My Recent Buys....for October

These are my buys in October. Been buying a lot these few months, have to cut down in NOV.

Had been looking for this Superlink Sunstorm for a year. Found it in Vincent's Collection on one fine Sunday afternoon. Finally completed my Superlink collection. Yippee!!

Henkei buys for the month. Love the cartoon at the bottom of the bubble.

Henkei Streak.

Henkei Octane


Henkei Sideswipe. Sunstreaker twin brother.



Henkei Silverbolt, Onslaught and Powerglide.


Finally, Hasbro Classics Soundwave

:: Custom Sunstorm Classic

Before Takaratomy decide whether to release the Classic mold for Sunstorm, I decided to go ahead with my schedule to custom this orange jet.

The color is based more on G1 Seekers mixing orange and white. I decided to forgo yellow as I felt it will turn out to be like KO. The color scheme is also planned to be in context with Classic Seekers having the body in metallic color mixed with Matt finishing on the limbs.

After 1 1/2 days of layering and drying. I finally present Classic Sunstorm :D

Who are they??? 2nd Stop: Obliterator Pyro

This week's feature is Pyro from the European Obliterator series that was release back in 1992. Pyro transforms from a Carmichael Cobra airport crash truck into a robot (front half) and a gun emplacement featuring a six-barrel missile launcher which actually fires as one rotates the knob on the back. His sticker sheet notably includes several different windshield decals, each with the word "FIRE" in a different language. In robot mode he has fairly limited articulation as well as an Optimus Prime-looking headsculpt, which was the trend with Autobot leaders at the time.

Information gathered from TF wiki

Vehicle mode: Pyro is split into 2 half, red cab (front) and yellow cabin (back)

Pyro's gun which looks more like the fire engine's deluge gun can be mounted onto the front cab. The 6 turret missile launcher would be activated during battle. Back of the cabin opens up to transport injured Autobot to safety.

Base mode: Back cabin can be transform into a battle station having the same concept as Optimus Prime. It consist of a 5 turrent missile launcher and a control station.

Lets look at how Pyro transforms from a airport crash truck to the defensor of earth....

Front Cab makes up Pyro, this is quite similar to RID Fire convoy.

Robot mode: Many of Pyro's parts are transparent esp the eyes makes it

looks cool when the light source is behind his head.

Pyro comes with 3 modes; RobotPyro, Vechicle and Base mode.
