Backstreet by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: As Triggerbots go, he's fairly good. His guns work for him, unlike others, like Dogfight whose guns work against him. Still, there are other, better toys of this size.
Bad Boy, Pathfinder and Treads by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: Tech specs for Bad Boy, Pathfinder and Treads, half of eHobby's exclusive Gobot team.
Bantor by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: It's a strange combination, but the fusion is quite well done, combined with a good a sculpt and paint job, it makes for a good beast mode. Unfortunately Bantor really falls down in his robot mode.
Banzai-Tron by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: An interesting concept I'd like more with a better colour scheme.Razor-Sharp is a poor partner, so I'd only really recommend Banzai-Tron if the martial arts thing appeals, or Actionmasters are your thing.
Battle Patrol by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: One of the better Micromaster Patrols, perhaps the best thing about this set is that it has no dud members. The colours work well and the play value is better than a lot of Micromasters.
Battle Squad by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: The combinations work quite well here - from a jet with a giant cannon on it's back to a flying armoured car to an armoured track attached to a tank, it's a pretty cool combiner squad. The components range from very good to poor, but they work well as a s
Beachcomber by Dirge
Rated: G •
Summary: Beachcomber has good colours, two strong modes and there's really very little dragging him down. If you're a G1 fan, you'll like Beachcomber.
Beachcomber (G2) by Dirge
Rated: G • Summary: Beachcomber has the sort of stupid colour scheme that G2 has been remembered for. It's still a good mould, but I'd recommend the original over this version.
Birdbrain by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: With a hybrid bat-bird shell and a warthog monster mode, Birdbrain should really make been called something else. The warthog and robot modes are forgettable, although the shell is decent.
Blades by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: Well, like his fellow small Protectobots, Blades has a few problems holding him back. He's certainly better than Groove or Streetwise, but he's not brilliant. Worthwhile getting for the size & price you'll pay, but not worth looking too hard for - unless
Blast Off by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: A pretty good square-peg style combiner limb, although his colours are somewhat strange and it's a stretch to have a combat space shuttle. The robot mode is poseable, albeit the lower legs are somewhat disappointing.
Blast Off (Blackout) by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: Blast Off has a very good robot mode and a good chopper mode, but the colours aren't as nice as they could be - which is proven when you place him next to Vortex, who shares the mould.
Blast Off (G2) by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: A pretty good square-peg style combiner limb, and easily the best G2 Combaticon colour scheme, even if he _is_ a camouflaged combat space shuttle. . I'd still say the original is better, but this toy's not that far behind it.
Blastcharge by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: Definitely one of the more unusual Vehicons, but therein lies the appeal. With a great vehicle mode and a distinctive robot mode, Blastcharge offers a lot that other Transformers can't.
Blastcharge by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: Probably my favourite repaint in the entire Transformers: Universe line, and he's the last gasp of that failed line. Both modes are good and the blue plastic brings something the original lacked.
Blaster by Dirge
Rated: G • Summary: A toy that's clearly built around his alternate mode, Blaster has a great ghetto blaster mode and a robot mode that makes compromises. While I can see why these compromises had to be made, I still find Blaster somewhat disappointing overall.
Blaze by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: My least favourite Sparkabot mould, now in random neon colours. Blaze does have the best colours of the G2 Sparkabots, and since he sports a new name, if you only get one G2 Sparkabot, get Blaze.
Blitzwing by Dirge
Rated: G • Summary: Considering it's age, this is a pretty clever design. Blitzwing is a mix of both good and bad, but for me comes out on the good side simply because the whole Triple Changer thing has always had a magic to it. There are better Triple Changers (i.e. Astrotr
Blot by Dirge
Rated: G • Summary: I'm pretty neutral on Blot. He's got a weak robot mode and a decent though somewhat ill-defined monster mode.
Bludgeon by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: Bludgeon is a sought after toy, thanks to the character's portrayal in the Marvel comics. While the inner robot isn't terribly memorable, the pretender shell is very well done, making him worthwhile for fans of pretenders or the Marvel comics.
Blueburner by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: A tech spec for Blueburner, a character based on G2 Blast Off.
Bluestreak by Dirge
Rated: G •Summary: This is a good mould, and Bluestreak has the best colour scheme of the three toys that used this mould. Even if you have the others, I'd still recommend him.
