I can get Polar Claw because he would be a little more complex, but what makes Gears have budget issues?

Budget issues with the line overall, not with the individual figures. Evidently Gears and Polar Claw were considered the lowest on the priority scale, and so they were the unlucky ones who got axed.

Hey...I couldn't figure out how to tag you in a post...anyways.

Can I make a request? Is a gallery coming for Kingdom Cheetor? If I could make a smollll little ask...could you post a pic or two of him holding a weapon other than the tail whip? I saw a few pix on another forum of him holding, I guess, Siege Prime's rifle or something, and it kind of make it seem like a different Cheetor entirely. Anyway, just a request, I know you have a life and taking photos is a time consuming thing! Thanks.

I have it and it looks just fine to me.

Same, but I am also not picky with my gears.

His head is too "Brawn" for me. I wont accept a Gears that isn't just a big face sticking out of a wall-like upper torso. Of that whole list that Jelze posted he's the only released figure I don't have.

This teeny head looks just fine to you?
*shrug* Okay.

Silly thought: Imagine if Gears was done WFC Deluxe Minibot style, but as a Voyager. With the extra mass being made up by a trailer full of potatoes.

Can you list any other official Gears figures that are more accurate to either the comic or the cartoon?

So, apparently Gamestop claims to have Cyclonus in stock right now. Either he's mislabeled in the system like those free figures they briefly had, or they got a solid case of Cyclonus because he's the only Kingdom figure that's "in stock" according to their website

Is this in the US or Canada?

Also it appears someone finally reviewed Cyclonus for Kingdom

I'm looking at the US site, but I don't know if Canada's site also has it in stock

My thoughts on the Core main characters so far:

Starscream is a big nope. Seriously, those fists visible in front of the wings in jet mode are absolutely unforgivable. It's "Superman syndrome" all over again.

Megatron look like a ton of fun. Even the turrest rotate in tank mode! Only fault of the tank mode are that "rear bumper" made out of his feet. Not a dealbreaker. The true fault is that GINORMOUS backpack in bot mode. But the fact that he come with himself as a gun make me forgive him.

Optimus seems to be the best of the bunch in his "if it's not broken don't fix it" mentality.

I may insta-buy OP and Megs if I see them in store. As for Screamers, only on clearance.

I'm kinda coming around on Core Starscream. At first I disliked it cause he looked too bloated, but as I've been looking at it again, I'm thinking I may get him, especially if we get that rumored core Soundwave because then we'll have almost the entire Decepticon cast from MTMTE at the Legends scale if we include Skywarp, TC, and Shockwave from CW.

It had to be US simply because Hamestop is not a thing in Canada, it only goes by EB Games here.

Gamestop accepts Quadpay and Sezzle, so even though I have to pay to ship, I went on ahead and ordered him as well. I previously had him on order at Amazon with free shipping, but I don't have a Cyclonus in my collection, so I'm willing to pay a couple of dollars more to get him early.

I'm keeping my Amazon preorder active until I actually have Cyclonus from Gamestop in my hands.

Yeah I think I should try getting Cyclonus from Gamestop, too. Hope it works!

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Sentinel_Primal, we have word on a video review featuring Transformers WFC Kingdom Cyclonus. For some reason, this was the one figure that early reviewers were unable to obtain and this review comes even after these toys were sent to fan site owners and the like. But at least we have it now. These toys should be showing up at retail any day now with an official release date of January first. Let us know what you think and if you'll be getting him. For those wondering about Cyclonus' friends, we are getting a voyager Scourge in the Studio Series line (also due out soon and already appearing in Australia) and a Galvatron in the Kingdom line later in 2021.

Yep, this guy definitely high on my want list. Clean, no kibble on both modes, great articulation, now i just need sword to complete the look for me.

Sentinal Primal, I liked your review. Thanks for sharing!

I too went for it via Gamestop... Merry Christmas to me. But we'll see what happens. Definitely not canceling my preorder with Amazon yet. But if this works out that will be sweet.
He really looks like an incredible figure!!!

Not my review, it just popped up in my Recommended :lol:

I just figured I'd share the link with everyone cause we've had reviews for everyone else in Wave 1 and I know some people were excited to see a review for Cyclonus

A shame Scourge is smaller, still a really good Cyclonus though and I'm tempted for it despite being happy with Cw/UW and classics. SS86 Scourge might make for a better partner with CW/UW and because Siege Ultra Magnus is a shrimp he might look good with Kingdoms Cyclonus for their punch up.
