Transformers Prime Wheeljack

TFP RID Wheeljack

Transformers Prime - Wheeljack was a great scientist during the G1 era. Wheeljack is the nerd (sometimes I felt his human incarnation was Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory) of all nerd. Fortunately; in Transformers Prime, he has a different personality. Not so many bots wield a katana. The only famous bots that wield a katana was Bludegeon and Drift. But in the series, he was totally wicked. Here is my review about him.

Vehicle Mode

I love this mold that I bought 2 of his remold/repaint - Dead End and Wildrider. Compared to the Generation version; this vehicle mode is quite sporty and almost similar like the new modern Lancia Stratos. You just got to love those sweet sets of rims. Anyway, you can actually mount the swords as follow (in which I really don't get it why you want to do it).

His transformation was the most fun I ever had. You just have to be caution on the leg parts where a few pegs slide up and down. Wheeljack looks superb compared to the generation version. His articulation is really superb except for his two hands. Sometimes, I make an error in transforming his shoulder and make him looks like an ape. So do be aware. I love his face mold. Almost identical to the animated version. Anyway, the only setback was his height but that would not be a concern to me.

Conclusion

I do admit that I don't really follow much the animated series but I just love his characters compared to the rest. The often rebellious and short tempered Wheeljack is something that I can relate with. So if you are looking for a bad ass Autobot, get him or get Drift. Just don't get the Dark Energon and Beast Hunter version. Both of those version looks ugly. Or you can just wait for the release of Masterpiece Wheeljack

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.
