It's not a bad set but not a great one either. It's fun though. I enjoy it cause I love the Cyberverse Cybertronian Starscream mode. So more Seekers are always welcome.

I can spot three possibly four
Perceptor, twinferno, Astrotrain and CW Dead End?

Ding ding, got them all.
Needed an Astrotrain, and the Cyberverse one takes some inspiration from the TR one, and with the Siege one now i felt I could move one over to Cyberverse.
I needed a Perceptor since we didn't get one in Cyberverse, and I got this one from a friend. It was either him or TR Perceptor, and ultimately the TR one is best on my Lost Light shelf.
Dead end needed a good posable toy and had that option almost down to his Cyberverse details, so I got an extra to join the crew.
Bludgeon is obvious, plus he did not show up in RiD2015, so it was easy to move him over.
Twinferno went over as himself, with the Repugnus showing up in Cyberverse and no Twinferno in RiD2015, I felt it would work to place 2 cartoon monsterbots together. Now we just need the next cartoon to make a Grotusque figure to complete the cartoon trio.

My initial guess was that you were repurposing him as "Red Five" based on his color somewhat matching the red Autobot generics and his altmode somewhat matching the Ark's shuttles.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Twinferno went over as himself, with the Repugnus showing up in Cyberverse and no Twinferno in RiD2015, I felt it would work to place 2 cartoon monsterbots together.

Never thought of that, but it's not a bad idea either!
But I'm gonna keep him as Twinferno, Repugnus' friend. He works better there than the Prime/RiD2015 shelf too.

She really isn't too bad. Glad I got this one since it is actually her proper body style, and the toy itself is pretty decent. Transformation is fun, i love the torso swiveling around under the wings, it is great. And her jet mode is pretty slim, it works! Robot mode could really use knees and a ball jointed head, but it's still not bad.
She also works pretty well with Siege seekers size wise
And soon I'll have her buddy too. Cyberverse is only missing maybe 6 toys now for my shelf? we're closing in!
The only 2 that have already come out that I need to secure are the Scout Shadow Striker and Wheeljack. Anyone got one they can send me? I am looking!

Windblade is pretty nifty. My only complaint with her is her lack of head movement. But she's a pretty design, and pretty well colored and painted. Gimmick is pretty fun too. I also appreciate the amount of articulation on her, considering she was an old warrior too. I like her, she looks great with Bee.
Jetfire is also really fun. It was a competition between the spark armor and warrior one, and the spark armor looked cooler, had more play features, and matches Sky Byte in size. I like the white and red used on him, it's very sharp. Transformation is also pretty fun. I like the robot mode a good bit. The only real complaint for me on him is the tank treads, which are hindered by the wings, and they don't really fit nicely anywhere else.
Good additions. Now I'm down to needing a Scout Wheeljack, scout Shadow Striker, Iaconus, and Thunderhowl. And hopefully the rumored ultra Skullcruncher. and I need Thunderhowl to complete Maccadam.

I really like this figure, it's a shame they never went and repainted that mold again. I think it would have looked really nice stealth colors to go with Hot Rod.
Speaking of stealth I just now realized we never got a stealth Bee in this line. After Prime and RID I just assumed he got a Warrior class stealth figure in Cyberverse.

I think they saved that for the one-steps and scout. He got some stealth colors in those 2 sizes

Some fans on Social media have been quick to cknpare this with the version released recently for Titan's Returns. At this junction we have no pictures of alt mode
What do you think of this version of the character? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

And with this reveal, and with an ebay purchase last night and a friend's help yesterday, I am down to my final 4 Cyberverse figures I need to complete my cast/lineup!
Deluxe Thunderhowl
Ultra Thunderhowl

I'm really excited!!!

Isn't it something they've done before for the cyberverse line? Looking at my TR Gnaw and the Cyberverse one sat side-by-side I can definitely tell that they used the TR version but altered and embiggened it. Or is that just my imagination?

Heres what Chuckdawg1999 has to say about Ratchet:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's a new One-Step figure and you know the drill. These are simplified figures that are meant more as fiddle toys than full "Bells and whistles" Transformers. In the Cyberverse line these One-Steps have the bonus of a little action feature. In Ratchet's case two blades can spring-loaded, flip out of Ratchets arms. For most of you, you've made your decision on One-Step figures already but for the rest, give Ratchet a chance.

He's quite a neat Ultra class! The amount of articulation in his legs and arms is really good, he's Siege level of posing. Still needs a head and waist, but he's seriously quite nice to move around! I love the wolf head sword too. Tail is a bit bothersome in robot mode, it kinda gets in the way, but it's not bad, plus you can use it as a scabbard, even if it and the cape clash a little.
He's really worth it. He, Clobber, and Rack n' Ruin have proven to be great ultra class figures. I'm glad those 3 got more effort put into them!

ZeroWolf wrote:I really hope they use him again in another continuity
There are multiple characters from recent shows that I hope get absorbed into the wider TF world, and he is certainly one. He was a pretty gun guy to have in Cyberverse, and I would not mind him, Clobber, Meteorfire, Hammerbyte, and Wild Wheel showing up more.

And it's not Tarn.

She's way, WAY better than expected. Sure, there's the usual hollow parts and lack of articulations. Contrary with most other bots of her wave, she's great looking in bot mode with awesome colors that don't feel cheap. Plus that jet mode is surprisingly sleek and streamlined.
Finally the gimmick is funny. A jet with a propeller. Why not?

alt mode is shite, that we all knew. And you can't really do much with it since it's springloaded to transform.
But the springloaded transformation is really fun, I like how inserting the sword and then removing it triggers the transformation. It's great, very enjoyable.
robot mode isn't overly posable, legs are basially a wash due to the gimmick, though the arms are still fully posable. No head movement, as is the norm, but the detailing on this cyberverse figure is quite impressive. I really like how imposing the robot mode is. The shield is a little awkward since the tab is on the underside instead of side of the arm, but it still works. The armor looks pretty nice too, I'm tempted to do a little touchup work on it, it matches his armored headcrest nicely.
Overall, it's a nice piece. I enjoy it. I hope we get a good Titan sized figure of this War Titan some day

I have no idea, probably supposed to be the back since it has thrusters.
