The Cyber-Combiners are the best parts of Crash Combiners, and the Energon Powerlinx system, enhanced for 2024. Twitch and Robby make for a great pair but having both sets in I feel that the best combinations are between each human mech and each Autobot. I recommend the line and look forward to what's to come.

I've been getting that "Technical Difficulties" message for about a week now during Heavy Metal War, and all battle records for roughly the 28th (give or take a few hours) disappeared. I'm guessing all posts made during that time disappeared as well.
I just happened to still have my last response to that animated post copied via right-click, so I just pasted it again yesterday. Hope that didn't confuse anyone trying to fix the problem!

Yes, the site had technical issues and the latest posts were not backed up in the server.

Cyberverse
Hasbro Earthspark
Takara Tomy Earthspark
Though for $45 US it really should look good. Only seeing it on Takara Tomy Mall, is it an exclusive?

Skullcruncher is cute and fun. I am amazed he has now ended up in 2 modern cartoons back to back no less.
Thrash is pretty decent, though i still think the warrior is the better toy. This one can pose nicely, but his transformation is a smidge soft and fiddly for the feet in alt mode. Plus he can't actually have a sidecar. But he still works nicely.
Prowl is hilarious, I actually like him a lot more than Hot Rod from Cyberverse. Amazing what better color choices do for a mold. It is still subpar, but it at least looks the part better. I kinda wish he had a new head, but otherwise, its strangely somehow works.

The more interesting reveal is that ESD-10 DX is Prowl. This time the Cyberverse Deluxe Prowl is getting an incredible repaint rather than the Cyberverse Deluxe Hot Rod repaint Hasbro released.
Both figures are listed for 3,850 JPY ($24.00 USD) and are set to release on June 29 ,2024. Images and Amazon.jp links can be seen below.
ESD-10 Prowl-
ESD11 Slash (Thrash)

They also use "R" sounds for "L" sounds, so any machine translator is going to instinctively misinterpret "Thrash" as "Slash" since the latter is a more common word than the former.

@Sabrblade- Thank you for letting me know this- I seriously had no clue!

You know what undermines his realism? He's a two-door car. Almost every incarnation of Prowl or Barricade is supposed to be a police car, but has no real back seat.

It would be perfect if they included the blast effects which are really, REALLY good.

Apparently in Japan Fire and Police commanders use sports cars that are only two-door. I guess Prowl and Barricade were based on the vehicles of higher-ranking officers.

We know what Earthspark Prowl looks like thanks to the Hasbro Packaging (and it's not a reuse of the Cyberverse design):
Definitely going to pass on the Hasbro version since Prowl and Thrash don't come with Mandroid parts so I have no need for them.
May as well compare Thrash:
Hasbro
Takara Tomy

And I would still recommend Hasbro Prowl as a cool Checkpoint.

I've got Warrior Thrash, it's great, but not particularly accurate color-wise. Maybe I should just grab the Japanese release, too. I'll only get Hasbro's Prowl if it's on sale or clearanced.
