I have absolutely no idea why I pick this up... but at least the cheetah mode looks slightly better than the Kingdom line version, without the blue colours... As with many others, I broke the infamous tab after a few transformations, but it is really like what many said, the tab is not of much use... Very tempted to get 1 original Cheetor (KO) mold to play with... but perhaps better to save some money for Kingdom Galvatron...

Transformers Kingdom Vertebreak
Very cute little dinosaur skeleton, and it does not need to partsform to transform! A pity the colour is too dark, as many of the details are not visible in the dark colour tone.

Gunpla Gundam Model Kits
I used a fine whiteboard marker to paint/draw the panel lines etc and wipe off excess with a piece of tissue paper. Surprising, normal holding and handling will not rub off the temporary ink as the ink seeps into the trenches where the finger flesh will not really touch. Cost $11, but feel this is quite worth. The original first Gundam model type, very nostalgic. Articulation is quite good too. Best of all is that there is no need for stickers.
Free gift with purchase of the EG RX-78-2 Gundam model kit. Very small and very cute. Am thinking of making a light stand to hold it. Maybe during November or December...

Transformers Studio Series 86 G1 Scourge - Face Cover Plate Minor Restore
Scourge's face is covered with a plate when in space craft mode, but somehow it is quite impossible to cover the face snugly so when all tabs are pegged in. I tried to trim off the blue plastic part (both sides) shown in the first picture below, and now the face cover can fit in better. Should have file down a little more, but think this will be suffice.
The transformation video...
Transformers Studio Series 86 G1 Hot Rod - Paint Touch Up
Painted the weird yellow parts in car mode and the elbow joints to red... And weirdly, the ZIG Painty paint pen I used is a Burgundy colour... Nevertheless, it matches quite ok... I used a red marker to touch up the mushroom peg rim, as paint from the paint pen will get scratched off... Looks much better and more accurate to the show... Also painted the rear wheels rims silver to match the front wheels (the legs' exhaust pipes can be pried off gently and carefully)...
And the transformation video...
