Thanks to TFW2005, pictures of the Real Gear Transformers in packaging!

 

 

These are additional collectibles that Transformers fans in the Philippines can expect just prior to the upcoming movie.

Thanks to lastmaximal for the pictures and review of the Titanium 6″ Cheetor and The Fallen!

These figures are already available for Filipino Transfans at Patrick’s toyshop and hopefully, in local malls as well.

Here is his review and you can join in the discussions HERE

BM Cheetor and The Fallen are out locally! They arrived earlier this evening at Patrick’s Toy Shop [Ptoys!]

Thanks to Wildstar for generously lending us his Titaniums for a quick photo-review.

anyway, the quickie reviews:

Cheetor’s pretty solid, a nice heft and what feels like reasonable weight distribution. As you can see below, the face sculpt is awesome. The only awkward thing is how moving his robot forearms [just up and down elbows, mind] has to move his folded-back beast forelegs. it’s like he has long elbow spur things.

Transformation is simple, but effective… flip cat head and neck up [tucking in robot head], turn arms into arms and legs into legs, spin waist around. He has a tail in both modes.

Sadly, the swords are soft plastic and were somewhat warped into a sideways bend by the packaging. They’re also somewhat annoying to put on the hip-pegs for beast mode.

I’ve included some comparisons with TFU Night Slash Cheetor and Titanium Jetfire.

The Fallen ['Fallen' only on the packaging] is hefty [and by hefty i also mean back-heavy] and damn evil-looking. It’s the most black I’ve seen on a Transformer in a long time.

The flaming billboards actually come in a separate bubble and can be attached/detached to the back, but do not need to come off for transformation. They do look like they will pop off and not snap off if the figure is accidentally dropped. I do not, of course, plan to test this. icon-fire.gif

Transformation, incidentally, is also simple but effective — perhaps not as much as Cheetor given the ad-hoc altmode on this one [Don made it look good though]. turn waist, fold legs, fold billboards out into tread housings and wrap around legs, fold arms round back and make them cannon things.

I like how his ‘fists’ swivel so you can point the would-be fist holes vertically instead of horizontally as he has them packaged.
