    G1 Crankcase called this Prowl. He wants his gimmick back.


    Pity those Cyberverse designs will never have any interesting figures to go with them.

    I kind of like the Hot Rod vehicle, so I\'m kind of sad about this. Soundwave and Prowl look \"good\" or good for what Cyberverse is.
    Poor Hot Rod. :(

    You know, I kind of like Hot Rod's design here. He has this imposing thickness like POTP Rodimus Prime that just screams "walking tank that nobody wants to mess with".
    Unfortunately Hasbro didn't hide the ball joints near the front wheels and placed the hood a bit too high up on the car mode, but other than that, Hot Rod has a nice retro-futuristic feel to him.

    Prowl looks alright. He doesn't have the potentially fragile clear plastic on his legs like Siege Prowl, so I already feel a bit more comfortable about him.

    Soundwave needs more paint badly. I guess Hasbro is really stretching the budget for this line and giving more paint to the bigger guys.

    I like the flames on Hot Rod.  Otherwise, the best figure is Prowl out of this wave.  Soundwave looks good in robot mode, but very plain in car mode.

    Soundwave's headsculpt is AMAZING. Best official Soundwave head EVER. And he's got all the essential paint details in robot mode, so I might pick him up... (also any Soundwave that includes Laserbeak automatically gets double points from me)

    So, does anyone else find it hilarious that Soundwave is basically a cuckoo clock with his "Laserbeak Blast" attack?

    hot rod looks tough I like that. prowl looks incredible. I\'m going to buy both for the sake of adding them to my TFP/RID collection... without a doubt.

    I'd buy this Prowl and Soundwave for customising. Adding paint and joints.

    When they're on sale for about 5 bucks/euro. That's how much those figures are worth, no more.

    You could, y'know, not buy them.

    Third Party would never ever ever consider doing toys for an unpopular modern cartoon.

    Prowl looks OK, the others not so much. Why can\'t this line have a proper Warrior class like RID had?

    I just realized Hot Rod's Gimmick is just flames popping out of his shoulders.

    Who's buying these things, that's a legitimate question? Where does the data that justifies these come from?

    I get it, they\'re aimed at kids, but I grew up with the unicron trilogy and those toys were 10x better then this. The whole cyberverse franchise just reeks of low budget.

    If that Prowl were a little more articulated I'd probably prefer him to Siege Prowl. The proportions seem better on the Cyberverse toy, which is impressive considering the cartoonier aesthetic. Also, I secretly don't hate that Hot Rod but I don't wanna pay too much for him.
