Windcharger vs Wipeout

20140525_091839

Transformers United - Say hello to my recent purchase early this year. Meet Windcharger (Red) and Wipeout (Black). I miss out on the Hasbro RVS version of Windcharger and I know that he is an important character in the G1 universe. I know less about Wipeout origin but I do know that he appeared in the Marvel G1 comic book as Trypticon personal assistant or scout. Both has the same mold and I am sure there is no differences. Here is my review.

Vehicle Mode

I love the car mode. It looks more like a Shelby GT500 compared to his G1 Pontiac Trans Am sport cars. Not much of a differences with the Hasbro version except for the insignia. Hasbro Windcharger has a rub-on sticker (RVS) and this version has a printed decal. I love the color on both version. Clean and high quality.

Robot Mode

I don't really know how much differences between these two. Wipeout has a blue helmet, red eye, gray and black theme while Windcharger has a dark grey helmet, a dark blue eye, gray and red theme. The transformation process was a easy. What you need to aware when transforming was the waist and leg part that joint the upper roof. These two has a weapon gimmick whereas you can rotate the hands and reveal a weapons. Both has nice articulation but limited.

Conclusion

Although that I am a few years late for reviewing this but nevertheless I really love these two legend class. If you are a G1 enthusiast than this is for you. It is an awesome figure to collect and I am not even half way through getting the G1 characters that I remember fondly of when I was a kid (sigh).

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.

Expressive Art Convention Brunei - The Cosplay Artist

EACon Brunei - Cosplay, a rather interesting pop-culture that is now spreading like peanut butter on a sandwich. I am astound to found out that cosplay had become a sensation particularly for teenagers. Not just that, I also found out that most of them make a good effort by trying to match exactly as their anime or video game character counterpart. Well, just have a look and see what I mean.

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.
