Toy Review: Takara Generations Metroplex w/Scamper TG-23 review part 2 of 2!

Metroplex will clean up this mess!
Aloha Folks, back with part II. I had some issues with my uploads so it took me a while to fix it. Today we look at Alt mode and city mode for Metroplex. Without delay, let's get started! Oh, don't mind my messy room. *Special autobot appearances.*

Alt mode (No stickers applied):


 


 


 


 


Twist and shoot!



What the hook is used for.
 


 


 


 


 


 


 

Very easy to transform. I was amazed by his robot mode but his alt mode is easy to transform and play around with. It's nice for Legends scale robots. Metroplex serves as a carrier and a surfboard for the bigger robots. Haha. He looks kinda naked without the stickers though it will be remedied on the next and final Metroplex review. The pictures here don't really do his size justice. He is still that darn big! He looks awesome here no doubt. Scamper can use Metroplex's head as a canon. Neat gimmick. Play around with him for maximal fun. The western release has his ramps as black and its neat as hell. The Japanese release has him all white, something fans got turned off by but once again G1 animation colors the Japanese go by. Just FYI for those who wondered why the color difference.

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG44 Sharkticon and Sweep


Sharkticons, execute them! Aloha and welcome to another Takara Tomy Legends review. I actually forgot to review this guy when I picked him up with Legends Kup and Hot Rod. How does he fare? Well, let's get started!

How's about Sharkticons x 3! Box art looks nice. Typical but awesome artwork by Takara Tomy. I'm shocked that he isn't that fast according to his stats but I guess his courage makes up for it. Comes with a comic and I had no clue what was it about besides seeing Hot Rod fish up a Sharkticon which starts our Sharkticon story. Anyhow, here is the link:

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG-45 Hot Rod(Hot Rodimus) and Firebolt targetmaster.

More Hot Rod madness! Well, it ends here for now. This is the final Hot Rod review until I can get a Power of the Primes Rodimus Prime figure. Today in is Legends Hot Rod. I don't know what drove me to get this figure since I have so much Hot Rod/Rodimus figures but here is Legends Roddy nonetheless! Above pics is the usual box art and comic book that comes with it. I don't know much about the comic though it also takes place after Hot Rod left Cybertron in the Headmaster series. 
Here is the link to the official synopsis.


Blunder warning: I transformed Firebolt's gun mode wrong as well Hot Rod's chest piece in robot mode for the entire review. Don't say you weren't warned.

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG-46 Kup (Char) and recoil targetmaster

Hi folks. I guess I'm not out of the woods yet. I didn't want to let what I had keep me down so I'm going to do my best and do the things I like doing without straining myself too much. Any how, I pre-ordered LG-46 and a batch of other figures prior to my sickness. I had no choice but to ship it. Anyways, I wanted to get this Kup because he looks so much identical to his G1 toon part. I had to play with him. Results??? Let's get started!!

The comic book if you see in the bottom right hand corner depicts the scene where Rodimus Prime (Convoy), Blurr, and Kup (Char) left Seibertron in the Headmasters series. Kup pretty much settled on planet Micro. You can read the story translation here:

Note: I accidently mis-transformed Recoil in targetmaster mode for the entire shoot.

Alt Mode:

 


Very identical to his G1 toon pick-up truck look. The colors are fantastic here. No qualms here on entirely though I did have some trouble transforming him back to this truck mode after I transformed him to robot mode. Looking good so far.
