    Added three more tonight: Barricade, Crankcase, and Topspin.

    Looked for Blackout, and he was sold out! Doh!

    I only have 4. All commaders. So far I love this sub-class of Cyberverse.

    Optimus Prime
    Sentinel Prime
    Black Out
    Powerglide

    It took me a while to warm up to Prime, but after awhile I fond that it's a fun toy to play with.

    Sentinel prime is a really good toy for it's class. I love how the shield is incorporated with the alt mode.

    I still haven't opened Powerglide or Blackout so I can't give you my impressions on them yet.

    I'm liking the idea of these little guys. Nicely articulated and decent transformations given their small size. I'm just a little baffled that Starscream didn't get a commander class but got stuck with a legion class, which I hear is much smaller and less intricate articulation- and transformation-wise. Hasbrotoyshop.com still has Powerglide and Blackout (and at a decent price instead of the high mark up at most other toy collector sites) for those trying to hunt them down. I liked Powerglide so much I ordered two from there. Hope they arrive soon!

    Starscream isn't too bad actually. He looks a bit strange with the inverted wings in robot mode, but overall not a bad figure. He looks pretty cool on his Space Carrier.

    So far, I've picked up Blackout, Megatron, Sentinal Prime, Crankcase, and Barricade.

    Blackout is completely awesome, his articulation is wonderful. I never believed it was possible that they would be able to make a Transformer that small with so many joints and pivots. I have to say that this Blackout is the newest Tiny God.

    I almost got cyberverse sentinel prime, but I opted for some Generations instead, though next time I have $10 I might pick him up.

    It's like they acknowledged all of the Leader Blackout whine and said "Ok guys, we have to make up to them for voyager Blackout. Pull the pro design team from the Ultimate Prime project and assign them to make the greatest Blackout toy ever made!

    also make it really tiny."

    Enjoying my first, and so far only, cyberverse commander, Blackout. He's really pretty cool for such a little guy. Way more articulated than I'd have thought for what is basically a slightly larger legends class figure. Same goes for the detailing, paint, and overall complexity of it.

    I mean the transformation isn't really much to write home about compared to certain figures...of a larger class size, but for something this small? It's insane and I love it.

    Mini scorponok is awesome too, the thing is adorable and I LOVE that he becomes a targetmaster weapon, that is just epic.

    I have a question though, the Megatron figure, the one that comes with the full tanker trailer, Peaugh reviewed it I think (along with the Prime version), exactly what are those from? I mean obviously they are cyberverse..are they like the second wave of the action set ones, like the wave after BB with whatever and SS with the carrier thing or are they a different thing completely? If I buy any other one of these I'd like it to be that Megatron (for the truck mode really).

    Picked up Commander Class Preview Optimus, Blackout, Ironhide, and Legion Class Ratchet. Personally I always stayed away from buying Legends with exceptions to ROTF Ravage and a Cybertron Prime X-mas present, but these new Cyberverse stuff is great. Me and my wallet hope TFPrime has Cyberverse, would be a great cheap alternative to the Standard Classes, plus Cyberverse is so easy to army build with.

    Do we know what the next waves of commanders will be? I don't care about the smaller ones, but the commanders are absolutely awesome.

    Yes, we know Hatchet is number 7 on the back of his card. Optimus is the only other one seen in official photography with him who has not been released, so it stands to reason they are the third wave.

    I'm hoping to see cyberverse figures we don't end up seeing in the other lines; maybe some stuff from the last couple movies too. A combining Devastator of this scale would be amazing.

    Just picked up a second Legion Crankcase at Walmart. First drone/generic soldier figure I ever felt was good enough to buy twice.

    I finally got Commander Blackout and I'm in love. I really do like the Cyberverse line more so than the mainline thus far. HA basics are pretty awesome, though I don't really want them as much as I used to before DOTM hit.

    I second the notion of a cyberverse commander shockwave, he is the only reason I'm going to see the movie.

    I'm really hoping for The Fallen as a Commander and Jazz as a Legion.
