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.

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.

Age of Extinction Optimus Prime

Age of Extinction - It is a guilty pleasure when I saw this figure that was selling for half price. I really can't resist to pick up this figure instead of Grimlock (I hate those bony Dinobots). Anyway; I really felt as a leader class, this figure really shrink almost to a voyager level. I still remember holding my RoTF Optimus Prime and RVS Leader Class Starscream. Those were heavy and was almost difficult to transform. This felt almost like a blown up voyager class. Now here is my review for this 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.

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 MINI-Con Assault Team

30 th Generations - Sorry but I have to put both insignia faction on this one. Mini-con was actually a tool for both faction to be used during the war until those Mini-cons were sent to earth according to Armada timeline. A combine Mini-con was not a new things in the Transformers world. To my knowledge; most Mini-cons will combine either into a sword or a weapon of mass destruction. But this group of Assault Team is made of three Mini-cons; Heavytread, Runway and Windshear. This three will combine into an almost deluxe class Centuritron. Due to the nature of a combiners; I will split the review individually and squeeze the content as pack as possible. Here is my long review of this figure(s). So bare with me...

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 Armada Starscream

30 th Generation - A long time ago; I owned the Transformers Armada game on the PlayStation 2. It was a good game and what I love was be able to fight Starscream as its protagonist. It was that point that I really want to watch the Transformers anime/cartoon again. And I did. In my deepest thought; I really want to get the Armada Starscream figure. But it was until I started collecting again that I was thinking of getting it through ebay. Luckily; Hasbro has released a new mold based on the same figure. But smaller in deluxe size and much more better. Here is my review of 30 th Generation Starscream.

30th Generation Blitzwing

30 th Generation - A long time ago, I am not ashamed to say that I used to have bootleg Transformers. I remember having a white unpainted Optimus Prime, Soundwave, Topspin, Devastator, Broadside and Blitzwing. Those bootlegs were all around even in big supermarket. Blitzwing was one of those short lived bootleg that I had. I do not even remember where I have put it as I was very young back then. I did watched G1 and the movie before but never paid attention to the characters except for those main characters. I only know Blitzwing in the 1986 movie and later in the Transformers Animated movie. He is the type who had personality disorder where he can change his face into different characters. Anyway; here is my review of Blitzwing.

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

30th Generations Megatron

30 th Generations - Finally, a figure that worth to buy. I bought this last year together with Orion Pax. As soon as I removed it from the box; I just displayed it on my shelves and forget all about it. I never did try to transform or even take a picture of it. But it was this photo session that I finally managed to play around with it and transform it. I was surprise that this figure is actually quite good although it got a few flaw. Here is my review of Megatron.

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

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 Kickback

Fall of Cybertron - My first insecticon after all these years. Although; there were third party company who produced not-Kickback, I was never interested to get one due to a lot of fact. Personally, third parties are expensive and they came in limited amount. But when Hasbro announced Kickback figure in conjunction with the release of Fall of Cybertron video games; I was amaze on the product picture. In the promo picture; Kickback definitely a must buy in my book. Here is a review of this figure.

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.
