Here's my review of the new Transformers Masterpiece MP-24 Star Saber! I didn't expect it to run so long at 45 minutes, so I have rambled a little bit LOL!! But there were a lot of different things to go through with the figure.

I still don't love the figure like I do the other MPs, purely because of my lack of nostalgia towards the character. But overall, it's still a pretty decent addition to the MP ranks.

Hope you can check out my review, subscribe, like, and comment with your thoughts on this Autobot Commander

Here's my quick look at the recent TF Combiner Wars Armada Megatron! I think this ranks up their with the MP-10 Optimus Evangelion crossover for being so ugly it's pretty nice lol!! Definitely an acquired taste!

Hope you can check it out, subscribe, like, and comment with your thoughts on this weird repaint

Here's my review of these pretty disappointing 3rd party figures by Ark Studio! I incorrectly thought they were MP sized, but these are small, and the quality isnt even up to par with the Combiner Wars Legends figures!

It's the first week of April, so time for my quarterly collection update vid!

Had all sorts come in over the past 3 months, with MP and CW Transformers, 1/6th scale figures from Hot Toys and Sideshow, and the odd smaller scale figure and statue too.

Hope you can check out the update, subscribe, like, and stay tuned for all the upcoming reviews in Quarter 2

Here's my review of the Combiner Wars Warpath figure. Not too bad overall. Would've preferred the turret on his chest in bot mode though.

Gaahh!! Uploaded all 4 reviews of the new Combiner Wars Deluxe Protectobots, but YouTube only processed two of them. So Rook and Streetwise will have to come later now.

In the mean time, here's my review of First Aid, the retool of the previous wave's Offroad. Pretty nice retool over all. Hope you can check it out!

In the mean time, here's my review of Blades, the retool of the previous wave's Alpha Bravo. Pretty nice retool over all. Hope you can check it out!

YouTube decided to play nice, so here's my review of the new Combiner Wars Protectobot Rook. I have to say I was skeptical about the new team member, but I think I actually like him the most out of the team!

Great new mold to be honest! Hope you can check out the video

Here's the last review in the new wave of Combiner Wars Deluxe figures with Streetwise. It's a heavy retool of the previous Dead End, but still looks pretty good. Hope you can check out the video

Here's Defensor with his mate Superion. I gotta say, he is so much better than Menasor! The Stunticon was just all wrong in terms of body proportions, but Defensor and Superion are pretty damn good!

Hotspot and Defensor review is uploading now, so stay tuned

Here's my review of the final Protectobot with Hot Spot, and the combined Defensor. Definitely an improvement over Menasor, and looks great with Superion. Hope you can check out the review

Here's my video review on the CW Cyclonus. Not a bad retool of Silverbolt, but for some reason I'm just a little underwhelmed by it. And the Galvatronus mode still baffles me as to the backstory on that guy!

Here's my review of the new Combiner Wars Leader class Thundercracker. I'm rather disappointed to be honest, especially after thinking the previous wave's Megatron was pretty decent!

It's been a while since I've done a retrospective look back at one of my original G1 Transformers. So with lots of collectors now getting their 3rd party not-Megatron (aka Apollyon), I figured it was time for me to give my thoughts on the old Megatron figure.

Even after 40 odd years since it was designed, it's still a pretty awesome figure! Hope you can check out my vid and give your thoughts too

Here's my review of the CW Ultra Magnus. Great figure by Hasbro this time, and one of my favs in the line so far!

Work is really busy again, but will try to unbox and review this awesome haul from Robotkingdom this week!!

News Credits: 3 · by **koolkollectibleskhai** » Mon Jul 06, 2015 11:02 am

For the individual bots, I'd say the Hasbro and Takara versions are pretty much on par except for Silverbolt where I do prefer the Takara.

But in combined mode, there is no question at all that the Takara is the better option. Looks bloody nice!!

Stay tuned for full video comparison uploading now on the YouTube channel!
