Armored Gator

Armored Gator is part of the TechnoZoids line, which ran around the middle of the 90s. A lot of the Zoids from that line suffered from some pretty terrible color schemes, and Armored Gator has bore the brunt of it in my opinion. The model was technically assembled when I first got it, but it was in so many pieces that it may as well have been unassembled. This was not because of poor storage or rough handling, but simply because Armored Gator's body is just prone to exploding into pieces if you so much as look at it wrong, it seems. My Armored Gator's haphazard ability (Or perhaps I should inability) to stay together has prevented me from even winding up the motor because it comes to pieces if I hold it. However, when it is wound up and let go, it walks along, swishing his tail and head as he goes. To be frank, unless you're really into the small windups or really like the Armored Gator/Barigator design a whole lot, I probably would not recommend this kit to anyone. There is a reason why my Armored Gator has earned the nickname of Explodey :p.
