I bought this 3 set of Voyager Class from Robot Kingdom. The price with shipping to Malaysia is almost the same price if i buy them from local shopping complex like Parkson or Isetan. The thing is, i don't have to drive, park my car and spend few minutes or hour to hunt for them. Just wait until it arrive to me & go pick them up.Lugnut is well known for his characther in Transformers Animated where he is a big and bulky decepticons. If i'm not mistaken, Lugnut appeared in Beast Wars in 1999 and he is became one of the unpopular character even introduced.But, back in 2007, he re-introduced back into Transformers Animated and became the loyal servant of Megatron. This time he came in a different big and bulky character for Decepticons. This time, eventhough with weird face and look, he became one of the popular character in Transformers Animated paired with Blitzwing and Autobot Bulkhead is his main nemesis.
I bought Lugnut together with Solar Storm Grapple and Strafe, Mindwipe repaints with more vibrant colors. Is it?
This is the 1st view of Lugnut in robo-vision view.

Same class but different size.Lugnut surely looks bigger than Highbrow eventhough they're in the same class. This is what i don't like what Hasbro's been doing so far. They like to resize the mold anyway they want them without considering what class it is. Just take a look at Highbrow, why can't just make it a bit bigger or at least, the same size of Lugnut?Anyway, i would like to rate Lugnut 9 out of 10. Why? I like almost everything of him. Bulky, looks awesome and bada$$. Can't wait to see his version in TakaraTomy United line. Hope they improve the quality this time for Lugnut.
The New Year's mode is still on i guess, so, it's not too late to say it. So, Happy New Years 2011! May we haul more Transformers in 2011 especially MP09 and the reissue of MP01 & MP05. Not to mention the upcoming Transformers United, which is already entering Malaysian market and the fucked up Malaysian Custom and SIRIM.This time i want to focus on the hot item of 2011. It entered the market late December 2010 and it deserve my review.Presenting, the neweset family in Fansproject, TFX-04, Protector or as known as Rodimus Protector.As wide spread in the net recently, this Protector is meant for Classic Hot Rod or Henkei Rodimus but since those two items are the most sought after items, i don't want to 'rape' for the purpose to combine it with the Protector. So, might as well i find the cheapest solution around, which is, the three pack, Challeneg at Cybertron, Cyclonus, Rodimus & Galvatron, white Galvatron to be exact. The price RM100 for the three pack is a totally a steal. Surely can't resist it since the Protector is coming and the cheapest solution for combining them.
Have to buy this 1 to combine Rodi with the Protector.
Cheapest in town RM100.
Box view from various angle, same old box design. Plus the accessories came with the Protector.
Rodi posed with his new Protector.
Can you guess which 1 is Protector's sidearm?
New Rodi in town looks a bit dull isn't?

Trailer with Rodi (vehicle mode)
The color is nice and awesome plus the trailer looks very futuristic. Eventhough Rodi's color didn't suit the Protector's color, still, it looks damn awesome man.
Did anyone notice this? Or did i missed this on previous Rodi mould?Combination Mode.

Protector in battle mode.Like mentioned over and over in the internet, the Protector really suits indeed in Classic Rodi OR henkei Rodi ONLY but since they molds are too expensive to open, might as well find another alternative. The alternative Rodi also not a bad choice though.Totally, i am impressed with the quality of Protector, not to mention how they can came out with such of an idea. It's did look great on Rodi and the battle mode concept also the best idea so far from Fansproject.For me, this is better than City Commander. Why? First of all, City Commander didn't have the Battle Mode station BUT instead of that, they made it transforms into the big massive gun which is for me, too big. Even the City Commander Ultra Magnus also can't hold it up in the air. What's the point, if you got big gun but can't lift it up? How on earth he's going to point the gun at someone or somebody?They should make similar gun like the Protector because it suits very well with Rodi and the battle Mode station and with the Roller somemore, they're perfectly match each others. What a combination right?This is definitely the best 3rd party product i have ever own so far. Totally a full 10 out of 10 from me because the Protector perfectly got everything inside. The Roller, the Battle Mode station and the perfect gun. For me, this is the best item in 2010 and should be in your wishlist as well. Do grab it fast before it's too late to own it.
