Shockwave Lab SL81 SL-81 Energy Sword for Siege Jetfire/Skyfire Netflix cartoon upgrade kit

It was inevitable that someone would release upgrades for the War for Cybertron show. Today we look at Siege Jetfire's energy sword. Without delay, let's get started!

I decided to actually get two blades for Jetfire. I know he only had one in the show, but the more the merrier. What can I say about the energy swords? It is a nice fit and add-on. Its done very well. You can get it for the time being in TFsafari.com or Ebay. I had to get it on Ebay and through a select few carriers. Not everyone ships to Hawaii for an odd reason. TFsafari doesn't either. It should run you roughly about $10 each blade or a little more. I got mines pretty much $13 for both. If you are a fan of the show or the Jetfire figure, this is a must have. 

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

                                                  



I finally end the Decepticon Earthrise seekers reviews. Are they worth it? Let's find out. Guest
starring the classic seekers.

Skywarp

 

 

 

 

 

Besides height, I love Skywarp's G1 look and colors on the ER version. Classics have this neon color going though I still fine with it. Weapons are inter-changable (for all 3 actually) though ER has difficulty grasping classic SW's weapon due to big forearms. Look at Starscream's pics for example. Classic SW's cockpit however seemed to be oxidizing. It looked very milky from my view. I guess it's all the part of aging I supposed. :/

Thundercracker

 

 

 

 


For the classics line, TC was my favorite of the trio. I like his dark blue here still though ER towers over him by a shoulder's length.


Starscream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ER SS looks lot more detailed and the vibrant colors are a win. I'm not sure but part of classic screamers back legs look as if they were yellowing. I kept it out of the sun but I guess its aging and good O2 that probably did it in. 

Final words from part I and II: 

ER seekers are your updated seekers for your classics line. At first I thought not much was going to differ, but the head sculpts and replay-ability is a whole lot better than the classics. The colors are very sharp and colorful. No waist swivel for both lines though one big improvement is the turning of the head. The head is easily adjustable without having to twist the nosecone which was found in the classic versions. My classic SW's head can't even turn at all. Speaking earlier of the head sculpts, It looks more like the tv show characters I grew up with. It's bigger of course allowing you to examine the fine details easier. The classic versions had this cheap feel in comparison. And it was smaller.

The only drawback on the ER versions I felt, without reading the manual that is, took me a while to figure how to stuff their hands in their chests when it came to jet mode. The classics are easier to fiddle with in this aspect. Anyhow, if you need seekers today, look no further and snatch the Target exclusives and Starscream ER... providing the scalpers haven't scalped everything yet. 

 

Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege Top 5 (The faves)

2019 was surprisingly a good year for Transformers WFC siege. Without haste, here is my top 5. These were the figures that stood out for me the best.

#5 Ratchet 

 

Perhaps this was the most exclusive of the figures to get of the entire Siege line. Him being able to transform into the medical bay plus him having a wrench/gun (repair) gave him the versatility of fighter and doctor. Despite being a remold of Siege Iron-hide, the mold worked best on Ratchet and a nice update to his G1 look.

#4 Refraktor

 

 

One of the most versatile figure of all the Decepticons. Then again, I wouldn't be too sure since I haven't opened up Brunt yet. But lots of replay value and very customizable. This guy was so amazing that Hastak decided to release a G1 toy colored version of him (the trio) and it came with more accessories giving him more of a definable camera look. 

#3 Ultra Magnus and Jetfire

 






This guy was a two in one.  City Commander at its finest.

 

Jetfire was a treat! I was hesitant in picking him up since I own so much Jetfires; 3 now to be exact. But this is Jetfire in all his G1 glory. Who wouldn't want to pick him up? Plays very nicely for a commander class figure.

#2 Shockwave

 

 

Now this guy is the epitome of Decepticon awesome-ness! One of the first Decepticon figures to be launched in this line and he came with array of customizations thanks to his armor. Use your imagination!

#1 Omega Supreme 

 

Total G1 awesomeness! The bigger the better and there is no bigger words to express how great this figure came out to be. This figure really makes you feel like a child again but with so many bells and whistles!

Final words: Maybe this isn't the most comprehensive list constructed; I have yet to open Sixgun, Chromia, Mirage, Impactor, Brunt and Springer as I made this list. Maybe I will update this list down the line when I finally open them all. I am probably going to get AstroTrain, Lancer and the Refraktor 3 pack somewhere down the road. But I personally feel that this list is good as it gets. Take care folks.
