Those wheels on the inside of his shoulders look sooo weird.

I knew this would happen eventually, Optimus is a retool of AOE Galvatron. Here's my review from back in the day when I called the possibility of of retools. If you'd like to rub my belly for luck and wisdom it's $5 for every rotation.

Looks more like just reused transformation ideas to me.

...Which is the new name of the game. Instead of reusing most of its parts, just reuse the transformation with a few tweaks and there you go.

Wasnt that basically the deal with all of G1 as well?

Not quite. The Autobot Cars and larger toys focused on retooling or switching out parts, while smaller toys like the Jumpstarters, some Mini-Bots and most Micromasters have shared transformations instead. More recently, the AoE One-Steps had a few standard schemes (the "switchblade" has become a mainstay), which RiD 2015 expanded on. Cyberverse seems to be revisiting some.

Why is it that pretty much every Shockwave of the line looks amaze balls, while the rest are quite lackluster?

Shockwave is literally way too good for the line

I think it's perfectly logical

[Rogue-Primal]

I saw some of the scout figures yesterday megatron bumblebee stsrscream optimus and shockwave. They look like upscaled legion class figures like beast hunters tried.


They're definitely f** ugly and very overpriced for their size. I will be bypassing the series. I'd rather own a bad bot like armada hotshot than any of these, im dead serious.

Because Shockwave is objectively the best Transformer, and is deserving of such quality figures.
I'm still sad that he lost the Prime Vote

[X3ROhour]

weak sauce
sad, garbage, barely a transformer
heck,
its barely a friggin Happy Meal toy.

Having once owned the entire line of the transforming Transformers: Animated Happy Meal toys, they had more play value than what I see here.

I own them all too, and they are alot more fun. But someone said that they had windup mechanisms, and I will say that they don't. The french ones do, but not the american ones that I have

i would rather play with a French Fry-bot and a Rock Lord.

The other TF-stocking department store in town has Cyberverse now, which means I got my first in-person look at Ultimate Megatron and he's possibly better than I thought from pics online. For the price (NZ$58) he's a lot of bot for the money, and he looks like fun. I quite like his headsculpt too.

[Decepticon Stryker]

So I saw Scout class Megatron in a store and something compelled me to buy him. I think it might have been the scale. I caved and bought him........ And I don't regret it. It's actually kinda fun, despite not fully transforming. I actually like the half-robot/half-tank version because it reminds me of how Animated Starscream would use his legs in jet mode to fly backwards. All in all, I don't think it's that bad for the price. It could've have been better, but it also could've been a whole lot worse.

Dunno if it was mentioned before, but have a video review of Ultra Grimlock.



It's VERY impressive overall. Seriously, where's the line is at so far is definitely the Ultras.

Fixed.

Well, Megatron is a worthy buy and even if he's not for me, only good things were said about Optimus. Plus the way this Grimlock transform is pretty original. I want Grimlock, Megs, and Shocky so far. I'm really curious to know how Bee and Screamers will turn out?

All toys were covered here https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... oys/41774/

And that leader megatron is really not all that great. I only like his alt mode and transformation.

How much was it in CAN$?
Anyway, may be worth buying at the very least on sale.

40

40$CAN + taxes for a toy of that size is not too shabby. Considering it's the same price for a movie voyager.

From Hong Kong and their branch of Toys R Us, one of the few still resisting to stay open, we have news of another warrior class figure from the currently releasing Transformers: Cyberverse toyline - which will accompany the new animated series due this fall in the US - and it's another of the seeker team: Thundercracker!

The toy can be found on the TRU site here, currently listed for HK$169.90 (approx USD 21 at the time of writing), and sporting a whole lotta blue paint all over and the Action Attacker gimmick Lightning Slash. Check it out below!

Thundercracker and the evil Decepticon Seeker jets soar through the sky launching attacks on Autobots.

Convert and attack with Transformers Cyberverse Action Attackers!Change figure from vehicle to robot mode in 7 steps. The last step of conversion automatically activates Thundercracker figure's signature Lightning Slash Action Attack move! Once converted, attack move can be repeated through easy reactivation steps.

Look for other Action Attackers figures, each sold separately, to discover the signature attack moves of favorite Cyberverse characters!

[ZeroWolf]

That deco doesn't look too bad, at least not to my eyes. Just wish he knees though.

[steve2275]

I like it

Whelp, guess I'll begrudgingly "good enough" finish my RiD2015 Seekers after all.

I have been eyeballing Starscream at Target and this give me a reason to check out the mold.

I don't know why but this line confuses me. Almost bought a legion class figure until I figured out they were the ones that don't fully transform. WTH?

The warriors look pretty good. Is Shockwave the one everyone's talking about? Almost bought him, hesitated and he was the only one gone the next day.
