NEW YEAR 2017 IS COMING, IS TIME TO COUNTDOWN!

This is the last post I will post on my blog this year 2016, see you next year! One more day to 2017! Hahaha!

Weirdwolf

Four million years ago, Weirdwolf, also known as just plain "Wolf" to the 'bots who know him best, was among a group of diminutive Cybertronians who departed Cybertron under the leadership of Fortress, seeking to escape the eternal war that had consumed the planet. Alas, engine trouble caused their craft to crash-land on the planet Master, an inhospitable world whose murderous environments and wildly changeable atmospheric conditions threatened the lives of the Cybertronians.

Fighting against the odds, the Cybertronians made several technological quantum leaps to survive on Master, including the creation of larger, lifeless Transformer bodies called Transtectors. Weirdwolf and many of his comrades underwent rigorous physical and mental training to master the art of transformation, learning to transform into heads that connected to the Transtectors and placed them under their control, and even developing telepathic and telekinetic powers. 


Weirdwolf was one of ten warriors who became one of these "Headmasters", but he and several other warriors soon began to chafe under Fortress's leadership, and ultimately rebelled against him, siding with a traitor named Scorponok. Weirdwolf was Scorponok's second-in-command and leader of the other Decepticon Headmasters, Mindwipe and Skullcruncher. Defeated by Fortress and his men, Scorponok, Weirdwolf and the rest were exiled from Master, but eventually entered into an alliance with Decepticon leader Galvatron.




Alt mode 360 GIF.


Top.

The wolf head is very details.

Mouth can open.

The cockpit of wolf mode is large, can put in another headmaster in head mode.

The articulations of wolf mode is quite well.

Wolf head is on ball joint, but it can't move up and down, by using the neck transformation piece to lift up the head.

With all those peg hole on Weirdwolf, I can plug many weapons on it. It look like ZOIDS now... 

The cannon can also plug underneath the wolf belly, but it is kind of weird on that position...

With his fellow beast colleague.

Haha, finally, I can do this pose! Beast (Transport) Machine.

Yellow Lion, form feet and legs! (extra mode for Weirdwolf?)

Yellow Lion, can also form arm!

And form blazing blade!

Compares to ZOIDS. And they try to resemblance Weirdwolf to Zoids?

Robot mode in 360 GIF.

Close up.

Head can turn 360.

Shoulder with just one ball joint, only can move out 45 degree. Elbow also only 90 degree fold, he is very weak on arm joint.

Waist swivel also restricted by back hip parts, not much it can go, but better than no joint at all.

Leg articulations is reasonable good, only ankle joint is not that good.

Choice of weapon, a huge blade. I bet it could knock someone out cold by one blunt blow, hehe, a one big blunt weapon.

This weapon makes he like a barbaric leader or some sort.

Huge cannon.

Lots of peg holes for attaching multiple weapons.

Headmaster Monzo.

Side.

Back, with big red face.

There is a space under the cannon for Monzo piloting it. (note that the cannon is slide into the back of Weirdwolf)

Rarigo, special support vehicle/weapon for Monzo.

Side.

Back.

Rarigo alt mode, a small jet plane.

Back/side of the jet.

Monzo can ride on the back of Rarigo.

Back.

Can transform into weapon for Weirdwolf.

Full armed.

"My name is Weirdwolf, but I am not that weird at all."

"Look what I found! A mice!" Fetching food.

Decepticon/Destron Headmasters Trio!

Leader of Decepticon Headmaster team, he fights out number.

Beaten Brainstorm.

And then Highbrow!

"Finally, we are complete, Trio power!!"

"We are quattro, you are out number, Weirdwolf!" Chromedome.

(updated pics)
Hidden open chest feature?? (no one mention this feature on sites/forums, they didn't try to open it??)

No power indicator, but this is a very neat feature.

Even can open in beast mode. I was thinking this feature maybe for easier to tuck out the lower piece of the body, simply open the chest piece, and push the piece to lower position.

Or maybe this is an escape hatch for beast mode when he is defeated.... (just guess, hehe)
