Revenge of the Fallen Bludgeon

There were two Bludgeon figures that came out in 2009. This is one of those two. With the Head & Weapons upgrade he looks much much much better. Let's start off with some pictures of him without any upgrades.



This here is the poor guy without any upgrades. Still looking sweet tho.


 These are the upgrade armor pieces.


On the Left: Tank mode with the upgrade.
On the Right: Tank mode with-out the upgrade.


Now with Armor on.


Shiny Swords hm?


Yes both hands can hold the weapon together.


The "Bad-ass Pose"


The sword is sorta sharp.


 "What'd you say about my sword?"


A great piece.

Fall of Cybertron Ultra Magnus

Didn't I post this guy a few weeks back? Yes, I did but that was a different version. Anyway let's just enjoy the new pictures.


"We are Autonomous Robotic PREGNANT organisms from the planet Cybertron & you may call us Magnus-ES!!!" 
 
 

Yes I do have many guns of the FOC Optimus Prime mold. OK not THAT many, but a fair amount to even out the Fire Power!


Now witness the power of ARTICULATION! IN EXTREME FLASH!


Dance Move?


The PRIME pose?


The sword ain't just for slicing butter.


I call this "The Block Move" 


Cold and Concentrated?


This is just cool, the shield works so well.


And this move is called "The Butter Slicer" even tho I don't think his sword is for Butter Slicing.


"DY--NAMIC--ENTRY!"


Last cookie, Ta Ta!

Transformers Prime Hasbro & Takara Version of Rumble & Takara Frenzy

No idea who this guy is right? Soooooo G1 right? Nah, just kidding! Rumble is one of Soundwave's minions that are supposed to be either in his chest at all times or they're well AVAILABLE to help him almost all the time. I will not get in to a giant explain which involves the history of the character. Just enjoy the figure no?

However This is the Hasbro version is NOT BAD for a Hasbro figure, a bit boring on his color scheme I'll admit. He comes with 2 guns that make this figure stand out. But not so much till you compare it with the Takara Japanese version. Why's that? Well the Takara version brings a lot of cool paint apps. While the Hasbro one stays a dull blue color.

I will not be posting pictures of their vehicle modes as they matter very little to the figures that're going to be displayed in robot mode.

1. Anyway without any more further explanations, Hasbro version is first:


I don't like the shoulder bits either, but they do look cool in their own way.


And quite pose-able indeed.

2. Now the Takara (Japanese version) Rumble:

So what's the difference eh? First of all the Takara version comes with a different head. Instead of 2 black blasters like the Hasbro version up there, it comes with an Arms Micron (Arms Micron = Minicons that turn in to weapons). But guess what? It comes with only ONE. But if you buy Takara Frenzy (whom I'll show at the end) You can then get another Arms Micron,as he comes with the same one.

Enough rambling, let's get you to see the Takara Rumble:


The "Cool" Blue.


Dual Arms Micron Guns.
 

He can Dance!


"Hey! You there!"


For those of you who thought these weapons look like pile-drivers, Oh please as if they could work that way on this figure. Bottom line: Stop imagining G1 =P


Yeaaaaa wash that car!

2. Takara Arms Micron (Japanese version) Frenzy:

Right so what the hell? Why do these guys look alike? Due to some G1 germs still present, they're brothers.
Well this is Frenzy.


I do think they should have done some light red for the Black parts and some Maroon Red for the normal paint scheme, but still it doesn't look bad.


I went and took Hasbro Rumble's Canons so this guy could be well armed. Poor Hasbro Rumble became a junker.


These guns look more like Gatling guns to me.


Brothers...in....Arms...How Gay HaHa!

1/144 GN Flail/Chain Mace Virtue Gundam


Well This Virtue is not exactly What I'll show you at the end. Well let's just get these pictures out of the way and watch out for the Giant mistake and then the downfall & RISE back up of this kit.
 

 Uh "Not yet assembled" mode?
  

Those Black bits on his shoulders are part of his backpack that turn in to bazookas, the bazookas extend as well and they can also be held in hand.


 There's also a giant hand rifle/bazooka that comes with this guy as a bonus for fire power buuuuuuuuuut now on to HOW HE LOSES ALL THAT!



Back view. And before I continue this post any further, pay attention to the back, see that back pack?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's where things go sour, while I was sealing parts of the gundam, I sealed parts that had articulation or rather movement and they weren't supposed to be sealed. Sooooooooooooo I got impatient, I thought I had extra parts to replace it so I went off and literally RIPPED the plastic in two. Which part? the Black shoulder back pack part.

 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So what do I do right? I mean I'm missing a giant part of the kit and well, thanks to me ripping it apart I can't put it back on the gundam and then there's the poor Gundam left without any decent Fire Power.......So an idea came to mind: "Why not give it that Gundam Mace I picked up from a buddy for Gundam parts? and have him be the Flail Mace guy?"

  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




It worked!!!!!!!!! And now he looks totally awesome. The loss of his back pack is no biggie anymore due to him beign a custom Gundam now. However, I ended up getting ANOTHER Virtue Gundam to build later so I can have a COMPLETE Virtue.
