![]() ![]() The appeal fee paid for an inadmissible appeal was paid with legal basis and will not be refunded. The EPO will only refund fees that are paid without legal basis. The distinction between an inadmissible appeal and an appeal deemed not to have been filed is relevant with respect to refund of the appeal fee. The question was referred by outgoing (and controversial) EPO President Benoît Battistelli, just before the end of his term. The referred question in G 1/18 is whether an appeal to the BA a) is inadmissible or b) should be deemed not to have been filed, where a notice of appeal is filed after expiry of the time limit for filing an appeal ( Article 108 EPC). If the EBA considers the referral admissible, they will then issue an opinion on the point of law ( Article 22(b), EPC). "Transformers" and other indica trademarks of Hasbro and/or Takara.Under Article 112(1)(b) EPCthe EPO President may refer a point of law to the EBA if (1) the question relates to ensuring uniform application of the law and (2) if two Boards of Appeal (BA) have given different decisions on that question ( Article 112(1)(b) EPC). Had the robot mode been a little better it would have gone a long way towards improving this toy - 4.5/10 I don't hate him - his car mode is pretty good, but overall it's not a toy I can get very excited about. Lube was repainted as Bullet in Japan.Īn engine cover that's surplus to requirements, a spoiler that's easy to lose and a bad robot mode all combine to make Slapdash a fairly uninspiring toy. ![]() The biggest problem is that if you have neither the engine cover nor Lube, you're going to be stuck with a really bad looking chest. Overall, I don't really like this robot mode. He's got rather blocky arms, and a very wide statue. His legs are way too big anyway, and his chest is small. Slapdash's robot mode has a few low points. The front spoiler forms a funny-looking groin. He's got his rear wheels on his shoulders - forming huge shoulder pads, and a red face. Lube, on his chest is dark grey, silver and orange and looks rather out of place (I prefer to put the engine block there). He's got grey elbow joints, yellow forearms and black fists. In robot mode, Slapdash is basically blue above the groin, grey at the groin and yellow below. There's a spot on his back for you to mount & store the rear spoiler and the engine block. Swing the forearms down and the fists out. Swing the arms out to the sides and then fold the two halves down to form the robot itself. Slide the legs down and fold the front spoiler up to form the groin. ![]() Fold the two haves down (if you don't have Lube, you'll have to press the little white button where he sits first). If you have him, make sure Lube is inserted. Remove the engine block and rear spoiler. The chrome on his back pretty much gives away that he's real, however. In a way the orange makes him look like a knock-off. His legs are a little long, and his limbs very bright, but he doesn't look bad, just a tad unusual. Lube has a grey torso, grey head, with a dark blue face and bright orange arms & legs. Overall, a good car mode, brought down by the fact he essentially has two engines. He's nice and solid, nothing loose, although the front spoiler can move a bit, it wont fall off or start transforming without help. He's got two Autobot symbols - one on either side of the headrest. Either Lube or the engine block look fine in the engine slot, it has to be said, even if Lube looks unlike any engine a F-1 racer would have. And it really looks bad on the back of the spoiler. The whole concept of an engine block in a Powermaster is pretty stupid, really. He has a detachable yellow engine block, which can go either behind the driver's seat or on the back of the spoiler (if Lube is present). Slapdash's front half is yellow, the rear blue, with grey front & rear spoilers. A blue, yellow, black & grey racer, with black plastic wheels (which account for pretty much all the black). ![]()
