[REVIEW] Acid Rain World Raptor MK1

Interior
There is not much of an interior to the Raptor.  It is a small support vehicle that has a fairly exposed driver.  It consists of handlebars, a seat and foot pegs for the driver to get positioned.  There are of course a few controls to not only drive but to also transform and maneuver the Raptor when in mech mode.

Exterior
The exterior of the Raptor is well done.  One thing that separates the Acid Rain line from a lot of others is the weathering.  Out of the box the vehicle looks as if it has been in the elements for a long time.  In vehicle mode there is a small amount of protection for the driver.  This is a fast attack vehicle so not too much has been put in front of the operator.  The wheels are a durable all terrain design that look as though they can go through whatever environment they are subject to.

When transformed the Raptor not only changes in height, but also in how the driver is exposed.  There is a small plate that covers center mass but leaving the head exposed.  Their hands are also slightly covered.  Once elevated the gun underneath has more area to wreck havoc.  It is of course a smaller type of Gatling gun similar in diameter to what the Agurts have.  The MK1 does not have arms similar to the MK2.  This is mainly a fast moving protection vehicle to make up for the sluggishness of the Stronghold.

Construction
The construction on any of the vehicles I have reviewed has been top notch.  There has been nothing flimsy and all the parts click into place nicely.  When in mech mode the Raptor has a few positions.  The legs can have the main body raised and lowered to have different levels of exposure.  Looking at the MK1 and the MK2 it is easy to see the improvements that were made to accommodate in the battlefield.

About Anthony Spatucci

I was brought into collecting when the GI Joe 25th anniversary came out. After dealing with repaints and sub par vehicles I started searching around for something a little better. A friend turned me onto the fighting 118th and I started moving towards a more realistic "verse" for my figures. After seeing a few dioramas from members on the site I got the bug for them. There is a certain quality of person that contributes to the site and that is what has kept me coming back. Everyone is honest about what your work can have better and really helps you to get the best out of yourself. I am MAJOR BLOOD on the site.
