Strafe

Photobucket

Reveal the Shield - You got to love Hasbro for their effort and marketing. All you have to do, just repaint the whole mold and put an Autobot or Decepticon label and name. Strafe is just another repaint from the original mold of Mindwipe. Instead of being a black and red livery, Strafe is a white, red and orange livery.

Bio


While Strafe is usually a pretty nice guy, other Autobots tend to keep away from him, especially during battle. This is because he's way too easily startled, and when scared, responds by attacking everything around him until he burns himself out. Nothing is safe around Strafe, not even sizzling bacon, for any sound can set this Autobot off in a terribly violent way.

Vehicle Mode

It is big and very bulky. The width is almost identical to the leader class Starscream. But a bit smaller in height and diameter. The jet mode looks very nice and sleek. There are no other function or weaponry for the jet mode. The only thing that is moveable is the wheel below the body of the jet plane. Other than that, it is just a simple but bulky looking jet plane.

A bit of warning; when trying to unpack Strafe, be careful not to scratch the paint. I have this type of problem with Rodimus (Universe 3 Pack version) too where I accidentally cause the paint to scratch. I think the paint was quite cheap compare with other models. By the way, Strafe is somewhere between cool and awesome. I might say that I found it that he is quite hard to stand straight. His wing is to heavy and his leg is too thin. But what I love about this model, is his pops-up dagger. Look very stealthy and got that Gundam looks.

If you already had Mindwipe on your collection, then I bet you will have the coolest looking Transformers. Even if you own Mindwipe; Strafe will be another nice addition to your collection. For me Strafe looks more like an anime character than a Transformers itself.

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.
