LEGO City 60083 Snowplow Truck.

LEGO.com descriptions:
Clear snow and ice with the awesome Snowplow Truck!
The snow is falling thick and fast in LEGO City so it’s time to call in the snow patrol! Jump aboard the awesome Snowplow Truck, adjust the huge blade for maximum plow effect, activate the salt spreading function and head for the snowbound highway! Includes a driver minifigure with assorted accessories.

60083 Snowplow Truck.

Mustache driver with cap. Not really like the printing of the chest.

Back, no printing. He kind of look like Mythbuster's Jamie Hyneman, lol.

Get a snowplow truck to live a better morning after a heavy snow!

Front view.

Side view.

Back. (forgot to put the caution sticker on the back 2x3 plate) I like how the salt spreader is working, it is kind of cool because it will turn when push the truck forward.

Upper view.

Parts are separable.

Is this truck reference to Merc Unimog?

Mercedes Benz Unimog.

Snow plow Unimog.

I am glad I got this truck. (due to regions issue, I changed the steering position, lol)

Side view. Like those wheels a lots.

Back without the parts.

I store those snow piece in the salt spreader.

Compare to 60035 Outpost Truck.

Those wheels are so cool.

Modifying it to all utilities Unimog.

Side view.

Look more like extreme machine now.

Even can fit in arctic tools rack.

(bonus) The Ice Driller convert to Snow Shovel Track Machine(SSTM??).

Original version of The Ice Driller.

The spreader fits well. (but have to remove the spreader head)

Looks great like this.

Back view of SSTM.

"Start to work, mate!"

Transformers Generations Combiner Wars, Optimus Prime, Ultra Prime.

It's a disappointed TF figure for its appearance, both robot mode and combining mode, the only thing looks good is vehicle mode. The size/shape of the Prime looks like Beast War Maximus, lol, I think he is the bulkiest Optimus Prime in TF toys (correct me if I am wrong, lol!). I know it is the engineering problems for the wide shoulder part, but still, it look little weird on the design. This series is bad on the ratchet joints designing, really weird angles for the ratchet gears inside the joints, figures won't stand nicely, handsomely on its own...

(spoiler alert) Don't really know the story of this Prime, but I know previously Megatron join force with Prime, and the chaos Galvatron make was ended, Bumblebee and many others died. (and I was hoping Megatron's figure will come with Autobots emblem, lol)

Click below links to other combiners post:
SUPERION 
SILVERBOLT

(apologies for the low quality pictures, because I am using my smartphone to snap the pictures, Xperia C)

Combiner Wars, combiner Optimus Prime.

Back. The two riffles can store on both fore legs.

Really wide body......

Articulations of Optimus Prime.

Face close up. Pretty handsome for me, but only it is a little small due to it has to fit in to the chest.

There are two weapons for Optimus Prime, this one with the typical Optimus Prime cannon design with some new details elements.

The other weapon is totally new design with some engines details on it.

Both can combine on to a long cannon.

Vehicle mode of Prime.

Back of vehicle mode. Both of the rifles can store on the back of the truck, and really the engine style design details. (some of the pics are blur)

In combiner mode. The chest parts looks like Armada Optimus Prime much.

Back. (was hoping the back part can put something on to make it not so empty)

Ultra Prime!! Combine with Aerialbots. (can't make sense of why the designer want his legs spread so away, like his bottom part were 'assaulted' by someone)

Back.

The chest part looks a lots like Jinrai.

I don't have the parts (Micron) for the chest.

This looks more handsome. (I mean a lots more)

Ultra Prime!! Awesome~~~~!!

Close up on Ultra Prime face. Looks handsome.

My all Optimus Prime line up. (one of them is not Prime though...)

This Prime is combinations of Jinrai & Armada Prime.

Another comparison to Armada Prime.

Lookalike duo.


Comparing to Silverbolt.

Combiner Wars series line up.

Autobots, roll out!

My Generations series line up.

Head too small? How about trying this? (Too big this time...)
