Depthcharge

Revenge of The Fallen - Remember Depthcharge from the Beast Wars Transmetal era? He is the egoistic Maximal who is on a quest for vengeance against Protoform X. But in this version, he was suppose to be in the 2009 Transformers movie, Revenge of The Fallen. Here is the concept of his movie counter-part.



Unluckily, he was cast out from the final production. I wonder if he was ever been introduce to the movie rather than having the stupid twins. That would be cool.

Bio

DEPTHCHARGE is a shrewd military strategist. AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS alike are accustomed to ground and air-based combat, but ocean tactics are unfamiliar to them. DEPTHCHARGE uses this to his advantage, choosing a stealth boat mode to spy on DECEPTICON forces from the nearest port. Fast and smart, DEPTHCHARGE never shies away from battle--but he prefers to be armed with the element of surprise.

Vehicle Mode

I was wondering if Depthcharge was ever made as a voyager class rather than a scout class. That would be so much better. I am not saying that this scout class is bad. It is just unimaginable. To be a small destroyer and stand amongst his deluxe or voyager class counter-part looks rather ridiculous. But nevertheless, this is one good quality vehicle mode. It got amazing details with a sky camouflage paint. The vehicle mode itself resemble a real world battleship called the US Lockheed Martin Littoral Combat Ship.

Alternate Mode

To be honest, I really felt his alternate mode is a bit ridiculous. He looks like he is wearing a bell bottom jeans. His thumbnails is bigger and making him looks like Leadfoot from the Power Core Combiner. His transformation was not that hard but the twist and turn of the foot will make you confuse first time you try it. Then there is the weapon mode or power mode (whatever you may call it). His leg can turn into a water ski platform. Making him a float (but don't try it on water because it sinks) and fast on water. His face maintain that Beast Wars looks. To those who really fond of him during the Beast Wars Transmetal era; you might want to get this ROTF 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.
