Weapons

The two small turrets on the back can also be mounted on the forearms.

You can also swap out the head ornament for a smaller version.

There are two sticker options for the eyes,
but I decided to leave them off and just let the clear parts show through as-is.

Leftover parts

Limb articulation.
Both the elbows and knees are poseable.

TRANSFORMATION

To start the transformation, detach the two small turrets from the back.

Bend the elbows 90 degrees, lower the caterpillar tracks to horizontal, then

fold both arms as shown and tuck them back behind the body.

Spread the legs apart, bend them back, and rotate them into position as shown, then

rotate so the caterpillar tracks are flat on the ground.

Mount the small turrets alongside the large turret and attach the weapon as the gun barrel, then

extend both sides of the rear section and unfold the skirt parts to complete the transformation.

Tank mode.
Looks pretty convincing!

Underside

Gun barrel and turret articulation.

The hatch can be opened as well.

Together with Zeton, the first entry in the Evoroid lineup.

This kit is the G-Crawler (official English name: G-Crawler) from Kotobukiya's Evoroid series. Based on the same Evoroid Core, this one goes with a tank transformation concept. True to its weapon theme, it sports an olive drab color scheme and a solid, stocky build.

Despite its small size, both the elbows and knees are articulated — though the two small turrets on the back make waist rotation tricky, which is a bit of a downside. That said, the joints are nice and tight so there's no worry about parts flopping around, and it pulls off a pretty dramatic transformation into a convincing tank form. Getting everything aligned after transforming takes a little fiddling, but it transforms perfectly into a compact, solid-looking tank. Little details like rotating gun barrels, turret movement, and an opening hatch are all packed in there too.

All in all, it's a small but surprisingly packed kit, and the quality in tank mode is more than satisfying. If the style appeals to you, this is a highly recommended, super fun and adorable transforming kit. :-)
