Apart from individual figure that
can transform into another form (vihcles, weapons, etc.), one of the
interesting part from transformers toys is the combined robots into one giant
robot, or we use to call it combiners. Among the earlier combiners from
transformers series are Defastator, Aerialbots, Combaticons, Technobots, Stunticons,
Protectobots, Terrorcons, Predaking, etc.
Recently, I just received a set
of Warbotron WB03, a modified version of technobots from Warbotron company.
First impression, (personally) I think this set is way better than the movie in
sense of detail, height, articulation, paint job, gimmics, and more. I will
make single robots reviews and combined version. For now I will start from
WB03-B speed wheel.
Box and Unbox
The bots came in prestige looking
boxes. Each box were packed in a black hard and tidy box. I think Warbotron
wants to give an expensive and prestigious impression for these set, which is
align with its price. Here are some pictures of the packages/boxes and parts:
Bot mode and Alt mode
Here are some pictures in bots mode:
Quality: Plastics/Material
Plastic
quality is good, the plastic is thick. Although no metal parts, this figures is
solid, and most of the joint are stiff. But, due to its stiffness, you need to
have extra power when you do transformation from robot mode into vehicles, or
when you combine into one big giant robot.
Quality: Articulation
Head
Head can rotate 360 degree horizontally, it is because the neck using ball joint. Head up 45 degree, head down almost imposible because the gap between chin and the main body is very small, but you can still move the head down a bit.

Hand & Fingger
Hand can be rotate 360 degree vertically, also can be lifted 45 degree horizontally to it side, it is because it shoulder is too big that will push the head, so it prevent to be lifted further. Fingers, are not articulated. The four fingers is stick together that it can only be open to hold weapons. Thumb is fixed. But this make it holds the weapons more stabil and still.

Feet/Leg
Legs can be bended 90 degree vertically, the flexible joint is in bottom of the thighs. But I think the calfs is too bulky, and too bulky so that you will notice when you see it in the first time.

Posing
Fortunately,
thanks to its design, it can do superhero landing pose. But, not much variation
I can do, considering it’s bulky legs, and shoulder. But overall, the standard
posing is already stunning for me.
Cartoon/Movie Accurate
Although it is not too cartoon accurate, I think this better. Considering its improvements in detail paint job, designs, clear pars, face expression makes it an awesome bots compare to its predecessor G1 toy.
