chuckdawg1999 wrote:A surprisingly fun figure to transform with a great deco!

Messing with them more, my original opinions have not changed much, though I like Aftermath more and feel more disappointed in Jawbreaker.
Also, have a nice pic of the idealized Terran siblings, minus one.

The only thing that could have been made better is the firing weapon, it's just too small IMO.
The fact the Takara figure looks worth my dollar takes me back when fans had that same option, to choose the

But that Cosmos...
I hope his toy will be good and will look exactly like that screenshot. If yes on both accounts, it will be an instant buy.

Nerf gun? The sword gauntlet thing?

Or was that first one just the Takara release and this is the Hasbro release now?

Takara's deluxe was the Hasbro warrior retooled, much like elita. I don't think it takes a new pickup truck proper deluxe off the table, though it would be nice to get her in her van mode

chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's funny that at what is probably the end of the line for EarthSpark we get something close to traditional One-Step changers. Smash Changers work the same way as a spring-loaded One-Step changer but all the transformations are activated by pressing down firmly on the rear of the vehicle. Of the four I enjoyed Megatron and Thrash the most, but all of them would make for fun desk toys.

Oh yeah. So in the right way his legs will really look like bell-bottoms.
Nice.

Not sure if Cyberworld can beat EarthSpark.

Allegedly. By which I mean I've seen a small number of people posting in-hand photos of the figure and sounding like they purchased him from a store, so I would think so, but I haven't been to Target in a while yet to see for myself (all my Walmarts have given up on stocking any new EarthSpark toys released after 2023, so I would think Target would be the best bet to find Deluxe Soundwave).Nemesis Destron wrote:Has Soundwave hit store shelves?

Yeah, I've seen at least one post on Reddit. My store has reduced Earthspark to only Cyber-Combiners which had been on clearance a few months ago, and at some point this year got a package refresh in white.

Yup, not only is the Earthspark toyline still around but it will be breaking new ground with the brand by giving us a Glow in the Dark Megatron toy. All we have is this image here below of Cyberglow Megatron. It is a glow in the dark version of the deluxe Megatron toy, and the image comes to us from In Demand Toys.

That's the question I'm asking myself, almost as much of a question as why didn't we get a ghost Starscream instead? That would be neat and collectors would eat it up.

Yeah, THAT.
A GITD Starscream would make perfect sense as a ghost.
Oh, also, a Rocklord. A glowing Rocklord would be dope.
