Transformers War for Cybertron Siege S8 Cog review

Aloha folks, I'm back to give you another WFC review: Cog! Without further delay, let's get started!

Warning: Pics didn't come out great once again. If you zoom in, the focus is a little blurry in half the pics. I tried doing the shoot in a different area with different lighting this time. So remember folks, lighting is the key.

This should be fun. Cog is only G1 related mainly due to the comics. As a character, he serves as a drone bot for Fortress Maximus. The reason why I got him is because, well, everyone was getting him and I couldn't pass him up for $10. As you can see from the back of the box, Cog splits into multiple weapons for another TF. In this case, it's WFC Sideswipe. He can also break into two parts for his vehicle mode.

Battle Damage

 

Nice figure right out of the box. He is a bot comprised of multiple parts. Unlike, previous TF figures, Cog's limbs are removable to either form weapons or drone parts. My only gripe here is that his right hand couldn't seem to peg weapons too well. It felt slippery for the most part. Continuing on the TF tradition, Cog sports battle damage on the inner side of his knees and some parts of both his forearms. Not too shabby.

The results and possibilities are endless! I spent the most time for Cog in this category. This part makes Cog the ultimate weapon.  The black rifles had trouble this time pegging on his left hand. Very odd. Unfortunately, I don't have a Fort Max figure so I couldn't pair the duo together.  I don't know much about this part but for more info and name of each component, go to:

Vehicle mode

 

 

Overkill

Overkill 2

Cog can form into one elongated drone tank or split into two. Very easy to get to on this part since you already, for the most part, was using him as split weaponry. I honestly didn't care much for this part, but since he is a TF, this was an obligatory transformation mode.

Conclusion:

Cog is very fun to play around with. Lots of replayability since you can try pairing him up with other TF which hopefully I will get to for my upcoming reviews. Get him while you can. Cog works fine as either a TF or and accessory.  Ciao!

Transformers War for Cybertron Siege S7 Sideswipe review

                                           

 
Aloha folks, it has been a long time since I've posted a Transformer review. Today we kick start the New Year with WFC Siege Sideswipe! Yeah, of all the legends and old figures that I still need to open and review, I just decided to go with the latest toyline. Once again, Takara and Hasbro has merged into one so whether you buy one or the other, it is the same figure with the same paintjob, tweaks, and all. I shot some of these photos using the shutter speed option time around. The results: a mix bag for me. Forgive me for some of the blurry shots. Still learning and I guess I do need to have a better setup overall. Anyhow, let's get started.

Boxing:

 

 

 

Neat little packaging with the instructions it comes with. You get to see some of the upcoming characters displayed on the side of the box. Also advertised is the battle master figures you can use as an extra gun with blast effects which puts them on my want list. In this category, I'm probably anticipating Chromia since I never got her Legends figure.

Robot mode:

 

 

 

 

 

Merry Christmas folks!

Thank you Jesus for a great year. Have my struggles of ups and downs but the Lord Jesus came through all the way.  Happy Jesus day folks!

 

 

 

 




Honolulu City Lights 2018! Take care for now folks.

More free food! Thank you Jesus!

Multnomah Falls

 

 

 

It's been 8 years since I've seen the falls! This time me and Gary just did the lower portion of the falls. We never made it to the top since Gary was feeling under the weather.  It was all good since Gary had a flight to catch later on.

Pittock Mansion

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello? Anybody hoooome?

Me and Gary did the tour.  It is the home to Henry and Georgiana Pittock. The home was damaged by a storm in the 60's, so majority of the house is re-decorated and restored by the city of Portland. The house is very nice and you also get to see a wide view of the city of Portland.
