Fansproject Causilty CA-05 Backfiery (Not Kickback)

Finally, I finally got the final figure of the Not-insecticon team by the Causality line by Fansproject. CA-05 BackFiery or effectionately known as Kickback by G1 fans. As most of us Transformers fans remembered the Insecticons as these trio of energon raving, bug transfoming army of drones, Fansproject has done it again by giving us another excellent revamp of the classic threesome.

Seriously, after opening the toy, this has to be the best releases to date though the insect mode is not something to brag about, the robot mode is really superb with real excellent articulation and poseabilty.

 It's a real nicely done representation of the insecticons though Im not really drawn to the back story of each of them. All and all, If you're a G1 fan or really love cool robots, this one is worth checking out, to me, highly recommended unless you're on really tight budget as these guys don't come cheap.

And I have to give props to the place I got them from, real cool toyshop with lotsa cool stuff.

TFX-04 Protector

It's been awhile since I last posted, since then, I was thinking of posting all the older toys first though I know I won't have time to keep up.

The other thing is my camera is out of order, permanently, so the pictures aren't as good as it use to be. Till I get a nice new camera, the pics were taken with a crappy handphone camera which is bad but not entirely.

This is one of them I missed maybe due to the sheer awesomeness, I plainly forgot, now here's a look at Fansproject TFX-04 Protector.

Upgrade addon kit for Classics/Henkei Hot Rod.

The protector is much as same as the previous releases (city commander, DIA commander), similar box design but in Red.

When you first open the box, protector is transformed into trailer mode. I don't have a classics Hot Rod but I do have the Challenge of Cybertron Hot Rod thus all the pictures are based on this version of Hot Rod.

The colour scheme really matches more with the Hasbro's Classic Hot Rod/ Rodimus then this 3pack one.

Transformation works on any Hot Rod if you dun mind the colour scheme.

The protector trailer also forms add-on armor to make Hot Rod become Rodimus Prime.

Transformation is easy and really crisps no loose parts or mismatched parts, much similar to previous releases by Fansproject, armor clips-on easily and accurately.

After transformation, you get a taller, more anime-accurate Rodimus Prime, now this is an update of the classic Rodimus we all know and love.
Poseabilty of the Protector uses all of Hot Rods existing articulation with new additions on the arms.

The remaining trailer also transforms into a battle cannon/base much similar to the vintage Rodimus Prime.

And the trailer also houses a small 6 wheeled roller-like vehicle which could carry weapons and roll around.
