Wings Of Uranos

         Hello and good day to you all. Today I'll be doing a review on Uranos's upgrade kit- Wings Of Uranos! Very happy that I'm able to grab this upgrade kit, but it is a bit pricey. Cost around RM120-150 (36-45 USD) depending where you got it. Got mine at the higher end :(  but its ok..... Crazy things Transformers fans do..... lol. Anyway, move onto the review.

The upgrade kit comes in a box with a very cool drawing of Uranos with upgrade kit.

At the back of the box you will find the actual upgrade kit and the figure.

Comes with line drawing like the other members of the Uranos Project.

Also comes with a collector's card.

Included in the upgrade kit is a big poster similiar to the front of the box

These are the upgrade kits. Basically we can divide them into 2 main groups. The set for the Uranos combiner mode and for individual robots.

It has 4 piece to form his canon.

1 face plate

2 neck support

1 chest piece

1 crotch piece

The other group consists of 4 guns and 4 sets of missiles for Air Raid, Fireflight, skydive and slingshot. The big issue with this Uranos upgrade kit is that there is no instruction manual, so you basically have to try to figure out how to fit in the pieces. The upgrade for combiner mode is not that difficult, but when it comes to the missiles and guns, you basically can mix and match depending however you want it to be.

This is the original Uranos combiner head looks like. He does not have a face plate like G1 Superion and his neck area looks a bit weird and hollow.

This is how he looks like when you put on the face plate and neck support. 

I must admit that he looks much much better with the upgrade for his face and neck.

The only drawback is that with the neck support, his head cannot rotate up or down. Now he only rotates side to side.

Once you've added the chest piece he really looks more and more like G1 superion, although not 100%, we are getting there :)

As you can see, I've added the Autobot logo at his chest piece. Very cool indeed, and fits nicely too

Next we put on his crotch piece.......

And there you have it! Superion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a whole, the upgrade kit does make it look more G1-ish, the upgrade for the combiner mode works for me. I'm satisfied with the end result.

His canon is made of the 4 pieces of parts shown in the picture above.

Eat this Decepticon scum!!!

Looks very cool with his canon, and much more G1 then the original Uranos.

He does looks cool with 2 canons instead of 1 :)

The other members with their new weapons. I'm not sure which belongs to who, so I just gave it to whomever I want.

Slingshot looks happy :)

The missiles for the jet mode does make the jet cooler. I don't think anyone will complain with the added firepower. Nice upgrade. But to insert the missiles, you will have to take off his landing gears at the side of his wings.

This is how it looks like from below.

Fireflight looks good with this gun. Gave this one to him as it has a red stripe on the gun itself. I guess it is meant to be his?

Again nice upgrade with the extra missiles. No complains here.

Choose this gun for Skydive as it has the black and grey that matches him.

Skydive has the heaviest arsenal among the arielbots I suppose :)

Armed and dangerous.....

Air Raid has the oval barrel shape gun as he is my favorite :)

You will have some trouble attaching his fuel pod as the missiles will get in the way. I try to attach it to the side of Air Raid.

Pros: Upgrade does make him more G1. Canon looks cool.

Cons: A bit expensive for the upgrade, the missiles does not make much changes, just a cool add on, not a must. The guns for the Arielbots too, not a must. No instruction manual

Verdict: Well I won't say it is a mush have upgrade kit for Uranos as it is a bit expensive from my point of view. If you have the extra cash, you can go for it. If you really wanted a more G1 accurate Superion, go ahead and grab it. But I think that if they just include the upgrade kit for the combiner mode and throw away the missiles and the guns, the price would be much more cheaper and affordable for all ( maybe around RM40-60) . Just my thought.

Anyways, thank you again for reading. Do drop me a comment for any questions and anyway I can make my blog better. Cheers!!!
