Looks like his fold out Cyber Key swords/gun are being treated like effect parts that store on his back, not crazy about that. Otherwise, he looks fantastic! I like that he isn't as bulky as the original and his arms are better proportioned. They had to make some changes to the torso to add in the waist rotation, but it's hard to tell if that was a good thing or not, we'll need more pictures for that.

As wavemates, not a literal 2-pack. Just to clarify.

At this rate he'll be in my hands before my preordered Beachcomber! lol

He was just saying we have the images. They are already being released in some parts of the world. There is a Hasbro Pulse fanstream occuring every Thursday in March (starting tomorrow). It stands to reason the official reveals for LU Wave 2 (and pre-orders) will be included in one of them.

With Armada, Reactivate, and even the Siege mold, and Animated and Prime updates certainly on the way for Screamer, looks like I'll have to start collecting his figures again. Dang it...

I don't even think they will be preorders, I think they will go straight up to buy

Oh hey, Starscream comes with a Cyber Key, wasn't expecting that!

I suspect it's going to be one of those times when they call it a preorder to not piss off retailers but they'll ship in a week anyway. This is probably how they kick off the streams tomorrow with orders going up at 1 PM.

I wonder if they'll talk about Omega Prime tomorrow, maybe reveal a third tier.

Oh hey, I didn't see that initially. Cool to see that make a return, as far as gimmicks go I always liked the Cyber Planet Keys/Cyber Key Powers

Looks like it just plugs into the back of his gun for storage, rather than onto his body (the gun is stored in jet mode in the spot where the key would have gone on the original Voyager class toy).

Legacy Armada Starscream looks as great as the original version.

News Credits: 14 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 4:07 pm

Cyb SS looks amazing. Definitely pre-ordering on sight.

Hopefully it's a little larger than Legacy Armada SS. Otherwise, it's going to look odd next to my Universe Dirge.

Emerje wrote:Oh hey, Starscream comes with a Cyber Key, wasn't expecting that!

Interesting if unexpected inclusion.
Doubt it will activate anything though. Probably just plug into a slot and call it a day.

This should also be much easier to get than the original CybSS in actual SS colors was.

He’s glorious! So glad they greebled the hell out of him to get that Unicron Trilogy look. AND he comes with a Cyber Key? This is a must grab, and makes me hope for an Energon Starscream too!

Wed Mar 06, 2024 6:22 pm

It's beautiful. I love this iteration of Starscream - both as a character and design - the most of all the TF series. So happy that he's packed with so much accessories. But looking at the screws I'm afraid it might be a small Voyager as tradeoff so Hasbro can "justify" not blowing the design/production budget. Need comparison pics with other Voyagers pronto!

It might be hilarious if some OSKO company make a Titan size figure of this beauty.

New photos of Lockdown, Cannonball, Filtch, & Ferak.

News Credits: 462 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:12 pm

All of whom are part of the Walmart exclusive pirate subline that replaces the Toxitron Collection.

News Credits: 12 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:12 pm

Oh yeah I'm getting all of those. Easily.
Lockdown deserves his own mold but this will do for now. Interesting rotf face he's got there

Cannonballs claw looks a little chafo but the rest of him looks badass

Filchs face is a little too faithful to the source material but having some freaky raven/crow Pirate bot is way too cool to pass up

If ferak was just a lame repaint I would have passed. But the creepy face and jetfires wing sticks are enough effort in differentiation for me to bite. Especially so Thundertron isn't the only voyager pirate bot. Is the chest also remolded?

Speaking of Thundertron, let's see that leader already! So I know if I'll wait to get that or get the voyager

News Credits: 14 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:16 pm

Ohh, that Skids mold…. Can we kill it with fire already….
Lockdown, no surprise there. It was fairly clear that’s what Axel Grease was meant for.

Ohh, I could be convinced to pick up Fitch and Ferak though. Those are just great molds all around. And these uses are pretty interesting.

News Credits: 12 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:24 pm

Lockdown looks like a digibash lol

News Credits: 12 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:28 pm

With the way the cyclonus mold transforms, they could've given ferak a claw or something too
To follow the amputee theme going on

News Credits: 1646 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 9:39 pm

Lockdown kinda looks like ass.

Cannonball looks pretty decent, and looks like he has a cyber key too!

Ferak looks neat.

I am excited for Filch, finally, giving an RiD2015 Decepticon who never got a toy a toy!!!! This is the kind of stuff we need!

News Credits: 22 · Wed Mar 06, 2024 10:56 pm

I'll take Ferak, pass on the rest.

Lockdown is... something. Could have been a lot better. That's the Revenge of the Fallen figure head which is such a strange choice. Considering how square the body is it would have been an ideal opportunity to use the Cyberverse head design since we've already started getting Cyberverse characters in the line.

Cannonball, I don't hate him. He seems to be based on the Crankcase mold, his chest seems to pop off, so I'll be curious to see if it was retooled underneath. What's I find really fascinating is that they chose to add the doors to his shoulder sculpts, that's a super cool detail that I think most people would have forgiven them for leaving off. Curious if he has interchangeable hands, there appears to be a 5mm post on the back of the claw hand. Definitely needs some ToyHax labels to get his full deco.

Filch is pretty great, they really went above and beyond with her. Not only did they give her new bot and raven heads, but they redid most of her lower legs and the way her wings work, too. The wings on her arms are attached by 5mm pegs and probably peg onto the underside of the parts on her back similar to Airazor, just removable. She only appeared in the cartoon in bot mode briefly and on some art, I doubt many people would have cared if she was just a head on the same body, but kudos to the design team for again going above and beyond.

Ferak is odd. They didn't really try all that hard to make him look like the Botcon figure, there's no black at all and they didn't use the paint ops where they could have. The new wings and wingtip guns are interesting, but that probably means he wont have the Universe mold's nosecone like I hoped he would. I'm guessing the head is supposed to be based in part on the original figure, but then I have to wonder why they didn't use that head on the toy style Selects figure.

With so many heavy retools I'm looking forward to seeing what Thundertron looks like. Maybe the theory that he'll be a heavily retooled Tigerhawk isn't too far off. I guess we'll see for sure Thursday.
