Transformers Movie 2 Voyager - MIXMASTER Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Mixmaster is a mix of sorts:
It's a GREAT toy... but it's not big!
PROs:
-Alt (truck) mode is very solid and has a lot of detail like clear plastic headlights and windows, separately molded window mirrors (not even big Leader Optimus has his mirrors made as separate pieces from the doors), lots of molded-in detail and the already mentioned moveable pouring scoop. Proportions are very good also.
-Paint application is scarce but really there was not much to paint in the first place. It's limited to the silver on the wheels, decepticon insignia on the hood and the mixing drum, plus the big purple decepticon insignia on the drum. Also the red-white stripes on the sides are a nice touch.
-Robot mode is very accurate to the concept art (I've posted a comparison picture), but even better is the wide range of articulation that this toy has. Each arm alone has about 7 points of articulation!
The cannon can be placed either on its back or on top of its head to recreate the final battle scenes (or at least his final battle scene).CONs:
- This toy is from a Voyager line, and therefore supposed to be bigger, like Ratchet or Ironhide. But it's small...
- Some joints are a little bit loose. The toy won't fall apart, but will need some support to hold some poses (in my pictures, the arms are being supported by its knees!). The panels on its feet are designed to fall apart instead of break, and will do so very frequently.
- "Kibble" is present in the form of the whole cab forming the robot's buttocks.
- I didn't even bother with the "third mode". It doesn't appear in the movie and looks silly.
- This is my fourth transformer toy (and the third one from the movies) that has been assembled wrong IN THE FACTORY. Usually the problem is hard to see, like a little piece or joint put backwards.
- The instruction sheet has the arrows poiting the wrong way in one step of the arms transformation. You can find some videos on the web that will help much more.
So, between the three currently released constructicons - Voyager Demolishor (who's got Scavenger's colors, by the way), Deluxe Rampage and Voyager Mixmaster, this one is THE BEST and the one I would recommend.
(Note that at this time, Long Haul is still a future release and there's no word about Scrapper)
Demolishor and Rampage are very hard to pose. The first one has one big wheel instead of feet and the second is a monopod. Mixmaster then gets two feet up! (Just because he's got no thumbs)

Transformers Movie 2 Deluxe Autobot Wheelie Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wheelie is one smartass bot with attitude that is excellent all around!Wheelie dosen't have all the heavy weaponary like his fellow transformers,but makes up for it in character.The symbol in the middle of his chest can change to either autobot or decepticon to please whatever mood your in.Wheelie has outstanding detail in robot mode with realistic features in the arms torso,and head piece.The RC Truck mode is very realistic as well with a very solid build.The poseability is awesome with Wheelie being able to assume many different poses for battle scenes or displaying him where you please.The durability is excellent as well with a very solid transformation where all parts fit very securely together and Wheelie being able to handle any situation that may arise.The transformation level is advanced meaning if you have plenty of experience with transformers there is mid-level difficulty.If you are a parent buying for a child of 5-6 or younger you might have to help some in the process.Honestly Wheelie is very versatile for all ages with a managable transformation that can be learned easily.To start off the arms rotate so the palms are facing out while the shoulders are rotated up and the hands are folded in.The upper wheels then rotate out while the top part of the cab is formed by bringing together the two side sections of the torso.The head then folds down with the eyes coming together to end up forming the tailgate,next the arm sections fold in to create the bottom section of the cab while the flaps on the legs fold down.The legs form the front of the RC Truck by folding in,swinging out while closing the feet pegs together,then rotating back in again.Wheelie is a great transformer that all ages can enjoy.Bottom line Wheelie is a high quality,well-made 10 out of 10 transformer all fans should treasure.I highly recommend ROTF Wheelie to all transformer fans and collectors alike.Wheelie Rocks and Transformers Rule!!!

Transformers Movie 2 Power Bots - Bumblebee Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son LOVES this transformer toy. It does NOT transform but he does not care. The other toys that transform just cause frustration for him since they fall apart. My son plays with the neighbor boys who have Optimus and Megatron and they have a blast. Worth every penny!

Transformers Deluxe Ravage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As all Transformers G1 fans know..when Soundwave needs some recon work to be done..he usually calls on Ravage.
Now with Transformers: Revenge of the fallen, we get to see Michael bay's take on Everybodys favorite Decepticon Kitty.its a interesting look ...it has that alien quality that the films are going for, but with the G1 series Influence.
Hasbro/takara's version is spot on to the movie version. Ravage has snapping jaws (love those!) pretty good poseability, and has his trademark hip mounted weapons. the tail is poseable to a degree also.
his re-entry mode is interesting, but for me the alien panther/jaguar mode is the tops .
if you have purchased the movie Soundwave...you should pick up his counterpart..ravage.
Pros..
its ravage!
Movie accurate detail.
Cons...
Ravage has that one eye...why not give him 2 eyes to match him up more to his g1 days? this is just a minor thing, because it works on screen.
i would have liked them to have him growl (cmon its ravage after all) but that would have probably made him more expensive i guess.
over all The Movie version of ravage figure is a great buy.
hes sort of hard to find..i was on my lunch hour and went to wal-mart where they were stocking the shelves..and i got the last one..i found out that some cases dont even have him...if you see this bad little kitty..pounce on him!
GRRRRR GRRRRR GRRRR

Bulleting down through the atmosphere at better than 15 times the speed of sound, RAVAGE considers the data he has already amassed on the small, soft creatures that inhabit this planet. They seem weak and fragile, yet they are the ones that destroyed MEGATRON®. That is a fact he will keep in mind as he penetrates their most sensitive installation. Against such an unpredictable enemy, stealth will be his watchword. Recreate exciting movie scenes or stage your own living room battles with this DECEPTICON® defender! Convert this fierce-looking figure from panther mode with snapping âjawâ to reentry mode â and gear up for hours of battle excitement!
