Cyber Commander Optimus and Bumblebee on Entertainment Earth for $19.99 USD

I don't like these two. Optimus and Bumblebee.

Anyway I love the Cyber Batallion Jetfire! He's perfect for me. Simple transformation, a real cockpit-chest and he has good articulation. The right size for me.
He defeats the Generation Leader sized Jetfire with the fake chest. The Leader size only does the items better.

Shockwave is on his way to me and the new Cyberverse Spidertank will be his scientist-soldier unit.
Just as Cyberverse Ultimate Megatron has his little Authentics Megatron (love that toy!!!) as his soldier.

I've read about Starscream in this thread, he's not on ebay! I'd really want a Batallion Starscream, I missed out on him because of the colors but he's just like Jetfire.

Anyway, I hope they continue this trend on the side (and I think it doesn't get in the way of Generations, they already declared a War for Cybertron Trilogy so take it easy guys)

My Cyber Batallion Wallgreens wishlist is:
- Thundercracker (Starscream repaint)
- Skywarp (Starscream repaint)
- Downscale Prowl to deluxe
- Deluxe Prowl repaint to Smokescreen
- Deluxe Prowl repaint to Bluestreak
- Deluxe Bumblebee (upscaling the most recent Legends Bumblebee)
- Megatron (Voyager downscaled Cyberverse Ultimate Megatron without the gimmick)
- Optimus Prime (Voyager downscaled Cyberverse Ultimate Optimus without the gimick)

Well, that's it.
Hope they continue and then there would be one I like for every 3 or 4 they make.

These are possibly the two I want the least. Prime I would consider if he were the G1 colored version, I'm not crazy over the movie colored version.

We have some news from the Transformers Generations Cyber Series line, thanks to fellow Seibertronian reluctantyouth who emailed the news staff! You'll remember that the 11 inch Commander figures of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were not readily available in the US (back in 2015), as only Walgreens stores and the Universal Studio souvenir store were carrying them.

Well, it appears that online retailer Amazon.com has added both of those simplified figures for $19.99, and you can purchase them right now, by clicking on the images below!

The light gray section around the dark gray abs just does not work for me. That piece of plastic really needs to be red to go with the rest of his upper torso.

That being said, I really do love this mold. So if you weren't able to pick up the original release, this is definitely worth getting.

Weird design choice indeed. That part could have just be cast in plain red plastics instead of that questionable light gray. Regardless, that's an Optimus I would love to have. But not at the price of a LEADER figure. Yup. This is the total price this here Canadian will have to pay even at the lowest from Amazon.

Its 40$ total CAD to get this to canada, so not quite leader price point.

Nope, nope, nope! Burn them with fire! Jetfire is passable, but I still find them a bit meh.

Copied from the other thread:

There may be some flash (excess plastic) inside the joint that either makes it seize up, or blocks movement at a certain point. The joint is a simple plastic hinge (no metal rods to push out), but I'm not sure how safe it would be to pop it off, without stressing the plastic.

Unless my eyes are deceiving me I'd swear the shoulder pad was not aligned correctly during assembly. To me it looks like one shoulder is closer to the torso than the other.

(If this description is not clear, let me know and I'll snap a couple of pics.)

Your description is clear. The flat side does face front in robvot mode, it's just a trick of light from the flash making the back part look hollow.

I take it yours fits properly?

...I'm not equipped to remove pins, so I guess I'll have to return him. Which sucks, because I don't think I'll get another shot at him without paying scalper prices.
