Bumblebee (Takara-Tomy - Canon Bumblebee)

I find this Bumblebee to be pretty awesome. Those canons look menacing. I never liked Bumblebee the character. Find it rather childish. But this Bumblebee sure looks pretty awesome. As a robot, Bee sucks arses. That is why I don't bother to transform it to robot mode.

Batman & Joker.

Bang! Batman and Joker. Eye to eye.

Joker - Batman Hush (6-inch DC Direct)

This is a pretty cool old-skool Joker. Purple suit, make-ups and all. Comical, yes. But then again, this is the Joker. I like the details on the evil grin on the face and wavy hair. Bang! Bang! You're dead.

Ravage - Custom Repaint (Hasbro)

Ravage kicks arses. You'll know this by now.

I am upset with Hasbro's rendition of Ravage. Black? That is stupid. So, I got myself a custom repainted version of Ravage. Just like in the movie. Stealth and deadly.

Optimus Prime - Custom Repaint Desert Battle-Damaged (Hasbro - Movie Leader)

This is a custom-repainted Optimus Prime. I never liked a clean shiny Prime. Just don't do justice to a punk-rock of a leader robot. Prime needs to be in battle. In fact, Prime needs to be so hardcore that Mama Prime does not even recognise Optimus Prime. That is why I've sold all my clean Primes (for a profit) except for the legendary Masterpiece.

Anyway, this Prime is so busted-open that Mama Prime has trouble recognising him. This battle-damaged Prime is so brutal from the desert battle war and he is ugly, dirty and pretty much pissed-off. I like. Didn't even bother to transform Prime. Because getting busted-open in robot form is way cooler than being a beat-up truck.

Battle-damaged Prime rules!

Ravage (Hasbro 1983)

This is one weird story. I basically like only 3 characters from Transformers, be it the cartoon or movies. Optimus Prime, Barricade and Ravage. I'm going to talk about Ravage now.

I had my Ravage toy, from way back. I remembered it clearly. Black panther transforming into the cassette. That was probably my first toy, together with the M.A.S.K vehicle. Anyway, for years, I knew I had it. Just can't remember where I left it.

When the Transformers fever reached its peak when the 1st movie came out a few years ago, I went back to my childhood home trying to find the toy. To no avail. Drawers, boxes, cabinets. Damn, the whole house was turned upside down. Probably I threw it away. I remember I lost the cassette box.

A few weeks back, when I went back to my childhood home again, I accidently found it. Yeah, for so many freaking years. Freaking f***ing years. I found it. And I didn't even go looking for it. It was somehow wrapped in some plastic bag and was found sandwiched by some old magazines. Thanks to my metal/rock magazines.

This is the Hasbro 1983 release of Ravage. Not it its best condition. But still a beast to be reckoned with.
