Review: Transformers Takara Legends LG-58 Clone Bot Set

Pak Hanu

Hello Hero Club, this is Darkon633 and I am back with another toy review.  The Takara Legends Autobot Clone set is in my opinion the best way to get both of the figures. While the figures do feature their Takara toy / Transformers Headmasters colors it is an much cheaper alternative to getting the clones. It is a shame that the Hasbro releases of all the clones got stuck to exclusive expensive multi-packs. Personally it would have been much better to just release them as two single multi-packs instead of being…

Review: Transformers Legends LG-55 Slugslinger

Pak Hanu

Hello Hero Club, this is Darkon633 and I am back with another toy review. Transformers Legends LG-55 Slugslinger is personally my favorite out of the three Targetmaster releases. While it is mostly due to Slugslinger being my favorite out of the main three Decepticon Targetmasters, it is also because I think it is the most unique out of all three molds. The two styled cockpit really helps the mold stick out in my opinion. In conclusion, I am quite pleased to see that all three of the main Decepticon Targetmasters…

Review: Transformers Legends LG-52 Targetmaster Misfire

Pak Hanu

Targetmaster LG-52 Misfire is another great release in Takara’s Transformers Legends line. Seeing as it is the second out of the main three Targetmasters it is great to see that it outshines Triggerhappy in many ways. It does have some wonky transformation issues such as the pegs not being able to secure on the body as well as I hoped, although at least the robot mode is good. Aimless may not be too different than Blowpipe in the grand scheme of things, but it does have enough differences to help…

Review: Transformers Takara Legends LG-49 Targetmaster Triggerhappy

Pak Hanu

Hello Hero Club, this is Darkon633 and I am back with another toy review. Transformers Takara Legends LG-49 Triggerhappy is an example of how a bit of extra polish can make the overall presentation that much better. The Hasbro version of Triggerhappy was decent enough, however the new white and potentially different shade of blue color scheme that is featured on the Takara version of the character is stronger in my opinion. Not only that is great to see the first Decepticon Targetmaster (sans Nightstick from Generations Deluxe Class Cyclonus)…
