Don't worry, no blocks of text, or reviews just a place to chill and discuss Transformer toys. Old and new.
So.... I just bought Animated Blurr and.... wow. He's thin! Not that his Cartoon counter-part was a heavy-weight, but he's a near stick-figure in Toy-form. Especially the legs (And they're long as well, but that might just be because the bulk of his kibble is on his upper body). He'd fit right in with the Winx girls with his body proportions, and if it wasn't for the face, I'd almost say he's female.
This, however, isn't negative. Blurr's a speedster, THE speedster in Transformers-lore, and this body helps convey that. Not only the thin-ness but the sharp angles as well. Aerodynamics ho! I also like his weapon (A shield/saw hybrid), and would love to have seen it in the cartoon. To bad that will never happen *Sob* poor Blurr

I'm going to say three things about my toys Armada Prime in his super mode is a ****ing joke. The trailer looks so fake. It looks like rubbage from the back, thakn god they never show it from the back in the cartoon. Armada Unicron is the hardest thing to change, ever. Takes me about 10 mins to put him in planet mode. And heavy. And I cut myself on one of his spikes. And 99.99999%^2 of the time when he is in robot mode I pop off his shell/wings and.. ring thing because, well, they don't look like wings. I hate repaints Oh, and I want to make a slide show with my figure to this music.. Epic

Well, that is good. Because I have 8/10 of the Armada figures, no repaints though, and only 1 figure from energon, Scorpanok.

Anyway, I am going to write up a short review on the Armada Prime-Jetfire-Overlord connection. Links are here, not mine. Just for refrence  Worst robot mode ever. EVERYTHING relies on two pivots that connect the chest/front half of the vehicle to everything. With enough elbow grease, you can pop the thing into three big parts. Oh, and I lost the minicon. I looked for it for about two hours. I KNOW I had it before I filmed Prime V Mouse, the SAME day >.<  Again, this entire toy is full of .. .. gimmicks? The exhaust guns are transparent because his hand in super form is supposed to light up. Lame. And whenever you move it, it sends an inferred light to the trailer to transform into the legs. I removed batteries. Almost NO articulation. At all.  The gimick here is that he is a head master. His minicon IS his head. So basically you can have a truck driving around with a giant ****ing head. Looks super funny. Not only that, the robot mode is cool, too. Need to get ahead in a race?  Need to get a bigger head in a race???  Prime & Jetfire is very cool.  Mainly because compared to super prime with trailer skirt mode, you have SOME articulation in the legs. And they can be spread apart. I think Jetfire was designed with this in mind. Screw robot mode, his place in the Autobot army is as a pair of legs. And besides for the ... .. crotch fists.. This is good. Prime-Jetfire-Overload is rubbage  Because of many things. First of all, have you ever heard of top heavy? The thing wants to fall down every time! If the feet were bigger, like Unicrons (which stick out siz inches behind him) it would be okay. But.. no. Articulation? The only articulation you are going to get are from the elbows. Anything more and they will fall apart. Ease to put together? Well, Overload doesn't fit into Prime's back unless you take a piece off of Jetfire. Coolness factor? Amazing  And on another note, I watched a Unicron review and found out how to put the planet kibble in place in robot mode. It looks cool, and is fragile as hell. I still wasn't able to transform it WITH the stuff on, and any type of serious movement will make them pop off..
