War for Cybertron Bumblebee

20140622_031222

War for Cybertron - I originally wanted to review both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper. But on second thought; I would rather do it individually. Somehow after I took shot for this review; this Bumblebee broke on the left hand part. I really do not know who was responsible for it as I know that I kept it in vehicle mode. Then I found out that Bumblebee was transformed incomplete and there is a broken parts lying on the floor while Cliffjumper was still in vehicle mode and intact. This was the only WFC Bumblebee that I had left. I have already sold off the TRU exclusive Bumblebee. Such bad luck for me. So here is a review of WFC Bumblebee.

Bio

20140623_024428

Before he was the silent warrior he is today, Bumblebee was a nonstop chatterbox, charged with carrying the most vital Autobot communications. He was a fearless infiltrator of enemy lines who stuck to the shadows and faded into the background despite his bright yellow armor. His spirit was unbreakable and his friendly humor was invaluable during the first dark days of the war. Sources: TFU.info

Vehicle Mode

For a Cybertronian vehicle; he does look amazing. I always wonder why Cybertronian needed wheels in their vehicle mode. Anyway; he looks futuristic Volkswagen Beetle. I do love his vehicle mode compared to the rest of War for Cybertron figure. So far; this really suits him as a scout. Fast but not well armored.

Robot Mode

His transformation process is quite complicated. There are time when you need to force the peg to the joints. The one thing you need to be aware are those on the legs. So the instruction is really a big help here even if you are an experienced collectors. Anyway; I love the head sculpt. So close as the video game characters. The only setback was that he looks like he does not have a waist due to the large and busty chest. And if you view it from the rear; he looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. He is packed with a blaster and two hidden blade.

Conclusion

For a four years old figure; this figure is quite sturdy but a bit fragile due to a lot of rotating mechanism. Do not force it or you will break it. I prefer the vehicle mode compared to the robot mode. Felt like that Audi R8 from I, Robot movie. Ok, maybe I exaggerated a bit. For fan of the video game; you might want to get this as there is not so many figure from the video game universe.

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.
