[Pre-Order] Siyang Culture Y-C002 Heidelberg Scorponok
BenZonah: Great bot. Tight joints, easy transformation, blast effects. Comes with Zarak as the head and a smaller headmaster that can swap out with Zarak's head if you want. Mini Ultra Magnus and Galvatron included along with a bunch of other stuff.

Thanks to ShowZ for getting a replacement for a damaged part.
NewAge H65 Keaton Hoist
BenZonah: Disappointed. Transformation is simple but NewAge messed up a couple of things.  The feet are hard to flip out. Need to use a tool to get them out. One foot has something my fingernails can use, the other foot doesn't. The legs can't bend back, only forward. He can still kneel but the lack of backwards leg motion is bad design.

Only reason to get this is to get the Autobot Spike head. I won't be buying any repaints of this.
Dr.Wu & Mechanic Studio DW-E37 Leap Cliffjumper & DW-E38 Pulse Gun Shockwave Toy Color Version Set of 2
BenZonah: This is an awesome set. The engineering feels much different (in a good way) than previous Dr. Wu releases. Very elegant transformation for the size. For the price, it's a bargain. Cliffjumper comes with his big gun. Shockwave comes with two cables. Paint job is excellent.

Stand not included.
Magic Square MS-B60 Pterosaur Swoop
BenZonah: Great rendition of Swoop. Looks phenomenal. The engineering is clever regarding the beak as he has a faux beak to give him a waist swivel. Looks to be good quality, joints aren't loose. Comes with a stand for flight mode.

I took off one star because the screws in the chest were so tight and needed to be loosened before transforming. Without loosening them, the figure would have broke. If they had manufactured it correctly, this should be a 5-star release.
Newage H74 Cho Sixshot
BenZonah: Fun bot! This a fun intuitive bot to play around with. Some compromises had to be made for six modes but he looks great in all six. Paint is phenomenal looking. His guns are a little loose when you have to tab them in blaster and tank mode. They stay in but fall out easily if bumped. Aside from that, a great job by New Age.
Magic Square MS-B59 Stegosaurus Snarl
BenZonah: Looks great in both Bot and Dino mode. The con is that it is a pain to transform to Dino mode. It's a big floppy mess transforming the legs and a bit difficult to get everything tabbed together but it's doable. You also can't really make him point the sword in his hand, though you can fake it. There seems to be a design flaw with the hip skirts. You have to flip the sides up to move the legs up and down. Otherwise, the hip skirts get stuck and thus the legs get stuck too.

Probably not going to transform this one again.
Dr.Wu DW-E40 Red Tank Warpath & DW-E41 Star Shuttle Scourge Set of 2
BenZonah: Truly a great set. They are both great figures but Scourge is really great. For a small figure, I am impressed with the transformation. He looks great in alt and bot mode. Wish I had bought more Sweeps. Glad Dr Wu included a gun with Scourge.
Newage H71 Dick Sideswipe
BenZonah: Not a bad bot. Looks good for the most part. Fairly easy to transform. Good degree of poseability.

Head requires a trick to transform. Thighs are white, arms are gray, but should be the same color. They also look a bit weird due to the bulk on the forearms. Includes a lot of accessories: jet pack, leg for Autobot X, hammer parts and extra hands.

There is a false chest used in bot mode. Doesn't bother me, but it does some people.
Dr.Wu DW-E49 Side Slip Sideswipe & DW-E50 Plunder Kickback Set of 2
BenZonah: Dr Wu does it again. These are great. For the scale, they are fairly complex. The double chest and wing rotation are executed masterfully on Ransack. Sideswipe is beautiful and has a great transformation. It's great that Dr Wu is including weapons.
Dr.Wu DW-E49Y Tiger Mark Tigertrack & DW-E53 Butcher Shrapnel Set of 2
BenZonah: I love these lambos and bugs. At this scale they are very well done. It's great that Dr Wu keeps including weapons. They transform easily and have a decent degree of poseability. Not as much as regular or MP figures but at this scale, I'm impressed.
