Transformers posting alt of @raiyuki-hime.bsky.social
Last post of the year most likely. Just sharing the last TF set I’ve been enjoying.
Happy New Year everyone; may the coming year be filled with more fun and wonderful experiences.

So one final update I wanted to give; I got an email Thursday that Hasbro was shipping out a replacement Jetstorm and sure enough I got an unbroken Jetstorm today, sooner than expected.
Bit scared to pull the tailfin over this time; I don’t think this is fixed or altered in anyway.

Wanted to share this; two days ago I decided to contact pulse about my broken Jetstorm. IDK how hopeful I should be or what responses are usually like but the wording here seems like they’re aware of the problem in general given it seems to imply replacement Jetstorm specifically

Just cuz it’s all in, felt like sharing my Black Friday haul (plus stuff I had stashed at TCP) and my birthday haul last month (plus ebay stuff that came that day).
Sadly one of these has turned out to be a disappointment but mostly exciting stuff imma enjoy.

Kinda delayed but of course who would Prime be without Megatron? It’s great years later to finally be able to put these molds together. While the in film heights differ more as a pair these two are perfect.

2007 Megatron with MPM1 Starscream, his ever unfaithful right hand bot.
It’s kind of funny how Megatron feels a bit puny in comparison but they still work well enough together.

2007 Megatron and MPM8. Seeing the two obviously highlights the improvement time and a bigger budget yield yet also just how well the 07 toy captured Megatron in a line where accuracy was far from universal. Also
amusing is how folding the wings to the back carried over.
November 18, 2025 at 6:08 AM
Also obligatory: 2007 Movie Leader Megatron. The first movie toy I had. Despite the undercarriage I always thought this alt mode was quite cool; it takes some liberties but still captures the onscreen one pretty well. There is some tight clearance for getting the back in place.
November 18, 2025 at 1:20 AM
Naturally I gotta also compare this to the ROTF mold, in this case the Jetwing bot. While the 07 alt mode is good the ROTF is cleaner and I’m certain more accurate to the real truck. I do love the 07’s comically oversized wheels though; there’s something charming about em.

Tribute Leader Optimus Prime: My first experience with the mold in semi bustery chrome goodness. I think for 07 this was amazing and the chromed parts really shine in more ways than one.

Today’s my birthday which made it perfect timing to get these in the mail. The Space team is one I do have but getting stuff from my childhood packaged has been a goal of mine to bring it up to the rest of my collection. But the main draw here was absolutely the Road Assault Team

Welp; the good news is I managed to get the tailfin over his head seamlessly; the bad news is that piece is fully cracked instead.
November 15, 2025 at 7:44 AM
Whatever my criticisms I’m still excited to have this in hand. I didn’t realize as well till that Nemesis is packed holding the Star Saber; presentationwise that’s pretty cool (should have been the Dark Saber though).

I’m glad this exists and I love the simple solution of tooling the head to point forward in alt mode as well as the silver insignias nodding to the unpainted ones the old toy had. I do wish the feet had the blue paint apps of the original tho but still.

Universe 2008 Vector Prime
Bit of an odd release just being himself but the black is very fetching and I can’t help but like the bright blue paint bits too as well as the painted sword. I would have preferred Safeguard in black but the brown works I suppose.
November 14, 2025 at 8:56 PM
Studio Series Cogman: I’ve long held this is one of the best TR toys despite not even being in that line. I love the realistic alt mode and especially the interior with two seats with a solidly sculpted headmaster. Also love the dark plastic; glad I skipped the TLK for this one.
November 12, 2025 at 1:32 AM
More stuff I’ve put away for now:
Energon Demolisher, Snowcat, and Starscream. All very fun molds ; Starscream and Demolisher especially are absolutely stellar.
November 11, 2025 at 10:15 PM
Armada Powerlinx Thrust and Inferno, Hasbro NA release and Toy Dreams “USA Edition” Takara release.
I quite like both of these. I do prefer the red one but the Dirge colored NA release is still nice and unique and I’m glad it exists.
November 10, 2025 at 7:55 PM
Three Dirges I had out and about.
I’ve come to really like how NA Powerlinx Thrust got repurposed like that officially at some point. I’ve always had a soft spot for Dirge.
November 10, 2025 at 6:29 PM
Tangentially related since I had em out at once: Superlink Micron Boost Vol. 2 Seeker, Effect, and Blitz. I quite love the bright blue and red colors of this set and it’s my second favorite the team has had.

Part 4: Comparisons
Alt modes first.
November 4, 2025 at 10:35 PM
Part 3: Superlink Windcharger (Microns given out via promos I know little about). Was gonna make this post sooner but laziness kicked in.
November 4, 2025 at 9:10 PM
Part 2: The Superlink Micron Booster Volume 2 team that forms Frenzy

Finally getting around to packing some stuff back but a quick review of these little guys: The Energon Perceptor team, the timeskip forms of the Street Action teams (will review them another time).
