Stock Images for Cyberverse Ultimate Rodimus

I dunno, I think the "weapon" is for playing shuffleboard. In fact, he looks rather enthusiastic for the next game in the pic on the back of the box.

For me, it's the "Go Go Power Rangers" bit that's bothering me. It's a Wild Force toy, so it oughta say "Guardians of the Earth, United we Roar!"

Guys, relax, it's a toy for preschoolers; they're not gonna care about continuity like grown fans. Heck, they're far more likely to play out this exact same scenario, plus throw some LEGO and Transformers in for good measure, plus a plushie for a Kaiju.

(though I will admit, the random "Go Go Power Rangers" as if it's a franchise-wide expression and not something more recognizable from the first seasons is a bit wince-inducing)

As for the Volcanicus toy, while it is disappointing that it's not a "real" combiner, it does bring to mind two concepts which I think haven't really been fully explored in Transformers combiners yet and I'd like to see in the future: animal combiners instead of humanoid, weapon or vehicle combiners(the closest I can think from the top of my head are G1 Sky Lynx, Beast Wars Neo Magmatron and The Last Knight Dragonstorm), and combiners with their own alt-mode (which admittedly, would be a nightmare to engineer).

It also reminds me of the Anibots and their Dragon Beast combiner from the early draft of the 86 movie.

Relax, we're not being that serious (hence why ZeroWolf even used a emoticon).

Normally I don't pick this kind of figure up. But, Hot Rod is my favorite 'Bot and this version immediately reminded me of another favorite A.B.C. Warriors! Now I might jut have to pick him up.

Clearly Hot Rod is going to a curling competition

On Slug: man he looks so cool! He looks far more interesting than his SS86 counterpart. I actually cancelled my preorder for him after seeing this Slug. So far the Cyberverse Dinobots have 3/5 classic teammates in good toy form and it makes me very excited for them. And they are a unique and cool design with new weapons that I love. I feel great about getting them!

Volcanicus: god, that thing is so stupid and I absolutely love it. I will be getting it

I'm just curious, do you laugh at the 4 winds?

And Skullcruncher's shipping again? Awesome! I kept putting off getting him before, and then suddenly he was nowhere to be found in any Target.

Maybe there'll be some reason for the Divebomb homage in the last two Cyberverse specials (or not), but I'd have been happier with Energon Armor resembling Nosecone or Zetar for an Animated homage, and a more functional look. Still, just nice to have a Conehead Cyberverse Seeker in a decent size!

Thanks!

Cool, we'll give you credit.
