    Yeah, this is a bit confusing how they have this line.

    I also see this first edition. I notice that Cliff Jumper looks different in the First edition then in newer screen shots.

    Yeah, that deluxe Megs looks really good. At that cheaper price point he's already really accurate looking and clean in both modes. Can't wait to see how a voyager would turn out.

    Only toys I don't really like that much so far are are entertainment pack/SDCC Optimus Prime and the second mold of Cliffjumper.

    Are we seeing both molds of Cliff Jumper? How is that working?

    There's a first edition mold that comes out earlier that has blasters, and a second one coming out later that looks a bit more accurate in robot mode (but with more kibble, a faux chest piece, and a hammer weapon).

    Same thing with Bumblebee. First edition mold and a newer mold that will have two arm blasters instead of one.

    Interesting what they are doing.

    Confusing, but interesting none the less. Now which ones to get.

    i think they're great, got the nycc today. my only gripes are the usual semi loose joints and on arcee it seems they over tightened a screw. looks like its bulging out, but it's only minor stuff. overall great figures, can't wait to see actual retail figures.

    i love the g1 paint on arcee and that alone had me online when they put them up on hts. im still on the fence about prime since he is so small....... i would love to see a flamewar redeco of her, with her bot mode angles and lines it would nice.

    I like the cyberverse movie line. So i'll be picking up the prime version as well. The regular line looks very promising.

    The Articulation seems pretty darn good. Looks sweet on display. Transformation seems good but I havent transformed them often.

    Honestly, I've never even watched TF Prime, and I think these toys look awesome. Especially Cliffjumper.

    But seriously,Pink does not suit this Arcee mold as much as i hope it looks good on Arcee as it will be paying homepage to G1 but i still prefer Arcee in blue for this mold

    To anyone who has these figures, how would you describe the plastic quality? Are they really cheap and light, like DotM Sideswipe for example?

    im a sucker for nostalgia but i do prefer the blue on black much more than the g1 for character use on screen. it also makes more since in regards to the aspect of robot in disguise vs robot as a bright pink and white target..... i see stealth being an issue as well.... can you see me in the shadows...wait what if i stand in front of a rainbow.

    the plastic seems pretty resilient, it is light but seems pretty tough but im only reflecting on the solid plastic not the clear. ive heard of issues where the blue plastic was cracked right out of the box creating an issue with the alt mode not being up to par. it could be as random as stress marks, sometimes an arm falls of sometimes it is perfect.

    The quality of the plastic seems on par with dotm. It's not as thick as animated quality, though.

    Now waiting more of the other characters to be issue,then will know more in terms of the quality of plastic for other figures.
