Clean Optimus

Be Cool! The Japanese version of BotShots. How cool could it be? How about making Optimus Prime a garbage truck? That must be the coolest idea ever...
Anyway, this guy is called Clean Optimus. At the first glance, I thought Takara Tomy again repaints OP in blue and white as Ultra Magnus, but he indeed is Optimus! No excuse to skip it, OP fans!

Nice package as always.

Even have an inner package

Garbage Truck mode

Robot mode

Instead of paper, scissors, stone, Clean Optimus got "Cleaning",

Loading trash!

and, Moving trash!

The Optimus team

Transform!

Generations Springer

Yet another high quality TF figure comes, Generations Springer! The figures in 30th anniversary series are really nice. They caught my eyes when they were shown in the toys expo. Both triple-changers, Springer and Blitzwing, look good, but I picked only Springer because he is way better. Maybe one of the best TF figure in these 2 years. Well done, Hasbro!

Why Hasbro always cut a corner in the package?

Helicopter mode

Car mode

The 2010 couple?

Robot mode

Remind our G1 memory.

Springer is a very enjoyable figure. I can say this is a must-have! Don't miss it when you find him in your local toys store.

SD Pink Lady

The 4th episode of Pink Lady series, super deformed Arcee! I made this post just because Kre-o micro-changer Arcee is out. I do have 3 SD Arcee, Myclone, Kre-o and Robot Heroes (the double pack with Rumble), but I forgot where I put the Robot Heroes one... So this time only the oldest one and the newest one are presented.

Myclone is already 10 years old...

Arcee looks so kind in the past...

Kre-o Arcee

I didn't have the chance to get Kre-o Arcee from Toysrus. She came from online auction site, so the package was gone...

Vehicle mode

She looks so fierce now...

The rivals.

Fortress Maximus

The TF every fan dreamed to own one, Fortress Maximus, finally comes back! The Encore re-issue makes everyone's dream come true! When I was a kid, I didn't even have the chance to touch a Fortress Maximus figure. Now, I can get one in my collection. You can tell my satisfaction! Hope you enjoy this little gallery.

The package is same as G1, except the Encore label and No.23

Since the box is so big, there were some damage during shipment. And I got mine from the toy store in a rainy day with heavy thunderstorm...

The memorable boxart. Where is Weirdwolf?

Haven't seen the form box for long long time! Fortress Maximus is just too heavy!

I will not apply the stickers. They will be torn off one day...

I like Encore series, which comes with old school bio card.

Cerebros

Who's this guy? A toy-only character?

Head on!

Oops!

I'm the one with all MAX ratings, Fortress!

Fortress Maximus!

Fortress Sword!

Battleship Maximus

Like all other headmasters, there is a seat in Battleship Maximus for Cerebros.

Maximus City

I forgot the radar part in the previous pics...

Though the plastic quality is not very good in this re-issue, I'm very satisfied with this Encore Fortress Maximus. There are so many diecast parts! I'm not a diecast freak, but this just tells what Chogokin is! As a toy, the battleship mode sucks. But the city mode is awesome. The gimmicks in city mode are very fun. I like the elevator and push-button start. I can understand 20 years ago, how happy the kids are when playing City Maximus with other small TFs. Robot mode is just HUGE. It is sad that I don't have enough space to set Fortress Maximus for display. He returns to the coffin and stays in my storeroom again... I'll let him out one day!
