I have mixed feelings on the Legacy G1 figures in the Titans Return line. Once again Hasbro is mixing masters by turning Scourge, a Targetmaster, into a Headmaster/Titanmaster. The end result is a figure that looks fantastic in vehicle mode, but seems just off in robot mode. Not even the more cartoon accurate paint from Takara will help Scourge's robot mode. Overall Titans Return for vehicle mode, but Generations for Robot mode.

Let's go back to the past

Tricerashot is one of the first, single packed, Weaponizer Minicons. It transforms from a Triceratops into a sweet looking tri-barrel blaster. The armor bits work well with the figure but, like a lot of the RID Minicons, some armor bits are tighter and looser, than others. Hopefully these start showing up en-mass at retail soon.

Got the review up for MakeToys Battle Sentinel which uses the new Gento Core bot. Pretty cool stuff. Click the link or pic below for the full video/written/pictorial review: http://kumastyledesigns.com/maketoys-battle-sentinel/ Here are a few pics from it:

Is it fruit, or a Combiner Wars box set? Find out as Death goes over all six figures in the G2 Bruticus Box set! The Combaticons are the latest CW figures to get an ugly 90s makeover, with perhaps the loudest combos of them all! Is this repaint-o-rama worth your money? It might be - just for another Legends Shockwave! But watch and find out for yourself, then subscribe to Death and prove how COOL you are!

Hardhead was one of the original Headmasters introduced during the Rebirth miniseries. I've always felt a closer connection to the US fiction than the Takara version, where the smaller robots were the characters who combined with transforming vehicles. Takara as usual has enhanced the experience with a cartoon accurate deco and face, while including a repainted Titan Master vehicle to round out the pack. The Legends set is the better value but may be harder to find at this point.

Spoiler, I like both of them but click to see why.
