I'd like to give these a whirl, I'm not too familiar with the Japanese Manga

Name: Firedrive Allegiance: Autobot Size Class: Battle Master Accessories: Cannon, 2 “Fire Blast” pieces As the Decepticons have a Battle Master in the shape of Blowpipe, so the Autobots get one in the form of Firedrive here. The original version of the figure was known as Firebolt and came packed ...

I love that set. It looks so cool. I see Lego have finally cottoned onto the growing market for bootleg superhero minifigures and done a collectible series of DC superheroes https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/dc-s ... ries-71026

Name: Blowpipe Allegiance: Decepticon Size Class: Battle Master Accessories: 2 “Fire Blast” pieces Siege has finally given us Targetmasters! Each sold separately. That's right, the Transformers equivalent of a hat for Barbie have been deemed legitimate releases in their own right. A canny move on b...

All the Lego Movie 2 and UniKitty sets have been slashed to 'please take us!' prices. Not really surprising as the LM2 range was a bit weird and the film didn't perform as well as expected (more than likely due to the sharp drop off in novelty). Anyway! I got: Lego Movie 2 70827 Ultrakatty & Warrior...

Energon Unicron Who needs a $600 figure when there's this version out there?! I was always fond of Armada Unicron but sold mine on some years ago. Having now got the blue and orange Primus from The Last Knight, I had a hankering for a Unicron. But one of the funny coloured ones. The green one is si...

I'm looking forward to Scorponok. I'm not too fussed that he doesn't come with any accessories (less to loose, for one thing), just so long as his head is in proportion with his body. I'm guessing Fast Track will be another weponiser, which is fine, but hope he's not going to be grey all over. That ...

Name: Shockwave Allegiance: Decepticon Size Class: Leader Accessories: 2 LV Duo-Pulse Radiographs, 2 LV Gamma-Disruptor Launchers, Backpack I was very excited when I saw pictures of Siege Shockwave. The one eyed monstrosity has always been one of my favourite Transformers and I've been waiting for ...

Thought I'd crank this up, as I've been keeping up with the Doctor. After the first series of Jodie Whittaker's series took a more earnest and budget-friendly tone with it's lack of monsters, this has tapped back into the more popcorn elements the show had over a decade ago. The first two episodes w...

Aliens is like a lot of '80s action films - they're like evergreens, as fresh now as they were at the time. I watched a really good crime caper with Helen Mirren and Ian McEllan in before Xmas, but I can't remember the name of it. Curses. Saw it at the pictures and everything. I watched Fighting Wit...

Name: Skytread Allegiance: Decepticon Size Class: Deluxe Accessories: HV Electron Breacher, EM24 IR Laser Launcher Skytread, which sounds like a fancy kind of shoe, is the new trademark problem-free name for the Duocon formerly known as Flywheels. One of two slighlty derpy chancers originating from...

Some more Energon Goodies! (there's a pun there, I'm sure...) Deluxe Towline I was charmed by this toy having watching Thew's review on him. He's a really nice toy with some fun gimmicks, just ruined by an odd mix of red, white, blue, gold, black, white and olive green. As with Machine Wars Optimus ...

Finally got around listening to your Podcast (...yay) and enjoyed it as always. Might even give the new IDW run a shot. At some point.

Siege Micromasters Swindler, Roadhandler, Topshot & Flak Okay. These are much better than Stormcloud and Vhisper. As much fun as the originals, just a little let down by cheap, clip on plastic wheels and being a tiny bit over-engineered for their size. They have the same problems as those late wave...

Energon was my favourite too. The colour palette used for the Decepticons was great - all greens, purples and blacks with translucent highlights - and I really liked the designs. Even the chunky looking Autobots have their charms. I like the idea of mix and match weapons much more than I do spring-l...

Name: Ultra Magnus Allegiance: Autobot Size Class: Leader Accessories: RT15 Stethoscopic Detector, 2 W-30 Magnetic Inducer Launchers, 2W-HV-1000 Simulacrum Blasters, 7 Magnus Armour Pieces Ultra Magnus has never been a character that gets my pulse racing. I've enjoyed the toys of him that I have – ...

I've been a bit fatigued by the endless G1 navel-gazing of the recent Geewunerations lines, so been looking back into the distant backness of the early twenty-first century when Hasbro were trying new things with Transformers (er, to a degree). Energon Battle Ravage Neat beast mode (aside from the f...

Right, I've done Siege Hound. My plan is to tackle the whole first wave, so I'll do Ultra Magnus and then (in no particular order) Flywheels, Shockwave, Megatron, Cog, Optimus and the two Battlemasters and 3 sets of Micromasters. That post up there reminds me I still need to do pictures for Cordon. ...

It feels too soon to be giving us new versions of characters we've only had the year before. I was hoping we'd have more Cybertronian-based stuff. Can't blame Hasbro, though. They know we'll all be happily shelling out for yet more G1 versions of Optimus and the Seekers all over again, so why not pu...

Thanks. I'll update the accessories and you're right, I forgot to fold the toes in. Oh, well...

2019 was a lean year for reviews, so I'm going to try and pick up the slack and get some done this year!
