Transformers Review: Reveal The Shield Legends Class Optimus Prime

Hey guys!

It's been a while again.. haha!! 

I decided to review my pending Transformers figures since they're easier and faster to do.

This is part 1 of 4 of my Reveal the shield legend class figures. I honestly have no idea what "Reveal The Shield" is... hahaha!! All I know is that they have classic looks and that pretty much grabbed my attention to get these.

I got these figures from a friend I met in a forum, I was so surprised someone is selling these awesome figures MIB! For a pretty decent price and shipping fee I grabbed it with no second thoughts.

As I've said, I'm only sticking to G1 figures, anything related to that timeline. The only movie I'm interested in is DOTM.. I'll talk about that in another review :3

Let's begin with the Autobot Leader Optimus Prime!

Transformers Review: Henkei Transformers: Rodimus Prime

First of all, I know in my previous post I said that I'll be doing the revoltech figures first but I went with this one becuase it's faster and the figure is really awesome that I wanna share it with you guys XD

Second, I'm not sure if the title is correct XD I can't read Japanese but I do know that the figure is under the Henkei line released by Takara some time ago.

Anyway...........

Henkei is the counterpart of the Classics lien under Hasbro :D Most people like the Henkei version due to its TV accurate colors but Takara doesn't sell their figures cheap so others buy Hasbro because it's price friendly :D

*Note: Henkei is japanese for transform :D*

I saw this figure while I was paying for my gunpla kit (you'll know soon what it is soon :3) and decided to buy it as well since it's the best version of Rodimus in the Deluxe class.. In my opinion of course :D

I never really knew Rodimus until I stumbled upon him while searching for a revoltech starscream, from there, I researched him and he instantly became my favorite autobot and might be the only one I really like from their side XD

So let's begin!

Packaging:

I gotta say, Takara knows how to make their products attractive XD I really love their packagings, it has that vintage look to it :3

Transformers Review: Transformers Generations Deluxe Class: Thundercracker

Read my last review while you're at it :D

Welcome back! well, that's if you really did click the link but anyway, let's begin!

Packaging:

I love the packaging of this figure. Simple but it really gets your attention. You get to see how menacing Thundercracker is :D

Transformers Review: Transformers Generations Legend Class: Thundercracker

Hey guys!

I bet no one saw this coming, a Transformers review! 

It's my first Transformers figure in years, and I really mean yeeeaaaaaaaars...

Believe it or not, I'm a huge a Transformers fan, the old school version at least. I like the Michael Bay movies but it's not something I would watch over and over again.. 

It was just mostly special effects anyway and the robots look really complex and far from their original designs. Sure it's to advertise cars and modernizing things but meh.. Nothing beats the classics.

That's why my "growing" TF collection would be mostly likely designs from G1 and G2.. For now :D I do want to collect the Masterpiece series but they're helluva expensive so I might just pick the ones I really really like.

To start my collection, I present Thundercracker! One of the original Seeker jets! I saw this guy at a local toy store and not the hobby store I usually go to. I wanted to check the prices in a usual toy store first then compare it to my favorite hobby store. While browsing, I saw this guy and immediately fell in love XD 

It's like the nostalgia pulled me towards it. I saw it from a far and having doubts if I should buy it.. It was on sale after all XD  

Let's get it on with the review!

*I might have a different format for TF reviews than my usual Gunpla reviews*

Packaging:

This figure is brought to us by Hasbro, and long running toy company. I don't really know the difference between Hasbro and Takara versions XD

This is a Legends class, which means it's a pretty small figure but can still do the Transformation no problem :D 

I dunno why he's not packed properly, because one of his guns is not positioned properly XD I searched the net, and they're all packed that way :))

It has the usual warning signs and the level of difficulty for transforming this guy, in this case, it's level 2 which is fairly easy that you don't even need instructions but they still included them :D

Overall nice packaging for something so small.

Revoltech Yamaguchi Review: Hot Rodimus

Hey guys!

I'ts been a while since I've gotten a new revoltech... I was so focused on getting the gundams I wanted that forgot about revoltech XD

Anyway, most of us grew up with the Transformers, the classic robot aliens that transforms into your everyday vehicle. I remember looking for the channel that shows this series when I was a kid. Transformers is one of those things that pops to mind when you say "mecha" or robots in a conversation. 

I only knew the G1 & G2 series, from there I jumped to Beast Wars without knowing that I'm missing a lot. I don't really remember seeing the succeeding series being aired in my country.. 

My dad bought me a lot of transformers before.. Thinking back now, I really wish I was taking care of my toys :( 

Aside from Transformers, there were also a lot of awesome shows being shown that time like the original power rangers and various sentai series, Masked Rider, He-Man, Thundercats and the list goes on...

These series' are already icons of our generation, people will always say "nothing beats the classics" and it's pretty damn true. I mean, when I first saw the Transformers movie by Michael Bay I was so stoked and filled with excitement. After watching it, I can't get over what I just saw. Then the sequels came.. from there.. I noticed how crappy the modern designs are :/  

Nothing really beats the classics... That's why when I decided to collect transformers again.. I want to stick to the classic designs only... I might take a break from gunpla or not do it as often as before. I still love gundams though, I still have a list of "to buy kits" haha

Anywaaaaaaaaaay...... Let's get to the review, the reason why I'm posting this in the first place :D

On my post yesterday, I said that I was initially suppose to get Starscream from Great Toys but due to a turn of events, I ended up with Hot Rod which is also good ;D I'm still waiting for Starscream though :3

Let's begin for real :D

Box art:

If you're wondering why the box looks thrashed.. I have no idea as well XD I was helping the one of the staff to look for Starscream.. To my my demise, I was about to leave when the lady said "Hot Rodimus" I immediately looked back to see how it looks like.. When I pulled it out of the shelf I was so surprised to see the box like this XD Good thing the figure inside is not damaged ;D Also, because of this I got it for a really cheap price hehehe >:D

Hot Rod is one of the earliest releases of Yamaguchi, numbered 47, he's next to starscream. The box is very simple unlike the newer ones or the book types but nonetheless this still shows some charm. They actually look good in person :D

Sneak Peek Revoltech Review: Hot Rodimus

Hey guys!

Now that I've secured a nice paying job, I now have a source of icome :D From there I decided to get this guy :D


                                         

I was suppose to get Starscream but there was a misunderstanding in Great Toys, where I buy most of my stuff :D Apparently, they don't have Starscream in stock :( 

I was about to go when I saw this guy :D It was like a holy grail XD I know it's weird to buy a transformers character that doesn't transform but I got him for the articulation :D I've rekindled my love for Transformers :) It was ages since I held one.. I lost all my transformers when I was a kid due to moving from house to house a lot :/ *sigh* 

This guy will be the start of my Transformers section :D I don't plan to collect a huge amount.. Only a selected few.. I don't really appreciate the Movie versions.. I only love the Generation's 1, 2 and Armada... Besides, I only have love for Starscream, Hot Rod, Sideswipe and Jet fire. So maybe I'll focus on those characters :D

Stay tuned for the review \m/
