Windcharger vs Wipeout

20140525_091839

Transformers United - Say hello to my recent purchase early this year. Meet Windcharger (Red) and Wipeout (Black). I miss out on the Hasbro RVS version of Windcharger and I know that he is an important character in the G1 universe. I know less about Wipeout origin but I do know that he appeared in the Marvel G1 comic book as Trypticon personal assistant or scout. Both has the same mold and I am sure there is no differences. Here is my review.

Vehicle Mode

I love the car mode. It looks more like a Shelby GT500 compared to his G1 Pontiac Trans Am sport cars. Not much of a differences with the Hasbro version except for the insignia. Hasbro Windcharger has a rub-on sticker (RVS) and this version has a printed decal. I love the color on both version. Clean and high quality.

Robot Mode

I don't really know how much differences between these two. Wipeout has a blue helmet, red eye, gray and black theme while Windcharger has a dark grey helmet, a dark blue eye, gray and red theme. The transformation process was a easy. What you need to aware when transforming was the waist and leg part that joint the upper roof. These two has a weapon gimmick whereas you can rotate the hands and reveal a weapons. Both has nice articulation but limited.

Conclusion

Although that I am a few years late for reviewing this but nevertheless I really love these two legend class. If you are a G1 enthusiast than this is for you. It is an awesome figure to collect and I am not even half way through getting the G1 characters that I remember fondly of when I was a kid (sigh).

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.

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).
