Terence Ho since 1981(The Last Ronin)

 Another dreadful year of higher up control. But let's recap this year of my favorite Kingdom, 86 Studio series, and whatever figures I opened up this year. This year was a little different due to the fact Kingdom consisted mainly of Beast wars figures (I'm not into BW), so to make a top 5 out of that category was going to be fairly slim and difficult. Same for the 86 line since I didn't get everyone. I do have a Sharkticon 86 review but he will have to settle for a 2022 post and possibly a re-edit "best of" post if the character warrants such a change.  Transformers Kingdom Inferno The mold was made for him. Colors are vibrant. He looks good and plays well overall. An improvement over Grapple.  86 Studio Series Grimlock Sweep Grimlock is a 86 masterpiece done well plus Sweep whose lighter colors doesn't detract any value from the original Scourge figure. In fact, the wings are tightened and not loose as in comparison to Scourge. Despite being a repaint of Sco...

 Earthrise Sunstreaker vs Henkei Sunstreaker (Team Sunstreaker) Earthrise Smokescreen vs Universe Smokescreen (Team Smokescreen) I think the ER versions are my definitive versions of both characters though the classic versions still have some redeeming qualities such as the nice mustard yellow of the Henkei Streaker and I dig the alt version of Smokescreen (also has the correct number). I'll let the pictures do the talking. Take care folks and Jesus loves you. 

 Today I just pick my War for Cybertron: Earthrise top figures. Like Siege, there were a couple figures I still haven't opened so my list may be updated down the line. This is only on the figures I've opened, played and examined thus far. Without delay, let's get started! Trailbreaker Bluestreak, Smokescreen, Prowl. Thundercracker, Skywarp, Starscream Ironhide and Ratchet Runabout and Runamuck. For once I'm going to say there is no order for the most part in whom I liked better. I was really wowed by the Siege line after a fairly average Power of the Primes line. I really had difficulty picking someone I really liked in this line. I had an easy time with Siege however.  I guess what made this list a bit intriguing is that half of the guys on this list were exclusives.  What was also striking was that I liked most of these guys halfway through the season. I remember not caring too much when we initially got Cliffjumper, Hoist, and Wheeljack etc... They were great figures...

  You should know that the government has an Agenda and it's not saving lives. At long last, the Autobot Alliance 2 pack arrives! Without delay, let's get started! Boxing and packaging This is your packaging? Included is the map piece. No instructions used here.  Ironhide and Prowl robot mode Ironhide Prowl Prowl has the ports to place shoulder cannons but no shoulder cannons was packaged with his figure. Iron-hide has his G1 looking windshield and he comes packaged with a small blaster and surfboard err... shield. Though he can make use of it as a surfboard. His shield also has some mini cannons stacked in one end. It's a nice little add-on and it has some decent replayability and photo-op. Sadly, this is the feature that has torn up some of the TF community known as "Part formers." I'm ok with it though. You can plug it behind his back but it does look like he is wearing a trench coat or something. Iron-hide is a retool/remold of his Siege version.  Prowl is...
