Transformers Prime PRID Voyager Starscream

This was released in Singapore just a few days ago. Not released elsewhere yet. Bot mode is OK, don't like the alt mode. The gaps at the back of the plane is quite bad and you can look through it.
The powerizer weapon is plain silly

I prefer the deluxe version over this



Here's Starscream out of the box










Here's a shot of TFP RID Voyager Megatron, Starscream and Bulkhead

Alternity Ultra Magnus Nissan GT-R Brilliant Pearl White

Got this to see if I like the mold before committing to buying the Optimus Prime/ Convoy blue or red color. Noticed that it says Ultla Magnus instead of Ultra Magnus

KO Binaltech Shockblast

Very nice KO. Unfortunately, one or the rear doors broke off while I was trying to transform it for the first time. I will likely get a replacement. The exhaust muffler converts to a gun and its left hand is a gun instead of a fist

KOLD Blue Classics Konvoy

Got this from Chimungmung toy store. Nice KO version of the mold. Joints are decently tight and is at least 80% of my original classics Optimus Prime

Transformers Robots in Disguise Voyager Megatron

Got this as there has been no Voyager Megatron out to scale with Voyager Optimus prime.
I do have the deluxe Megatron from the FE Optimus vs Megatron Entertainment 2 Pack.

The Gun Gimmick doesn't work very well in my figure, should have checked before I buy. I like this figure slightly more than the FE deluxe as it's only con is that it lacks silver paint. Its chest is better proportioned vs the deluxe, but you probably can't tell unless you're looking at them side by side.

This is a picture of the DELUXE Megatron from the Entertainment Pack



This next Photo is the Voyager PRID Megatron


The back kibble is better managed vs the deluxe and looks more acceptable to me vs the deluxe

Transformers Robots in Disguise Bumblebee vs Starscream Pack

I bought this mainly for the smaller figures that comes with the pack, Leland "Silas" Bishop and a Mech Soldier.
It kinda fits well with the Optimus Prime vs Megatron Entertainment pack where it has the 3 children in Transformers Prime

I'll open this pack soon. If I'm not mistaken, both Bumblebee and Starscream are repaints from the same molds as the First Edition ones. I quite like most of the FE molds vs the RID lines, so I don't mind getting a repeat of these characters. I'm probably not going for the RID Optimus, Cliffjumper, Bumblebee. However, I may get the TakaraTomy versions of some characters if they have a nicer paintjob

TakaraTomy Disney Label Buzz Lightyear

Got this cheap. As I already have the Mickey and Donald versions, I thought this would be a nice addition to the collection
The figure is pretty nice and the head can be taken out and it's a tiny Buzz at the back.

TakaraTomy UN-25 Tank Megatron

Price of Movie2 Megatron has certainly skyrocketed recently. Bought this recently launched UN-25 Tank Megatron. Think supplies will run short in Singapore soon.
Sometimes, cost of the toy makes me hesitate in opening to play with them. Haha

Transformers Universe Starscream

Saw a few of these on sale at CSC yesterday and promptly got 2 of them. One to keep MISB and one to open. On comparing with the KO CHMS Ghost Starscream, there are some differences. The fists are more loose on this. The peg holes on the arms are also too big to hold the missile launchers. Had to fix with some Pledge Future Shine.
I find that the arms are a little short for this mold though. But it's a decent representation of G1 Starscream

Interestingly , the missiles do not fit into the KO CHMS Ghost Starscream

Transformers Prime Vehicon (TakaraTomy)

Decided to get TFP Vehicon. Initially wanted to wait for retail sale of it at Toys R Us or local department stores. However, some recent news has said that Hasbro is cancelling this line (First Edition line) and starting the Robots in Disguise line and the Powerizers line. As there has been no Hasbro release of Vehicon, had to get the TakaraTomy version. I think will be out of stock soon.
Not sure if I want to open it up or keep it MISB

KO CHMS Starscream (Ghost Version)


 Got this from the recent haul from Taobao. Unfortunately, it's missing a missile, so am waiting to see if I can get a replacement. Joints are nice and tight for a KO. The color applications are a bit faint and looks to be hand painted.

Legends Class Arcee

Got a loose Legends Class Arcee. Initially, I thought it would fit nicely with the other HA bikes from HA Jazz and HA Skids. It does looks to be a bit smaller upon putting Sergeant Recon on it, he looks slightly oversized.
In the picture, it's slightly mistransformed, but this was how I received it.

KO Classics Optimus Prime and Nemesis Prime

Bought these 2 KOs to use with the KO Commander sets. Haven't found Ultra Magnus at this point.So far, most of the joints are pretty tight, except for the waist. I bought them loose to save a bit on shipping. The card on the original is crazily big.
Probably have to do some touchups on the commander upgrade sets, especially the shoulders. If I still can't find Ultra Magnus, Maybe I'll get another Nemesis prime and paint it white myself.



One of the smokestack guns came with a manufacturing defect. I'm trying to see if the seller can send me a replacement. I used some rubbing alcohol to remove the Decepticon logo on Optimus Prime. Waiting for my Reprolabels to come so that I can put the correct label on Optimus. Paint apps are ok, Some spillage in some areas.
The Smokestack guns are pretty loose. Trying some Pledge with Future Shine and it works much better than the Tamiya Extra Thin Cement.

KO Nemesis has a tighter waist. Noticed that it has a rivet instead of the screw in Optimus.

KO Shadow Commander, DIA Commander & City Commander

Just bought these KO upgrade sets for the Classics Prime Voyager. I did get manage to get the KO  Nemesis Prime and Optimus Prime. Still short of Ultra Magnus. Looks like nobody's manufacturing the KO Ultra Magnus any more.

I have tried the Shadow Commander set on on of the KO prime. Shoulders are a bit loose and overall, doesn't fit perfectly, but it's functional and probably OK for display.
Here are pics of the box and its contents. I think they are short of a poster which should be in the original sets









Transformers Reveal the Shield Lugnut

Got this together with the IGear PP01c at China Square Central.
Haven't got it opened yet. But seems like it's from a China source as there's the usual big Chinese sticker on it, typical of stock from China. Box is in excellent condition.





It's pretty interesting as its alternate mode is an old WWII looking bomber

IGear PP01C Clear Leader


Just got this at China Square Central for a good price.

This is a previous run of the mini MP-01 mold vs the Ultra leader (Ultra Magnus)
Only the black is a little different and it doesn't close as well as the Ultra Magnus box. Everything else, is similar, but with everything in clear or smoked plastic.
Everything fits quite nicely. However, it doesn't feel as solid as my KO MP-01. But, still a good toy. This will go well with my growing collection of transparent transformers.
