Official Images: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Terrorcons

I very rarely say this about Cyberverse, but... I want that entire wave.

I'm definitely going to pick up the carded Cutthroat, it looks FANTASTIC. And I'm passing on Legion Smokescreen in favor of Prowl, I feel like he looks a lot better.

Of course now I want more info on the gift set more than ever. What's going to be the deco!?

More Cybertronians to join Grimlock in the stubby arm department!

*insert "Meet the Robinsons" T-Rex joke here*

Well, I'll be leaving the "Terrorcons" combined as Abominus.

I like the terrorcons, although I hope we get a set of deluxes for them. looking at hun-grrr though, I can see that these guys will only combine one way

This was explained VERY well in another thread, but I'll try to sum it up.

Bruticus is a current character and a BIG, important character in the video game. It made sense to spend the expenditure on a deluxe-sized version. They expected it to sell (and, despite the molds' issues, it has sold VERY well and continues to do so, because it's so AWESOME).

Their doing Abominus is literally throwing us a bone. The new generation of fans has NO idea who this "Abominus" guy is other than apparently he's a combiner made of Predacons. Therefore, Hasbro decided to do it in Cyberverse Legion scale, it minimize costs AND throw us a (also very awesome) bone while they were doing it. To top it off, it sets a precedent; if combiners continue to do well, they'll make more in various scales.

I'd guess that this is at least in part a test to see if it will do well. Remember, the last gestalt we got in Legion/Legends scale was the very cool, but very poorly articulated, Rotf Devastator. They're trying an actual humanoid gestalt this time.

Good luck with that. I've never seen Legions on sale except at 5Below, and I don't have any of those around me.

I think/hope you may be referring to me. Either way, these new pictures only make me want the set more. I really love how Blight and Rippersnapper's transformations are similar but not exactly the same. Enough to show they're closely associated within a faction and even that both form legs. But different enough to exist with out the other.

Grade A stuff Hasbro

The more I look at him, the more Prowl looks like a pile of vomit. I'm disgusted by this repaint.

The only Terrorpred I want is Windrazor. Looks an amazing mold with the best damn color scheme I've seen in ages months. On the rear side: Twinstrike is bland, Hun-Gurr is indescribably awful, and Rippersnapper incorporates a boring deco. Abominus wears his moniker fittingly...what an abomination. No complaints with Blight, but I have no reason to buy him.

Soundwave looks terrific.

Oh my

Are you sure they don't combine? Is the Target set going to have special versions of the figures with some modified parts to allow them to combine? I figured they'd all combine.
