Not Too Subtle

Mon, 3 Mar 2003 19:14:57 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Demolisher and Blackout are the first Transformers armada pack and I bought and are still one of the most impressive. Both are futuristic looking tank vehicles with matching colour schemes made up of mostly red with a desert camoflauge and some silver...

Evil power hungry Decepticon, bent on total domination

Fri, 28 Feb 2003 17:27:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Of all the first run toys in the Armada Transformers line, Megatron was the one I wanted most.He's got an excellent vehicle mode (a tank, what's better to pulverize the good guys)with great detail and he transformes into an awsome looking robot. He...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Like all the Robots in Disguise transformers Wedge was either previously released in the Transformers 2000 line in Japan or originally intended to be released with the Beast Machines line. Wedge was the later. The version I own is actually from the...

He'll make Jabba nervous

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - so this is the Samurai Wars version of the clown, excelent. Dojo is a little shorter than the other figures from the Samurai Wars figures(not including Jakuu)if you don't count the horns on his helmet. But he's also about twice as wide and he's got a...

Faster than a speeding ticket

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - When the three brothers showed up at Toys R us a didn't plan on buying Prowl. the Car mode looked great but there wasn't an actual picture of the toy in robot mode for me to see. The illustration on the card made the toy look pretty lame. This is...

GO.......Bots!

Fri, 1 Mar 2002 02:46:07 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - As with most of the Robots in disguise line, WARS and Crosswise are reisues. They were originally released with different names and paint jobs as Generation 2 GoBots and then in the Transformers 2000 line. WARS is a red race car that looks like it...

He's one Bad Mother Shut your Mouth...

Fri, 1 Feb 2002 03:06:37 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - …I’m talkn’ about Shaft. The McFarland highly detailed not so action-oriented figure of Shaft anyway. This figure is sculpted to look like Samuel L. Jackson from the remake movie done last year. Not the original Shaft done in the seventies.

No more Purple Dinosaurs

Sat, 19 Jan 2002 02:35:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - The Tyranasourous version of megatron was one of the coolest toys in the Beast Wars Transformers line. Who cares if it was a purple T-rex. It still manages to look cool. T-Wreaks is a repaint of the Megatron toy.

Physically, the toy is the...

Does size matter?

Fri, 4 Jan 2002 21:45:52 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - It’s big. It’s yellow, it has spots, it’s Cheetor, but does it really need to be so big? That’s the biggest (no pun intended) question I ask myself regarding this toy.

I bought the Supreme version of Cheetor when it came out because it...

Onslaught repainted.

Thu, 3 Jan 2002 03:03:11 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - As a kid I always wanted the “Combaticons”. They were a set of five Decepticon “combinders” that formed a larger robot named Bruticus. I never got them. So when I got older and started collecting Transformers again, the reissue of the Combaticons with...

Trick or treat.

Tue, 9 Oct 2001 15:19:12 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Here's a great example of a transformer I would have bought a lot sooner if the product pictures on the box had been better. There was a time when most toy stores were littered with Powerpinches but I never bought one because I thought he looked lame in...

Terrosaur Repaint; TERANOTRON

Sat, 23 Jun 2001 19:09:26 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - The Transmetal version of Terrorsaur never made it to the TV show but he was still a great toy. For any of you who didn't manage to pick him up you've got a second chance. Teranotron is the Beast Machines repaint of Terrorsaur and he rocks.

RAPTICON, best repaint yet.

Sun, 17 Jun 2001 20:12:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Repaints have been part of transformers since the beginning. Even the original Autobots and Decepticons had the same moulds used to create different characters. TM2 Dinobot is one of the latest repaints to be released again with an entirely different...

Clear Out The One Hit Wonders.

Sat, 19 May 2001 16:50:18 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Every one has a use for a CD burner, even if you don't know it yet. The two major reasons I wanted one were for my portfolio (for exhibition submissions, yadda) and to clear out the ton of CD's I have with only one or two songs that I still like. I admit...

Sun, 6 May 2001 19:12:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Among all the two packs you can get out there I think that Saberback and Corahda is the best. Both toys have awesome detail, reasonably challenging transformations and great gimmicks. Cohrada is a King Cobra and a Cybertron(Maximal) and Saberback is a...

Oh yeah

Sun, 29 Apr 2001 20:22:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Yes. This wok is great. If you've read my other reviews you know that I sell Calphalon pots and pans in the store I work in. As a result I'm really familiar with them. I even get to borrow them to increase my product knowledge. Yadda yadda.

Beast Wars - Torca: He's Wearing Jockeys

Sat, 14 Apr 2001 17:50:52 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Torca is on Transformer I did not expect to like as much as I do. I saw him in a store when the fuzors first came out and was a little scheptical. I could tell he was going to have obtrusive animal feet hanging from his wrists and the card illustration...

Brushed Aluminum or not?

Sun, 1 Apr 2001 20:56:20 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - So those pots and pans you bought at the grocery store during college need to be retired. What are you going to do? Do the same thing or treat yourself to some great pans that you can afford now because you've graduated and have a real job.

Yes, he can stand on his own two feet.

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 02:18:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - Okay, I know everyone says Depthcharge absolutely can't stand with out the use of his tail. Maybe my toy is unique but he can stand on his own two feet. Granted you have to lean him forward a bit to even out the weight but it works. You can position...

Almost perfect, but needs a few changes.

Wed, 14 Mar 2001 01:12:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - I held off on buying Tigerhawk for two reasons. The first is the way the actual toy is packaged. It just didn't do him justice, making his robot arm on the tiger back to visible. I thought it could have been concealed better. The second,and bigger...

You Can Hear Them because of The Microphone At The Top of The Screen

Sun, 11 Mar 2001 20:17:04 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author arbiter - I loved Silence of the lambs. I was just out of high school at the time and it set my personal standard for psychological thrillers with gory scenes and stimulating dialect.

Well, in this movie, Anthony Hopkins performance still rocked...
