There were a few Brave figures that pulled the whole split in half to form the arms or legs thing and they were all very cool figures.

While it will never win awards for transformation and articulation, it is a fun figure that will make some people happy.

This one is Wheeljack and Grimlock. This toy came out in the US recently and is appearing at Walmarts throughout the country, first starting in Arizona.chuckdawg1999 wrote:WheelGrim is another fun Dino Combiner to be released in the Dinobots Unite subline.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Going into the specials that will end the Cyberverse series, we were shown the animated version of Volcanicus. The toy representation presented here doesn't combine, but it does transform into some form of a dragon. Something that wasn't shown in the first special that's now available on YouTube. Articulation isn't much to write home about, and the spinning transformation gimmick doesn't always work the way you'd want it to, but as of right now this is the only representation of the character.

When the entire point of a toy is the gimmick transformation you kinda need to make sure that works, all the time. If you're a fan there might be something here for you but I definitely can't recommend this for younger fans.

Is Volcanicus a good option? He seems to be rather cheaply priced from what I can gather. Does the transformation gimmick work well for a 4 year old?
How about Supreme Shockwave?

4 may be a bit too young. Maybe stick with Rescue Bots for now?
But if you want to introduce him to something more "grown up", Supreme Shockwave is a great choice. Especially because you're sure to find one on sale.

My kid is 4 and Cyberverse is perfect. He didny like the ultimate ones (very finicky transformation due tonthe auto convert gimmick).
The combining megatron and slug set is his favourite. Since its easy to get from one mode to the next and the combining gimmick is fun and works well.
Warrior Cybertronian Starscream is also good and so is one step Megatron, wheeljack and starscream.
Dont get the deluxe toys, they are too advanced. Rescue bots is a bit too easy for 4 year olds.

More of this please, Hasbro.

I actually think this is incorrect.
Slug by no means has a "simple" transformation. I would argue the opposite: his transformation might actually be more complex than the SS86 leader Slug. It is a fun transformation, but this is not something that would fit with the much younger demographic. Warrior Snarl is probably a better example of simple but still fairly posable and fun. Slug will frustrate many kids, especially with the legs and the many different steps to transform the torso

Oh, cheers for the update. It's it more frustrating than that recent (large) Hotrod you that Chuckdawg just reviewed?
Anyway, it's just good to see that at least some "perfect" TFs are cooking out (kind of "G1 transformations with good posability), which is the only gimmick I would want, at the very least.
