Terence Ho since 1981(The Last Ronin)

At long last! 5 years out of his cage, Metroplex heeds the call of the last prime! I figured it was time to test the waters on this guy and man was I not disappointed.... at least not yet. Today I will take a look at robot modes for both Metroplex and Scamper. Part II will deal with alt modes and such while part III will deal with add on stickers and other things I missed in the first two parts. Without delay, let's get started! *Warning: This is the Takara Generations release from 2013 and not the re-release of the Legends figure. Hence, there is no Manga (comic). Not to mention the voice clips in this release are English. I heard the re-release is now in Japanese. * Boxing and contents         Man, that is one huge box to encase a huge figure! I will get to this part later on. It was actually a pain to remove Metroplex from his prison box because he is twist-tied and taped heavily into all these individual black brackets. It to...

Aloha folks, the final portion of the Computron review has arrived. After I was astounded by the individual figures, does his combine form hold up or is it a let down? Let's get started! Computing....       This guy rocks! Not only is Computron eye candy, he is built very well. He stands now, imo, the best of all the combiners released. If you read all my previous Unite Warriors review, most of the time, majority of the figures have trouble standing, Menasor being the worst of all.  You have to adjust little to none to make him sturdy. Did I mention, he is easy on the eyes as well? I love how you can place most of his weapons to combine one big weapon. A very big step up from the Combiner wars version. I love how Takara also tweaked his chest from Superion's to give him the computing look. If Takara added electronic effects to his chest, then Computron would be perfect! He still has the normal Hands, Guns, and Feet (HFG) but no problem f...

Happy New Year folks, I finally decided to get off my butt to shoot the long-awaited Computron. By now he is probably old news. I had him in storage since late Aug/early September. Was he worth that wait? Or should he had stayed in the box? Without delay, let's get to each individual Technobots. Packaging and Out of the box       The artwork is amazing! I love how Nosecone is drilling himself out of the ground as if he was a ground version of a humpback whale. It also reminds of me of the old TMNT days where the Shredder and his henchmen would use their transport modules to resurface from the underground. Love how Afterburner is popping a wheelie as well. As for the comic, it is Grimlock's birthday. As a refresher course, Grimlock gave birth (not literally) to the Technobots in the cartoon. Grimlock lost his infinite wisdom by giving it to Computron who utilized the data to incapacitate Abominus, a Decepticon combiner. Dirk Manus (G1 ...
