Terence Ho since 1981(The Last Ronin)

 Today we look at some Earthrise figures and how they evolved, or perhaps, de-evolve against their classics counterparts. Let's get started. Earthrise Thrust vs Generations Thrust Probably the best comparison would had been Henkei Thrust vs ER Thrust due to their similar burgandy color scheme. However, I didn't mind the maroon color scheme on the generations version for the longest time. Their weapons are exchangeable for the most part. Even the turbines which can be removed on the generations model can be used on the ER version. Too bad we couldn't remove it in the ER version. I think overall, the ER version is the Thrust you want these days. He looks more better and plays better overall.  ER Prowl and Bluestreak vs Classics Prowl and Bluestreak I'm kinda torn in this one. I think the ER versions have the edge when it comes to robot mode. The aesthetics are marvelous. However, in alt mode, the classics are a thing of beauty despite them unable to use weapons on their s...

When I first got him out of the box, one of his turbine wings popped off though it was easily put back in. He does have differences which I will get to in the comparisons later on. No waist swivel though his joints are pretty tight. He can also do some decent posing as well. His null rays can come...
