Construct Bots - Ironhide

20141102_083137

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.

Parts

Ironhide makes up of 45 pieces of plastic parts (yes, I've cheated a bit and Google it). As a scout class; there is not much going on. You can finish it up less than 3 minutes. Ironhide comes with a small gun.

Vehicle Mode

One thing you will have to understand about CB vehicle form was that; it was never meant to copy a real life vehicle. The closest thing you will get was a sort-of-Cybertronian vehicle. I really do love the vehicle mode. Sort of bulky but fairly minimize look. Almost look like a dune buggy.

Robot Mode

I love how Ironhide really look and feel. Felt like a younger version of him. Skinny and not much going on for a weapon specialist. He should be; no he deserved to be a triple changer or an Elite Class. But that is what CB is all about. Customization. Get the rest of the CB figure and you can make him a bad ass that he deserved to be.

Conclusion

I think the rear view picture has a wobbly leg. But that does not mean he is not sturdy. One thing I am amaze about CB was that it is quite sturdy and sometimes can be heck of a nuisance. Why? Some parts need to be push hard into the pegs itself. I never did try to customize CB much as I love them the way they are. But who knows that some day, I might show you a customize version of them.

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).
