Transformers Legends Arcee LG10 Takara Tomy Review!

 

"No, you'd better stay close to me"
                             - Arcee after saving Hot Rod and Daniel in "Transformers the Movie" (1986)


At long last, an official Arcee from Hastak have been released. Was she worth the wait? Is she worth the money? Find out in this review.

 Arcee Box and contents

 

 

 

 

Don't let the pics fool you, Arcee's box is pretty small. When I receive this through the mail, I thought the seller on Ebay duped me by mailing me only the figure for the box was very small and light. As I opened it, alas, no disappointment. The box is only half the size of a Hasbro Generations packaging. The figure also comes with a fold up manual that displays her statistics, portrait, transformation instructions, and a two page manga. I uploaded the Manga here for any Japanese readers. If anyone could translate it for me, that be awesome. As for now lets get to....

Transformers Generations Legends Tailgate and Groundbreaker!

Well, this is part 3 of 3 for the minibots. Last but not least, Tailgate and Groundbreaker! I ordered this guy on Amazon, and when you least expect it, they gave me the damaged (creased) casing. At least the toy wasn't damaged. Lucky I guess.

 

Transformers Generations Legends Swerve and Flanker!

 

Next up: Swerve and Flanker! Once again no idea who is the latter. And to save time, he is pretty much a triple changer like Payload: Robot mode, Alt mode, and gun. Had to get Swerve because he did appear in two episodes briefly in season 3 of G1. Yes, two episodes only! Yeesh! Trust me, it only gets worse from here. What I'd mean? Find out when I review Tailgate next time! Without further delay, here is Swerve out of the box... with Flanker of course.

Transformers Generations Legends Cosmos with Payload!

Finally got around to shooting more figures.I had been busy with work this whole time. I decided next on my hit/shoot list was the minibots Cosmos, Swerve, and Tailgate. I picked up Cosmos and Swerve a while back and was on the fence with Tailgate till I decided to pick the latter up because he was G1 after all. Cosmos is the focus for this article and I will do Swerve and Tailgate shortly. Forgive me but a lot of dust accumulated on the set during this shoot. Without further delay, Let's get started!

Packaging on all 3:

Tailgate, Swerve, and Cosmos

 

Tailgate's package came damaged so I think twice to buy TF figures from Amazon again.

Transformers United Drift UN-08 Review! (2011)

At long last, I finally decided to open up Transformers United Autobot Drift! Drift also marks the 1st actual TF figure I bought that is not of G1 cartoon continuity. He exists solely as a G1 IDW character. However, that wasn't what got me to buy this figure whose mold eventually led to the creation of Generations Blurr whom I retrospectively reviewed a few weeks back. I got Drift, because long story cut short, was a former Decepticon (named Deadlock) who one day went by a samurai code and abandon the ranks of the Decepticon only to find himself joining the Autobots short after. I thought this was amazing for a Decepticon to turn a new leaf and do good. Enough of that and let's get started.

 

Transformers Retrospective finale part III! Transformers Generatons, Henkei, Universe, Reveal the Shield, United, and Third party TF.

(1st row above: Generations Wheeljack and United Tracks. I shot them a 2nd time because I didn't lift their wings in robot mode properly at that time.)

So this is the finale of the pics I took in the past. I have no time to make retrospective posts about them anymore so I'll post the pics as a pictorial review. I will do my best to review figures that I haven't opened yet.

Transformers Retrospective finale part II! Transformers Generatons, Henkei, Universe, Reveal the Shield, United, and Third party TF.

Part II. Once again, I'm only focusing on blogging the figures that I haven't opened yet. I took these photos long ago and there is just too much for me to go back into writing. I still have a part III which is the final coming up.

 (First row: First pic: Thundercracker(blue), Skywarp (black), Starscream (red and white), Acid Storm (Green))

Transformers Retrospective finale part I! Transformers Generatons, Henkei, Universe, Reveal the Shield, United, and Third party TF.

Decided to just post pics. Too much to go back into the past. Will focus on the figures that I freshly open and, hopefully, the upcoming Combiner Wars. Mahalos and take care!

Transformers Retrospective look: Generations Blurr (2010)

I was on the fence whether to get Blurr or not since he didn't look like his G1 counterpart: both robot and vehicle mold. At this point, I was even contemplating quitting collecting. Then I found out that this mold was based off a G1 comic book based character named Drift. Not to mention, this version of Blurr was, in fact, G1-inspired taken directly off of the popular IDW comics. Without much hesitation, I decided to pick him up. Snagged him at Target at the time for $12.

 

Hiking with God in Oahu: Lanikai Pillbox hike 12/28/14

Finally did the Pillboxes with my friend (just a friend, mmkay?) Let the pics do the talking. Happy New Year folks! God Bless from Hawaii.


Remember that:

Philippians 4:13 (KJV)

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Merry Christmas folks and a Happy New Year!

Play it safe folks. Here are some pics from Honolulu City lights for the ending year 2014 leading to year 2015. God Bless folks.

TFC-004 Gear of War Transformers Accessory Set for Mirage, Inferno, Sideswipe

Took me long enough to open and utilize these. For those new to the TF classics hobby, fans felt that figures like Inferno, Sideswipe, Red Alert, Mirage, and Soundwave was missing some trademark weapons. TFC catered to fan demand and created add ons such as Red Alert/Sideswipe's missile launchers, Inferno's ladder and arm cannon, Mirage's shoulder rocket and invisibility box, and an extra minion for Soundwave. The weapons were intended to be used for the Henkei versions due to the chrome/metallic properties, but they work fine with the Hasbro versions as well. The results.... well, see for yourself.

 

 

Box is box. Nice prologue on what's stored for the collector as he opens the toy box. On the last pic: (L to R) Mirage's invisibility box, instructions (poster in the other side), Inferno's Arm Canon/Ladder, 3 missile launchers, and Soundwave's Auto-scout plus 4 energon crystals.
