You know what? It kinda weirds me out with these guys, seeing their screwholes plugged. I'm not really complaining or anything, since it helps their alt-mode aesthetics. But pray to god that you don't get stuck with loose joints or anything, because they're virtually un-fixable as a result.

 

Got Spyshot and Booster today. I expected Spyshot to be my favorite Real Gear, and he lives up to my expectations. Great bot mode, nice colors and articulation, cool looking limbs. I love the way the bot mode carries over a camera theme. Booster is pretty cool. I kinda figured the only reason people like him is because he's Laserbeak, and that if you ignored that aspect, he'd be a simplistic little nothing. But, he's better than I thought, with more moving parts than I thought (though thats not saying much). I like the fact that his earpiece actually has a movable clip (it actually fits on my ear!). I knew how big he was gonna be in bird mode, although I find it kind of odd just how much bigger he is than Laserbeak. He'll look pretty oversized next to MP3 Soundwave. And yet, as large as his bot mode is, his alt mode is smaller than I expected.

 

has anybody posed booster with alt jaguar ravage?

 

completed the first wave today.

speedial- since he has no personal thread (longview, spyshot and power up do, speedial, zoomout and booster do not?) this will be a bigger review than the others. his mobile phone mode is fun, and a worthy update of eject for me, abeit inn the wrong colours, but the neck loint is a biit too loose. his phonemode really has nothing special about it, making him blend into the pile of tf's and other junk on my desk rather well, and i only got him today. his tf is simple but good, so i imagine that he was made so that he could be shown to the accountants to get money for more. robot looks like he should have a couple of clones behind him-minus faces- as drones or troops in his mob. it isposable, but it sometimes takes a couple of tries to release his feet from phone mode position. plus he can wrap his claws round each other   .b+ - a screw plug fell out but while it bugs me it is not enough to take him down a grade.

power up- a new charecter on soundwaves squad called sonix for me, with his name ispired bythe brains comment in his bio. his game mode is cool, but his buttons depress at the same time which is not good for the arrowed one. the tf is a good one to have the automorph since his head could of ended up as never staying up or as never depressing if there were a spring. i pose his bot mode with the legs rotated so the hollows are out of sight. his upper aims keep popping off however since the swivels are way too tight. b-

spyshot- reflector duh. i didn't even believe his size until he was free from the box and eve then i was in disbelief. the cickyness is pure fun. the tf is mostly good but even then it does not provide reason for the splitting waist since it can be done without splitting the waist. everything is dead tight as well which is good. his bot form looks nerdy. but frankensteins monster nerdy. he is probaly ejects weapon procures, always inventing super weapons to punish sonix for not having the money for the drugs on time   . i like how it all revolves on tracks around the camera core, making it feel more pheasable. a+

 

Got Zoom Out the other day. Not as nice as Spy Shot, but better than Speed Dial. I like it.

 

Got Booster X10 today. More interesting than I thought. If only the head was poseable...

 

got zoomout and booster today. see boosters thread for him.

camcorder- i keep getting confuddled about which way to hold him,, but either way, he is hard to hold, unlike longview, who isa similarly undersized, but still easy to hold. i like how you can view through him, and overalll, i like it. b-

robot- i do not like the wings, so they stay stowed, and his screen sissors upwards so it does not extend beyone his bum. the legs and ody are awesome, even if the legs need heelspurs. his arms aren't so good though. they aren't bad in princible, but the shoulders make them look weaker than they are. for the strangestreason, i kept thinking that his claws were hinged to fold up like powerups, but in lightbof then not, i have snipped a gap inbetween them sob he can grip some thin stiff, like a comic book for example. with his monacle, he looks like the nerdy technichan. b-

overall, i like it, not as much as others, but still, get him
