Would have been nice if it was even bigger but I guess it has to stick to the size classes.

I would argue against the TR one being better engineered.
The Cyberverse one could be equally as posable if they used the proper joints, but that's a cost decision not engineering.
Removable croc head is an engineering weakness to me, and was it really actually removable? The Cyberverse one tucks it into the figure, eliminating that backpack without any removal needed, and it does not impact the croc mode.
Cyberverse could easily have a headmaster, and still have a cockpit for it, but the character in Cyberverse was not a headmaster so it wasn't needed, but could easily have been done.
Base mode is all fiddling, no engineering whatsoever.
Agreed it would have been nicer to be bigger, but it works for its size.
Even with the limitations posed on it by the kid-friendly line and budget, i would say Cyberverse contains the better engineering. Smarter, tighter, more fun package. Just needing the couple extra things for posing, but again cost not engineering

So it was a pleasant surprise when the figure showed up in-stock on Amazon. The figure really doesn't disappoint, transformation is fun and the armor gimmick is one of the best I've seen. If you're a fan of the Cyberverse line this is a definite pick up, for those who might want to try something new with their Transformers, give this figure a shot too.
What retool? You don't mean Skullcruncher, do you? D-Max's pics showed it's a complete different, bigger mold from the Titans Return Deluxe.DMSL wrote:Just a retool, nothing to write home about.

Heck, it's so cool that Cyberverse canonized the idea of Maccadam being Alchemist Prime when that connection was only a possibility, rather than a fact, in Fun Pub's Ask Vector Prime fiction.

Look on Nexus Prime's shoulder.

Though, why Movie Dropkick for Amalgamous?
I guess.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Honestly, Amalgamous does not have any figure that even sort of remotely looks like him, but movie Dropkick with his backwards knees and heavy upper torso that has so many parts sprawled in all directions, might be the closest figure i own to the appearance, so since he was the only of the 13 without a good standin, I figured why not?

Had it been me, I would have used the Car Robots Gigatron mold in some freakishly bizarre configuration with all his limbs approximating the orientation of Amalgamous's limbs seen in his main artwork.
