    THAT looks epic.
    Plus the Argos desc. of Cyberverse sets is that they come with exclusive figs.

    The more Prime's Cyberverse line expands, the happier I'll be. With my decision to go almost exclusively with Cyberverse figures, I might even go completionist with it too (for Hasbro releases anyways). Bring on more vehicles, base-bots, and plenty of multi-packs.

    One of things I don't enjoy about this Cyberverse line is the bendy plastic weapons. My Arcee I purchased has a really soft gun that does not peg in well.

    It seems to be a crapshoot with how soft the weapons are. My Cliffjumper's sword is pretty soft and bendy, but Ratchet's version of the same weapon is noticeably more solid. Bumblebee's cannon is easily the worst, though, as the handle is really bendy and doesn't like to plug into some holes.

    ^ Interesting to read some of you had the same issue. You know it really doesn't bother me because the figures are excellent just by themselves. I'm amazed at how well the engineering is in such small a scale.

    The sword makes for a far better kickstand in bike mode, too.

    I found all 5 at one of the Targets I visited today.

    I have to say, the quality on these seem better than most of the DOTM cyberverse figs. Cliffjumper is my favorite so far. His transformation is very well done for his size, car mode looks great, and robot mode is even better.

    I've got the first five - they're awesome. I hit em all with some sharpie. BB i gave silver to his rear window, exhausts, rims, and rearview mirrors, and red for his tail lights. CJ i gave silver to his rims, exhausts and mirrors, and red for his big-ass tail lights. Arcee i did her rims (they were tough!) in silver. Ratchet i put some red in his pelvis, and his central head crest.

    I love having the opportunity to spruce 'em up with some sharpie action. Aside from that they are a fun bunch of toys, and if i get a few minutes away from my brand new daughter, i am going to do a micro-review of them.

    So far I've just done some silver on Bee's rear window and not-Chevy emblem at the rear. Looks a lot better already, but I need to get a red Sharpie so I can do his tail lights.

    I'm getting at least 2 of the all, so I can have an unchanged, and customs of each, and as many Vehicons I can find. I'll porbably make an Autobot base, aswell.

    I think the Cyberverse legion line 'might' be a single line with Movie and Prime toys in it rather than 2 separate lines one for Trilogy and one for Prime Legions.

    Otherwise why would Argos have images of Dino & Evac on their catalogue page ?

    If this is true and it is a Pan generation thing that would also explain why the cards are partly coloured green and not partly red/orange like the RID boxes and cards are.

    I'm not that bothered if that is the case in fact I think it would be very interesting to have each wave be a unique era or theme. so Wave 3 could be g1 inspired for example and future waves could be Japanese themed or beast Era. Or even a whole wave of Cyberverse FOC toys... Tiny Bruticus with a commander torso and 4 legion limbs for example ? or a commander Grimlock.

    Then they could return to Prime again later when more Characters are on the show to draw on like Dreadwing, Airachnid, Soundwave and Skyquake.

    I wonder if the alt open face plate head Commander Optimus was a glitch or is a deliberate chase. It seems like they should have saved it for a refresh or repaint really.

    I do not know how common the 2nd head is though. I got my Bulkhead, Bumblebee and Optimus from Argos but the Optimus I got had the closed faceplate head.

    Hopefully I'll be able to scare up a Starscream and a Megatron before to long.

    [NOTE]

    I wonder if the legion weapons can plug together in the exact same way the weapon Microns can - to make identical combination shapes ?

    Oh and I am wondering why Optimus has a bunch of holes in him that do nothing on this release - it looks like he might be getting a wing pack or a trailer accessory that combines with him at some point and that's what the extra holes are for.
