Legacy United Deluxe Cyberverse Windblade Behind The Scenes

Holy shit why doesn't she look like how she did in the concept art? like damn what a fucking downgrade, sometimes i wonder if her design is the reason why she hasn't gotten a good toy.

Figure looks great but it\'s definitely not Cyberverse Windblade, kinda feels like they slapped that on there because they had to have a show title on the box. Like I said it looks really good but I don\'t think I\'ll pick it up, I\'m more than happy with rid15 Windblade (underrated figure btw).

I am genuinely confused about the \"Cyberverse wasn\'t popular\" comments, I thought it was a generally well accepted show. I mean I remember a lot of people loving Windblade, Wheeljack and a lot of the Decepticons. Didn\'t Cyberverse have the usual tf fandom pattern of new show is announced, people hate new, designs are revealed, people hate designs, show is released and grows, people like show.

I’ve found myself having to explain why Cyberverse is great far too many times to assume everyone even watched it. I recognize that the first season didn’t seem promising, but holy crap did those who dropped it then miss out on some comics level brilliance and madness.

I do see Cyberverse Windblade in the legs – stompy boots! – but the alt mode definitely doesn’t look right. She was almost more of a prop plane than a jet. Any third parties interested in making a figure that will appeal to about 7 people?

ahhh so you're the guy going through all the online hentai and tagging every anime girl who has room for internal organs as "BBW"

I agree with your message, but gotta ask how much hentai you’ve been looking at to notice this trend. ;P

I picked up a bunch of extras, and did part swaps where I could to make some extra ones.

More Targetmasters are one thing I would love to see from Hasbro or Third Party companies. Battlemasters like Pteraxadon that can also be an Axe or a Bow (looking at you Flamewar), and Smashdown with his being a hammer, would also be appreciated.

I’d love a boxed set of just Gun and Melee weapon battlemaster repaints.

Some of the minicons and micromasters with weapon modes were great too, some not so great, and in general the combination weapons were flimsy at best.

Yes please! The air and emergency vehicles from Armada were brilliant. There’s something so satisfying about a tiny little triple changer.

Have bought any of the Rise of the Beasts weapon dudes? They’re fun to fiddle with. Airrazor, Primal, and Rhinox notably.

The more I look at this figure the more I think, maybe I should sock some money away over the next 2-3 months and get that Legends Windblade toy I've always wanted. I know there are a lot of criticisms of that figure, but it really captures the earnest, civil service-oriented, kind of square Windblade that I loved from the Mairghread Scott comics. Which I get is my problem and not this figure's. I've been sitting here trying to figure out why I'm not warming to this toy and I realized that it's because even though she looks a lot like my Windblade, she's just not my Windblade.

She sure is fat.

Seriously didn't need another figure of her, especially one that isn't directly accurate to anything but rather a mish-mash. But I mean she's never been a bad design, despite the over done and somewhat random Asian pandering that takes place on her head only. So it's a nice figure, just much rather would have had something else. There are so many characters desperate for an update.

it's literally been 5 or so years since her last figure that wasn't a cyberverse repack. she definitely needed an update with the new posability and engineering, even if her old figures could pose pretty well. for a character that was a pretty big name in the franchise for a good few years, she's been rather absent lately.

also wtf do you mean by "she sure is fat"?
have the unrealistic body standards of internet artwork eroded your mind's perception of normal humanoid proportions?

Agreed, there really wasn't enough of them if you ask me

Yeah, that was one of the driving factors in my picking up and choosing that Megatron for my defacto modern G1 Megatron, up until then I had been using Henkei Megatron. Kind of how I was using Music Label Soundwave up until the Netflix Soundwave came out.

I just wish there were a few more Battlemaster Guns, I mean G1 Targetmaster style, more so than the Rise of the Beasts ones.

The target master for Legends. It doesn’t hurt to ask.

If you want to be character accurate, there is the Battlemaster Pinpointer that came with WFC Netflix Megatron

Omegaclaw

I don't know why she'd need that, seen as she's almost never seen with a gun lol

So maybe a 3rd party upgrade is the only way for her to have a gun or blaster of sorts?
