Barricade

Dark of the Moon - Barricade, he is consider MIA in Revenge of the Fallen. But he appeared back in Dark of the Moon. So where is he during the Egyptian incident? Maybe he is looking for Megatron's body or something. Anyway, to me his vehicle mode always the coolest amongst the Decepticon land vehicle. Love the insignia 'To Punish and Enslave'. Really stick to Decepticon harsh principle. Anyway, he is back but how does he fare with former figure? Well just read on.

Bio

BARRICADE doesn't make friends, he finds potential victims. His seemingly benevolent police car vehicle mode has been known to trick potential targets into trusting him. BARRICADE has the ability to stalk and eliminate nearly any AUTOBOT he wishes. Humans and AUTOBOTS alike should take cover when they notice police sirens in the distance - it could be the last thing they ever hear!

I can't complain much about his vehicle mode. I always love his vehicle mode. I love the Saleen S281 police car. Every detail on this vehicle is great. Even the smallest detail like the Decepticon logo and the slogan really appealing. Can't say much about the MechTech weapon mounted on his siren. Unluckily, he only had one MechTech point on his vehicle mode.

Alternate Mode

This is the part where I would say that he is truly and amazingly... Ugly. Why I said ugly? Because he had no abdomen or anything. I bought the Premium series of Barricade and he does not look like his Dark of the Moon counterpart. At least, that series was really tall than this one. The transformation process was not that hard. But like usual, the manual instruction was really terrible. There were some error and looks really confusing but after a while I really get the hang of it. Anyway, the only interesting part was his upper chest. Roll it out, and the front grill will change into a crunch chest part. Other than that, his alternate mode was not that interesting and really short. Almost identical to DOTM Skids. So I suggest you buy the Human Alliance Barricade, instead of wasting your money on this one like I did.

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.

Expressive Art Convention Brunei - Gundam Exhibition

EACon Brunei - Honestly, I am not a big fan of Gundam. But I do love the creative things that some collectors are willing to do beyond the stock paint and decal. Some are very quite amazing compared to the normal stock version. The ability to customized a Gundam model (or GunPla) is beyond imagination and limitless compared to a Transformers figure. Well just look at the pictures and judge it by yourself (Pictures make take a while to load, so please be patient).

Expressive Art Convention Brunei - The Cosplay Artist

EACon Brunei - Cosplay, a rather interesting pop-culture that is now spreading like peanut butter on a sandwich. I am astound to found out that cosplay had become a sensation particularly for teenagers. Not just that, I also found out that most of them make a good effort by trying to match exactly as their anime or video game character counterpart. Well, just have a look and see what I mean.
