Transformers Kabaya Wave 5: WFC Optimus Prime, Hot Spot, Deathsaurus

 Always have been a fan of Kabayas...
For this set, there's one of my favourite: Deathsaurus!
Though different from the vintage kabaya Deathy, this is still one of the best (if not the best) kabaya transformers model kits
Basically, the kabaya model kits are fun to assemble and play with. Though some of the molds are quite loose (factory default) after assembling.
I spent a couple of hours assembling these figures, inclusive of applying stickers, making sure that every single piece of plastic flash is off.


                                       
The breastforce red eagle came in Hot Spot's pack and can transform and fit into Deathsaurus' chest

                                 
The breastforce blue lion came in WFC Optimus Prime's pack.

                                               Alternate mode with brealindestforce animals...

Transformers MP-11 Masterpiece Coronation Starscream

 My favourite Transformer character of all times!! How can i miss this one?!!
Apparently, Hasbro/TakaraTomy made improvements from the first mold, getting rid of all the issues from MP-03 and...putting in the cape, crown, shoulder pads...damn!! somebody there in Hasbro must be a Starscream slut too!
He has a new head sculpt...a better looking one, a more G1-ish one... 
 No longer a partformer...his null rays are now attached to his arms!!
 yeah!!! no more hip kibble!!
 the irritating piece at the shoulders that drop every now and then is no more!! 
 Another look at the wonderful head sculpt...
 Feet upgraded...Starscream can now stand more stable...without the stand...
 and the supporting piece can be "hidden" when transforming into the alternate mode.
 The tail wings now slide up and down the lower legs to facilitate transformation.

 now comes the crown, shoulder and the cape...quality and fit definitely better then the 3rd party kits.

 Who disrupts my coronation?!!!

 The nice little pilot who will be "piloting" Starscream in fighter plane mode!
 Shoulder pads...King Shoulder pads!
 The crown...
 The cape...
 Cape extended...
 this is how the cape is mounted onto Starscream.
 Fighter plane mode...


 The underneath of the plane...the null rays attached to the arms can attach to the wings too....no more partformer!! 



 the pilot seated in the cockpit...good for one only..



 The limited edition coin that comes with MP-11

Last look at the head sculpt with the crown...oh yes, and the chest missiles.
