Transformers! Pt.2

I finally got my hands on a couple of Transformers toys the other day. After the Transformers movie, the hype ensured that all the toys based on the movie flew off the shelves and were never to be seen again.

Luckily I was at Toys R Us at Subang while they were in the midst of restocking. WOOT!

Without further ado, presenting...Autobot Jazz!

Secured tightly

On the underside too!

The 'energy sword' mounted on his spoiler...weird place to put it

PIEW PIEW LAZAR KANNON!

Let's get ready to transform!

Done!


Here's looking at you Decepticon!

With power sword and shield

HAAAAAAAAAAAIYAH!

Autobot I am!

I like:

1. Fairly complicated transformation procedure compared to the old Generation One toys.
2. Well articulated.
3. Feels solid without any loose joints.
4. Automorph technology! In Jazz's case his head will automatically pop up when the whole windscreen + roof portion is pushed down to form his back.
5. Accurate colours and nicely detailed.

I dislike:

1. Minor paint problems (one of the fog lamps was smudged and there was a random orange blob near one of the headlights).
2. Slightly confusing transformation instructions especially when transforming the arms.
3. Weird place to store his energy sword in vehicle mode. On his spoiler? Er...

Overall it was great though...since it's only RM49.90. Sure brings back memories of the days when I used to play with my Generation One Transformers!
