Actually saw this sucker at my local TRU the other day. Not one for Cybercerse, so I left it hanging.

Ratchet sounds..... bleh. >:oP

I love how all the Cyberverse Playsets and Weaponizer crap gets new animation for their commercials, and the Deluxes and Voyagers get terribly dubbed, re-used footage from Darkness Rising. >:oP

Interesting commercial. This is more along the lines of the brief "story" like commercials of G1, G2 and Beast Wars era.

I want more commercials like this.

An ok commercial for a crap toy.

If the toy had the look and poseability of the commercial model, I would buy it. But it doesn't.

It's not hard to believe. They did it for the Weaponizers.

Huh. They managed to make the thing look cool. If I hadn't already seen reviews of it I'd be impressed. Animation was cool though.

I took a still of the scene with Ratchet and BB gaping up at OP Max towering over them and made into my desktop wallpaper.

You guys are right,though. A great commercial for such a lackluster toy.

Advertising at it's best!

Looks like the Kre-o battleground.

I kinda wish Op Max would make it into the show, now. Maybe be a counter to Predaking.

Um, am I the only here thinking that the animation in this commercial is better than the animation in the actual show? I mean TF Prime has great animation, don't get me wrong, but here it looks more...polished.

They can afford to put a relatively higher amount of money into a 30 second commercial than they can a 13 hour TV season, if you break it down by how much money was spent per second of footage.

Ratchet:

(Still, why does Hasbro change my voice? Did they make me feel young?)

Not even a hundred dollars dude. It's like $35. I don't even think its that much in Canadian terms.

This is a Cyberverse playset you're beating up on, of course it's not going to be Masterpiece-crazy articulated.
