This year has been a relatively big year for Transformers, especially given the lack of a movie or a well advertised cartoon. And yet, we've gotten some of the best comics and action figures since, in my opinion, the days of Transformers: Animated. So now I'm going to take a quick look at my Top 10 Transformers for this year. Let's take a look!
Like a month later, I'm finally getting around to writing another review, and taking pictures for the next lot. I'm also scrapping the whole 'Reviews Thursday' thing, because that's not been working out. At all. So I'll just put up a review whenever suits. What was I talking about again? Oh yeah - Robots in Disguise legion Fix-It
What's it been now, two weeks? Whoops. Sorry about that, but life kept me busy, and I didn't have the chance to write up reviews. But, I'm back now, and tonight I'm talking about the leader of the Protectobots, Hot Spot. This figure has been called the best voyager figure of the line by many, so let's see if he lives up to that hype
In the original Generation One cartoon, Cosmos never really did a whole lot of anything bar fly about in space and occasionally crash into whatever planet lay beneath him. But, as of late, he's been given a bit of a spotlight in the IDW comics, and he's proven to be an interesting character, so today I've decided to look at his most recent figure
Godzilla has been a staple figure in kaiju lore and media since he first appeared on the big screen in 1954. Since then, his many forms have been replicated in toy form by many companies. As of late, NECA have been trying their hand at the king of monsters, having already gotten some practice with their Pacific Rim line, so I decided to pick one up and see how it handles
Dragstrip was the first Stunticon and one of the first Decepticons to be released in the Combiner Wars line, alongside a bunch of Aerialbots and Optimus Prime. Since the first wave is always the one to set a standard for the rest of the line, Dragstrip had a big responsibility. So did he give off a good first impression for what the Decepticons in this line would be like? Let's take a look
One of the many figures that kicked off Hasbro and Takara's efforts to revitalise and reimagine the original Generation One cast of characters with modern toy engineering, the Classics/Henkei voyager Optimus Prime was easily one of the most popular to be released. But does it live up to the hype? And how well does it hold up when compared to more recent figures?
First Aid is a character who has really only gained popularity in the last year or two, thanks to his somewhat prominent role in IDW's MTMTE series, in which he recently became Chief Medical Officer following Ratchet's retirement from the position. Like many, I have been won over by First Aid and have grow to like the character very much. So let's see how well his new toy in the Combiner Wars line holds up
The Combiner Wars toy line is in full swing, and has given us some of the best Transformers toys in a long time. One of the gems of this line is the somewhat recently release leader class Megatron figure, who is a lovely mixture of his Generation One and comic book selves. And who better to talk about for the site's reboot?
