Skids

Photobucket

Dark of the Moon - One of the ugly twin from the second Micheal Bay Transformers movie, Revenge of the Fallen. Much like Q or Wheeljack in Dark of the Moon, Skids got an ugly head sculpt. I wish he were more like Bumblebee or make him more normal than with a big teeth, big ear, lousy left eye and small head with a big body. Why I even bother to buy him in the first place? Well, you will have to read the rest of my post to find out.

Bio

AUTOBOT SKIDS has learned a lot in the last few years. Frequent battle has hardened him, and partnership with humans has made him more sensitive to the value of life. Now, though he is still an eager warrior, his first priority is always the defense of those under his protection.

His vehicle mode looks amazing. With a new black paint and green stripe, it look simple but truly amazing. Even the details is nice with the gold Cheverolet logo paint and gloss black and green paint on the body. The only missing was the paint on the logo on the rear. Even the windscreen is tinted 75% black. The only thing I really dislike was that, you can see his ugly head inside his front windscreen. There are two MechTech points on the top similar to Crankcase. His big MechTech weapon almost covered up the top of the car.

His transformation is quite easy and you can easily transform him back without the manual. Anyway, he is a bit short for a deluxe class (even shorter than the scout class). He still maintain that stupid head sculpt and now with different coloring. He still have the green color and some parts of his body. I love the details on the sculpt (although I hate this character). He got three MechTech points (as you can see the picture above). Making him more powerful than ever (clumsier too, I guess). One on his hand, his arm and the back of his head. The next thing I really hate was his leg were too big. He looks like a deformed Donald Duck to me. If you are planning to buy him, make sure you will buy the Human Alliance version. At least that one look really great than this deluxe version.

Generation Windblade

30 th Generation - Meet the official fan-made Transformers; Windblade. According to tfwiki.net ; she was officially revealed at the 2013 SDCC (San Diego Comic-Con) after running a few polls from fan. What I love about Windblade was she is the first Autobot female that I ever bought (Yes, I bought Airachnid from TFPrime). I think I forgot that I bought Arcee from TFPrime but sold it before I could ever review or displayed it (in this case, that does not count). Well, I really like her appearance and here is my review of her figure.

CW Powerglide

Combiner Wars - Finally a better looking Powerglide. I can't afford to buy the Classic 2.0 Powerglide; so this would be quite a nice value for your money. Basically, Powerglide is one of the G1 mini-bot (and how I wish that Beachcomber and Seaspray would be redesign). When Hasbro announce Powerglide as a legend class Combiner Wars figure; I was really excited. The new figure is the best looking Powerglide known and identical to his animation counterpart. And the best part; he transform himself into a powerful blaster for the combiners. Here is my review of him.

Construct Bots - Ironhide

Construct-Bots - This will be my first posting on Construct-Bots. I was curious on how Constuct-Bots mechanism work and how it differ from the already established Lego Bionicle/Hero Factory line and the normal Kre-O brick line. Hasbro stated that with Construct-Bots; you don't need to remove the parts to transform from one form to another. As an additional info; this Construct-Bots (CB) Ironhide is not my first CB. That would be Starscream and I will review it when the time comes. So here is my review of Ironhide.
