reviews for Warrior Starscream, Optimus and Bee for those interested:

No worries homebre' I was just spattin at the gills. I think I was just woke up.
But does anyone know or have pics from the back/side that shows Ultimate Cyberverse Megatron has Ultimate Cyberverse Optimus Primes level of articulation?
Jazz of Staniz
Oh sorry, I probably should have said specifically which one lol.

I got a little confused on this notification because it's labeled 2018 Cyberverse toys found and you were talking about Megatron. But my old brain (40) just didn't fire up a couple sparkplugs and once I remembered (Tbh I had to read what I wrote to you ), it was Studio Series Megatron. Right? I got mine in the box right here in front of me. I just need Thundercracker, Jazz, Lockdown to complete wave 1-2.
But you got me excited because earlier I was trying to figure out if Ultimate Class Megatron from the Cyberverse line has knees or elbows. And why Hasbro would give Optimus Prime those joints but not Megatron, if that is not the case.
Jazz of Staniz
Actually I got my Megs a little early today and he’s great! Now for Jazz.

TLK One-Steps have been even worse here. Until recently Tesco were selling them for £13 and Sainsbury's for £14.
Thank goodness for Asda sales and B&M.

My Megatron and Brawl arrived today. Although I have to ship them to my friends house because I live in the heart of the drugs, addicts, and there are no mailboxes or maIl delivery in my town just p.o. boxes, and it's the sidewalk in a semi ghetto area right outside my.door & HasbroToyShop doesn't ship to P.O. boxes. Anyways I just need Jazz and Lockdown now to complete the line (so far) I'm stoked!
About the Cyberverse line I bet they will hit USA any day now!
Jazz of Staniz
Same, man. I ordered Megatron and he is coming tomorrow, but Jazz was too expensive so I need to find him in the wild.
dCon
It needs to stop! They at LEAST need to clean up all the hollow parts that shit is bullshit until we protest they wont do anything about it!
I want the Leaders Optimus Prime, Megatron, Grimlock, and Warriors Starscream, Shockwave, Bumblebee. And Prime probably I like how it looks like his arms extend.
Dude its the worst! They are basically selling the same Soundwave, Bumblebee, & probably Drift and everyone else.
No "warriors" are a hair smaller with lower level engineering compared to "deluxes".
I'm pretty sure after War for Cybertron line, they will give us Generations versions of these designs from the show. They already have a box designed for the Generations Classics version of the evergreen design. Which is what this is I'm pretry sure These toys look kidified versions of those designs.
Hasbro.com. I got them all for 20% free shipping and just looking for Thundercracker, & Lockdown I got the rest. All from HasbroToyShop

Those are deluxes in the picture. And POTP toys are not even close to as "intricate" as Animated toys. It was before the "hollowing" days. And again more parts count. And the price point has gone up from $7 retail for deluxes to $17 retail for deluxes in 10 years. The parts count has gone down and so has parts of the newer figures plastic quality. Some figures the entire thing. It's not about aesthetic bro that has nothing to do with this.
dCon
They need to be taken pics of ppl that know how to make them appealing. Many decades in this hobby I learned long ago you can trust much of the images online until it's been released & u can see what your getting.
Also Animated was in 2008. Before the parts count number amount change. Back then they could have 100 parts count in a retail toy. I believe ROTF Leader Optimus Prime is something like 128 parts or so IIRC, and he was $35 retail. Now we're not even 45 parts count for $50 dollars! Even the damn Masterpieces are cutting down a few parts. It's because the steel molds cost more then triple what costed pre-2010.
Exactly!

Hmm.. That\'s interesting but I\'m still waiting for Studio series wave 2 coming out.
OptimusPrimeval
More complex than rescue bots, and simpler than RID… I would happily give one of these to a five-year old, and i guess there's room for that on the market. Hope Hasbro hurries up with WFC though.

Wow hasbro needs to do a better job on there toys. They look like the cost a $1.
SHOCKWAVES LAB
Hasbro is going on the cheap! There really isn't an excuse not to make appealing looking figures. Technology has caught up with expenses so why can't they better toys. Sooner or later people are going to say I can't spend $16.00 for this.
Fort Max
Has anyone got that Shockwave yet?
He's the only one that looks interesting.
RotorstormNZ
Everything I've read seems to say that yes, it does.
First photo I saw of TF:C Shockwave in-package I thought he looked very cool. I quite like the card art and design.

BB Shockwave
Wow, 11 GBP for a one-step changer? Prices got really high in the UK I guess…

If you don’t have a DVR, maybe program a VHS recorder ^.^
Or, whatever channel it’s on could put it on their app at least within a couple hours of airing…
Just kidding, this isn’t Game of Thrones or Westworld, wherein we can reliably expect our corporate overloads to give us our dose at air time and our leisure, alas.
Oh, and if you want nice versions of these characters, there’s these companies called Iron Factory, DX9, New Age, Magic Square Toys, and more doing fabulous work.
For example, I’m more than ready for Iron Factory’s Shrike’s Feather, aka Slipstream!
