Today I was Reborn,
After months of training, We passed the last of the tests given by MASTER. He looked so pleased. he gave us new identities, along with the power to control the basic elements. Master bestowed upon me the ability to control lightning and thunder, and gave me the name "ThunderShred". we were now ready to execute the last part of the mission given by our Master.
Yes, we were finally ready to carry out the mission given by the Dark Lord, Our True Master!, the three of us have followed the plan as instructed from the start. from the day i met Bomb-271, and received the mission from the dark lord, everything has proceeded as the dark lord expected, the only thing left to do. extinguish master's ember and retrieve "the object". then we can finally get what we want.
I cannot forget the eyes of Master, as we watched his ember extinguish, after piercing it with an energy blade from his back, he never expected this, right until the end. i felt sorry, but this was our mission. Now we have "the object", and Master is finally eliminated. now with our new received powers and identities, we have everything in our hand.
Today, I was Reborn..
and that folks is the cover story behind ThunderShreds Bio Card
, seems like it hints of new releases or just a story .
okay people, im here to give a pictorial review of Fansproject Causality CA-03 Thundershred, and i shall go over
Packaging, Bot mode, gimmicks and Transformation to Alt mode and Alt mode
Here we Go:
The Packaging :
Front
Side
Back
Top
Bottom
Blister Packaging
The packaging is made of Durable hard cardboard and sealed at the side flaps with the trademark FP circular seals,
box size is the same as warcry and flame blast, has a very convenient plastic window for you MISB fanatics
. so you dont have to remove the toy 
. the plastic blister packaging is made of very durable plastic and seals the toy in very tightly and secure also its sealed by the plastic seal tapes at each side. the instructions and bio card are attached onto the silver back card.
BearMafia's Score :
i give it 4 smiles on the basis of good packaging a mix of both G1 and Modern FP creativity, however they could save space by placing the accessories underneath the blister pack to save space, if you think about it, the where you can see the toy? thats just the only part thats filled, the rest is just a waste of space. all in all, the packaging is nice.
Bot Mode :
here i have him with his full extended claws..really long..
View from the top, again very long claws.
testing out his tight hips and articulation on the knees and ankles
Standing straight for the front view, very neat and menacing looking robot, definitely an upgrade from G1 mold.
Side View, again all the dimensions are filled nicely.
Closer view of his claws. it uses the same clip system and peg systems as the TF generation/united molds. and also theres a place for all his gimmicks even in alt mode.
closer view of his torso, as you can see from the head mold, or the whole mold in general, its focused on the bots being ninja's. and as you can see on his...um torso, theres sort of a logo of his name sake.
closer view of his feet from the front, very solid and stable and motions on his feet are quite articulated.
his feet from the back.
The Bot From the back, this reveals his alt mode legs and head
also if you notice the peg hole in the center, thats where his shuriken is attached when not in use.
BearMafia's Score :
i give him 5 smiles on the basis on the botis very durable, i accidentally dropped him just now, and theres not even a dent or scratch, the plastic is very solid and doesnt have that cheap feel, the robot mode itself has multiple points of articulation, from head to ankle, and his ball joints are quite snug. i actually moved his hips about. 100 swivels and a consistent force, and its still tight and snug. he holds his weapons in place and the clip system on his wrist that holds his blades are just ingenious
The Gimmicks:
The BIG SHURIKEN, he holds it firmly and balanced, and as you can see it utilises all of his claws.
The Normal Shuriken and shorter Claws
i love this pose as well as the gimmick.
heres where he stores the shuriken when not in use, actually even with the big shuriken, you can still fit in behind here. i forgot to take pics of it
and here is the front with the shuriken attached at the back, amazingly enough its hidden
BearMafia's Score :
i give it 4 smiles, why? i said i loved the gimmicks, so whats wrong? ok...here we go, even it being simple and yet complex at the same time, the only problem i have with this that the peg holes connecting both to the wrist or creating the long claws, can go either loose or snug, not exactly perfect. almost
The Transformation and Alt mode:
first lift the insect head, twist and attach.
Twist the hips 180 degrees and push the hips back (yes it is necessary)
open the feet, fold and lock to the peg on the side of the legs.
rotate the entire shoulder piece, NOT SHOULDERS, but the piece..refer to the first pic to see the difference.
when you rotate the entire shoulder piece, the arms go up with it.
pull down the arms, rotate the biceps at 90 degrees and prepare them to be inserted to the legs like so.
gently and properly align the arms and fold in the legs.
this is the view from the other side, oh i forgot to mention, there are peg holes on the sides of the legs and pegs on the hips, lock them in.
this should be what you should be having after all that phew...
align the insect legs down.
clip in the Weapons and WALLAAA......
The KUWAGA BEETLE
(Kuwaga-Kamakiri-Batta) kekekek
this view is just weird.......
BearMafia's Score :
4 Smiles, lets see, well just like MP-09 , it requires finesse and precise transformation, getting it right for the first time is not entirely impossible, but it can be annoying, the cybernetic beetle mode looks awesome, its like a military vehicle huhu (skynet anyone?) however at certain views and angles, the beetle looks quite weird and also doesnt look like a beetle at all, especially from the front.
OVERALL SCORE:
its a welcome addition to the classics line, and im quite impressed with what Fansproject has done, i cant wait for the rest of the two figures
, the size is on par with the deluxe figures and the articulation is definitely one of its key features, the gimmicks are simple but effective and its quite durable, the toy is quite durable. is it a worth buy? for me it is, if youre a classic/generations collector, go ahead an add this to your line. im sure youll love it as much as i do
Thanks for Viewing
