Transformers Mechanic Studios MS-16 Rocke (Not-Gears) quick review

Season 1 Ark Autobots complete! At long last, the missing puzzle is found and that is Rocke- Not Gears. Without further delay, let's get started!

Boxing

 

 

 

 

The box art also features not- Swerve or Spiale. The box art makes it look as if he comes with Rocke but he doesn't. To make sure you get the right figure, you look at the bottom of the box and if the white box is check next to the corresponding color, then you got that figure. In this case, blue = Rocke and red = Spiale. Rocke also comes with a blue bomber. Not Megaman but I decide to call him that for this review.

In the robot flesh. Rocke looks like his G1 incarnation. The colors and looks are really impressive. However, he feels blocky for the most part and despite having a head swivel, his shoulder arms get in the way from time to time. His hands are connected to his forearm despite having elbows to give him some posability. He ends up getting dual pistols, one from what I heard is supposed to be Spiales, but you get both. The weapons on my figure though does not peg in completely. Bummer.

Transformers War for Cybertron Siege WFC-S20 Chromia quick review

Hola! Once again Happy New Year folks and we kick it off with Chromia! Without further delay, let's get started!

Lobbying a Grenade

 

Well, I tried.

Anyhow, Chromia is a remold of Novastar, Lancer, Greenlight, and Moonracer. Of course she sports a different head and windshield; its long in fact. Like the others previously mentioned, she has the heavy kibble in her back that causes some problems for posing. If you like the mold, then Chromia plays nicely. I don't know if it was my figure or not, but she can't seem to hold her weapon well on her right hand. The left holds it just nicely. You can use her grenades to extend her weapon or put it all over the other pegs/holes of her. Use your imagination once again.

Alt mode

 

 

 

Chromia in vehicle mode. Like I said, you can extend her weapon to anyway you please. Very easy to transform especially if you are used to the Moonracer mold. Not to mention, it's like you've been playing this figure for the 5th time. Lancer would be the 6 when I finally complete Elita Infinite.

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.
