Leader Megatron - TF2 Reviews

Finally I've gotten a chance to review one of my new figures. I've had alot going on lately due to school and stuff. I just got Leader Megatron yesterday(Happy late Halloween! "Wow, that was weak") and I'm very excited to review him cuz he's a badass figure.

Look: Megs is very good in the look and has perfect detail. I just wish some parts of his fusion cannon were gold and that his right shoulder was silver so that he'd be little more movie accurate. I also wish he had plane red eyes instead of them being black so it would be more accurate as well.

Playability: This guy's very playable! he has alot of gimmicks too. I love how he has his fusion cannon like in the mvie and how a blade pops out of it like in Revenge of the Fallen. His transformation is very easy, the only problem is that his cannon can fall off easily while trying to do. His tank mode is also very cool.

Price & Size: His price is fine.($37.00) His size is perfect in scale to Leader Optimus Prime. He's only a little bit taller, just like in the film. I'm very happy that I finally have a figure the size of my Optimus finally.

Final thoughts: Just go get the big troll already! He's totally priceless and just plain awesome!!!



Look - 4/5
Playability - 5/5
Price - 4/5
Size - 5/5
Total - 18/20










Ps. Leader Optimus Prime has the same rating as Megatron like above so there's no point in reviewing him. But I will say that my only problem with him is that every piece on him that's silver in the movie is gray and I would've liked him even better if it were silver. Same way with his energy blades.

Possible Custom Scalpel and a little bit on Leader Optimus Prime

Well, guys. I don't know what to do. I love my Revenge of the Fallen Scout Class The Doctor but I do not love his color scheme. I'm thinking of buying silver paint and repainting him some. I might do the same to some parts of my Leader Optimus Prime's energy blades just to make both figures more movie accurate. What do you think?

Ps. Speaking of The Doctor and Optimus, here's an awesome clip from ROTF. Sorry! I never get tired of watching it!

weekend Birthday and new Voyager figure!!!

Okay. My birthday is on Tuesday september 1st and i will be turning 13. My aunt and my two cousins came out to celebrate it with me by seeing G.I. Joe and going out to dinner. They got me two new books and the Voyager Demolishor! I might not do a review on him until I get the chance. I gotta finish some homework. But I will say that GI Joe was pretty good. Good graphics but used badly. I kinda thought the humor that was in it was corny and boring. I hated how when ever there'd be an explosion, you'd hear really cheesey dramatic music like it was some kinda black-and-white horror film. Demolishor is a pretty cool toy though. his alt mode is very nice and I love how you can sort of flip the wheels around like he did in the movie.

Deluxe Arcee - TF2 Reviews

This is my fifth review and it's going to be about the Deluxe Arcee figure. It's one I've been waiting for and it has to be one of my favorites.

Look: I have to say that this is one of the coolest Deluxes from the toy line of ROTF and I'm not quite sure why people all over the web say it's so ugly in their reviews. It's the leader of the only three female robots in the movie! How can you hate the design? I do believe they went a little overboard with the color there cuz it eems more red than pink. It is kinda weird looking but atleast it's almost exactly the way Arcee dlooked like in the film and it's a well made figure in design.

Playability: Arcee is pretty playable. My only problem is that her two whels won't snap back together and I can't seem to work her back to her Ducati 848 motorcycle mode cuz everyone who's done a review on this figure on the web hasn't shown how to transform it back, all they do is show you how to transform it from motorcycleto robot which is the easy part. It's cool cuz she also has a very cool cybertronian energy bladethat pops out of her wrist in robot mode. I also like how she has the two wheels stuck together and just rides on both othem like one. She has a sidecar in motorcycle mode which i don't really think is necessary cuz she didn't have it in the movie but you can still use it as a stand for her in robot mode.

Price & Size: (I'm not doing Price & Size on this review because it's a deluxe and all deluxes are pretty much the same.)

Final Thoughts: My final thoughts on this figure are pretty positive. I don't like how the two wheels don't snap together but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't go out and get it. She's really cool and I can't wait to get the third purple sister Flare-up to add to my collection since I already have Chromia. In fact, she's a better figure than Chromia and for some reason there's this thinng goin' around that you "can combine all three of the Arcee sister toys to make a way bigger robot or something". Hope you enjoyed this review, guys. Deluxe Arcee is a must have and I strongly recommend it if you see it in stores.

Look - 5/5
Playability - 4.7/5
Price - 5/5
Size - 5/5
Total - 19.7/20



Ps. I would also really, REALLY appreciate it if you would please give me the link to a video or review that shows you how to transform Arcee from robot mode back to motorcycle.

Deluxe Sideswipe - TF2 Reviews

This is my fourth review. I got Deluxe Sideswipe and Deluxe Arcee last weekend and I can't wait to share my feelings about them both. I will be doing Arcee later on when I have the time since school just started for me and it's been alot of work.

Look: This figure is very neat in design and look. He's very cool and spectacular for a deluxe figure because it looks almost exactly like he did in Revenge of the Fallen. His blades weren't necessarily part of his Chevrolet Corvette car mode in the film since they retracted and were cybertronian metal, also known as cybertanium. And his head sculpt is very detailed indeed.

Playability: Deluxe Sideswipe has to be one of my favorites to transform next to my Deluxe Rampage figure. The gimmick is that you can pull his blades apart to make it look like he retracted it which makes it easier for someone to do a stop-motion remake of the scene where he cuts the cake out of Sideways. His rollerskate like wheels on his feet are very rollable if you wish to roll him around........that sounded wrong.

Price & Size: Like I say in every other review, the cost for a Deluxe isn't that bad. Just 13 bucks including taxes. His size is actually really good for a deluxe figure. Bigger than most deluxes.

Final Thoughts: My final thoughts for this awesome toy are that it's a must have figure. I was planning on either getting Sideswipe or Arcee. I was aloud to get both so they are pretty new if you see them in stores. If you see him at the store and have the cash for it then go ahead and buy the darn toy! I mean, seriously. If you're ticked cuz he didn't get enough screen time and you want to know more about him then just stop dreaming and actually go out and get it, man!!!! I'm super persuasive aren't I?

Look - 4/5
Playability - 5/5
Price - 5/5
Size - 5/5

Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee - TF2 Reviews


This is my third transformers review and my first Deluxe class review so enjoy. Almost three months ago the day before I went to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, I went to Target and bought the new Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee figure. I was never able to get the deluxe Bumblebee figure when the first movie came out cuz Target never had it and every time they did there was one and someone took it from me. That's why I decided I wanted a toy of Bumblebee also because he's probably my favorite autobot next to the Twins. I just started reviewin' these figures which is actually alot of fun and sinceI already had him I just thought that maybe it was a good idea to do so.

Look: The look of Cannon Bumblebee is actually really cool and creative. His head is very detailed especially the eyes. It's neat they wre able to fit in his shoulder cannons that he had in the first film cuz it was sad that he never used them. Everyone has been saying the same darn thing when they review this figure and it's true....Cannon Bumblebee has seats inside of his vehicle mode which makes it a little more detailed and realistic.

Playability: Cannon Bumblebee is very, very playable. Once you get the hang of it, he's pretty easy to transform. The one problem about it is how his head can't stay sticking out of robot mode. Also, pieces can break off easily so be careful but some of them are made to do that just to make the transformation a little easier. The reasen I highlighted some of them is because when you transform Bumblebee back to his Camaro vehicle mode, you have to push the front of the car to line up all the pieces in place. Doing so, i accidentally broke the piece in the middle of the two stripes off! He still looks cool though. One problem with this figure is that I wish they made a feature where you could pop the mask on and off and possibly do the same with his rightarm's plasma cannon. Otherwise, he's very fun to transform, pose, and play with....wait that sounds a little weird even though they're meant to be played with. Okay, I'll shut up now.

Price & Size: Bumblebeee's size is decent. He can be hard to pose if you don't tilt his chest and feet the right way but his size isn't that big of a problem(Heh, heh. That was a bit of a coincidential play on words.) The price for this toy is fair enough. Just the same as any average deluxe figure being $11.78.

Final Thoughts: I have to say that this toy is a must have if you don't have the regular Deluxe Bumblebee. I mean, come on1 Seats in his robot mode and his head sculpt without the mask is very cool. I wish you could attach hs plasma cannon if you wanted to but oh well. Guys, if you see it and don't have it then I strongly recommend getting him.

Look - 5/5
Playabilty - 4/5
Price - 5/5
Size - 5/5
Total - 19/20

Ps. does anyone know where to find a friggin' Deluxe Ice Cream Twins figure? I can't find one anywhere and it seems like everyone on the web has one and I don't! I don't want it because everyone has one, i want it cuz it's cool an is a very creative figure I'm just upset that everyone's able to find one when there are only Rampages and Demolishors. So if anyone knos how to find one I'd be very thankful.

Deluxe Rampage - TF2 Reviews

This is my second review. I just got this yesterday so I thought I should do a review on him since I had nothing better to do.

Look: The look of Rampage is very cool. Not exactly like the way he did in the movie and the yellow paint scheme does bother me since he was reddish orange in the film but I don't care too much any more. I don't like his regular robot mode cuz it's incorrect actually. The jackhammer mode is the way he appeared in the movie so I leave him like that. I do wish he had cannons on his hands like in the movie. Still, he has to be the coolest one I have so far.

Playability: Rampage is very, very playable. I love his whips and how I can make him fight my Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee. Alot of people on the web are complaining about how he's hard to transform back to bulldozer mode but actually he's very easy transform. I can transform him faster than my Cannon Bumblebee! The transformation is very clever aklso but I wouldn't use too much of the instructions there's two pages of it when you could just pop the bulldozer piece off and transform him easier!

Price & Size: Rampage's size is smaller than I expected. He's the smallest Constructicon. He's big enough though. The price of Deluxe Rampage is kinda cheap being $11.78.

Final Thoughts: I have to say that deluxe Rampage is a very nice figure indeed. He's pretty easy to transform, cheap, and a bit small but still very cool. His paint scheme being yellow is a bit of a mistake made by Hasbro and the cannons could have been a good edition to the toy. I really don't understand why when I bought him at the store there were tons of them there since he's awesome! A kid even walked up to me and told me that he sucked and I should get Voyager Ironhide! Anyways, if you're at Target or wherever and you see him and can buy him then I strongly recommend you get him cuz he's wicked and is my favorite one!

Look - 4.9/5
Playability - 5/5
Price - 5/5
Size - 4/5
Total - 19/20
