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.

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.

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.

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.

30th Generation Nightbeat

30 th Generations - Welcome back! It has been a very busy month and now I am finally back. I have uploaded Nightbeat picture to Flickr but never got the chance to review the figure. I never knew Nightbeat in the first place as he never did appear in the G1 animation. Instead I only know the headmaster Minerva who has the same mold as him. I have just read the Marvel G1 and I know that he plays an important role in the Autobot rank. He seems to be more of a detective than a crazy son of a gun. Anyway; if you bought this figure and you saw the comic that came with it, you will also wished that he would have the same mold as Jazz. Instead, you got another retool/repaint of Bumblebee. Here is a review of Nightbeat.

30th Generations Scoop with Holepunch and Caliburst

30 th Generations - I never knew who Scoop was until I read the Marvel G1 Transformers. And I did not even realize that he was in there except that he appeared in Transformers Universe. Honestly; I bought him because he is the second deluxe figure who have a targetmasters (exclude the commander class figure). Anyway, I would not mention much due to my lack of knowledge about him; so here is my review of him.

30th Generation Skids

30 th Generation - I was excited that Hasbro were to relive the Generation 1 characters into the new 30 th Generation mold. Skids was one of those characters. I never knew who Skids until I watched M. Bay Transformers Revenge of The Fallen. Then I realize after re-run the G1 episodes and saw him there. I have also previously read the Marvel G1 Transformers and found him there. I never did like the movie Skids . Well, I have to say that this figure is a great looking figure but hampered with several issues. Please click read more to find out why.

30th Generation Springer

30 th Generation - Finally, a figure that worth to own. Springer was always that Autobot that hang out with Rodimus, Kup, Blurr and Arcee (and sometimes Ultra Magnus). Anyway, he is part of The Wreckers team and after 30 years; he finally deserved the triple changer treatment. I did previously post the Asian Exclusive Springer before and tease you with this figure. After his G1 debut; there were a few Springer figure but none was a triple changers as before except for the third party not-Springer. So this was the epic figure of them all from Hasbro. Here is my review of Springer

Review: Transformers 4 - Age of Extinction

Copyright Protected © 2014 Paramount Pictures. All Rights Reserved. HASBRO, TRANSFORMERS, and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro Movie Review - Transformers Age of Extinction was released two weeks ago. After Dark of the Moon; I would thought that Micheal Bay is done with the Transformers franchise. But I was wrong. Very wrong. I have reviewed Dark of the Moon before. Two weeks ago; I was busy reading negative comments about Age of Extinction. I was skeptical at first but yesterday, I watched it with my family and here is my honest opinion and my thought about the movie (WARNING: Spoiler AHEAD) . Click more at your own risk.

Classic Jetfire

Classic - I bought Treadbolt before I bought Jetfire. I thought Treadbolt was an awesome figure and later bought the exclusive Henkei Dark Skyfire (Japanese version of Jetfire). Later on; it became an obsession and I end up buying the original Hasbro Jetfire through ebay and he came together with Grimlock as a dual pack (and at a good price for an old figure). For your information; the original Jetfire was a Macross VF-1A/S. But in the the animation and Marvel G1 comic book; Jetfire has a totally different look than the VF-1A/S. He is taller and looks like an astronaut. When they released this in 2006; this was the only Jetfire that came close with his animation and comic book characters. Here is my review to find out more.

Fall of Cybertron Ultra Magnus

Fall of Cybertron - Another and most probably my final Ultra Magnus review (until I can get my hand on the Masterpiece version - Just maybe). Anyway; he is a redeco/repaint of FoC Optimus Prime that I had reviewed before. Why am I getting him? Most probably because of that huge bad ass sword. I do not remember him as a playable character in the single player of Fall of Cybertron (maybe in multi-player?). One thing for sure; he got very nice detail and again; that sword really look bad ass. Here is my review of Ultra Magnus

War for Cybertron Bumblebee

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.

Random Thoughts - Why do we collect? An honest confession

Random Thoughts - When I started back in 2009; I would never thought that toy collecting was considered a hobby. I bought my first leader class Starscream for a reason to decorate my room and thought it would look cool on my computer desk. I was always the gaming geek at heart. If I was a collectors back then like I am today; I would have a huge collection of toys (not specifically Transformers) right now. Luckily I was not. I do have a special place in my heart for toys such as Transformers, Macross and recently Gundam since I was a kid. Here is my honest confession.

Rescue Bots Rescan Optimus Prime

Rescue Bots - Do you have children that is below the age of 5? Well I do. And as my son grew older; he seems has a keen eye on most of my collections. I don't mind as he don't really understand how to play with Transformers. And he only play my Transformers as a vehicle mode. That is why I usually bought him a toy cars instead. When my nephew bought his deluxe Rescue Bots Optimus to our room; at an instant want to play with it. You know children. They got jealous and everything. And my nephew was not the sharing type. Then the next day; I saw this new waves of Rescue Bots. It looks pretty good and it is safe to play even for my son (the hazard that most of my deluxe class collection came with a missile launcher). So I bought him this .

Reveal the Shield Grappel

Reveal the Shield - Bought this figure in 2012 or something. I did not managed to get Inferno before; so this was enough for me I guess. He did appear in the animation as an obsessed yet genius Autobot architect/engineer and were responsible to build the solar tower. Sometimes I do wish Grapple was a Decepticon instead. Now Hasbro has changed his name into Grappel instead of Grapple but I will just mentioned him as Grapple along the review. Anyway, here is my review of him.

Fall of Cybertron Sideswipe

Fall of Cybertron - I always have a knack to buy things first and review it later. This Sideswipe figure has been in my shelf for a year or more. Besides; I really enjoy buying Transformers and play it with rather than reviewing it. As soon as I removed the figure from its box; I never did try to transform it. But I do take a picture of it. Enough about me. Sideswipe did appeared in Fall of Cybertron but I think as a cameo. He is a playable characters in multi-player (I think). Honestly; he is not my first Sideswipe. My first would be the movie version. But I prefer him in red and have a proper feet (and not a wheel as leg). Here is my review of him.

Classic Grimlock

Classic 2.0 - I used to have two of this figure. One without the missile that I bought from a friend. And the other one is inside a double pack together with Jetfire. Anyway; there were no voyager Grimlock at that time and this was the closest thing you can get to a G1 Grimlock. Here is my review of a 6 years old figure.

Fall of Cybertron Jazz

Fall of Cybertron - You can never get enough of Jazz. I like him better than any Autobot. Unfortunately; I think the thoughts of having a Masterpiece Jazz would be impossible due to the reason Porsche reluctant to borrow their license to Hasbro/Takara. I have been trying to review this figure since last year. I remember I did upload it to somewhere but I failed to review it either. Anyway; in Fall of Cybertron, Jazz was a playable character besides Cliffjumper.

Beast Hunter Ultra Magnus

Beast Hunter - I used to have the first release of TF: Prime Ultra Magnus voyager class but I sold it off. I felt that one was a bit similar to the Commander Class Ultra Magnus . Anyway, I never followed the animation as I was hopping on each episodes (I don't even really know how he arrived to earth in the first place). Anyway, I really love this new design compared to the previous voyager class although I know it is just a remold of the TF:Prime Optimus Prime. I know I want to get the Platinum Ultra Magnus but that will have to wait. Here is my review on him.

30th Generations Orion Pax

30 th Generations - I never thought that in my mind that Orion Pax will have a new figure after the 2005 Japan exclusive. For those who does not know Orion Pax; then you better watch the G1 animation episodes again. I don't exactly remember the episode but it was when the Aerialbots were thrown back into time and met with him. In that episode; you will know who is responsible for Orion Pax and his revival to became the greatest Autobot leader of all time. Here is my review of Orion Pax.
