I like this guy. He reminds me of a better time. A time when we only had one Michael Bay movie, and it was alright. And early reviews of this figure whinged about quality issues and bits falling off during transformation. But you know what? He’s alright. Cracking sculpt, great paint apps, top alt mode, …

Prime Cliffjumper
I had the First Edition Zombie version – who’s not without his own faults. I wish I could smush him together with this guy and make the perfect Cliffjumper toy. The only thing I’d change on this guy would be the height, and the weird arms. But I love the alt mode, the head, the …
Age of Extinction Hound
I got him as a present from a very good friend, but that’s not the only reason I’ve kept him. He might not been screen-accurate, but he’s a great fun action figure. Fun articulation, and tons of guns. And a knife. I tried the TLK version – and yeah, he’s more screen-accurate, but his face …
Hunt for the Decepticons Seaspray
This is a standout figure from an excellent line which delivered some classics. An incredible-looking hoverboat (I forget the technical term) which turns into an incredible-looking nautical warrior, complete with scuba mask and fold-out flipper feet. He also integrates with the HFTD Breacher scout figure, but pretty much any scout class figure can sit on …
Classics Ultra Magnus
Another figure I’ve owned before and re-bought because the allure was too strong. I prefer this one to the Optimus version because the white colours bring out the sculpting details. Plus, in my collection he’s not really Ultra Magnus. I was tempted to just buy several of them and make them troopers pf some sort. …
Dark of the Moon Cyberfire Bumblebee
The complete flood of Bumblebee toys does have one benefit – the black repaints. The original movie 07 Camaro had that lovely stealth repaint, Prime Bumblebee had that excellent dark grey repaint, Beast Hunters Bumblebee was a stunning black Mad Max road warrior, and RID Bumblebee had a lovely Takara black repaint with a red …
War for Cybertron Siege Hound
On my first go with Siege before selling them all in a fit of stupidity, I didn’t really bond with Hound. The altmode wouldn’t stay together, his legs seemed too short, and his head wouldn’t move. Second time around, I really like him a lot. The head does move, the altmode works properly, and the …
War for Cybertron Siege Starscream
I wasn’t sure about this guy for a long time. In the perennial fashion of ‘they don’t look great in pics, but in hand you’re always proven wrong’, once I got my mitts on him, I fell in love. I don’t need Earth-based altmodes, and the tetrajet is wonderful, even if it looks like the …
