Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise WFC-E9 & E29 Starscream and Thundercracker/Skywarp Target exclusive review! Part I of II


Here they are, the hard to find seekers of Target; minus Starscream that is. This will be part I as I will make final judgments on part II. Let's take a look at them and let's get started.

Boxing:

 


 


 


 


I decided to shoot Starscream and his posse as soon as I got them. It took me a while to get them out of the box. But here they are none-the-less. I'm still not familiar with the locations they derive from  but I shot it for your viewing pleasure anyways.

The trio for you. No waist swivel as some fans pointed. Kinda of a bummer. I really dig Skywarp's paint scheme. Thundercracker looks the blandest in comparison but he still looks good here. I love Starscreams colors as well. The seekers look more like their cartoon counterparts overall. The trio performs decent poses as well. I do like their null-rays they got in this version, but I know some people would prefer a more slimmer version. Can't win em all. Oh, who can forget Skywarp's mouth.

This mode was actually a little difficult for me to transform into at first. It took me a while to figure it out without looking at the manual. I finally got it transformed none-the-less. You get your raptor fighting jets. They look nice and they have 5 mm ports all over the figures. You can peg other weapons like I did just for fun providing they fit. I thought Galvatron's cannon would look great here. Thundercrackers pics showcase where you can plug your weapons. Use your imagination.

I dunno if it's just mines, but for me Skywarp's transformation was fine. Thundercracker's left wing though wouldn't stay pegged in. I know some people were complaining of TC's wing being floppy or something similar but the peg issue was that of a minor annoyance. Starscream's right wing for me kept popping off every time you try to put it in place. It pops back in like easy peasy but it's a little annoying when that happens still.

Conclusion for now... 

I will be back with the finale to sum up how I feel about these guys. I will do some comparison shots with the classic seekers. Until then...

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG55 Slugslinger and Caliburst Targetmaster.




Hiya folks, I'm back with another Legends edition of Takara Tomy Transformers LG55 Slugslinger and Caliburst; 2nd of the 5 transformers my sister bought for me from Tokyo. Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing and packaging

 


 


 


Destron and Decepticon merged into one?












Awesome Boxart and packing from Takara like usual. You have an mis-spelling error on his manual, his faction name is spelled "Desepticon." The comic included actually involves Spike being the bad guy; not sure why but he is. Slugslinger incapacitates some autobots including his buddies Misfire and Trigger happy. It is up to 3 of the girls to save them all. In doing so they are nearly rendered naked again (yup, a recurring theme in the legends comics). They save the day and here is the link for the synopsis:
