Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Wave 5 Revealed

Proper deluxe Soundwave and Starscream are VERY interesting. Let's hope both have a clean vehicle mode and an interesting transformation like all the rest.

Nice! I'm not sure about prowl, but soundwave and starscream definitely tipping toward "yes" to me. Neat that they added laserbeak on soundwave too.

Cyberverse, the little line full of surprises.

I just played with Deluxe Arcee and here's my mini review.

The bot mode is fantastic, despite having her ENTIRE vehicle as her backpack. Seriously, that's no longer a shellformer. She's a G1 Pretender but with her vehicle shell attached to her back. I should hate it. But somehow, they managed to make her backpack look like... and actual backpack instead of a cancerous growth.

I struggled with the transformation because I didn't wanted to used the instructions. Everything came together once I realised that the "tabs" on her arms are meant to go OUTSIDE.

Only glaring flaw and it must only be my copy. It was impossible to plug the gun under her vehicle, the hexagonal port being too small. I had to drill it a bit. It's not appearant at all and the gun now fit.

As for the Macadam parts, in the parts bin they go, except the hammer. It suit Arcee well.

Overall, very impressive figure, well worth the full price.

I'm really hoping Soundwave has his show head, unlike the other figures have had. He will be the one of these 3 I buy

I agree, I want a proper Shadow Striker Darn it!

Her Warrior was actually a pretty decent toy, she is not as in need as bots who got no toys or bricks, like Perceptor and Shadow Striker

So they choose to use cybertronian alt mode for deluxe starscream, interesting.

It's the jet mode he's had in the show since Season 1, only not as clean-looking:

Speaking of 1 steps, that big RID 1step set that appeared out of nowhere at Toys R Us was on sale at 50% off around Black Friday. I was hunting at TrU when I saw a couple of grandparents struggling to chose a TF for the little one. I asked "how old is he?". They answered 4, 5 years old. They were pretty happy when I pointed to this set. And the little child is sure to have a blast receiving a whole army of PLAYABLE t
Transformers in one go.
