I know right? I'd love a tiny version of that creep!

Yes. A Cyberverse Commander figure. - http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/transformers-prime-deluxe-wheeljack-and-bulkhead-in-package-and-more-t83538s30.php#p1334123Skywarp64 wrote:Any word on if Megatron will have a cyberverse figure?

It was just a common trait (a sort of psuedo-gimmick) that all the Series 2 Prime Cyberverse Commanders had. Optimus, Bulkhead, Ironhide, Ultra Magnus and the redecos of Optimus and Bulkhead all had blue translucent plastic in their construction, while the Decepticons all had translucent plastic of a variety of non-blue colors:william-james88 wrote:Sorry for resurrecting a thread, but it is Easter and all that.
Joking aside, I was playing with Cyberverse Commander Bulkhead today just for fun (I love all these Prime cyberverse commanders) and I was wondering what the point of the clear platic is. I am happy for the extra effort and all but I don't really understand what it ads to the figure.

- Megatron: Purple
- Starscream: Red
- Dreadwing: Yellow
- Skyquake: Orange
If I had to guess as to what the specific purpose, in terms of aesthetics, was for this translucent plastic construction, I'd probably have to think it was to resemble the power of energon coursing through their bodies, as standard energon was colored blue in Aligned media, with the special kinds being in those other colors (e.g. - Dark Energon was purple, the speedy Red Energon was obviously red, etc.).
I'd completely forgotten about those playsets' light-up features.Nathaniel Prime wrote:Sabrblade wrote:It was just a common trait (a sort of psuedo-gimmick) that all the Series 2 Prime Cyberverse Commanders had.

Actually, IIRC, they all had translucent plastic to interact with the light up features of those really big playsets that came out alongside, like the Optimus Maximus one
