Toy Review: Transformers Power of the Primes Beachcomber.

Welcome to the very first March 2018 Transformer review! Today is none other than Beachcomber.
Well, let's get started!

Boxing

 

 

Standard scout class and box-art for a Hasbro release. I didn't take his trading card out of the package but you can still see through it. Megatronus is supposed to be BeachComber's partner in alt mode but I don't have him. And quite frankly, I probably won't be getting him.

Robot mode

 

 

 

 

Wow. I'm amazed. Looks great, feels great, and plays great. Everything is great so far. Looks like a good representation of G1 Beachcomber so far. Joints are tight and BC can pose very decently.

Toy Review: Transformers Power of the Primes Windcharger!

Hello! Today, other than the usual Legends review, we are taking a break from that line to review the current Power of the Primes toyline. For those who are fresh to the POTP line, Hasbro and Takara are now merging their toylines into one aka unification. So if you get the Takara version now, it is going to be the same exact figure as Hasbro. So to ease my wallet, I went to my nearest Target and snatched up POTP Windcharger. How he is? Well, let's get started!

Boxing and contents

 

 

POTP Windcharger comes in a scout size so don't expect too much replayability like his deluxe or Voyager brethrens. Boxing is nice and contents just include his instruction manual (once again I refuse to look at it) and a bio card. 

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG55 Slugslinger and Caliburst Targetmaster.

Hiya folks, I'm back with another Legends edition of Takara Tomy Transformers LG55 Slugslinger and Caliburst; 2nd of the 5 transformers my sister bought for me from Tokyo. Without haste, let's get started!

Boxing and packaging

 

 

 

Destron and Decepticon merged into one?

Awesome Boxart and packing from Takara like usual. You have an mis-spelling error on his manual, his faction name is spelled "Desepticon." The comic included actually involves Spike being the bad guy; not sure why but he is. Slugslinger incapacitates some autobots including his buddies Misfire and Trigger happy. It is up to 3 of the girls to save them all. In doing so they are nearly rendered naked again (yup, a recurring theme in the legends comics). They save the day and here is the link for the synopsis:

Toy Review: Transformers Takara Tomy Legends LG40 Astrotrain triple changer!

                                                                


Hello, hello, and hello! I've been busy with work and resting as much as I can, but I also wanted to take this opportunity to open up some of the figures my sister bought for me. In today is Legends Astrotrain, the triple-changer! Without delay, let's get started!

Boxing and contents

 

 

 

 

Legends Astrotrain LG40 comic sypnosis

Well, nice lookin artwork plus a funny comic till you reach the end part. I was chuckling for a bit to find poor Astrotrain maintaining a failing cargo transport company until he had a sinister plan towards the end. Anyhow, click on the link above to read the translation.

Warning: I made another blunder. I forgot that Astrotrain's robot mode had shoulder tabs so most of the shoot was missing the tabs.

Shuttle mode plus head master

 

 

 

 

 

 

Astrotrain's headmaster is a smaller version of himself basically. This is the default mode you get out of the box before you can transform him to his two other modes. The shuttle mode was ok. It was nice they painted the cockpit windows but to me this mode felt more like a space ship. There are some peg holes for you to just randomly place weapons. I have some example in the above pics. You can use mini-astrotrain to pretend as he is strafing his opponent. Not bad of a mode.

Transformers Legends update

Since the Legends line is coming towards an end, my sister who came back from Tokyo, got me these goodies!

Clockwise from top: ( Perceptor, Autobot Clones: Fastlane and Cloudraker, Blitzwing, Astrotrain, and Slugslinger)

I hope to open them up soon and review them. One day healing at a time. Jesus is awesome, see you later and TY folks. 

Toy Review! Transformers Classics: Universe Smokescreen

At long last, I finally decide to let Smokescreen out of his cage...after 8 years to be exact! Without further delay, let's get started!

Boxing

Taken at 2010. Lol!

Creased at upper right.

 

Well, I was cleaning my room and found that the box was creased. I decided why not let him out already? Comes with an instruction manual. Was pretty cool for its time.

Alt mode guest starring Universe Prowl and Henkei Streak (Silverstreak or Bluestreak)

 

 

 

How I went about on getting Universe Smokescreen was that I prefered his dark blue colors over the light blue the Henkei version had. Plus Universe Smokescreen was only $10 at the time. However, the Henkei version is more consistent on his paint scheme and more G1 anime accurate. The Universe one is just colors everywhere it feels. It's the same mold as Universe Prowl and Henkei Streak so hope you enjoy the comparisons. For an odd reason, I had trouble putting their weapons underneath their car bellys. I just couldn't seem to put them on. Though Hasbro is famous for not painting their rims, I liked how Hasbro just out of the blue decided to paint SS's wheels bronze. Nice!
