Transformers Earthrise Dirge and Ramjet Amazon Exclusive! Part I of II

 

                                                          

Well, Amazon came through with an exclusive. Was definitely easier to obtain than Target's exclusive.

First off, a minor complaint that lots of TF fans shared.

Amazon decided to skip out on the boxing. They have this new check off box on whether you want it in the delivery box or not now. It's really dumb. Like some folks said, the rich just got richer. Not to mention the bottom of the toy box wasn't sealed. Lucky thing the figures were ok. With some low heat blow drying the labels came out but still....

Boxing and contents... like usual

I included their WFC location card though I'm not into that. 

Standing tall

Straight off the Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp mold albeit the head changes and wing differences. Their null rays are straight up black colored. They look okay but I really dig how the original trio looks better with this mold. I'm just not really feeling their robot modes. Nice to have but that is that.

Alt mode

This mode shines really well due to the variance of the wings from the raptor mold from the original seekers. I always liked Ramjet's small wings, it really made this alt mode stand out despite it being miniature size in comparison to the others. Dirge's wings are different as the edges flap up; another cool deviation from the original raptor wings. His surface wing design is very delightful looking as well. He is missing some reprolabels such as his stripes in this mode. Like robot mode, peg the weapons in any way you see fit. They originally fit under the wings but to each his/her own.

That is it for now. Part II will conclude this review and will feature comparisons to the original seeker trio plus the smaller, deluxe classic modes. Toodles.

THE CDC LIED TO YOU!!!

Liked I said. If somebody had COPD but died of a cardiac arrest, are you gonna label it as COPD? Please people, wake up! Nobody locks the entire nation or world down because of a virus! look up the history of viruses. Many people died and never once we locked anyone up. Wake up once again!

Transformers War for Cybertron Earthrise WFC-E9 & E29 Starscream and Thundercracker/Skywarp Target exclusive review! Part II of II

                                                  



I finally end the Decepticon Earthrise seekers reviews. Are they worth it? Let's find out. Guest
starring the classic seekers.

Skywarp

 

 

 

 

 

Besides height, I love Skywarp's G1 look and colors on the ER version. Classics have this neon color going though I still fine with it. Weapons are inter-changable (for all 3 actually) though ER has difficulty grasping classic SW's weapon due to big forearms. Look at Starscream's pics for example. Classic SW's cockpit however seemed to be oxidizing. It looked very milky from my view. I guess it's all the part of aging I supposed. :/

Thundercracker

 

 

 

 


For the classics line, TC was my favorite of the trio. I like his dark blue here still though ER towers over him by a shoulder's length.


Starscream

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ER SS looks lot more detailed and the vibrant colors are a win. I'm not sure but part of classic screamers back legs look as if they were yellowing. I kept it out of the sun but I guess its aging and good O2 that probably did it in. 

Final words from part I and II: 

ER seekers are your updated seekers for your classics line. At first I thought not much was going to differ, but the head sculpts and replay-ability is a whole lot better than the classics. The colors are very sharp and colorful. No waist swivel for both lines though one big improvement is the turning of the head. The head is easily adjustable without having to twist the nosecone which was found in the classic versions. My classic SW's head can't even turn at all. Speaking earlier of the head sculpts, It looks more like the tv show characters I grew up with. It's bigger of course allowing you to examine the fine details easier. The classic versions had this cheap feel in comparison. And it was smaller.

The only drawback on the ER versions I felt, without reading the manual that is, took me a while to figure how to stuff their hands in their chests when it came to jet mode. The classics are easier to fiddle with in this aspect. Anyhow, if you need seekers today, look no further and snatch the Target exclusives and Starscream ER... providing the scalpers haven't scalped everything yet.
