Till All Are One

Mastermind Creations R-05 Feral Rex Fortis - Pictorial Review

One thing that I hate in collecting Transformers figures...the wait! Even more so if it's part of a team, Headmasters, Throttlebots and in this case, Combiners. The next figure released by Mastermind Creations after R-03 Bovis is R-05 Fortis (Not-Headstrong), courtesy of a friend

Glutony with brute force. Not the brightest of the 5 but Headstrong still maintained the most determined of all once he decided he wanted something. And nobody can say otherwise. With unbreakable ramming head and acid-dripping horn, Headstrong proves to not be taken lightly by the enemy

During G1's Call of The Primitives, the Predacons went fleeing for their lives when Sky Lynx and Trypticon had their energy drained by Tornedron, but stopped by Headstrong, declaring that he should die fighting, bringing the fight back into his fellow Predacons. Headstrong can form either leg of Predaking but mostly as the left leg.

Planet X Caelus - Pictorial Review

Now is the review of the second product of Planet X after Genesis (courtesy of a friend), Caelus. I must say, Planet X really took time between releases which is rare for a 3rd Party company. Continuing the theme of Genesis (homaging to WFC Omega Supreme), their 2nd release is a character from the War For Cybertron/Fall of Cybertron continuity, Dinobot's Swoop

Swoop (Generation 1) is part of the Dinobots that was built, together with Snarl, after the first 3 Dinobots proved to be valuable to the Autobots. Despite the arrogant and disobedient nature of the Dinobots, Swoop is by far the friendliest of the five. Having an alt mode deemed weak by others, Swoop is highly skillful in aerial combat and the missiles on the wings aren't just decorations.

In Fall Of Cybertron, Swoop is a member of the fierce Lightning Strike Coalition, alongside Grimlock. He was captured and forcibly changed into a Dinobot by Shockwave. Not really a downside, Swoop didn't take his new form for granted once he realized his new potential
