Transformers Studio Series 86 -10 Sweeps x2 review Sweep 86 figure. Transformers Toys Studio Series 86-10 Voyager Class The The Movie 1986 Decepticon Sweep

 

Sweeps wanna have fun.

Aloha. Welcome to another 86 studio series review and today we look at Sweep x2! Let's get started!

Note: some of the pics came out soft. I need to do better when taking group shots.

Boxing

The back of the box makes no mention of whether the Sweeps were formerly Kickback and Shrapnel though the same reformat silhouette backdrop is used here as it once served 86 Scourge.

His Huntsman, the Sweeps. 

 The gun dilemma.... sorta. 

Scourge is the 1st pic here and he holds his rifle fine. Sweep #1 or 3, 4 or 7 has trouble pegging his gun all the way. It was so stiff that I didn't want to put to much pressure otherwise I probably might break his fingernails as some people previously had issues with their Scourge.

As you can see Scourge is a darker blue or purple for that matter. The Sweep is lighter or definitely more bluish looking. This Sweep was able to peg his gun under his fist ok but even on the other hand which is more open, he had difficulty. Also, in case if you haven't been told, Scourge has his closed fist on his right while his left hand sports his open fist. The Sweep has it reversed. 

Sweep#2, 5, or 6 if you care that much.

His weapon pegs in just fine.

Swapped out his weapon with the first Sweep (far right) and he has issues pegging his weapon fully.

Back to the first Sweep exchanging weapons with Scourge.  And guess what? His weapon dilemma is fixed! At this point I was really perplexed. He was able to grasp Scourge's weapon with ease and then when I plugged in his own weapon afterwards. He held his weapon just fine now. Although it is a slight, tight fit, the weapon pegged in all the way. Scourge is the leader after all. 

Their weapon blaster effects are the same though I can't help but feel Scourge's blaster effect is a little lighter purple. But I won't dwell on this too much. 

Scourge and the Sweeps 

For the most part, the Sweeps are a palette swap of Scourge and some differences like the hand placement. However, the Sweeps have tighter joints and less of a floppy wing than Scourge or at least the versions I have. 

I never thought I would troop build with this guy but it happened and here it is! Generations Scourge x2, United Scourge, Legends Scourge, Sweep headmasters x3, 86 Scourge, and 86 Sweep x2. 

Yes, I didn't forget about Galvatron and Cyclonus.

The G1 series mentioned there were 7 Sweeps. If you minus the headmasters here, I have seven here to be exact. Scourge being the 1st and the leader.

Alt modes

I managed to do the elevated head reveal gimmick. It does require you to extend the back panel in a raised manner. If you know how to transform Scourge, then the Sweeps are done in the same fashion. The only problem in this mode was my Sweeps had very loose turrets that would pop off every now and then. And it was kinda of chore to re-transform the B-52 Scourges since I haven't touched them in a while. I eventually figured it out but it took some time remembering. Legends Scourge was and still is a breeze.

Conclusion:

Well, I always liked 86 Scourge. Visually he is nice to look at and plays well. The Sweeps are no exception. It's just Scourge done in a lighter blue plus different hand positioning. I think my Sweep army is done. No more for me I say but as for the figures itself, get them to build your 86 army. 

I hope you’re listening!! Beautiful message!❤️

Happy 300th post! Till all are one! G1 Transformers tribute

 In memory of my pet dog Aiko: Sept 4, 2008 - Oct 13, 2021. Now in the loving care of Jesus Christ.

The Transformers 86 movie crew. 

Till all are one!

Nonnef Earthrise Sunstreaker upgrades and Nonnef Earthrise Smokescreen upgrades versus classic comparisons

 Earthrise Sunstreaker vs Henkei Sunstreaker (Team Sunstreaker)

Earthrise Smokescreen vs Universe Smokescreen (Team Smokescreen)

I think the ER versions are my definitive versions of both characters though the classic versions still have some redeeming qualities such as the nice mustard yellow of the Henkei Streaker and I dig the alt version of Smokescreen (also has the correct number). I'll let the pictures do the talking. Take care folks and Jesus loves you. 

Transformers Studio Series 86-09 voyager the movie Wreck-Gar review

 

Bah weep grannah weep nini bong! 

Aloha folks, today we look at Studio series Wreck-Gar 86 style! The Autobot that replaced Ratchet and Wheeljack in the 3rd season medic alongside First-Aid of the protectobots. Without delay, let's get started

Boxing

Your 86 style-like packaging. The backdrop is of the Junkion planet. Ironically, they are flying the Junkion ship without Wreck-Gar I guess. The back of the box explains Wreck-Gar and his Junkions become friends with the autobots after exchanging the universal greeting.

Wreck-Gar

    

Yup, you can toggle his chest guns or nipples as some sites call it.

This is my first time fudging with a Wreck-Gar figure despite me owning the RTS, United, and Junkheap figures (still sealed). In comparison, this version looks smooth and immaculate like his 86 screen appearance. One of the few autobots to sport red eyes which is usually a Decepticon feature. Technically, his spiked wheels is placed on his left side. However, you can place them where ever you see the individual red spike that sticks out of each of his limb. Some of the spikes on my wheels came with paint loss already. But I'm ok with it. Wreck-Gar plays nicely and has ankle tilts to further improve his posing. Probably needs a gun but I'm sure 3rd parties with rectify this action. Also, I can tell some of those gaps especially in the back of his forearms will irk some folks. I think as I write this, there are third parties on Ebay selling parts for those gaps. Additionally, if you look carefully, the back of his head forms the dash of the motorcycle (hence, the odometer). And last but not least, he does have a waist swivel. 

Alt mode

New improved Junkion cycle is sleek sexy import with turbo handling! Motorcycles are amazing! And Wreck-Gar is no exception. Fairly easy to transform and I'm simply amazed how this alt mode turned out. As you know, I'm not a big fan of alt modes too much, but maybe I love the fact you can put another Transformer on top of Wreck-Gar. The back of the calves form a lever to prevent the bike from tilting to the sides. However, the foot rest area is so low that it prevents the bike from toppling over completely. The handles of the bike is rubber and feels like it's gonna wear and tear down the road if you play it continuously. Ah, the joy's of playing with toys. 

Conclusion

Wreck-Gar checks in and he doesn't check out. He is here to stay so hurry, hurry and get him today. If you love motorcycle figures, then WG is a must have. A worthy purchase of the 86 line. No guarantees if he resist fire, rain, and corrosion for 5 years but satisfaction still guaranteed. Thank you and Jesus loves you.
