All of them, but Pathfinder would be at the top of the list for me. I found her cute back in the day.

I would prefer all gobots to be deluxe, but I preordered anyways. Its freaking cykill cmon, who wouldn't want one ?

As interested in it as I am, $100 is more than I've ever spent on all the GoBots I've ever owned. And Megatron would just keep killing him over and over again for street cred.

I really like it. I've no real nostalgic connection to the GoBots, heck, I probably had more Rock Lords, but it's a nice design and looks like a fun toy. This is Voyager size in bot mode? That'd work for me and the price isn't too bad for what'd likely be a one-off figure for me. Maybe get Crasher, and Tux if they made them. Oh, and the armoured car dude I had as a kid. Okay, so yeah I'd probably get a few Gobots.

Mania King now Cy-kill,UT keeps hitting so many home runs. This toy is epic. I love the Sculpt,articulation,Colors & scale.

UT's negative on this is the $99.99 price. If UT wants to charge $100+ for toys. Then UT needs to up the size to Eight inch Ultra to make the $100+ price worth it.

From the looks of the alt mode it seems that the shoulder spikes in bot mode are removable. I hope so, as I'll want to display him without them for a more original 'Gobots' accurate look.

I sort of wish they'd have gone with a more traditional/accurate Gobots alt mode rather than such a real-world motocycle, particularly since I HATE how the shins don't match (a-la RTS Wreckgar :SICK:

), but I can live with it.

I'm still really excited for this and I hope that UT continues dishing out the Gobots. It's definitely a lucrative and untapped market as I've seen many TF collectors requesting modern Gobot homages/updates from Has/Tak and third parties.

Oh wow, that looks fantastic, really liking this.

The face looks a litle too friendly though, he could use a Face like Marvel's Apocalypse.

Thirding how great he looks.

The high sculpt,Articulation & Scale is what I Always wanted in a newer Wreckgar HasTak toy. This toy is a Home run.

TFormers .
So it turns out the DX9 is the name of the designer. He designed the Sharkies, Soundmixer and Maniaking for Unique Toys, and is making Salmoore. A homage to the Cy-Kill character. According to BBTS the figure will be a voyager scale toy that will begin shipping sometimes between now and end of June. Read on to see the new images. You can pre-order the figure now for $99.99 USD at

Photos Robotkingdom.

Thanks for the newer pics.

UT needs to start making their toys bigger & more bulky. :BANG_HEAD:

UT Blaster is already a small & thin 6.3 Inch tall Voyager toy. Now it appears UK Cykill is even smaller & thinner than UT Blaster. It looks like UT Cykill is around 6.1 inches tall.

Well, it is a motorcycle guy. And traditionally neither he nor Leader-1 were really beefy.

Don't we need a toothy grimace?

Indeed, Cy-Kill ha always been a slender fellow with large shoulders (due to the wheels being on his shoulders just as they are with this figure):

I just wish his legs matched rather than going the Wreck-gar route, but I totally understand why they needed to do it that way. This doesn't exactly make for a realistic alt mode:

Those new pics sold me on it. The two wheels arent so big after all without the stupid armor. I really wish it wasnt so big. He is freaking huge by gobot standards. But since he is smaller than mania king, at least he wont tower over the rest of my gobots homages and get banished to the coffee table.

I was more or less complaining about UT trying to pass off a Salmoore deluxe toy as a Voyager. For the purpose of charging $99 for it.

6.1 inches tall for Salmoore is what most taller deluxes like 2.0 Cyclonus are in height. I need to see a comparision pic of 2.0 Cyclonus scaled next to Salmoore. So I can see how tall & beefy Salmoore is compared to Cyclonus.

I'm not sure why you like the precision of measurements so much. I, myself, have a hard time immediately knowing what 6.1" is without taking out a ruler. I prefer a relative look, as in the above where UT Soundmixer is about MP Bluestreak in height, which would make Salmoore about the same height as MP Bluestreak, which would be a small Voyager or very large Deluxe, in my opinion. (There's a pic of UT Soundmixer next to UT ManiaKing in that thread, if it helps you.)

There are tall deluxes, but it looks like Cy-Kill has enough bulk there int he body and wheels to safely qualify as a voyager. It's not all about the height.
