Transformers Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom Deluxe WFC-K32 Autobot Pipes Review

 

Power by the elites are a pipe dream at best

Hello folks and I am back. Today we have Kingdom WFC-K32 Pipes. How does he fare? Let's find out and let's get started!

Boxing

Pipes has a pretty good box art cover due to the fact I love the running into battle poses. I ended up getting Dinobot for the trading card and his weapons came in the back of the packaging. The latter which I thought came missing at first.

Pipes

Pipes is used off the mold of Kingdom Huffer. You can modify the roof (his back) to whatever position you crave. I prefer it tilted diagonal like how the box displays him. But once again to your pleasing. He comes with two pipe weapons which mimics his signature look to the cartoons and toys. You can place it pretty much where you see the 5mm pegs whether its his forearms, knees (side), and shoulder etc... He can also use them as guns though its a bit loose on that part. I do like the bright white and his blues. I don't know much about his character except remembering him in the cartoon where he helped install Metroplex's cog, and recently my TF buddy Darkonen mentioning him being flattened by Overlord. Of course, I had to look this up and man I guess it was time for Pipes to pay the piper. As for versatility, Pipes does an array of poses nicely. He pretty much poses the same as Huffer. All in all, Pipes plays well here.

Alt mode

Same transformation as Huffer. Fairly easy if you already dealt with Huff. Use your imagination here in how you wanna place his pipes. Seriously, the word pipes can almost be used as a joke here. That aside, I felt this mode was ok like Huffers. The problem I felt on both figures is that I feel the front wheels don't exactly touch the ground too well so therefore it doesn't spin competently. But it is what it is. Like I said a while back that I don't find most alt modes appealing. No lost here really.

W/Huffer

Pretty much the same mold as I mentioned earlier. Differences besides color were the head, the two metal bars on Huffer's forearm, chest piece, crotch and some mini-dots present on Huff's wheels. Both can exchange each other's weapons. It was here where I looked at Huffer and realized man he looked good here. His colors are outstanding and vibrant. I wasn't too thrilled when I first got him but he is starting to grow on me now. However, I do feel Pipe's weapons are more fun to employ then Huffer's Shield and rifle. 

*note* I transformed Pipe's hood wrong though it matches with Huffers.

You just need to pluck out the wheels hidden in his back. Just be careful as usual. Credit to the user from FB. Sorry, I forgot to get your name. But credit goes to that person. I claim no credit but to use this for info purposes.

Conclusion

Overall, Pipes is a good figure. No qualms if you already enjoyed Huffer. Pipes fits well to the G1 classics line up. I do like his blues/whites though it is somewhat overshadowed by a more colorful Huffer. Pipes does have the better weapons and it can be toggled and placed in however you choose. That it's for now. See you next time and take care folks. Mahalos.
