Arrow Slave's Star Q Rescue Team Voyager Size Review

Here's a Review for the Star Q Rescue Team Voyager Size

Video Review Link here: http://youtu.be/W4yEp3ReKeQ

So I do have to specify the Voyager size because there is two set of the Star Q Rescue Team, a Delux sized version, and a voyager Sized version. This is the Voyager sized, the bigger one... and Boy oh boy is he BIG in combined mode... like HUGE... Beside the size, the main differences between the two is that the Deluxe version seems to be much more detailed. The bigger voyager size seems to be simplified version of them. It's weird that the bigger one has less details. But... meh... I wanted a huge combiner... and by huge... Star Q Rescue Team Sure delivers.



So Apparently... according to ancient legend told, the design was created by TFC and they sold it to a 3rd party company which usually makes knockoff toys or cheaper toys for children. Star Q is now a Kids TV show in asia.

Right off the bat, the plastic quality is pretty good, it feels like it's of the Higher End of the cheaper plastic... it's pretty darn solid. Not afraid anything will break or shows stress marks at all. It's solid stuff.

Now all the robots comes with a set of weapons which are totally a knock off version of the Junkion Blacksmith's Infinity Warfare. They are ok, quality is nice, but trying to replicate the original huge sword... we'll find out that the tip of the sword are two identical pieces which does not work out, we need to different tip which will fit like puzzle pieces... this one doesnt. Sadly. But it's ok, you can reconfigure the weapons in other ways which is stilly cool. Lots of playability.



Alright so let's start off with individual robots.

First off lets' go with to me is the weakest link. The Jeep dude. I dont know their real names, and Jeep dude doesnt seem to be a representation of any G1 Protectobots so... Jeep Dude it is. Vehicule mode is pretty decent, I like it. There's nothing wrong with it at all... it's a plain jeep with spikey Grill bumper.. kinda cool actually. There's no robot kible underneath it or anything. He looks promising in that mode.



The Transformation is actually pretty cool too. Nothing like I ever seen before, there again I really liked him. But here's the problem starts, when he's in robot mode. So first off, the elephant in the room... he's got HUGE forearms... like Popeye on cyber steroids huge. That alone... is weird and fugly, yes... but still ok for a cheap unoficial TF. The main problem... along with his oversized arms, he also has a backpack which is the combiner connector... these two make it an extremely top heavy... look at the back photo and see the problem: no heels spus ar all... tiny feet... extremely top heavy and no support at all... this sucks :-(



Next up we have the ambulance chick. It could be the representation of G1 First Aid... but she cleary has a fembot head... not sure on the whole gender swap... I do see a lot of people calling her "not-Minerva" but... y'know... so we'll call her Ambulance Chick. Her vehicle mode is ok... except for one thing that really bothers me: What kind of ambulance needs Wings?



Transformation is rather simple and straight forward. Robot mode is pretty nice if you dont mind HUGE backpacks. She got wing... but no place to stick them in her back, so the wings end up pegged in her arms. But damn that backpack really is bad.




Next up we have the helicopter, "not Blade". Clearly he is the representation of G1 Blade. The helicopter is pretty good looking.the skiis are weapon blades which are awesome, he's got cool looking missile pods...
