Right. So, after a 3 month hiatus, this series continues.
I'm on a new quest, and that is to collect everything with a Force Chip.
I might start collecting all Legends... but we'll see about that in a while.
That might mean choking abit as I scramble to get all the Botcon exclusives... but really, we'll see how it goes. Now, on to the show!
1)Starscream (Burgundy)
Starscream
As I understand it, it was released in a twin pack with Vector Prime, as part of a TRU exclusive.
Slap me for not getting it then.
It's the only time Hasbro released a Voyager sized Starscream. And for some odd reason, Vector Prime has traditionally been paired up against Starscream for Cybertron/Galaxy Force.
Personally, I think Vector Prime should fight Soundwave - both being intergalactic and interstellar warriors and all.
2)Gasket Police Type
Gasket, Police Type
I don't know why Police Type, either.
But I think he makes a nice complement to Ransack GTS.
GTS means what, by the way? Grand Tour Series, right?
And you know what?
I have him. Heh.
Heh heh.
HEH HEH HEH.
OK enough.
3)Soundblaster
Soundblaster
I used to call him "Black Soundwave". Aiyoh, how ignorant. But nevermind.
The original, Soundwave, has always been one of those weird toys to me. Weird as in, I'm not entirely in love with it, but I can't deny how cool he looks in that really alien way.
Which is the point, isn't it? To look alien.
And then it got recoloured into the only feasibly logical characters - Blaster, Soundblaster. I guess the only real issue is - will there be a Twincast recolour?
And Laserbeak (or Hell Buzzsaw in this case) isn't really a Minicon. He doesn't have the Minicon pegs status.
4)Red Exillion
Red Exillion
For a very long time, I didn't want him. I mean, come on. I already have a Cybertron Excellion, so why would I want him? I don't like Hot Rod. Why would I want him?
Because my mad quest is now to get everything. Which means, everything for Cybertron, everything for Galaxy Force.
Gah. Madness.
He looks nice, though.
5)Noisemaze, Mass Production-Type
Noisemaze, Mass Production Type
I wasn't really enamoured of him, mainly because his colours aren't exactly show accurate. In that the mass production Noisemazes didn't look so white.
So I never bothered to check up on Noisemaze, until skylink whispered in my ear.
Now, if you watch Evangelion, you'd realise his colours look very much like the Mass Production EVAs.
Meaning... well to me, it's a homage. And I like homages. And Evangelion.
Oops. US$400 for him? Sigh.
6)Flame Convoy, Sky Lynx Edition
Flame Convoy, Sky Lynx Edition
This is perhaps one of the rarest items to collect. But I will whine about it anyway.
I have no idea what is the difference between "Edition" and "Type", in Japanese terms. For all I know, they could be different translations of the same word. But anyways.
Sky Lynx colours? I don't actually know why, nor do I think it looks very good. But as one of the four Flame Convoy recolours I know... well, I'd call this one Wind Convoy. Cryo Scourge = Ice Convoy. Predacon Bruticus = Rock Convoy.
And then you have all four elementals.
7)Black Fang Wolf
Black Fang Wolf
I've talked about him to death already, so no need to go on at length.
He's the only recolour I know of for the Fang Wolf mould. Poor animals. They get no love. Well, unless they are large and gigantic, like Flame Convoy or Ligerjack.
8)Dark Nitro Convoy
Dark Nitro Convoy
What exactly is the difference between Dark and Black?
Apparently, Black just means a stealth colour. Dark, while chromatically similar, means that it is evil. EVIL. So here we have an evil Nitro Convoy.
Do all Convoys have an evil counterpart in Galaxy Force?
Not Megalo Convoy, at least. Or Live Convoy. Who is in every primary colour now. Red, green, yellow... oh wait, we need a blue!
9)Chromia, Minerva-Type
Chromia, Minerva-Type
There is only so much you can talk about for recolours, I've realised.
But anyway, Chromia is a shellformer. Nothing bad about it, except it makes her a little difficult to pose at times. But female Transformers are always a good thing. It's just... you know, now there's a damsel in distress.
Or more importantly, something for the horny males to interface with.
Regardless, Chromia is one of my favourite characters in Galaxy Force. She's such a bitch at times, you just want to see her actually win. Heh.
Now that rounds it up. A little bimbotic, I know, but my fingers hurt somewhat. The keyboard I have needs replacing.
Next up - Botcon Exclusives!
