Great homage to a classic figureJuly 17, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I picked this up on a whim in the wake of the recent Transformers movie, along with Deluxe Classic Grimlock. Both are great figures, but this one is far and away my favorite.
Pros: Ramjet looks fantastic in both robot and jet mode. The jet is very natural looking, and the robot form more closely resembles the cartoon version of Ramjet than the original figure. Unlike the original Seeker figures, none of the components, minus the missle launchers, have to be removed from the toy during transformation, which means fewer missing parts. The joints are pretty solid and the toy balances very well, thanks to the cape-like wings on the legs.
Cons: There isn't much to complain about. I wish the figure came with fold out landing gear, though he balances just fine in jet mode. There were also a couple of minor paint glitches, but I think those could be easily fixed with model paint if I was so inclined.
Overall, this is a great figure, and a good buy for any fans of the old Seeker toys (or anyone who didn't snag the Deluxe Classic Starscream the first time around).
Better than the original!!February 19, 2007 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I really love this remake of the classic Ram Jet. My parents bought me the G1 version in 1987 when I was in high school and still into Trans-Formers toys. Even though he wasn't what I really wanted for a Christmas gift( I wanted "Thrust"), I was cool with him. The G1 had issues with the rear wing weight balance, but I just kept him in robot mode. Unfortunately, my brother gave ALL of my transformers away while I was in basic training after high school. I wanted to choke him!
Now, with this classic issue, I love the color scheme. He seems to have a meaner look in his eyes than Starscream, and the cone head deletes the irritating yellow windscreen that can be seen above the head when Starscream is in robot mode. He has a few issues himself, especially the beginning of the wings leading edge restricting the full downward position of the arms and no nose landing gear or opening canopy, but I like this one better than Starscream.In the description it says that you can flip down the landing gear, but I haven't seen any yet. But, it does look like there's a place for it.
I have also ordered the classic version of Skywarp that is normally sold with Ultra Magnus in the "Battle for Autobot City" set. I found it on E-bay with out Magnus. Hopefully, Hasbro will continue with the issue of classics like Thundercracker, Thrust, Sunstorm, and just maybe the other 3 seekers that were seen on the cartoon.

Video Review of City Commander Upgrade Resident Transformer reviewer Peaugh has posted a nice, detailed review of the recently released City Commander upgrade set created for the Classics Universe Ultra Magnus figure.
The video goes in the great step by step detail on how to convert and attach the new addition along with nice video angles showing off the impressive attachments.
The images show both robot and vehicle mode (Earth Helicopter). The image of the robot mode shows that Megatron has decent articulation, but unlike the Leader Class version, his cannon cannot be attached to his forearm.

Seibertron.com Reviews Soon To Be Released Glu Mobile 'Tranformers: G1 Awakening' Game Thanks to staff member Stormrider, I was given the chance to make contact with a member of Glu mobile;#x2019;s PR staff, and was able to play a demo of the soon to be released ;#x2018;Transformers: G1 Awakening;#x2019; game for cellular phones. Glu Mobile was very kind and even sent me a compatible phone loaded with the game to play, as they do not currently have a version available for the iPhone.
I was able to spend about a week with the game, wasting many precious hours, staying up until the wee early hours of the morning as I played the addicting game, and tried to experience as much of it as I could before I had to send the demo back....
First off we have Stealth, err, Goldbug... I mean ELITE GUARD BUMBLEBEE by Tamo536. Straight up repaint of the Original Animated Bumblebee, but according to the reviewer the 'stingers' are now able to better fit into the arms...
And also a huge picture montage courtesy of the Japanese Transformers Image Board showing Sentinel in package, with other Elite Guard members, and with the Headmaster unit firmly placed on his shoulders.
Everybody should want to get Sentinel as soon as they can...
