Terence Ho since 1981(The Last Ronin)

This is it. The finale. Shot this a few weeks ago, but due to school I had difficulty finding the time to upload this. To brief this summarily, the figure comprises of 6 robot figures and they form the mighty-"not Devastator"- Giant. Because this is a third party figure, the Decepticon logos are non-existent plus the names of the characters are different. Behold! Devastator! Earlier on, I reviewed the figures on their robot modes and alt modes. I was amazed by how they have multitude of gimmicks in weapon set-ups. I had the most trouble transforming Scrapper, who goes by the name Wheel Loader in this one. I had one of his legs popped off and had trouble putting it back on. Once I got it back on, I vowed to never transform him again. When I finally got to Giant mode, it was downhill from there. Was a fairly easy set up and you could pull more gimmicks with his crane and guns to form one cool looking assault weapon. Not that I condone violence. Bec...

Finished the shoot for the robot modes of the "not" constructicons. Transform! The "not" constructicons in deluxe size robot mode. Their robot modes look definitely more detailed and refined to their alt modes. That's not saying much. To me Scrapper looks the oddest of the bunch. I didn't recall him having this large chest piece in the G1 series. It certainly doesn't help him here. Hook's head is green for unknown reasons. Long Haul is wide!!!! He is disproportionate in width in comparison to his buddies. He makes some very interesting poses though. In Robot mode, I felt they captured Mixmaster the best. No real opinion here, I just like the look of his grey hood though it was green in the G1 series, so maybe they got his colors mixed up with Hook's head. Scavenger seems to have more of a mouth rather than mouth plate. The bots can utilize and mix and match a variety of weapons. So that is a plus +1 in my book. Next up, the gestalt Giant! Cli...

 Well, Maketoys is producing a 2nd run for Giant aka Devastator, so I decided to open mines up (First run). So far the link below will open up the Constructicons in Vehicle mode. I will do part 2 in their Robot mode, then part 3 featuring Giant aka Devastator and final words. For the vehicles, the plastic feels okay. If you look at the pics, there isn't really anything I feel special about their alt modes. To me it does feel a little cheap. If I had to choose. Long Haul (Wheeloader in this one) looks and plays the best. Though Hooks (Mobile crane -61) crane has a nice feel to it. I can assure you that if you do get this box set, I highly doubt you will keep them in alt mode. My full shoot is in my picassa page link located below the pic.  The vehicles modes, imo, are average at best.                                                   ...
