I just got my salary!<\/p>\n


\nHappy mother’s day I say. I got her an SUV.<\/p>\n


\nOf course, the flashy Mugen Honda S2000 is my new favorite. I’ve only seen one S2000 in Malaysia, plus Mazda RX-8s are too common.<\/p>\n


\nOkay so it’s a two-seater and it’s a convertible, not exactly practical in Malaysia.<\/p>\n


\nSo I itched and made my RX-8 a convertible too.<\/p>\n


\nMeet Decepticharge<\/b>, a new release from the Transformers Alternators series. He’d jab you if only his fists weren’t swapped!<\/p>\n


\nWell, nothing a positive head with a positive-head Philips screwdriver can’t fix.<\/p>\n


\nHe is a skinny-legged top-heavy warrior. You gotta dig how he folds the bonnet to his back, instead of him lugging his car shell with him.<\/p>\n


\nLeft to right: Tracks<\/a>, Decepticharge, Meister<\/a> (who starred in Fazri’s Guessing Game<\/a>)
\nNow, if you don’t have a Honda S2000, which one should you get? The spanking new dirty yellow Decepticharge, or the classic Autobot red Windcharger? Windcharger, I say; Decepticharge’s color tones are uneven from painted roof to door to floor. The sporty decals are fictitious and don’t look as appealing as Smokescreen’s. The bonnet (engine cover) is painted black, a retro scheme. I should have followed my instincts (humans have them, use it!) and bought a red Windcharger instead of the spanking new Decepticharge in the shop. Immediately you can see that the door and roof seams are nowhere as nice as Windcharger’s (maybe the color hides it). I couldn’t get it to align properly.<\/p>\n


\nTransformers Energon Powerlink<\/i>ing Ironhide<\/b> however was a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n


\nHis legs can be extended to match the height of a gestalt (combiner).<\/p>\n


\nPowerlink Optimus<\/b> (Energon Hotshot below): Hey I think you got on backwards.
\nYes it’s true; big Powerlink dudes can Powerlink with small Powerlink dudes. Though big guys shouldn’t be on top or you get Optimus Primal’s big-armed syndrome.<\/p>\n


\nThat’s more like it. Small arms but it looks much more massive.<\/p>\n

Added 6 hours later: Ironhide’s turret head can be removed, so he looks like a proper SUV! Rejoice, YK<\/a>!<\/b><\/p>\n


\nThe big family: Left to right: Tracks, my hybrid combiner<\/a>, Ironhide, Powerlink Downshift (with Rodimus underneath).<\/p>\n
