Bound Rogue by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: Bound Rogue's colours are probably his most distinct feature. And they work for him in a bizarre way, thanks to good contrast and some good choices. I'm actually glad he's not going for realism, since the mould just _isn't_ a Tasmanian Devil.

Burning Beast Convoy by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: Despite some simplification, the mould is very true to it's inspiration and there's a lot of play value for a deluxe. Burning Beast Convoy is a really nice thematic repaint, and you get a DVD in the box.

Dollar Store X-Gunner by Firestorm

Rated: G •
Summary: Review of the bootleg figure.

Liger (Mirage) by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: This is a great repaint that breathes new life into this mould. It's easily better than MW Mirage, and is a great Mirage tribute. Liger comes with an extra gun, so even if you have a previous version of this mould.

LioConvoy by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: On the one hand the robot mode is almost worth the price on it's own but on the other the lion mode has so many shortcomings you're almost buying an Actionmaster.

Quick Change Defender Robots Star Saber and Victory Leo by Firestorm

Rated: G •
Summary: Review of the Robot Masters knock-offs.

R-Blade by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: Two good modes, good colours and tremendous play value for a small toy make R-Blade a great toy. He's a terrific homage to Jetfire and the new weapon works really well.

Star Saber by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: A contrast between a poor space cruiser mode and a well done robot mode, Star Saber's real strength is in his combination with Victory Leo.

Starscream by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: Considering the limitations the designers had to work within, this is a great effort. Starscream _looks_ like his cartoon incarnation, works well as an F-15 and is more poseable than any previous versions of the character.

Transformers: Blood and Steel by Christopher Peck

Rated: G •
Summary: A Generation 1 story.

Victory Leo by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: A pretty good toy for what he is, both modes work in a G1 kind of way and Victory Leo is a walking armoury which gives him some play value. While he's a decent toy in his own right, it's the Victory Saber combination that makes this toy worthwhile.

Victory Saber by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: A fun set, and both toys are clearly designed together, so I'd strongly recommend getting both if you're after one of them. While Victory Leo gives more of himself to the combined mode, Star Saber's the one who suffers more for the cause.

Wingstun by Dirge

Rated: G •
Summary: By now a well worn mould, but I'm very pleased that Wingstun brings something new to this mould. I'd even go as far as saying that this is the best version yet thanks to the attention to detail in the paintmask.
