$50 for a voyager sized Siege Shockwave (which is what we are getting) is a much bigger rip off by comparison.

Wait... WHAT?

Yup, Seige shockwave is a voyager sized bot who will be sold at leader price due to extra accessories. That means 50$ usd fot voyager shockwave, or 70$ CAD

Hmmm.... To be fair, it's like having a voyager Optimus Prime with a fully transformable trailer. I'll take the wait and see approach before casting my final jujement.


But as for Cyberverse, appart the voyager priced "leaders", this line suck mighty ass.

We knew that the Cyberverse toys had code names derived from Seinfeld characters. What we did not know is that we would have to search for these toys under those names to find them once they were released. But don't worry, in case you didn't know that Acid Storm was Uncle Leo, we have the links below for you to find these toys, and purchase them if you feel so inclined. While they are on the simpler side, some of the sculpting is downright gorgeous. Check out some shots of Megatron's noggin below as an example. Each are around the $19 mark and are ship and sold through Amazon, and thus Prime eligible.

Big thanks to Scotty P for finding these for us.

Megatron - https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-E19 ... 0787G4DG2/
Windblade - https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-E19 ... 0787GT563/
Acid Storm (shortpacked and thus low stock) - https://www.amazon.com/Tra-Cyberverse-W ... 0787JNJTH/

Megatron HELLO!

[Ig89ninja]

Now I want someone to do a skit with these figures that includes the Seinfeld theme (I’m looking at Emgo)

[Bumblevivisector]

Shame that Uncle Leo couldn't turn out to be anyone from Victory.

Or that Newman couldn't be a Dinobot.

Oh well, I just hope this amusing practice continues.

Be reminded that this is a kiddie show, and the toys match that, quality wise. I was able to pick up Acid Storm last week, and while I don't expect MP, SS or even Generations quality with a kiddie show toy line..... she's just made out of sturdy, but cheap plastic, and this line is way more gimmick focused. Because of the gimmick, her wings don't really peg into place in her jet mode, so they're kind of floppy. She is one of the very few of this line that I'll get, and only because fembots.

Yeah, some miscommunication there. The Hasbro.com bio used male pronouns while the episode that first featured Acid Storm had the character voiced by a woman using an unambiguously female voice.

'Course, none of the dialogue was anything character-specific. Just some grunting and a single line of "Yes, captain," spoken to Slipstream. If not for the end credits specifically identifying this Seeker as Acid Storm, it could have just been any generic female green Seeker, as she also didn't have Acid Storm's exact color layout seen in the Hasbro character art. Nor did her partner really resemble Thrust that much despite the end credits likewise labeling him as such.

'Fusion Mace' weapon? Bad idea! Any back swing impact would hurt Megatron seriously!

Keep in mind that Transformers has a history of spitting in the face of science. Remember Starscream having that massive drill in his arm in that one G1 episode? And how Galvatron can be any size he wants? (I know that part was a dream sequence, but it was still fun.)

Megatron's gun mode can be any size he wants.

In Carnage in C-minor, Galvatron and Ultra Magnus could apparently be any size they wanted.

Neil Degrasse Tyson has had to repeatedly disillusion Star Wars fans asking if lightsabers could actually work; is there any record of Transfans asking him if personal subspace pockets are just baseless magic or something technology could actually pull off in 3 or 4 centuries?

Spotted Windblade today at Walmart and was very tempted.



She has an excellent face sculpt and deco. Seems to have a pretty decent transformation as well. What's the gimmick here? Push the wings down and the fans spin?

Looks very similar to the RID2015 version.

I think it's like Starscream's, only without the spinning waist. Just the wings open up to reveal details or something. Personally, I really want to get her.

That's when you look for reviews

Windblade's gimmick is a bit less obvious, but when you push the cockpit on the back down, the bottom of the wings (ending up on the front in robot mode) swing up, making the turbines spin.

Sounds fun and I saw she has knees! I have all the other Windblades...

[X3ROhour]

i almost got her.

after the disappoint of Starscream
and
the surprise of Shockwave

i am leaning towards her and Acid.

Thanks to site owner, Seibertron, we now have pictures showing that the wave 2 one-step changers have arrived! The wave consists of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream. They were found at Rolling Meadows Meijer. They should also be making their way to retailers across the country and worldwide in due course.









Also of interest, is that Meijer is having a 20% off sale on Transformers toys till November 10th, making now a good time to start looking for deals on Transformers you want.

Will these make it to your collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

[Bumblevivisector]

And since PotP scouts had already been price dropped to about $7, this sale puts them under $6!

I would've mentioned this earlier in sightings, but I only today made my final card-collecting rounds...

I wonder how those genuine first one-steps would hold up?

No better or worse than the previous ones I'd imagine. Ideal desk toys.
