Jiu Jiu Studio QQT-02 Predacons Headstrong & Tantrum Set of 2 [Review]

Aug 18, 2025

Likes: (6)

BenZonah: Let's remember what this is, a low budget Predacon set. Don't expect NewAge quality. For a low budget set, it's good. Intuitive transformation, joints seem OK. The animal legs seem a little loose on my copy but not too bad. The feet fit well on these bots in combined mode. Not much paint, which is to be expected. Comes with 3-D printed leg fillers for robot mode and some kind of representation of them on thin plastic.

I'll be completing the set. Can't wait for Predaking.

NewAge H56 Rhedosaurus Sludge [Comment]

BenZonah: Really great figure with one flaw. Looks great with lots of articulation. The neck in dino mode is great. The dino is very flexible and can be posed in poses from the movie fight with Devastator. Includes bulging eyes, alternate set of yellow dino feet (pin removal required), open hands, gun and keg covers for Grimlock. Great face sculpt. One big flaw is that you can't hind his hands in dino mode, they have to be removed. Most New age figures could at least could hide the fists. Hope a third party makes a kit with new forearms.

BenZonah: Actually I gotta correct myself, you can fit his fists in dino mode. I just overlooked it.

Newage H64 Lincoln Trailbreaker [Review]

BenZonah: This is a really good rendition of Trailbreaker. He's very easy to transform. Comes with a good deal of accessories, an extra face plate and some blast effects I wouldn't give it a 5 because there is either a design defect or QC issue when you snap the front in a tab (see pictures). I watched new age's video, but it won't stay in, you have to hold the front when moving certain parts or it untabs.

I like that made him very clean and didn't use the ugly toy design. If they could have designed that tab better or better QC, this would be almost perfect.

Note : in the pictures, you will see a line on the windshield, that is just the light reflection

XTransbots MX-IIT Andras Scourge G1 Cartoon Version [Review]

BenZonah: I had high hopes for this figure but was disappointed. Visually it looks great. The paint is great, the pink fingertips are a great attention to detail. The transformation is relatively easy, except for transforming the feet.

I took two stars off just for the feet transformation problems. The instructions don't accurately convey how to fold the feet and even after finding the "correct" way to transform the feet, it still has problems being pushed through the front of the ship. It's also a pain to get it transformed back to alt mode. There is some ankle tilt that causes issues when trying to push the feet through during transformation as it always falls off the guidepost and hits the inside of the front of the ship.

Trying to transform the feet, the paint on them chipped off (and I am cautious ).

It's a great display piece if you just want to display it in one mode and never transform it.

BenZonah: Love this set. It's well made and the quality feels good. There are some minor issues with the transformations (such as needing a flat tool at times), which is why I give 4 stars instead of 5. But it's still an awesome legends scale set. Great for the price too.

Newage Upgrade Kit for Hephaestus Devastator Combiner [Review]

BenZonah: Overall a great set. Probably a 4.5.

Hook - legs are more cartoon accurate and have covers over the hollow legs to make them look better.

Mix master- Cab looks much better. It's bigger and has better proportions. Added a stabilizer in the back.

Scrapper - The covering looks great in bot mode. It's a bit trickier to transform and also to attach to the combiner frame though. I don't like the new heel. I see why it's like that, but the bot is a little more unstable compared to the old legs.

In the pics, new is installed on the bot, old is to the right.

Newage H47G Daedalus Grapple Green Version [Review]

BenZonah: Advice for those buying this mold. Check the screw in the picture where the cab rotates. My Artfire was too tight from the factory (which I didn't know) and it broke while transforming it. You should loosen it before transformation so it's not too tight as a precaution.

That said, this is a great mold. The transformation of the crane into the chest is great. The paint is great. Disappointed that it didn't come with any blast accessories.

NewAge H55 Hughes Powerglide [Review]

BenZonah: Average figure. Transformation is a bit above average. Paint looks great. Comes with alien mask and gun.

My figure had several screws tightened to the point where I couldn't transform it. I had to loosen then with a screwdriver. Newage QC really sucks. If I didn't notice that, I could have broken powerglide. The waist isn't really tight and pops out in both robot and jet mode.

BenZonah: This is a fun set. Looks good, poseable, simple but effective transformation. The included water effect is nice.

Check your copies. Newage QC is so bad now. The screw connecting the two halves at the waist was super tight on my copy. I had to loosen it to avoid it breakage. I learned my lesson from their Grapple mold. Screw was too tight on that. Always check the screws on New Age product to avoid breakage.

Dr.Wu DW-E09T Star Fear Thrugh Starscream Transparent Version [Review]

BenZonah: Good figure from Dr. Wu. It is a clear version of Starscream with a clear throne, solid coronation crown, clear cape and clear shoulder pads. Comes with an extra head and what I think are alternate upper arms. The blasters still fall off the arms easily. Head is not transparent, which is annoying with these clear figures. Just need Scourge so this figure can haunt him

Note : The light base in my pictures is not included.
