2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon

The 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon was held from 18-21st March 2010 in Precinct 2, Putrajaya, near the National Millenium Monument.

I have to admit this is the first time I came so close to a hot air balloon show. I remember my previous university in Bristol is also famous for its annual hot air balloon event but I never made any effort to visit the event back then.

There are basically 5 hot air balloons available at the venue. All of them have lashing ropes on it so it won't digress from its intended path.

The public has a chance to go onboard the hot air balloon. However, I think it is kind of lame as it only raise up to some 15-25 meters up in the air before descending down.

Later in the evening, I saw some hot air balloons flew over the Ministry of Finance building

Many people were lining up for the opportunity to go up in the air on the hot air balloon. I assume the ride is free as I do not see any price tag on it.

I also find out that each hot air balloon is assigned with a call sign, which is normally found on aircraft and merchant ship.

I am quite surprise with the attendance as the venue was virtually crowded. The city suddenly came alive on weekend. Most of them came with DSLR cameras which made me looked inferior with just a normal digital camera.

This also present me with an opportunity to view some hot chicks in short pants and skirts. Well, I don't get to see this in any normal day here in Putrajaya.

Some other activities were also introduced to spice things up such as Go-Kart, para gliding and waterball

Transformers Energon: Wing Saber

Wing Saber is originally a humble Cybertronian prison guard known as Wing Dagger in the Energon series. Wing Dagger was rebuilt by Primus after crushed below Energon Tower as Wing Saber.

The packaging by Hasbro is compact. The package indicates that Wing Saber is capable to combine with Optimus Prime.

The package comes with Wing Saber and 2 missiles.

Wing Saber alternate mode is a Cybertronian Fighter Jet. I think it has some resemblance to Stealth Bomber on earth.

The fighter jet is heavily armoured with laser cannons

There is nothing much to say about Wing Saber's robot mode. It is pretty stiff without much articulation.

Wing Saber do not have a rifle but it has a built in weapon around his knee area

He served as a valiant warrior in Prime's team and he is one of the Autobot with an air based alternate mode.

Wing Saber can powerlinx with Optimus Prime to form Wing Convoy. They can combine in 2 modes.

First, they can combine in flight mode. This mode gives Optimus Prime more air maneuverability to match the speed of Megatron/Galvatron.

Optimus Prime has a moderate fire power in flight mode.

The second mode of combination is the fight mode which gives Optimus Prime an enormous fire power against his enemy.

When combining his weapon in fight mode with Prime Forces, the combined fire power is capable to defeat the almost impenetrable Galvatron armour.

Wing Convoy size is about the same as Megatron in robot mode.

Wing Saber bio data according to Hasbro. Wing Saber is obviously heavily armoured and blessed with incredible speed to assist Optimus Prime in his conquest to defeat the Decepticons
