Generation Toy Scraper Review

Generation Toy Scraper is an homage to Transformers Constructicon's Scrapper. It's a modern design at Master Piece size. Both modes look great. I love the big ass rubber tires and bot head's light piping is be the best I've seen in any official and non-official Transfomer figure. The bot mode has a tough and intimidating look and really good articulation. On the negative side, even though thigh joints are ratcheted, they are slightly loose between the ratchet teeth. GT was able to pull off really good shoulder articulation in spite of back kibble and large shoulders (due to the wheels).

Vehicle mode is full of details, and the frotal blade is nicely articulated. Again, those big ass rubber tires add a lot to the aesthetics.

Overall Generation Toy has done a great job with this figure. Good build and materials, nice weight, height, paints, colors, and ace aesthetics. The transformation is relatively easy, but I couldn't figure out how to properly place the flaps that cover the hands in bot mode.




The arms that hold the blade (vehicle mode) have plenty of articulation.

Toyworld Iron Dreg Review

Toyworld's Iron Dreg is an homage to Transformers' Slag. I'll say right off, that it's just about as good their first release, Roar. It has a nice looking dino mode with big ass horns, and an articulated jaw. The bot mode looks damn good, and is well articulated. I'm glad the shoulders have a high lateral movement, and that it's easy to pose with hardly any balance issues. The transformation is intuitive.Only issue I had with it going from bot to dino were the knees. They have to be placed just right otherwise the back portion won't connect to the front.












The blades can be moved around to give them different look: axes or scythes.
