A long overdue post; Transformers!<\/p>\n


\nTransformers Alternators Mirage<\/b>, who is a Ford GT.<\/p>\n


\nMirage with Grimlock (who transforms into a 2006 Ford Mustang GT.)<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, for some 1:18 scale knockoffs; a Toyota Celica and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX.<\/p>\n


\nToyota family, left to right: MR2, Supra, Celica, Land Cruiser<\/p>\n


\nThe knock-offs have more detachable kibble, and weapons that light up. Respect to them Chinese imitations!<\/p>\n


\nArgh the light!<\/p>\n


\nBack to originals: Transformers Cybertron Excellion (which is homage to Hot Rod) and Transformers Energon Powerlink Rodimus.<\/p>\n


\nExcellion is a handsome robot, yes he is, next to clunky Rodimus.<\/p>\n


\nI also found the rare Transformers Cybertron Soundwave. He even has a catridge-loading mechanism!<\/p>\n


\nStealth fighter jet, he now is.<\/p>\n


\nHis catridges transform into two weapons, and…<\/p>\n


\nLaserbeak!<\/p>\n


\nThere are also mini versions of Excellion and Soundwave, with limited articulation, of course.<\/p>\n


\n“Hey I’m parking here!<\/i>” (Mini Excellion in Transformers Alternators Sideswipe, a Dodge Viper, to mini Soundwave in Transformers Alternators Windcharger, a Honda S2000.)<\/p>\n


\nThe token cheesy fake-background shot.<\/p>\n


\nTransformers Classics Astrotrain points his rifle at the Takara reissue of Astrotrain. (I thought this was the only Transformers Classics release worth getting so far.)<\/p>\n


\nThey both transform into space shuttles… (spot the rubsigns!)<\/p>\n


\n…and trains! I prefer the original Astrotrain’s steam-engine train design though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
