Generations Whirl…Robotic Nutcase...

Generations Whirl…For those who have read the IDW comics, More Than Meets the Eye, they would know that Whirl is a real nutcase, likely to defect to the Decepticons…
When Hasbro released this character, i thought i'd just grab it since, it came along at a lower than Singapore retail price bargain…(thanks to a local fellow TF collector).

The toy is truly representative of the IDW storyline and outlook.

A pity there wasn't any light up feature for Whirl's eyes.


There were a couple of new Generation Voyager-sized toys released: Springer, Blitzwing, Doubledealer, Sandstorm…i bought all these but Whirl is different…He came with a sticker sheet!
G1 fans will never forget…."I'm looking for a piece which is unused, stickers unapplied"
It has been a long time when Transformers came with a sticker sheet!
It was really reminiscence of a G1 process.
I gleefully applied the stickers onto Whirl. The above pictures are without stickers..Those below have stickers applied…any difference?

Helicopter mode

Heloped mode…to Macross fans, Gerwalk mode.

Bot mode.

Close up of the bot mode.

Truthfully, didn't quite like the chicken legs…but i guess that's how IDW designed Whirl and it's how Whirl has been represented in this new age...

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!

Transformers Generations Warpath


Transformers Generations Warpath
Probably the best deluxe figure so far alongside wreckgar!
Warpath's ranked with wreckgar as my favourite deluxe figure!!

No extra kibble for the bot mode..nice...and very "fierce"!!

The only problem if we want to be fussy will be the end of the missile sticking otu when it is inserted into the launcher...otherwise, its perfect!
Once again, somewhat disappointed with the QC...Warpath came out of the packaging with a stress mark at the knee and the most annoying thing is that the stres smark is at a spot where there is no movement whatsoever..

Transformers Generations Wheeljack

Transformers Generations Wheeljack.
This mold is some what using the same mold as Generations Tracks.
But the thing is, wheeljack seems abit short and fat bulky legs...
I tried to "extend" the legs trying to match what is shown in the instruction sheet....
But it seems that they also reused the instruction sheet from Tracks for Wheeljack.
The figure seemed very bone white, comparable to the United version? Let's see...

The main issue here is the QC of the toys...for my wheeljack, it seems that half the mouth plate/face was not painted. this i'll have to get back to Robotkingdom (Where i bought the figure from)...hopefully they can send me a replacement head for Wheeljack!

Transformers Generations Scourge

Transformers Generations Scourge
Not a bad mold...but the quality sucks.

The right arm falls off easily..the wings does not clip onto the back easily....i think it cant even clip on! (ala MP rodimus)

But i gotta admit though...it's very G1-ish...so i still like it despite all the complaints...am such a G1 slut...

Transformers Generations Thundercracker

Transformers Generations Thundercracker
Probably the most recolored mold ever...
Same as any other deluxe sized seeker mold, exept different color scheme....what's new?

Generations, Masterpiece Ghost and Alternity Starscream.

Some of my hauls locally...got a friend to get all these at the best price available. (hopefully!)
Introducing first: Masterpiece Ghost Starscream!
This has to be my favourite piece!
Got 2 pieces of the villianous bugger!
A cool figure and it's not as fragile or breakable as it looks..in fact i find it more sturdy than the first MP starscream...

War For Cyberton Optimus Prime
Very good mold with a challenging transformation.
Cool figure too but really needs a good paint job.
Generations Thrust.
Same mold as Henkei/Universe Ramjet. (actually i never played with a conehead before as mine are all still MOSC)
But being very similar to a starscream mold, i could transform it easily...
No complains on this fella though...

Generations Drift
Don't know about this guy much.
The transformation is okay and the car mode is cool...bot mode is abit somewhat different form the usual prowls, swipes and streakers...
The sword plus pair of daggers....C-O-O-L!
Alternity Starscream
Though i'm a Starscream fan/slut, this has to be the worst of all so far.
I tried transforming it once, after i got it out of the box/tray.
And hell, i would probably never ever transform it again...joints are loose, the doors drop easily..and the four spider eyes...man, are there any non-blind QC at hasbro?
i had to color the top 2 eyes black to make it look so much more easy on my eyes...
a flimsy figure...the only factor that would salvage this fella is the design...otherwise, nuts!
