    I think the US didn't get Prime, Megatron, and Starscream. We got Bee, Prowl, and Jetfire. You can find them at Walgreens

    Oh man Shockwave looks mighty fine. Although I'm gathering his knees only swivel for transformation. Alt mode is okay I guess.

    Swipe man what happened to you. Now that's seriously disappointing to see, am I missing something because seriously what is he supposed to be based on. Right now it just looks like they wanted a G1 version of RID Swipes.

    I already have every Cyber Battalion figure from series 1 & both figures from series 2, so I'm definitely getting both of these! I even have the 11"(much larger) Cyber Commander Optimus Prime. :-D I'm missing the 11" Cyber Commander Bumblebee (& don't want it) though.

    Tbh I always see upgrade kits and I was hoping for upgrade kits on this line as most need knees for sure! Only Megatron, Grimlock, Prowl have knees (& now Sideswipe) so maybe this Shockwave will break the ice for co. to make kits for these.

    Shockwave looks BOSS!

    Shockwave looks great! I just might have to pick him up when I see him.

    Shockwave definitely looks like he shares engineering with TR Sixshot.

    Well, if someone wants a voyager Overdrive, you have it now.

    I'll be SEVERELY tempted to incorporate that Shockwave into my CHUG collection.

    That Sideswipe is clearly just Windcharger with a different head. I swear someone at Hasbro has a major hard on for that character. It's like they tried to slip another one in and they finally got called out on it so they pouted, "Fine. I'll put a Sideswipe head on him. But when I get my copy, I'm putting the Windcharger head back on".

    I knew I liked the look of that Shockwave. I'd totally buy a Sixshot remold of this.

    DEFINITELY getting that Shockwave. I got prowl on a lark a few months ago and was really pleasantly surprised.

    That's a pretty nice looking Shockwave. Whether or not it has knees (and if I can find it) will determine if I get it. Being 7" will slide it into the Voyager slot nicely.

    We definitely had Optimus Prime released here in the US, I saw him at multiple Walgreen’s in Seattle back around Thanksgiving/Christmas. I thought we also got Megatron, too, but am not sure about Starscream.

    Walgreen’s was selling them at the same price as deluxes there (about $17).

    How about a Shockwave that has a voice chip in sync with his flashing one eye ?
