With thanks to the coolest Catilla on the block, Monsieur Loophole, lookee what arrived this week.

Ahhh I'm so very excited to have these toys!! The colours on Breakdown are so unusual to see on a Transformer but they work and he just looks **** hot. His head sculpt is fantastic with an expression that's just charged with emotion, you can really see the pain in the face of this troubled character. I'd forgotten how much I enjoy the Rodimus mould transformation, especially "un-breaking" his ankles for robot mode. Would love to have seen Breakdown snapping his legs into place in a TFA episode or two...So cool.

Another favourite, The Motormaster, is similarly impressive and manages to look quite unique despite sporting the over-used Voyager Prime mould. Again, the head sculpt is a real triumph and compliments the equally angular chassis perfectly. After reading Toxitron's bio (which for all characters is presented on cardboard just like the G1 toys!!) this might not be the last of the Voyager Prime mould either as it makes mention of a Nemesis Prime in the TFA universe. Another one to look forward to at some point hopefully!

The bio's are all really fantastic and go a long way towards making you appreciate these awesome characters even more. I could go on all day about this years Bot Con toys but I'll leave it at that for now. Suffice it to say, if you're a huge TFA fan you need these in your collection! Sell a kidney if you have to
