Maketoys Rioter Despotron

Maketoys Rioter Despotron with Fansproject Intimidators and Causality - Stormbomb. Figures look well together. I miss the days when companies weren't so focused on MP style. The set is a mixture of 1/35th scale war torn building, rubble, game terrain mat and buildings. 

Wei Jiang M01 Commander - OS AoE Evasion Mode Optimus Prime

Going to keep this short. This is a big figure, thus the 'OS' as in oversize in the figure's title. It has been redefined (by Wei Jiang) with better aesthetics, paint apps, strong joints, rubber tires, diecast, and a badass weapon supply. The alt mode is a clean homage to the G1 Optimus Prime truck, and bot mode is movieverse, flame decals and all. I did quite a bit of weathering, not a ridiculous amount, but it's noticeable all around the figure. Also, I shaved down some of the ankle joints to increase the tilt range a bit. Ok, enough typing.. let the pics do the.. hmm.. talking..? You know what I mean.

Messing around. Moved shoulder flaps, and placed blades on back. Looks badass I think. 

 I painted the gold in the armpit area.

 I placed hobby kit len decals over the eyes. They're highly reflective and look best in bright surroundings. Since they're stickers, they can taken off easily.

Not a Bay TF movie basher, but this Matrix looks better.

GENERATION TOY - GRAVITY BUILDER - GT-01B MIXER TRUCK

Figure looks good, but one issue I had with it were the ankles. They could've done a better job with it as they have very limited range of movement. After a few frustrating failed attempts I finally managed to make them longer to be able to pose it more dynamically. Also, and I know I'm not alone in this, my unit came with a missing mirror. It's noticeable on the pics.

Truck mode is nice, and as with their previous release the rubber tires makes it look and feel better vs plastic. The cement mixer splits open to reveal twin blasters and there's a hole to peg in bot mode's hand blaster. Nice touch!

Transformation is easy, but I don't care much for the the back kibble in bot mode. Not that it looks bad, it's just a little on the floppy side when split open.

With the exception of the ankle joints and head Mixer has really good articulation. The overhead rocket pack moves back and side to side.

I drilled a hole in the blaster.

 Ready! Ready! Ready!
