Meet the Autobots


Hello. My name is Optimus Prime, we are an autonomous mechanical toys from the planet Cybertron. But you can call us Autobots for short. I am a Voyager Class First Strike edition, a redeco of the original mold with a Generation-1 colors, which mostly covered in red with dark blue on the ankles, and the All Spark light blue on my chest and upper arms.

My first lieutenant, Jazz. He’s jacked up as a Premium Line Deluxe Class with striking silver paint job, very cool brass coloring visible on some of his body parts. He may be the shortest of the Autobots here, but the coolest looking one nonetheless.

Rescue Ratchet, my medical officer. He’s a new Voyager Class redeco, fairly similar to the old G1 looks. He’s the biggest of all the Voyager Class series. But don’t let the bulkish look turn you down, because he is more poseable and articulated than Jazz does.

This is Ironhide, my weapons specialist. He’s a lean mean fighting machine and a mighty fine Voyager Class Premium Series. Just take a look at those huge cannons on each of his arms. Combine the two and he’s got a BFG capable of shooting four projectile missiles! The Autobot insignia on his front hood is quite a nuisance, since it can be spotted too easily by suspecting Decepticons. He’s not very happy with that, but a fair trade for his overall better color enhancements.

And of course you’ve met your guardian, Bumblebee. Thanks to Mikaela’s critics he now comes with two variants, the Classic and the new 2008 Concept Camaro. He looks too dark in the Classic Camaro version, but he yields two cool projecting missiles which can either be mounted on his shoulders or held in his hands. The Concept version on the other hand sports a cannon which can automorph into a blade. In the end he looks much much cooler with his new look.

Gabe is unquestionably Jazz, while Mom is definitely Ironhide. Me? I’m probably more like Bumblebee. And which Autobot character are you?
