Safeguard

Transformers animated really makes a lot of breakthrough, safeguard is one of it. This is the first two combiners in this line, and I think safeguard is also the first one that offer two combined modes, the robot mode itself, and the vehicle mode.

The toy came with a comic book.

Jetfire and Jetstorm are supposed to be twin autobots, different in ability, the yellow one has ability to control fire and the other one has ability to control storm hence the names. They're ok in the robot mode-cool looking, and quite better coloring/design, but they're quite lame in the vehicle mode.

Safeguard is nice looking, nice color blending, cool design, apart from the hands' sculpt, which also suffer as bad as the each individuals. The vehicle mode is not that grand, it's rather quite lame, in term of the combining, much much... worse compared to Safeguard.

Wreck-Gar

I haven't updated this blog in a long time, but I also haven't bought a boxed transformers animated toy in a long time ... or might be not that long. *cough* Starting from this time I will also try to post with new 'style', hover your mouse to the highlighted text and you'll get what I mean.

Anyway the latest transformers animated toy I bought is the garbage truck Wreck-Gar. Box image:

As a voyager, I consider it's a small toy, but then again, all voyager class toys in the transformers animated line is considered small. This thing is also blocky, but somehow quite magnificent. The transformation is quite easy, simple and straight forward. Too bad, the scissor claw weapon thingy not really playable. Well, in the truck mode, the front part thing is still playable, so I think it makes up for it. Anyway, cute toy.
