Everyone knows what to expect in general from a reissue of the original Beast Wars Tigatron mold, so what I thought would help more than a review is a heads up to the painting defects that you may get on your copy.
This toy is a reissue of the Takara version rather than the Hasbro version, meaning the white is far brighter than the off white chosen on the original Hasbro release. The face is turquoise rather than silver along with other paint app differences which you can see in the gallery contrasting the two original toys.
This reissue, at least my copy, suffers from paint issues in two areas. The face is not properly painted with the paint not covering the entire face and leaving it unpainted as it gets nearer to the eyes. You can see below how the original does not have that problem. There is also an issue with the legs but this one was also found on the original. There is a gap where they are supposed to come together flush. However, this gap is further highlighted by the seam not being properly painted, leaving a white line going down the legs.
But aside from that, the toy feels fine, similar in quality to the original Beast Wars toys and all the joints are nice and tight.
It's been a very long time coming, but not only is Metroplex's final teammate, Slammer, being released, Emgo316 has posted his video review.
Slammer is the last weaponizer to come out in Kingdom. This time, the weaponizer is not a fossil but a mechanical robot. Slammer transforms into a tank by partsforming as all weaponizers did before. He has the obligatory "armor mode" to upgrade other deluxes or voyagers from the WFC trilogy. He also has an unofficial "tower mode" for the old Generations Titan Metroplex. Ironically, that mode is not in the instructions.
You can see the video review down below:
So, what do you think? Are you planning on getting Kingdom Slammer whenever you have Generations Metroplex or not?

The newsest editions to the Masterpiece line are finally making it into the hands of collectors worldwide! Maybe though, you're still on the fence about these new figures. Maybe your fingers are hovering over the buy button but can't quite commit. Maybe, just maybe, a review of these two figures from fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, will change your mind!
Let's see what he thinks of this pair:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:The Honda City mold is the BEST Masterpiece figure I've handled in a long, long time. I haven't enjoyed transforming a figure this much since Masterpiece Bumblebee 1.0. If I have to pick one to recommend, Skids is part of the G1 cast so it's a necessity for a Masterpiece shelf. Then again both are very affordable so if you can, both are great additions to any collection.
Has his words swayed you to buy one or both of these figures? Do you already have them?
Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
Have you seen Transformers Cyberverse Warrior Class Dead End on the shelves but don't know if he's the con for you? Well maybe fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, can persuade you!
He's dropped by to let us know his thoughts about this toy, and if you should add it to your collection:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Dead End is a fine Warrior Class figure, not my favorite but close. Transformation is simple but satisfying, I enjoy seeing a small robot change into a smaller car. The action gimmick is actually not that intrusive and with a little care, Dead End can get into some nice poses. A perfect toy for the holiday season.
Will Chuck's words persuade you? Have you already claimed Dead End? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
The Golden Disk sets are coming in. Various places in the world are getting these sets with Puffer and Ranger being sent to our UK friends and Terrorsaur appearing in Asia. That means we have reviews and images for these toys. In the US, it seems Jackpot and the Puffer set will be in fans hands soon, as well as the wave 5 deluxes from Kingdom. So it's exciting news. Hasbro did state the dates stipulated for release included a buffer and with how well things turned out for our hobby it seems we are getting many toys a whole quarter earlier than expected.
MP-54 Reboost will hijack his brother Skids thread to show himself off!
So let's get right into it.
First of, the box is small and pretty similar to what we got so far from Takara over the years.
This is what you get when you open the box. Reboost have more accessories than Skids notably that adorable mini scooter. There's also the instructions and the obligatory character card.
The little guy is an "hologram" of Sam Witwicky (I guess) and can ride the scooter easily. But the guy is way too small compared to the car.
They didn't had to do that but they did anyway. The hood can lift up to reveal an engine!
The trunk door can open and there is LOTS of storage inside.
After a very small transformation, the scooter can store inside.
All 3 weapons can store inside as well.
But once all 3 guns are in the truck, there is no more room for the scooter unless you don't mind leaving the rear door open.
The vehicle is superbly well detailed.
There's no interior details at all inside. The bot takes all the space.
But the clear guy is stubborn. And yes, this is official.
The holo-guy can only be a child at this size.
But he's annoying as hell to deal with, things popping off everywhere all the time.
So in the end, despite the fact that having an extra gun, an extra dude, and a scooter over Skids is super nice, those extras shall remain box-warmers.
Now, it's time for comparison pictures with other Transformers.
First, G1 Skids.
Next, MP-10 Optimus Prime, and MP-21 Bumblebee (the only one that matters.)
Finally, some comparison with current WFC deluxes.
Transforming Reboost was pretty straightforward and smooth like MP-21 or MP-10. No annoying steps, no tolerance issues, and it use clever tricks all over. Only thing that may cause a problem are the arms when I'll put him back into vehicle mode. Those arms pretzel themselves à la Alternators.
Reboost have decent articulations and joints. Also, his hands do have a trigger finger and can open and close.
He's pretty stable and can even take a running pose without issues.
Reboost is very fun to handle.
That head looks like the original Diaclone. But for me, all I can see is Optimus Prime, finally going in retirement.
It's also the only place that a is revealed.
Too often, guns are annoying to deal with Masterpieces toys. They usually have a hard time to peg in hands. Not here. Reboost take his guns firmly in hand/arm and will not drop them unless you want to take them off.
Reboost have a very clean back. Plus the back of the legs are the only place where faux-parts are used with those back-of-the-van cheat-panels. A very clever trick.
Comparison with MP-21 Bumblebee and MP-10 Optimus Prime in robot mode. Reboost is meant to go with the older Masterpiece instead of the newer one that are obsessed with Cartoon accuracy. And that's a great thing IMO.
With G1 Skids because he's PRECIOUS.
With the current WFC deluxes:
Finally, with MP-10 and the newer MP Optimus mold in the shape of Nemesis Prime:
Overall, I seriously think that MP-54 Reboost is my Transformers of the year. He's fun to handle, beautiful in all mode, plus he use so many nice transformation tricks.
Not only that, but he's priced just in the mid point between a current Leader and Commander toy. I highly recommend him.
It's been a while since I had a Transformers THIS good!
Thanks to Matt in japan we have a video review of Takara's latest MP, Masterpiece MP-53 Skids. He is out in Japan so our resident Seibertronian there has gone through the figure. Let us know if you are getting yours, and if this review either gets you more excited or makes you want to purchase it (or not).
Balvitron has begun being shipped left and right but not many reviewers took an interest in this odd collab. Luckily for us, Youtuber That Toy Guy made a video review of the thing for us all to enjoy.
This oddity is a set of repaints of G1 Soundwave, Buzzsaw/Lazerbeak, and Ravage. Soundwave is in eye-searing yellow with pre-applied stickers all over. Unfortunately, the quality of the stickers seems to be basic "Power of the Prime" style. BuzzBeak is in white with "Energy" written in Spanish on him while Ravage cosplay as a tiger because why not.
Also, Soundwave don't come with his usual "battery" guns. Instead, he come with two of Siege Jetfire's guns with blast effects.
You can see the video review down below.

From Amazon.ca, Canadians are already receiving their Golden Disk Jackpot. I got mine as well so I can provide you with this pictures review.
The packaging come in a brown shipping box. The box itself is in full colors, but is very thin. The tray and tie-wraps binding the toys are all cardboard. Zero plastics. All that paper and cardboard except for the instructions will find themselves in the recycling bin.
As stated in the previous news report, This version of Jackpot have a new headsculpt but factory gremlins has missaligned the head parts so it appear a bit wonky. On mine, only the top of the head is affected. Not a big deal in my opinion. I'll just say he got bonked.
Jackpot is a repaint/retool of the Studio Series 86 Jazz. The colors are so different and with that still nice new head makes Jackpot worth owning even if you already have SS86 Jazz.
Jackpot come with the same gun as SS86 Jazz, but Hasbro didn't forgot his partner, Sights. Sights is a straight repaint of Siege Pteraxadon. Here, it works perfectly.
Let's not forget comparing the newer Kingdom Jackpot to the original Action Masters from G1!
Contrary to the Action Masters original, this is the very first time Jackpot can transform! And redecoing SS86 Jazz was the right call because that's the perfect altmode. Matching yellows is always very hard to do and here, it's no exception. However, the only yellow that dont match are on the front of the car and it's just a tiny part. Depending on how you see things, this may look even better than just a plain uniform line. Transformation was also easy like the SS86 original and at no times I was afraid that something may break due to all that clear plastics. The car is a beauty.
Overall, Golden Disk Jackpot is pretty awesome and it's amazing that it's no more expensive than a regular deluxe despite coming with a bonus Battlemaster. I highly recommend that you get yours while it's still in stock.
PrimevsPrime has a review up for Transformers Studio Series 86 deluxe Perceptor. This gives us a preview of the figure and our first in hand look. We have images for you to check out below. He is quite the sizable deluxe figure, from what you will see. This toy has been available for a while at a variety of online retailers for preordering and is still available. He is due out in Q2 of 2022.
