Been busy - Sky Lynx on vacation, Outfield Winning it all Tribute

 Lots to review but been busy and sometimes too tired to do anything. I was in Waikiki for a staycation a few weeks earlier so some pics of Sky-Lynx (Earthrise) should keep your attention for now. Just found out that Tony Lewis from the band Outfield had passed away. I didn't know this group so well, but they were famous, imo, due to having the official ending song: "Winning it all" in the NBA finals circa 92-96 each year. So here's the song for those who interested to know. Those were the cool NBA days.

Shockwave Lab SL81 SL-81 Energy Sword for Siege Jetfire/Skyfire Netflix cartoon upgrade kit




It was inevitable that someone would release upgrades for the War for Cybertron show. Today we look at Siege Jetfire's energy sword. Without delay, let's get started!



















I decided to actually get two blades for Jetfire. I know he only had one in the show, but the more the merrier. What can I say about the energy swords? It is a nice fit and add-on. Its done very well. You can get it for the time being in TFsafari.com or Ebay. I had to get it on Ebay and through a select few carriers. Not everyone ships to Hawaii for an odd reason. TFsafari doesn't either. It should run you roughly about $10 each blade or a little more. I got mines pretty much $13 for both. If you are a fan of the show or the Jetfire figure, this is a must have.

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

 

                                                       

Today we have comparisons and final impressions of the Amazon Exclusives. The classic and original trio seeker comparisons will be analyzed here. Let's get started.

With the classic versions. 

































They can exchange each others weapons. I do like Classic Dirge's colors and the stickers that came with it. Though I called the ER coneheads bland, they do look like a better improvement in comparison to the classics. The classics are more easier to transform though. ER is the way to go if you still need the coneheads. 

With the Seeker Trio




























Based off of the SS mold. There are some differences such as wings, head, longer knees, and the chest area (rectangular vent and turbine). The nosecone for the original seekers are actually longer than that of the coneheads. Besides this, I don't have much to say here but the coneheads are here to complete your seeker team. One more Seeker to be released.

Final word:

A nice improvement over the classics but nothing that expresses wow though. They are exclusives so they are sought after and hard to find now. They are easy to fiddle with overall and play/transform the same as the original trio seeker. I shall leave it here. Thrust is coming soon I hope, so I can complete the conehead trio.
