Obviously, a transformers collection is never complete without Optimus Prime. Without Optimus Prime surely, it is like chocolate cake without chocolate flavor. My next blogs will be about Optimus prime from the 2007 Transformers. Stay tuned.
Grimlock is the dimwit with only brawn and raw power. In its robot form, Grimlock is more where it shines, that is if you are able to overlook its short stubby arms inherited from its stubby dino legs.
Right out the package, Grimlock is in Dino mode, the mode resembles a raptor dinosaur than a T-Rex. The dino mode resembles more like a mechanize rather than a real dinosaur.
Transformers Henkei Grimlock, package is less glamourous than its cousin Transformers Classic package. The package really looks cheap. But it is more than meet the eyes.
JetFire Voyager class Tranformers classic has tonnes of gimmicks. Backpack/Booster , arm armor, gun and a battle helm.
JetFire Armaments displayed
JetFire in robot mode with armaments the beefy mode , its head is re-immagine of the takatoku macross VF-1S toy . The shame is it lacks of articulation at its joints connecting the hips and the legs.
Jetfire, perhaps is one of a favorite transfromers character which seldom given justice due to limited TV time. In this installment, we will see how Hasbro has re-imagined Jetfire in their Transformers Classic toy line. Actually, it is re-imagined based on the takatoku macross 1/55 scale VF-1S .
This review will show you that Jetfire is one of a few Transformers Classic that gives more bang to your buck.
This is just a teaser on the current review I am current working. Jetfire were bought for a long time, need to clean it up the dust on the figure. Hopefully it will be ready by this Sunday.

Transformation :
Transformation from robot mode to truck mode is perfect but the proportion of the truck is not good. On top of that it has a lot of ugly gaps. The ugly truck mode will encourage THS02 owners to refrain from transforming into the truck mode.
The only fun factor for truck mode, is the trailer can be attached to convoy.
The trailer itself can be transformed into cargo box, command center/support weapon platform and maintainance bay for Convoy.
Very bad proportioned
Trailer transformed into the command center or support heavy weapon
Convoy cooling off at repair bay
Summary :
Packs of tonnes of accessories and gimmick. Small and compact but highly pose able. Greatdetails at robot mode. Sadly poorly executed truck mode. On top of that not recommended for toddlers & big hands. Great for collectors which wants to expand Convoy collections.
Convoy in action :
Though Convoy is represented as a less than 15 cm midget, it does not lack of details & articulation. Convoy has 14 points of articulation which make it capable of multiple posing. In term of material used, Convoy contains some diecast in its chest & legs.
Not forgetting, this mini Convoy has the mini Matrix. The matrix is small, but it can be used to pose Convoy releasing the Matrix energy.
