   Iguanus is a master of combat calculations. Armed with long range
   tactical missiles capable of carrying a wide variety of warheads, his
   firepower rating is among the highest of the Predacons. Able to
   accurately calculate target position from incredible distances, he
   obliterates enemies from thousands of kilometers with cutthroat
   precision. Special titanium armor plating withstands even the most
   severe blasts.

Color Scheme:

Although the list of colors don't sound that great, the shades chosen actually work quite well. He's got dark blue with some silver accents, deep orange, his legs and hands have a kind of iridescent blue tinting to them, and his chest is painted mostly silver.

Robot Mode:

Pretty good. His arms might be a little long overall, but he's got the kind of build that can pull it off. He looks a little silly from the back though, as his lizard head is right there, and the neck frill becomes sort of a skirt. ;-) The lizard tail is stuck to his head, but it folds down, allowing it to look like long hair or something.

Beast Mode:

I dig frillneck lizards, so that helps. As a frillneck, he looks pretty good, even if his legs are a bit disproportioned (for that kind of lizard). His gimmick serves him well in this mode.

Transformation:

Move the lizard legs all out to the sides, then flip the lizard neck/head unit around, fold his legs back in, position his arms, and voila! Not complex, but very effective.

Gimmicks:

His mouth houses a missile launcher which, when released, allows his neck frills to pop up a little. His "spark crystal" is hidden by a panel on his robot mode chest, which is kind of cool to have access to.

Pros/Cons:

Hula skirt effect with his lizard neck frills is kind of silly, but other than that he's a pretty neat toy.
