Generation Springer (Asia Exclusive)

20140606_085751

Generations - I know that I am a bit slow on reviewing this (two years slow that is); at least I got the chance to review it. AND I know the 30th Generation Springer is already out; I still want to review this Asia Exclusive. So here is my review of the Asia Exclusive Springer.

Vehicle Mode

I don't know what to say. By sporting a new repaint using Springer G1 livery; it looks fairly legit. But the fact still remain that this was still a repaint/remold of Tomahawk/DoTM Vortex. I do prefer Tomahawk livery compared to Springer. In G1 animation and comic books; Springer was a triple changer. And this figure has only one vehicle mode. Although; there are some initiative from fans to modified him into a land vehicle mode. The only thing that I really don't get it is why there is a sword if you can't hide it?

Robot Mode

His transformation process is easy. You just have to be careful when inserting his head into the cockpit. And both hands are transform to form his rear wings/rotor. I really don't this figure due to the fact that he is small. Springer was a tall Autobot in the animation. Almost as tall as Ultra Magnus. With this figure; he looks puny. To make matter worst his head is not the appropriate proportion with his body. He has a sword; and that not even as cool looking as TF:Prime Wheeljack.

Conclusion

I felt like that I hate this figure. Then you ask me; why did you buy it in the first place? One reason; at that time I really cannot afford third party figure as it is freaking expensive. Lastly; I missed the Universe line Springer (which was a much better figure). I guess Hasbro rushed its production line to keep fans from buying the third party figure. But that does not prevent fans from buying third party either (due to the fact that this figure sucks). Not until the 30th Generation Springer was released; and everybody was busy selling the third party not-Springer.

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.

AoE Evolution Pack - Optimus Prime

Age of Extinction - Sorry for the late update. Been busy with life and collecting some masterpiece along the way. This double pack caught my eyes because of the classic/henkei mold. I already have the AoE Evasion Optimus (but never did review it); so here is my chance to review it all at once.

CW Bombshell

Combiner Wars - It is a bug world out there. Anyway; this is the second Insecticon that I bought. We are missing the last legend wave (Megatron, Starscream, Gears, Skrapnel, Tailgate, Swerve and Cosmos). Either it arrived a few or none at all (and selling like hot cake). I can't complain much but at least the new Combiner Wars line release Bombshell (and yet to see upcoming Huffer, Blackjack and Warpath). Here is my review of this great and simple figure.
