Transformers Fall Of Cybertron Sideswipe

 Transformers Fall Of Cybertron (FOC) Sideswipe
Deluxe sized.
Using the mold for FOC Jazz, basically a change in head mold and recolor. Add in a BFG and we get FOC Sideswipe.
Didn't really like the mold...got this for the kiddo to play.
















Transformers Fall Of Cybertron Starscream

Transformers Fall Of Cybertron (FOC) Starscream.
Deluxe sized. Being a screamer slut, i gotta have this.
G1-likeness is what is always look for. and this figure has it.
Not a bad figure, technically ok and easy to transform.


Quite like the upper body, the lower body on the other hand looks somewhat like an animal...elephant's legs and feet.



What i really like about this figure is that the light piping in the eyes are fully utilised. 
The eyes "glow" very easily.

Transformers Generations Wheelie

Transformers Generations Deluxe Wheelie
Actually i was wondering why Hasbro/TakaraTomy would use the Jazz mold and reissue Wheelie.
A minibot, he already has a Henkei/Universe version, another minibot...
So now, i have 2 pieces of CHUG Wheelie.
The head sculpt for this piece is very G1...but then again, a minobot deluxe sized? uh-uh...
This don't really strike me as a good combination....
For some reason, Wheelie is quite rare in numbers, being only 1 piece in every carton of i don't know, 16? 20? What i can see here is that there's only 1 wheelie and tons of Springer, Swerve and Cliffjumper...so if you're a collector and you see one...don't think, just grab! No grab? Regret!

Classics Starscream vs KO Classics Starscream

Bought a KO Classics/Universe Deluxe Starscream.

And i have a MOSC original piece. Made comparisons and here are the differences i found.


Original on the left. Rocket launchers are faced in the correct direction. Missiles are facing upwards.

KO on the right, the rocket launchers are installed in the opposite direction and one of the missles is packed in the wrong direction.

Artwork look terrifying similar....


Original at the top. "Each Sold Separately" is printed

KO does not have "Each Sold Separately"


Original at the top. Corners are normal.

KO at the bottom, corners are rounded.

Original on the right. Megatron and Decepticon word has "All rights reserved" logo.


Original at the top. Number imprinted is clear and up to mark.

KO at the bottom, number imprint is crappy.





Original on the right. Groove is available at knee.

KO on the left, no groove.



Original at the top. No number imprint on the right leg.

KO on the bottom, there is a slight number imprint. but not significant.

Custom Transformers Reveal The Shield Jazz with LED eyes

My first try at customizing electronics into Transformers.

Here we have a Reveal The Shield Jazz.


Vehicle mode. Just like any other RTS Jazz....

Bot mode. Yes, still the same old RTS Jazz....
But look carefully, you'll see a switch on Jazz's waist on his left....move the switch and...
the eyes light up!!
Dealing with electronics is really not easy...had alot of trial and errors and spoilt switches, LEDs, wires....spent alot of time, solders & even required the help of a friend who solders very well...At the end of it all, the satisfaction level is GREAT!
