The Red Lion

I knew this Leo Prime is already released in US but I couldn't see any in Hong Kong. At last I order one from the China auction site. To be honest, I don't like the Galaxy Force LigerJack figure very much. It is just a piece of brick in both beast mode and robot mode. The only reason I bought LigerJack is that it can combine with Galaxy Convoy. This Leo Prime repaint attracts me with the new remold Prime head, and the classic red/blue color scheme. And what's more, this Leo Prime is the first US release of Lio Convoy, with a Prime head sculpt! (remember the legends Leo Prime?)
Lets enjoy the photo gallery. (click to enlarge the photos)

In Package.


"Aware of it only as a rumor"? Of course, Lio Convoy comes from the East!


Nice boxart.








So difficult to make any pose!


Prime's trademark head is the strongest reason for me to get this figure.










Robot mode also lacks of joints. I wants poseable figures, Hasbro/TT!


LigerJack's color scheme is actually better than Leo Prime's.


Prime meets Convoy!


Liger Convoy is Galaxy Convoy combined with LigerJack. So he is Prime Convoy?


Eat my big claw!


The dramatic double Convoy!
This combination is really great. The color of Leo Prime fits very well on Galaxy Convoy.

Henkei Red Alert

The last wave of Henkei series, Alert and Smokescreen, are out. Though both of them are the third repaints of the same mold, I couldn't resist to pick them up. I decided to make a gallery for Alert first as he is still a Japanese exclusive figure up till now. As mentioned in previous post for Lambor and Sunstreaker, I like this mold very much. Alert is an exact repaint of Lambor, even with the same head sculpt. The only difference is the emergency lightbar on the roof. Maybe the mold used for so many times, it is very difficult to insert the shoulder canon into the hole. Not much to talk about this figure, just enjoy the pictures!

Japanese package is always nice.


Another nice thing comes with Japanese version, the BIO card.


Very nice car mode.






"ALERT" license plate.




Lambor and Sunstreaker and twin brothers, but who the hell is Alert?


Not much to say with robot mode.




I don't remember if there is a scene in G1 they all show up.

Finally, lets see the evolution in 25 years.

ROTF Megatron

I can't resist to buy another piece of crap as long as it is called TF and it is a new mode. Megatron toys in the first movie already suck, the new toy in ROFT does not improved much. The alternate mode is a so-callled Cybertronian tank, but i can only think of this creature! The robot has some improvement over the first movie one, but still lack of articulations. How can Hasbro give such a bad desgin to the Decepticon leader? Even Demolisher is better than Megatron. It is better to save your money and skip this to wait for the Leader class Megatron.
Anyway, more pics for you to make your decision. (click to enlarge the pictures)

BIO


Mixmaster and The fallen are much more attractive!








Tank? Jet? Who cares!


Robot mode is not that bad actually. But the arms are not qualified for Voyager class toy.










This is the big claw with MechAlive gimmick. The blade flips out when you bend the arm.


The only nice part in this figure is the head sculpt! Evil!

(2009.04.20) I found there is another MechAlive gimmick! There are 4 gears in the upper torso of Megatron. When you turn his waist, the gears move! Nice detail!
