Transfomers RPMs - Optimus Prime

first of all, i would like to wish everybody a merry christmas and a happy holiday! for those that will be on the road during these holiday, please drive carefully ya. :)

there's a new 'truck' on the block: Transformers Robot Powered Machines (RPMs) - Optimus Prime!

got this truck not too long ago from Toy'R Us. produce by hasbro, the whole truck is made by plastic. however, i must say the design, colour and build quality of this optimus prime truck is totally awesome! i didn't even think twice to buy it even though the price is RM14.90. Infact, i'm still looking for another one! :D









i would rather not show the bottom part of the truck. lol.

on 'carded' form.


comparison between hotwheels highway hauler, both look almost the same size.

my favourite posing. lol.


i would say this truck is well worth the money even tough it's made from plastic. a little bit of touch up to the plastic part will certainly made it look even more gorgeous! howabout a wheels swap with hw real rider rubber wheels? hehehe.

there are a couple of other cars/truck that came together with this, from my memory they are bumblebee, ironhide, sideway and long haul. however only this optimus prime catches my eye at the moment. perhaps i'll get the other one later.

imagine if this where to be produced by mattel in howtwheels diecast, it will be even more hotter that the dairy delivery!

Transfomers ROTF - Buster Optimus Prime (Takara Tomy)

i have heard from some other transformers collector that buster prime is a pretty one, but never that i thought it is so awesome! seriously, the quality and paint is one level up from the previous release of ROTF prime. below are comparison between the buster prime and previous release prime.





in this version, almost all (yes i really mean almost all!) of the grey plastic parts being repaint with metalic silver. even those blue and red colour looks like metalic too. you won't get the 'plasticky' feel anymore with this version compare to the previous one.

perhaps the only complain i have about this kit is prime ugly mouth. haha. wish they covered it just like the first prime release.

awesome truck mode.


perhaps my pic doesn't justify or bring out the detail or the metalic feel of this kit. but trust me this kit is so awesome that i feel want to get another one as spare to keep. hehe. even if you are not really a transformer collector, i would highly recommend you to get this babe before it's out of stock and also before the price 'kena goreng' (price jack up). after all, it's still Optimus Prime. :D

Transfomers ROTF - Recon Ironhide, Decepticon Bludgeon, Alliance Bumblebee

some new transformers releases from hasbro is out recently. basically this time around is the N.E.S.T Global Alliance series. believe it or not, i 'googled' and couldn't find what is the meaning of N.E.S.T. there where a lot of speculation and guessing of the meaning of it, but there is still no official answer to that.

below is what i bought.



Recon Ironhide (Voyager Class)

one of my favourite characthers in Transformers. originally release in ROTF in grey colour, now in black color with white stripe. i prefer it without that white stripe though. this time ironhide came with additional cannon, machine gun and blades. totally commando style!

Decepticon Bludgeon (Voyager Class)

i bought this because of it's cool robot mode - samurai with long katana. samurai worrior is one of my all time favourite character.

Alliance Bumblebee (Deluxe Class)

i couldn't find any reason i bought this other than it's because of it is.... bumblebee. lol.

there's not much difference between this bumblebee and the first ROTF release bumblebee. below pic shown the first ROTF release bumblebee (left) and alliance bumblebee (right). can you spot the different?
