Did you read my news post?

Just making a casual observation to chuckle at.

Its all good, I like chuckling too

This does give us a point of reference though.

Are these available at retail in South America or wherever these are going to be sold?

There have only been reports of online retailers, nothing brick and mortar yet.

That Megatron picture on the box is making this look to be a nicely styled, if simplistic G1 Tank Megatron.

I am kinda diggin these...I guess my simplified OP from Prime got me going on stuff like this...Couple things though:
* DAMN 11" OP needs some sides in vehicle mode. Thats just odd to me.
* Talk about MISTRANSFORMED?!? Poor Megs....smh
* Bumblebee looks pretty sharp in bot mode...just WISH he wasnt BB.

Would an 11" Decepticon have killed them, by the way?

I don't find anything special with these figures. They are just bigger versions of Legends class toys, just as those final waves of Beast Hunters toys, Deluxe or Voyager class sized Cyberverse toys.

Well, Decepticons have been known to kill people.

This "simplified" direction Hasbro is heading in is terrible. Couldn't they at least hid the hollowness? These just look cheap and are still going to be overpriced.

I know I'm in the minority but I really like that Megatron.I've had a hard time pulling the trigger on the leader class versions for various reasons mostly due to scale.This one fits size wise with the voyagers class figures and in my opinion at least with my collection more in scale with everything else.

I'm considering it for similar reasons.

Considering the 11 inch tall ones are the price of a Voyager or an overpriced Deluxe, these are an excellent value.

Thought these were also going to be released in American stores. If not, Thinking some American based import sites will sell them. Just hoping the sites mark up prices are not too high.

Really getting sick and tired of Hasbro taking away a bigger Decepticon toy. Just to put a Big Bumblebee toy in it's place.

Would have liked to see a G1 Galvatron as the Decepticon Eleven inch Cyber series toy.

The lack of a big Megatron to pit against the big Optimus does suck. However, the big Bee is a smart move because this is a line with kids in mind and kids LOVE Bee. I know a few and all the younguns are hardcore Bee fans.

So, it should have been a big Megs WITH Bee and OP. Not instead of Bee.

I think this line is great. Much better than the smash and flip kind, with way more articulation than those and a nice sleek look to them. The price is fine too, cheaper than the more complex toys of their size. This will be great for young kids. You know guys, people are complaining about the simplified kiddie toys and shampoo bottles but that just means that this brand is huge enough to expand to other kinds of toys to grab as many consumers as possible. This isnt the only line with shampoo bottles:

Saw the big Optimus and Bumblebee in store here in Brazil

That's mostly the big ones.

Sometimes it's a big Optimus or Grimlock, and they've skimped on Decepticons a bit at smaller price points too in several places, AoE being the wors offender.

I know there's a lot of hate for Beast Hunters, but this, they at least did right with that, albeit by using the Predacons as a balancer. We even got a big electronic Predaking.

...And I'd kinda like to see some non-G1 stuff in the Cyber Series, as crazy as that sounds. Maybe a Bulkhead or Tarantulas?

Doesn't RID Grimlock in AOE colors count twice?

Wow, I'm glad this isn't a marvel fansite, cause the collective hate on those figures would break my laptop. Does anyone actually buy that expensive trash?

They make more of em than the transformers variety so I guess yeah, they sell. Little kids want nice big toys of their favourite heroes and these are child proof and durable and cost less than a smaller Marvel legends figure so everyone wins (except for fans)

I think it was said at a Bot-Con, Toy-Fair, or SDCC but these figures sell. Apparently there's some nostalgia factor to them.

It's G1 Grimlock in AoE colors, actually, and I'm not wild about the movies, either to be honest.

Maybe if it were G1 Grimlock in green, I'd feel different.

But what I really hope for is characters that aren't G1 characters or updates thereof, or are "new" G1 characters from 1996 or later (this covers a lot of ground, from Megaplex to Windblade). I know it's a pipe dream, just wanted to get it off my chest.
