Transformers in review 2022.

Here's quick recap of every figure I reviewed and shot last year. Once again, if you see figures like Kingdom Rodimus, it's only because I decided to open him late especially ER Allicon. I'll give my quick thoughts on who I thought took the cake of best figure at the end of this article.

86 Sharkticon

Earthrise Allicon

Kingdom Pipes

Kingdom Blaster

Kingdom Tracks

Kingdom Rodimus Prime

Legacy Skids

Legacy Kickback

86 Perceptor

Legacy Dragstrip

86 Junkheap

86 Spike

Legacy Blitzwing

86 Sludge

Legacy Motormaster

Red Alert

86 Wheelie

Legacy Wildrider

86 Ironhide

Legacy Dead-End

86 Rumble

For me, I felt I had the most fun with Rodimus Prime of the Kingdom line. I think if it's the current year of release, the honor went to Sludge. The only thing that kept him from being perfect is the wonky legs. Besides, that I really dig his look and how he turned out overall. 86 Iron-hide was another guy in this category. He played better than Sludge but I had some issues on how he looked in certain areas. I just read a post off FB that some people actually didn't like him. I thought I judged IH harsh. Nevertheless I still liked him.

The Legacy line was fairly impressive. I actually liked what came out of this line. The only difference was that they did feel super light and I was paying loads more for shrunked figures. But the Stunticons turned out nice at the end.

Kingdom Blaster was another amazing figure. Soundwave definitely met his match. I'm glad he was another mold rather than a retool of Soundwave. Lots of replay value from this guy as well.

ER Allicon turned out to be awesome as well. Too bad it took me so long to open him but he turned out to be a superb figure.

The other figures were great though it wasn't up to par with the ones I'd mentioned especially Kingdom Tracks. What happened to this guy seriously? The 86 Legends class were nice but they were just too simple for my tastes.

I think it turned out to be a decent year for TF releases. There wasn't much G1 releases so my wallet was able to ease a bit. Anyhow, laters and see you again.
