(...) I went and bought one, to check it out. Basically, the top surface of the chassis is the size of a 2x6 brick, with studs, except for the center 4 studs.

(...) I like the dark grey wheel hubs, but apart from that it didn't have that many interesting parts.

Well as part of my "must get at least one of every Slizer" obsession :) I have gotten at least one of every roborider and I must say that my dad likes them better than me.
