Nice review Trev!

I didn't know the CW one came with a poster, do you have any pics?

It's out in the shed but here is a link to a pic someone else took

I am one of those GW people...

No offense was meant mate. As I said, its how non-TF fans look at me so I know how off the mark those kinds of perceptions are

What is it anyway? Is it a card game? Is it figurines?

Thanks for that mate.

Yeah, I know it was a joke. I was just teasing

Its miniatures war gaming (and by Primus is it expensive )

Oh Tak/Tom, why do you not want me to pay off my house? Why do you keep releasing these overly-priced MP exclusives that I just have to have? Shame on you! If I was a stronger man I would resist, but since I’m not and have caved yet again, I may as well share with the public my thoughts on your latest attempt to empty my wallet – Masterpiece Thrust.

Just when you think the Combiner Wars toyline is dead, they keep chugging along with even more obscure subgroups. This time they have given us a character that you may be unfamiliar with unless you watched the Japanese G1 cartoon series Victory back in the 1980’s. A group originally named Breastforce (no I’m not making that up and yes, you are allowed to giggle) has been reborn as the Destrons (the JP name for Decepticons in general) who combine into an almighty gestalt! So here we go, a big review for a name as long as some of the old Street Fighter games, Combiner Wars Liokaiser: Platinum Edition!

Ah Inferno. So cool yet so overlooked. A gung-ho character that was either fighting fires or fighting Cons or dealing with his psychotic superior. Inferno is not considered a fan favourite by many, but I always loved the guy! The original toy was great with lots of features and was a good size for its era and he was a fun character on screen during Season 2 of the G1 cartoon (my personal favourite TF ep’s ever!) Now to appease the likes of me, Tak/Tom have brought us Masterpiece Inferno!

Excerpt from Blog: Femmebots, the slang term for female Transformers, are becoming more commonplace but are still for the most part a rarity – you can count how many get released each year without taking off your socks. Rescue Bots has been the longest running single Transformers cartoon show in history and they have finally introduced a female Autobot into their admittedly rather small ensemble. Quickshadow is a very cool character, coming across as a highly competent, British-sounding spy. Being a sportscar that turns into a female robot makes Quickshadow sound like a James Bond wet dream come to life and for those of us that like to collect female Transformers sounded like a new toy to look forward to collecting.

Unfortunately what we got is perhaps one of the worst quality Transformer toys we’ve had in years.

Excerpt from Blog: For those not familiar with the Ozformers website, some of the guys on there and I had been running a joke campaign, parodying the US election, for me to become Member of the Year. Well I actually won! So to continue the parody here is my acceptance speech, very reminiscent of one spoken by a certain new world leader.

I've been meaning to mention this for a few weeks now, but never get around to it...

I bought a Quickshadow from ToysRUs when they were first sighted there last month, and worried about it being faulty as well. But I've been transforming it (pulling out the arms and pushing them back in) dozens of times without any problems. I even took it to the Melbourne meet for others to play with, without any issues... so maybe it is a common flaw, but not a guaranteed flaw.

My recommendation for anyone wanting Quickshadow (or already has one), to look for it at a Kmart or ToysRUs (if you can get to one), and buy one. Take it out of packaging before you go home, and if it doesn't work, exchange or get a refund. If it does work and you already had one that was faulty, take it back for a refund.

The "1-step" transformations aren't completely smooth on the RB toys, as there is usually some realignment of limbs needed, but there shouldn't be any locking up of the gears (like my RB mini Heatwave dino, and RID 1-step Underbite... which were both done from trying to transform it without instructions to know what parts to move).
