Not bad. Shockwave's satellite is a nice Energon reference.

so it seems, thank you for pointing that out

Actually it looks like Drift only has one elbow...

Like Starscream's legs being one piece, all for the sake of the gimmick.

Hmmmmm...

Jazz's design reminds me of another design... something to do with pots and pies...

Anyway, his Autobot symbol is the Bayformers version, compared to the G1 versions of the rest.

One more Jetfire to get!

And that Ratchet is perfect. Proving that the best part of Cyberverse is the Armor guys.

That's weird, like Nathaniel Prime said that Jazz is pretty close to the PotP figure, but it also looks like his arms are based off the Classics toy. Kind of a bizarrely specific homage.

These look fun!

Woah, nice catch!

I didn't see that until you pointed it out.

(This makes me realize that I still need to find a Henkai Jazz for relatively cheap)

For some reason, Shockwaves' new head gear reminds me of other mechs.

So, who do you guys think wore it better?

Ratchet with a snowmobile makes me really happy for some reason

Jazz is a retool of the one step Prowl. All of these look fantastic.

They're not, different mechanisms. In fact, the One-Step range hardly has retools to begin with, just figures using the same style over and over.

:EDIT: and this is where re-releasing characters in the same Size Class gets confusing: It's the first One-Step, not the one shown in these images. Still not a retool: different parts, but same style.

The robots look completely different, would you rather I said reshell?

Hang on, let's start over...

As said before, releasing characters multiple times in a single Size Class gets confusing. Jazz is indeed based on the first One-Step Prowl:







And from the looks of it some parts like the blasters, feet, wheels and internal mechanisms are reused. Indeed a retool or reshell. I stand corrected.

the ones in this article look great

jetfire looks tempting. if he has neck articulation, i will bite. in the last pic, he looks like he turn his head around slightly, which indicates that, but it could also my eyes playing tricks on me, so i'm gonna wait for in-hand pics first.

Sit, be comfortable, have a cool drink.

A satellite!?!?!?! That is legit the coolest thing here, IMO. And with Shockwave too?!?!?! Now, all they have to do is paint it and/or him with more grey and green (or just go all out with green) and Hasbro is sure to piss off the fans.

Argos new catalogue

Wait is that Grimlock with a bin truck?

It appears so. Maybe he's been reduced to being King of the Scrapheap

Garbage trucks have big chomping jaws. That's Grimlock's kind of truck, right there.

Ratchet and Shockwave actually look surprisingly OK. Shockwave's satellite weapon is very cool and Ratchet's ambulance mode looks legit good.

Argos trying to get £7 more for Ark Optimus than the £40 at Smyths, yikes. At least Argos does clearences every now and then, so it should be easier to pick up some of the spark armor range discounted.

Grimlock/animated wreckgar combination dares to be stupid on a cool level, dread to thing how much the combination lowers the intelligence by.
