New Game Trailers!

So after my last rant on Video Games and a preview of their Trailers here's some more to look forward to:
 
Grand Theft Auto 5 showing us an in-depth Game-play!



More Assassin's Creed 4 Naval Game-play!





Arkham Origins: I don't like this w/e Copperhead Villain that they're showing off. Makes me wanna puke. It's like a lizard crawling up your @$$. Ewwwwwww But I'm definitely looking forward to playing the game tho.




Enjoy!

Transformers Go! Gaidora (Transformers Prime Lazerback)

A shiny repaint of the Hasbro version, this guy is one of the better Beast Transformers. While the Hasbro version is a Pinkish Red. This one takes the cake in bringing out the details on the figure.


In Packaging.


 Has chicken legs in Robot Mode. But then Beast Transformers always did. On this guy though, they look good.


His canon can be mounted on the back. So he's not all Claws.


The tail weapon is a good idea, but I'm never a fan of tail weapons. So let's keep that off.


A front look. I really like this one. He's bulky on the top, very Transmetalish.


Sharp feet claws!


Here's something I like the most, his Beast Mode! Looks like a Dragon/Lion combination.


The jaw opens as well.


Check this, he's got a blaster on his back, Armed to the Teeth Beast?


Quite the range of pose-ability in Beast Mode.


I guess this is how the Predacons wave Bye.

Generations Springer

Springer is a "Wrecker" and apparently a strong Wrecker. It's an Autobot unit that's well powerful and takes on the toughest missions. Springer whoops ass and he's one of them.

Lest I forget he is a triple changer.

Few shots while not exactly in many poses:


In Box


So when I picked it up, a certain someone asked me if I was going to open it, and well I did right on the spot. Good picture work yo!


This figure just works so well.


So even if he's a triple changer who turns in to a Robot, Helicopter and a Car, I thought why not add a jet pack anyway?


Minus that wing pack I added on top, is how he looks in his car mode. Pretty solid!


Shall we call this, WEAPONIZER Springer?

What's coming up in Gaming that's actually good?

Now while this post is not going to cover the entire game reveals and expectations for those who are interested in other games, it is going to include some of the MOST ANTICIPATED coming up games.

On a side note I don't find a lot of variety nowadays in gaming. The beginning of the current Generation games had some originality, then it all turned down hill with a Call of Duty, Battlefield, Alien & Zombie (Or variations of Zombie/Vampire/Alien/Mindless Creature Game titles getting pumped out every 11 months. Which are a Far Cry from the titles I'm looking forward to. (Which BTW only get made once every few years because of the complexity of work that the poor game designers have to put in them)

So why am I not including Assassin's Creed in this side rant? (This is completely unrelated to how much I love the game) Well because every year once an Assassin's Creed titles comes out, it introduces a new Era, an entire new City/Cities along with its culture (Heavily researched upon by the developers), Improved Mechanics, New Move-sets and a confusing yet acceptable Plot Twist (Along with the obvious continuing story)

Anyway let's go back to what we were here for, and that's the Game Trailers!

First of all, it's the Improved version of Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 (They call it Full Burst now) It is supposed to come with EXTRA story battles which have yet not taken place on the show yet. But they have happened in the Manga if you so care to read it.





Next we have the new Need for Speed Rivals Trailers. I much prefer the second trailer:





Now let's look at the Second Sequel of the Castlevania Lords of Shadow Game! I've been expecting this for quite sometime, and I must say I cannot wait to find out what the hell happens to Gabriel after the first game.





Here comes Assassin's Creed 4 Black Flag introducing some Pirate life this time around!





Metal Gear Solid 5, while not made to play as Solid Snake, we can still go back and play as Big Boss right? Really looking forward to this one!





Batman Arkham Origins, finally covering the years before Arkham Asylum and Arkham City Games came out. This is a blast to see The Black Mask, Deathstroke/Slade and Deadshot as one of the few Main Villains in the game. BTW Deathstroke will be a playable character so enjoy the next previews:







Watch Dogs! Why is it looking so good? Well Of-Course because it is like a Grand Theft Auto game with an amazing amount of "Stuff" to do.



Enjoy!

Transformers Prime Beast Hunter Ultra Magnus

Ultra Magnus showed up in the Transformers Prime, and he wasn't all guns blazing as people thought he would be. More of a puss compared to the Robots in Disguise Ultra Magnus. But it gave open the opportunity of another great Ultra Magnus figure.

Now this Ultra Magnus is a remold of the Transformers Prime RID Optimus Prime figure. It came with a Forge of Solus Prime (Hammer) and a Jet pack. Both of which I didn't take any pictures of.


Keep in mind that Ultra Magnus IS SUPPOSED to be a BOSS for the Autobots, other than Optimus Prime. This figure is done justice.


For those who bought EXTRA blasters like me, can now have his show accurate weapons here =P


 Now he's Magnus!


And You are in his way....

 
Till next post.

Fall of Cybertron Sideswipe Mod

Here's a Mod to make your Fall of Cybertron Sideswipe look a bit different. Basically it's just the arms flipped and switched upside down. Very easy to do.


A little something to make it look different from Jazz's figure. Both do share the same mold after all.

Fall of Cybertron Skywarp

After Fall of Cybertron Starscream was finally made in to a toy, I'm sure many of us wanted to see his brethren Skywarp and Thundercracker. Well Takara grants one wish at least and brings us Skywarp.

Many will argue that his colors are not exactly like Skywarp, that Skywarp is more Black than Grey. A little change is needed folks, get used to it.


Shiny as you would expect from a Takara version.


Plus One for the Decepticons.

Transformers GO! (Transformers Prime Beast Hunters) Shockwave

What's Transformers GO? It's a new name the Japanese are using to promote their line of Season 3 Transformers Prime Figures.

Shockwave here looks better in the shiny Purple compared to the dull one over at Hasbro. This cyclops with an arm that's a full on canon deserves nothing less.

Check it out:


Couple things that might bug you are the way his thighs move outward when you first receive him in box, but that can all be fixed if you're handy enough to punch the pins out, making it even more pose-able & sturdy.


He comes with this armor that attaches to his chest and there's 2 claws that go on his shoulders for Beast Hunting, but we all know those aren't needed. It does look good tho with that chest Armor piece on in this photo.


The choice of colors is just amazing and totally makes this figure stand out in any collection. Especially if you're looking for more PURPLE!

Now of-course all Transformers have their Alternate Transport modes, but I don't bother with transforming them. Especially if they're gonna stay as Robots on my shelf if you don't mind =P
