Mastermind Creation's Upcoming Hexatron

One of the most long awaited Transformers Generation 1 characters to re-released in plastic glory, the six changer Six-shot or now known as Terminus Hexatron by  the 3rd party company which gave us the Knight Morpher, Mastermind Creations.

Revamped but retaining the G1 aesthatics of the classic character, rumored to be approximately Transformers Movie leader sized figure. The 6 transformations truefully faithful to the original, only difference with the beast mode, not being a flying puma, this incarnation resembles a cyber wolf.

Besides the classic Decepticon, Mastermind creations is also releasing a recolour redecoed Great Shot.

Though the bad news is the retail price would be around $200 USD but the fans of the Generation 1 characters, this should be a must have.

Hasbro Transformers Generations Red Alert

Autobots ROLL out! Yes another day another Transformer, picked up this baby from my nearby deparment stores, sad to say, there wasn't any sale or clearance but I've always wanted Red Alert and Tracks and Wheeljack and ok, that's abit too much info, anyways, back to the Transformers Generations Red Alert, another classic character brought back to us once again, revamped and remolded.

The packaging is the same ol' carded blister depicting graphics from the dreamwave comic book art of Red Alert. He comes packed in vehicle mode. On the back, his bio-spec and a brief description of Red Alert. Not much changes from his vintage tech spec.

Here he is out of the package, in car mode, details are nicely done with printed decals instead of the classic sticker, I actually prefer this way as stickers tend to come off in time.

One thing I noted was the engine on the top, I kinda prefer the car mode without the engine, much similar to its original counterpart as he had the same mold as Sideswipe. The engine part can transform and attach to his gun making a bigger gun for Red Alert.

Transformed, Red Alert is real nice robot, porpotioned and has a wide range of articulation. Mainly ball joints on the arms, thighs and feet. Although the lower legs are hollow behind, this also allows him to bend his needs more for more dynamic poses.

Red Alert is nice addition to any Transformer fan, if you love the G1 characters and still prefer the old classic cartoon, Red Alert still captures the classic character and has a decent transformation, for those who hate Transformers who are like a jigsaw cum Rubik cube, Red Alert is not too complicated and has a slick car mode.

Transformers Henkei Hound

Back with the retro characters, the Transformers Henkei series released all our beloved characters from Transformers Generation 1, old characters with a brand new sculpt but still retaining the same characteristics. Enough of the introduction, recently, I gotten this, C-13 Autobot Hound, chief tracker and scout for Optimus Prime.

Autobot Hound packs some of the most sophisticated sensing technology of any of the Autobots. He is capable of tracking even the most stealthy and light-footed Decepticon– namely Ravage through rivers, across bare rock, and even through the air by the spare whisper of electromagnetic radiation the robot panther leaves behind. Though Ravage can hide almost perfectly in even the slightest shadow, no amount of skill can prevent Autobot Hound from finding him.

The original 1984 tech spec shown below. 

                                                                                                 

Autobot Tracker Hound

"Observe everything, remember even more."

Hound loves the natural wonders of Earth, prefers it to Cybertron. Brave, fearless, loyal. Secretly desires to be human. Uses turret gun as radar scope, infrared radiation collector. Tracks machines as well as humans. Hologram gun projects 3-dimensional grid laser-light topographical maps. Vulnerable to thermal and electromagnetic interference.

The vehicle mode is an updated Jeep much like the original version. The Jeep is slick and really detailed, with a chrome bumper and blue windscreens. The back compartment has two moveable pegs to carry ravage in cassete mode.

Now here's the fun part, yes, you can insert the transformation sounds here, simple transformation and lots of articulation namely ball-joints are all over the place making Hound a nice additon to your collection.

The head sculpt still captures the essence of the classic animation, if you love the original Tranformers of the 80's, Hound here is a updated blast from the past.

Hound also came with a oversized Decepticon cassette Ravage who transforms into a black jaguar.

Ravage's transformed mode is not too bad looking, still looks like the old ravage, and the good news, he fits into the old soundwave too, bad news, ravage is lack of articulation on his legs so he's kinda limited to that few poses.

This set is loaded with play value, I've been playing with Hound for a few days now and still love them to the bone. Being only $24.90 SGD, All in all, Hound's a value for money and real nice decent Transformer to have.

TFX-01J D.I.A commander

Hello to all again, I'm back from all the Lunar New year celebrations, back to work and of course, back to all the glorious toys!
To begin with, here's one of my fave Transformers, Henkei Convoy or Henkei Optimus Prime. 
The upgrade set D.I.A commander is the third repaint of the TFX-01 City Commander set which is also know as Ultra Magnus, was made to make your Classics Voyager Ultra Magnus more erm Ultra Magnus looking.

Just in case, you guys don't know what Im talking about, TF Parallax is a fan based set of armor, made to merge into Transformers Henkei or Classics Optimus Prime aka Poweredup Prime.
The D.I.A. Commander was more suitable for Henkei version( Japanese version of the classics Optimus Prime, but to me it matches both Henkei or Classics version , since the repaint for Prime (TFX-01R Powered Commander) was a limited exclusive for Toronto's TFCon convention.D.I.A commander is also a Diaclone colour scheme just like the vintage Diaclones of the 80s.

Pictured is a Japan version Optimus Prime.

Here's Optimus Prime in truck mode and the armour transforms into the trailer. Yes, more pictures ahead.

Im quite impressed in the quality of the fan project toy, the plastic used in the toy is top notched and the transformation is really nicely engineered.

Details are really slick too, to the paintwork, detailing and of course the chrome. Oops, I forgot to turn the license plate down. Ok, guys, more pictures....

Besides the inbuilt details you get, there is also stickers that make this even more outstanding, the stickers aren't the sleazy type, the stickers are actually high quality, thick and metallic finish, Yes, yes there's more pictures...

Here's the dismantled trailer, ready for transformation, the armour snaps on really nicely, except for the groin armor which easily falls off, the rest is snaps on tightly, the only down-side are the legs needs alittle more attention to snap on.

Here he is, fully snapped on armor, and does he look way cooler then the original counterpart though classics Prime is already badass.. and there's more pictures....

Prime's guns are stored on the back, not one but both of his guns.

Besides making Optimus Prime more badass, the trailer also transforms in a gigantic kickass gun missile laucher......

Downside, the gigantic gun is well, too gigantic, being too heavy for Prime to support, I had to use a cigarette box to support it to get that pose, guys, scroll for more pictures..

If you let your imagination run wild, Optimus can hold his gun this way like some stellar futurastic laser cannon or missile cannon thingy.....ok, its just me.....

All in all, this is highly recommended upgrade for your Classics Optimus, and unlike the exclusive released earlier, this set isn't so hefty in price...Powerup your Prime today!!!

Till all are one!!!!
