New Video Review of Transformers Kingdom Voyager Class Inferno

o.supreme wrote:There seems to have been an initial early first release (did nobody get Leader Megatron from Amazon?). I've seen all of Kingdom between late december and mid january in stores, and online. However more recently after that first push all sold out, nothing has come in to replace any of it, at least in stores, the shelves are all bare.

Back in December, Core-class Rattrap and Prime were shipped out by Amazon. Then Gamestop dropped Megatron and Cyclonus. I picked up the rest in-person at a Target.

I've seen optimus once and I regret passing up on paleotrex. I have yet to see primal, Megatron, blackarachnia, or cheetor

Good, he addressed the broken pegs on Grapple and confirmed that they did fix them on Inferno. The pegs are now shorter, almost half the size, and no longer hollow and better mounted. Not sure why the people who got him earlier said the pegs hadn't been fixed, I didn't think that sounded right looking at their pictures.

I wouldn't say "fixed" per se, because it's a whole new piece, not a changed one. They may have noticed the breaking issue with Grapple and quickly changed the design of the pegs on Inferno while they were able to (before cutting the molds?). Inferno being released significantly later may have helped the timing.
Whatever you wanna call it, good to see Inferno doesn't seem to have that problem. Now we wait to see if the problem pops up again with Hauler

it would have been cool to see what both Inferno and Grapple would have looked like in Cybertronian form... . Yeah Inferno is cool but I still like the Henkei version...'nuff said!

That is so cool to know Sol Magnus I just needed to say! That would be epic if he continues the legacy as he grows!

Thanks. I was going to wait for Inferno for him, but Grapple was on sale for 17 bucks at Walmart so I got it. He knows all the issues on his own due to poring over Youtube videos. I've never even attempted to transform mine lol.

It gets more enjoyable the older they get. My son is almost 15, but I occasionally brag about him (and my daughter who just turned 16). Although he is developing his own interests now, he still enjoys our mutual TF Generations collection.

I'll keep you guys updated, and maybe you guys can try it out, too.

Playing Russian roulette with your wallet. Fun.

Also worth seeing who else would get Megatron, too.

So, I decided to try this Cyclonus out after hearing how good he was everywhere and also because he is a favorite character of mine thanks to IDW.

and having got him, he is not that good. I don't like him.

To start with, the head sculpt is ugly. The only nice thing about it is the light piping, but even that's the wrong color.

The purple is awful, I was hoping maybe it was pictures like Sunstreaker, but wow the purple sucks, and there are 2 different shades used around that don't work together. And it isn't even remotely right, it should be a dark purple. The fact that the CW Cyclonus has the best purple still is kinda funny and sad.

And also, his legs pretty much suck? The shape, the detailing, and the knees all kind of annoy me, plus more strange purple mismatching on the kneepads.

So yeah, I just don't like him, really at all. I'm really let down, this is supposedly the best Cyclonus ever and best figure of the line so far, and he's just not even remotely any of that to me.

I knew going in he wasn't IDW Cyclonus, but I was expecting more from "this is the dry run for the Masterpiece in $30 form" quality.

I don't have any connection to Scourge and I like him far more than this
