Generation Wheelie (Asia Exclusive)

20140525_090438

Generations - I think I am doing a lot of Autobot review than the con lately. Well, that will change in a week time if I have the time. Anyway, I will review this guy. Yeah, Wheelie. I really hate him in the movie. He gave me headache than Blurr. Wheelie is another Asian Exclusive and a repaint/remold of Autobot Jazz. So here is my review.

Bio

This 2-in-1 vehicle-to-robot Transformers deluxe action figure is ready to battle the DECEPTICON invaders. When the enemy tries to get away, convert your figure to sports car mode to chase them down. Who will win the battle for Earth? It's up to you! Though very young, and possibly suffering from some kind of processor damage from his extended time stranded and alone on an alien world, WHEELIE is a fierce warrior. His rhyming speech can sometimes annoy the other AUTOBOTS, but when push comes to shove, they appreciate his unerring aim. Convert your WHEELIE figure from robot to vehicle and back again as the battle rages! Figure has a blaster and speakers that deploy!

Honestly; I really hate repaint. And this is the worst repaint. I guess Springer, Hot Spot and Swerve has better paint job than this guy. He still maintain that G1 livery except for that blue stripe. Anyway, I still prefer the legend class vehicle compared to this.

Robot Mode

If you read my previous posting on Special Ops Jazz; then it is basically the same mold. Except for the head and weapon. Instead of a gun; he has a slingshot that also can be use as a small puny gun. His head mold is identical to his G1 animation. At least this is the closest that you can get to the G1 characters if you are a G1 fanatics. And definitely not the pervert humping robot as depicted in M. Bay Transformers Revenge of The Fallen.

Conclusion

I am not a big fan of repaint or remold but I really can't pass on Wheelie due to his relation with the G1 and 1986 movie. But if you have the legend class Wheelie; than you can pass on this figure. He is too tall and all grown up. I prefer him to be the little kid and best friend to Grimlock (yes, Optimus was not the first person who rode Grimlock as depicted in the upcoming TF4 movie).

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.
