The first wave of Fall of Cybertron toys started to hit our local shelves. Shockwave was wiped clean, and I find Optimus too small. So I only picked up Jazz. From all the Jazzes I saw, most of them had the Autobot logo tilted or off-centre. I only managed to find one that is somewhat straight and centre.
FOC Jazz bot mode, as usual wearing 'shades'. "Do it with style or don't bother doing it."
If you have been collecting the latest Transformers Prime toys, you will notice that the size and scale of the Deluxe-class car figures have been shrinking with the newer waves.
Below is a comparison photo of the TF Prime Deluxe-class cars I have. From Bumblebee (First Edition), Wheeljack (RID wave 1), followed by Ratchet (wave 2) and finally Knock Out and Vehicon (wave 3). Yes I'm missing Cliffjumper. Somehow not keen to get him...
The latest TF Prime RID wave 3 has finally hit our local retail shelves. The new characters in this wave are Decepticons Knock Out and Vehicon, and Autobot Hot Shot. I wasn't keen on Hot Shot as he is a recolour of Bumblebee. Good thing I managed to get the two new molds Knock Out and Vehicon on the first day they were released here!
This Evac character is created for Universal Studios Transformers: The Ride. As announced during Cybertron Con 2012 panel discussion, a Deluxe class version will be sold at Universal Studios Singapore in May 2012.
To whet our appetite, Hasbro has released a smaller Legion class version now.
Wheeljack only appeared in one episode of TF Prime season 1 (episode 8 "Con Job"). But his character proved popular enough to warrant a toy in the first wave of TF Prime Robots in Disguise.
The design of TF Prime Wheeljack is obviously based on the G1 version, with similar face and colour scheme.
