Beelzeboss Herioc Duo Upgrade Kit

Just gotten another Upgrade kit past few weeks ago, due to my busy work schedule, I didn't have time to post anything. I've gotten a bunch of Transformers Prime figures, all thanks to the clearance sales down here and a few old Brave series robots too. Updates aside, here's a 3rd party upgrade kit from a company called Beelzeboss, this set mainly focuses on the Transformers Henkei / Generations Sideswipe and Red Alert.

The set includes 2 guns and 2 shoulder cannons for both figures, pile driver fists for Sideswipe and the main attraction is the new head for Red Alert.
Installation is easy, clipping on the shoulder mounts and clipping in the shoulder cannons.
The pile drivers fit into each fist hole snugly. The only assembly required is the removing and reattaching of the screw from the old Red Alert Head and attaching the new head.



What you have is 2 beautifully updated G1 characters, overall, this is a great set costing only $35, you get a more accurate shoulder cannons and weapons for both figures, a accurate head for Red alert and accesories for Sideswipe.
The only downside is if you don't have the figures to begin with. Sideswipe can run quite abit nowadays and since the release of the Masterpiece version, prices for Henkei Sideswipe actually went up. Red Alert is relatively easier to find.
With this upgrade set, Sideswipe and Red Alert finally is complete.

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.
