Better asked in Toy Forum. ZOOMBIE

Cyber battalions are voyagers, Cyber leaders are leader figures.
diablogunner
I don\'t know if anyone has already asked, but how do these scale next to the other lines? Comparing to Titans Return or POTP series?
T-Hybrid
Look at how many people complained about Sky Reign and yet Sky Lynx sold out of preorders even with a 40% markup.
The loudest whiners are also often the biggest spenders.
Nevermore
It seems like they really sold out in the markets they were available, as well as at the online retailers that carried them.
Funny for figures so many people complained about.
Goldbolt
Apologies for bumping an old thread but I've been looking for these figures and not finding them anywhere. Does anyone know of a retailer with any of them in stock?
I've tried searching ebay but nothing comes up. I find it hard to believe that there isn't a single one of them for sale someplace, maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing? "Transfromers Cyber Battalion" brings up cyber keys and the fansprojects insecticon repaints primarily.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
payres
Robotkingdom had them. Last I looked all bar the BBs were gone.
Gdo Transformers
EMP Starscream
Bbts had them. Looks like they ordered some (very little) from robot king dom and added markup. (24.99 and 34.98 respectively) Now the page doesn't exist. So I'm honestly not planning on seeing any stateside.
Wouldn't mind seeing that Starscream somewhere though.

Where are these guys popping up? Ben just put up a review for Cyber Battalion Starscream. His listed retail price was $14.99, if I can pick up that voyager sized Starscream for that price I absolutely will, I have some technic parts I think I can finagle onto his knee.

Nailed it.

I'll give knees to Starscream and pick up Megatron too. I guess they're just shooting for big, in-expensive, transforming toys for kids. It's like a toyline that wants to bring the Rescue Bots crowd over to the RID crowd. I understand why adult fans are a little disappointed, but these things are clearly not focused towards us. I just wish retailers stuck closer to the recommended price. I thought originally the 7 in. figures were going to be $15 and the 11 in. were to be $20.
Side note, I really hope a 3P company makes Articulated Rescue Bots toys, I'd love an articulated Heatwave or High Tide (and willing to spend the $200+ to get him with his boat/super mode)

I nearly choked on the sarcasm here.

How many people even use knee articulation?
You bend the leg a few times when you open a toy out of its packaging to try it out then it goes standing vertically on your toy shelf for the rest of its life.
Anyway, Botcon should remold Starscream to have knees since people care so much and repaint it into Thundercracker.
Thunderjet
That Megatron just looks bad ass.
trence5
WOW –
Philister
Have to wonder, though, whether these were simplified at the last minute or something, because Starscream certainly looks like he SHOULD have knees.
Megatron might be on my list, but not the rest.
jamarmiller
I am all for more simplified transformations, but dont sacrifice the articulation too !
Robogeek28
So close yet so far.
Bicep swivels would've made Megatron a must have for me.
