TF Classic Mirage

TF Classic Mirage

TF Classic Mirage is one of the best articulated Transformers Figure that I've ever seen. You can do tons of poses in it. I hope that all of the Transformers toy are as articulated as Mirage but that depends on the figure itself. Mirage is a tin Transformers that's why he is very articulated. It's like a stick figure matches when on robot mode. Basically the robot mode wins over the alternate mode. It's much better to stay on a robot mode rather than its alternate mode. The high kick test on mirage passed with an excellent mark.

Transformation is easy but you need to figure it out on where or how to transform some bits or pieces of it. The alternate mode of Mirage resembles like that of an F1 Formula race car. The details on it is really great you could see the Witwicky Sparkplugs logo on its tail ends. You could also see the F.P.Racing logo's on both left and right. The number 26 is also really visible. You could also see 4 mufflers on its rare ends. The front tail boom is removable and it acts like a beam gun for Mirage on its robot mode.

Over all these is really an excellent figure and is a must have figure for all of the Transformers fans. Articulation is excellent you can fiddle with it and can do a lot of poses. These is a highly recommended toy.

TFClassic Starscream

TF Classic Starscream:



Some of my inight on Starscream:

Starscream is a Decepticons screamer or should I say a Seeker or a destroyer. He is the second in command of the Decepticons. He always dislikes Megatron's leadership and always wants to grab power from him unfortunately Starscream is Megatrons dog. I remember in the 1986 cartoon movie of Transformers Starscream was put into dust by Galvatron (aka Megatron when he has been transformed by Unicron).


Starscream was second best and I think he has grown some cult popularity even far more popular than Megatron. He is a very strong Decepticon warrior and was always stubborn on his wits and he doesn't even care if some of his comrades was destroyed in battle. All he even care was to become the leader of the Decepticons and destroy all of the Autobots and reign supreme of the universe. Autobots were having a hard time in destroying these fellah. Starscream is fast and he is like a screamer of death.





Toy Review:

These is a classic line at best. Starsream details is really superb the only thing that I don't like about him is his big gun on both of his shoulders. The guns was suppose to be thin and small not with some big guns. I know we like big guns but not like these guy. These is a perfect rendition of the original Starscream from the cartoon series. The transformation of Starscream from robot to plane is really rather simple, easy, and plain. The alternate mode of Starscream is a close resemblance to F-15 Eagle. And the details on the alternate mode of Starscream is really good or close to excellent. Another turn off on the alternate mode was you guess what its his big guns. Well you can actually remove the big guns to be much better.

The articulation of it was also good there are just some minor articulation. The kick test has passed and you can actually do some high kick poses. The articulation of Starscream only goes on both shoulders and the legs part. The body doesnt move like 360 degrees.

Well these is a must buy from the classic line and you will surely enjoy fiddling with Starscream and you'll never grow tired of looking at his awesome alternate mode. A must buy for TF fans like me.

TFTM Incinerator Reviews








TFTM Incinerator:

Box Description:

Since the end of the war and the destruction of Megatron, more and more individual Decepticons have been appearing on Earth chasing rumors that their leader still lives. Most choose to remain hidden from the Autobots who have stayed behind to defend the world, but not Incinerator. He's actively hunting All Spark enhanced Autobots, reasoning that one of them must know where Megatron is. When he catches an Autobot, Incinerator takes him on a little ride, swooping and diving dangerously, hovering over canyons and volcanoes, and generally terrifying whatever information he can out of his victim. When he's done, he just finds the deepest hole he can an drops his helpless prey in.

Review:

TFTM Incinerator is a very solid figure and I'm surprised that Incinerator came out as a voyager class immediately without going into a deluxe version of it. I basically like the alternate mode rather than its robot mode cause alternate mode resembles an Osprey type helicopter. The Osprey type is a solid one with a rotatable rotor action there is a small lever on the back of the tail end which you can pull back to rotate the rotor blade. Basically the small lever resembles that of an small Early Warning Radar. You can also move both of the rotor blades forward that can be look like a plane or you can move it upwards to look like a helicopter.

While in robot mode Incinerator looks is very menacing because of its rotor blades act as a spinning weapon that can slice up an Autobots into half. The only odd thing about Incinerator is it doesn't have a hand the blades are its hands but its ok. The transformation of it is somewhat a little bit of hard. There are a lot of pushing back on its transformation like on the cockpit for instance. You have to pull it out and push the bottom of the cocpit and lock it on its front middle part. Overall the transformation is really rock solid and there are no gaps or other unstable locking place on its part while transforming this awesome figure.

I would like to recommend these one and its fun to play with when it is on its Osprey mode. I would like to recommend buying two of these babies. One for the Osprey and the other is for the alternate mode. Basically I only have the Hasbro version not the Black Takara once.
