Transformers Generations Thrust

Transformers Generations Thrust originally produced for Henkei Ganbo Store Exclusive in 2009 together with Henkei Dirge, retool of Henkei Classics Ramjet by TakaraTomy. When it came first out, i missed the chances or more to reluctant to buy it since the price that time kind a expensive. More than RM200 for a deluxe class Transformers.

You have to buy in pair with Henkei Dirge and the total price is around RM480, which is kinda big for me that time.

Thrust, as you know, is one of the famous conehead in Transformers G1 cartoon together with Ramjet and Dirge. He appeared in the first season of Transformers the TV series in 1984 together with Ramjet and Dirge.

Now, let's go back to our review of Transformers Generations Thrust. Produced this year, 2010, i meant retool, by Hasbro to introduce in their new toyline Transformers Generations.

For certain collectors, this is a good alternative for them as they can buy cheap deluxe class instead of going for Ganbo Exclusive Henkei Thrust. It's a retail price for deluxe class Transformers and it's darn cheap man!

Totally don't understand certain collectors, why they wanted to skipped Thrust? Are they going for the expensive one instead for the cheap Thrust? I think it's still a good mold apart it is a bit different from the exclusive's Henkei.



First look on the alternate mode, fighter jet mode.


Like the cockpit bling bling color.

Side by side with Transformers Generations Autobot Drift.

I like the mold very much because for me, it's an alternative choice to play with Thrust since the other choice is too expensive to play with. Like the bright color, the part where they retool Statscream mold into Ramjet and from Ramjet to Thrust and Dirge.

It's all together come from the same mold of Transformers Classics Starscream and it's totally cool!

A bit slack on the quality control from Hasbro as usual but still, a good mold and alternative to play with. Grab it guys while stock lasts.

Transformers Battle Blade Bumblebee

Presenting, the latest mold of Bumblebee, Battle Blade Bumblebee from 'Hunt for the Decepticons' toyline. For short, try 4B, Battle Blade BB. Nice isn't it? Like Belia 4B.

When i first saw the new BB, what came across my mind is "Another Bumblebee mold? When will they stop making more repaint of Bumblebee already?" Honestly, for this one, i'm wrong. I saw someone posted this mold with few poses and i kinda like it. Without hesitation, bought it slight higher from the toyshop's price. Didn't like because love this nold very much.

Actually, it's from the previous mold of Bumblee, Battle Cannon Bumblebee but they've changed the left arm into a Battle Blade. When i opened it, i am suprised with the advanced transformation Hasbro has done to Bumblebee. From a low expectation mold to another version of highest and awesome mold. Congratulations Hasbro! You really made my day for this entire month.

Bumblee look huge for a deluxe class toy.

Bio specs.

Help!! I want to get out of here?


Out from the small box. Nice isn't it?

Standing tall with the blade's out.

Another similar pose to the first movie, just without the blade i guess.

Side view.

Rear view. Almost the same mold of Human Alliance Bumblebee.

These 2 'toes' really gave Bumblebee a sturdy pose.

Close-up to the crotch. Long crotch this time around. Hahaha...

Close-up to the feet. Love the details.

Better watch out guys! BB came with Battle Blade this time around.

Closer looks to both arms.

Posing time!!

Good job Hasbro on Bumblebee's face this time.

Battle mask on!



Alternate Mode

Getting trouble to fit the gap near the tyre but still, nice mold though.


Right and left view.

Vroom! Vroom!

What the heck is that?

'Underworld' view.


Front views.

The Camaro looks nice and awesome.


"Houston! We have a problem"

Vote yellow Camaro for Transformers Alternity toyline.

"Look! That weird purple car again."


Absolutely 10/10 for Bumblebee mold this time. I like the robot mode very much. He got the cannon, the blade and the battle mask. The transformation also quite easy. No need to see the manual many time, once you see it, you will know how to trasnform him into alternate mode, yellow Camaro, of course.

Didn't expect deluxe class would be this great if you refer to other mold, like deluxe class Ironhide, for example. Too small for a pick-up truck, i meant it's too small man. You have to hate it. Ironhide's better in voyager class. Leave it that way. The scale must be right. How come a pick-up truck is smaller than a Camaro?

May be i'll do a review for deluxe class Ironhide in the future but for now, enjoy the review for Belia 4B, Battle Blade Bumblebee.

Please leave your comments on any review i have done. Lucky comment will get a suprise from Buy 1st Regret Later
