I have long made fun of these (and the Gobots). This is one of three of the most ridiculously designed Transformers of all time. This is Cindersaur of the 1988 Firecons. The gimmick with each Firecon is that they could shoot sparks from their chests. This wouldn't be allowed nowadays due to child safety laws. His alternate mode is basically an overweight, barely mobile dragon. To transform him, all you have to do is pull back the arms and pull out the head. That's it. The robot mode looks just plain bad. There are not many G1 figures that I can't stand, but I really wish Hasbro hadn't wasted anyone's time with these. The Sparkabots were great figures, and they could easily outmaneuver and outlast these poor Decepticons.
