Movie Real Gear Booster X10 & Nightbeat 7
Review


Booster X10

Booster X-10 is an MP3 player with bluetooth ear piece - complete with clip. No really much to say here, the mould doesn't do much in this mode.

To Transform the toy, take the MP3 player and fold down the back of the circular piece to form the tail. Pull the wings out. Fold the legs down. Flip down the peg in the earpiece's antennae and attach to Booster's neck

Booster is effectively Movie Laserbeak - red colour scheme, bird mode - complete with transparent orange inner wings (thing Energon Divebomb) and a cannon on his back. Bird mode has ball jointed hips, hinged ankles and knees, pivots at the base and mid point on each wing and an up fold near the base of each wing.

Nice G1 Homage and a reflection on portable music technology moving on - Laserbeak was a tape now he's an MP3 player. Best Real Gear of all !

Booster X-10 is a Movie Real Gear Wave 2 toy which was sold with Zoom Out 25x. As well as being available individually, he appeared in the Mass Media Battle 2-pack with Speed Dial 800. The single figure was sold in the UK and also in Japan where he was numbered MD-12.


Nightbeat 7

With Nightbeat, like Wiretap, the pre publicity pictures made me expect something different to what we got. The publicity shows the toy in white and bright blue but in the plastic the white is more grey, and the blue a lot paler. The repaint still looks good though.

Nightbeat 7 is a Movie Real Gear Wave 4 toy which was sold with Wiretap V20. The figure was sold in the UK and also in Japan where he was numbered MA-17.
