With Hotrod, wish his wheels where the same color as on the package. Would look much better!

Can you take more p8cs at various angles for both modes? We havent seen much of them so it could make for a news story.

I can see it, it's sort of adorable to think about

I was just talking about getting a Quintesson figure in the "War for Cybertron" discussion. This one looks great. Today's actually my birthday, and it looks like I just got an extra gift...

Why are they pushing this crappy dollar store KO quality garbage so hard? They need to drop this horrible baby crap & focus on Generations & Studio Series. Why did they even go in this direction after 35 years of awesome???

Who says that they're not ALSO doing the things that you want? I think we've gotten 120+ products out of Generations and Studio Series combined in the past year and a half or less. That's pretty amazing. That's some pretty amazing amounts of new product geared toward the collector market that has mostly been sold at retail, with the exception of Generations Selects (which has so far been fairly easy to get online with the exception of the Seacons).

Some of us like the light hearted / kids-geared Cyberverse and Rescue Bots products. On a personal level, I love that Cyberverse has already added a really cool twist to the Quintessons by giving them these "mind-control" devices that attach to Transformers. I'm looking forward to seeing how this unfolds in the Cyberverse storyline and how this potentially impacts anything related to Quintessons going forward.

When the hell will Hasbro learn that toys are NOT for children! You think a 6 year old wants to play with cool robots? They don't even understand the deep lore behind the character that toy portrays! Here little Jimmy, go play with something you'll understand.

Preach it! This Quintesson stuff is exciting to think about for what might happen in Season 3 of the show.

It's especially intriguing since the show already gave us a fun brand new take on the Sharkticons that featured them uniquely as their own autonomous culture without any sign or trace of the Quints, so whatever connection might be made between the two in Season 3 could lead to some more fun with the surfer dude Sharkticons. :D

What's really amazing to me is the brand itself at the moment. There really is something for everyone at the moment. A nice preschool line with Rescue Bots. A young kid line with Cyberverse that takes a lot of cues from the overall history of the brand that can be of interest to adult collectors. A Generations line geared toward mainstream and collectors. A movie universe line geared toward mainstream and collectors. An advanced collector oriented Masterpiece line with G1, Diaclone, toy, cartoon, Beast Wars, and Movie products. High end collectible statues, Fun product lines which appeals to a variety of people like BotBots, Tiny Turbo Changers and other products. 1-Steps. 3-Steps. A new upcoming Unicron toy. Titan Class figures! Many variations of the same character (something that was once a no-no by the brand team at the beginning of past decade). Multiple comics! Multiple cartoons! The brand has never been bigger.

It is truly an amazing time to be a Transformers fan.

This is my first time seeing that Sharkticon pack. I actually really like the look of those baby Sharkticons!

The Quint judge ... if there wasn't a 3P option I have and if a new one for Earthrise wasn't coming I think I'd be pretty happy a G1-ish Quint was something I could have.

I totally caught that and I am surprised so few fans don't. This line takes a lot of cues from G1, which was a toyline for kids. It has the same characters as G1, along with the same basic articulation and simple enough transformations. Plus it has gimicks for kids, which the G1 line did do as well in the later years. It very much is an old school kids line and I find that fun in itself.

Also, while I did not intend this at all, my house became like a pop up christmas store for Transformers, since i was selling a small chunk of my collection. Most of the customers were parents looking for simpler toys for 4-6 year olds. I had almost nothing for them, but this Cyberverse line would be perfectly up their alley. All to say there is definitely a market out there and this line answers a big need. It's these toys that can make new young fans that will one day support the brand when they are older.

I love that their approach was to sort of introduce kids to all of these great characters from various parts of the franchises' history. I noticed that these Cyberverse figures sold relatively well as a lot of the stock didn't hang around for too long at my local retailers. I'm hoping to acquire as many of the newer deluxes as I can. Hope to see more Beast Wars characters eventually as well.

So, I definately want to see what Generations is up to first. For me, the big tirboff is that the only Quint (and the sharkticons to a much lesser extent) I can buy is in a three pack with two figures that left outbthe coolest parts about them. Now, I say that, I don't think they could have sold a Quintesson toy on its own without some sort of gimmick and bonus in the box. But if I can get a Quint on its own, then I will pass.

Are those new faces? I dont remember them from G1

Death is recognizable, but the other four faces appear to be redesigned versions.

I was hoping to pick up some baby Sharkticons at Target, but they had nothing new for Cyberverse and no end cap display. :( Guess I'll try again in a week. Going to hold off on the Quint set until we see what happens in Earthrise, we should be getting our first look in at least a month at Toy Fair if not sooner.

Judging from those teeny tiny pics, "Megatron X" looks to be simply Megatron as a black tank.
