vader83@TRANSFORMERS: Transformers Robot in Disguise (RID)/ Car Robots

Wow...its been a while now since my last post on Megatron family. I just about to receive another two Megatron. One is from Beast Machines (Mini Dragon Megatron) and the other one is G1 Action Master series. Hopefully i will receive them in good condition by end of Oct 09.

Last month i spent my night watching Robot in Disguise (RID) series (in Japan it is known as Car Robots). Thanks to one of my best friend, ateromen (Effendy) for the DVD. The RID series is one of the shortest series with only 32 episodes. Unlike G1, this series full of silly act by the Predacons. The story is about war between the Autobots lead by Optimus Prime (Fire Convoy) and Predacons, lead by the beast Megatron (Gigatron). In the middle of the series, the Decepticons joined Predacons. In Autobots team, beside Optimus there is RID Brothers (Prowl, Sideburn & X-Brawn), the Rail Racer (Midnight Express, Rapid Run & Rail Spike), the Spychangers, the Landfill (Wedge, Grimlock, High Tower & Heavy Load) and of course Ultra Magnus. While for Predacons there is only Slapper, Gas Skunk, Dark Scream and Sky Byte beside Megatron.

Talking about the origin of the Decepticons, they actually an Autobot`s member whom crash-landed on earth before the series get started. They are 6 of them, in primate form hibernating inside a sleeping capsule. When Autobots discovered their long lost brothers location and ready to meet them, the Predacons managed to intercept and take control of Autobots primates. As usual, the primate need a disguise body and for that, Megatron choose to scan a military vehicle since these type of vehicles are come with powerful weapon and cannon.

During the scanning process, Megatron blast his spark together with the primate spark in order to ensure their obedience to him. Hence, the mighty Ruination born. Scourge was the last and he scan a gas truck. To know how he gets Optimus face and mold, you guys need to watch the episode. Hehehe....

I must admit, RID got very cool transformers. That is why i end up buying it...almost complete now. Dusss.....i`m broke again. Huhu

At the moment i managed to the Predacons. Now i`m waiting for my Takara Ruination (Baldigus) to complete the puzzle. As for Autobots, currently i only have Optimus Prime, Magnus, Landfill and JRX Rail Racer. I`m still waiting my RID Brothers and spychangers.
