    It just showed up for me at check out. I wasn't even aware of it. Now that I think about it, maybe 1st time shopping bonus?

    Fantastic!

    Kinda bummed that Maccadam won't have ankle articulation, but whatcha gonna do I guess.

    I plan on getting all of these, but I'm still hoping to see slightly oversized KOs of Prime and Megs (and the upcoming Grimlock) sometime down the road so they can fit in my display a little better.

    And they just arrived, but since they're ice cold I'm setting them aside until tomorrow as I'm leaving for work shortly.

    They look great though.

    Megatron looks a bit odd in those pictures, but the others look fantastic

    Megatron is quite noticeably the smallest of the 4 and has the most kibble in robot mode. Also has what I call reverse Siege Springer shoulders.

    He’s not a terrible figure and better than any other Cyberverse Megatron, but the other 3 are noticeably better done. His dual wield fusion cannon option is reminiscent of the 2007 movie.

    I can put up more photos in the Cyberverse thread later.

    Personal rank:
    OP, Bee, Shockwave, then Megatron

    They're all there, including Bumblebee. Google Shopping's search feature is wonky and takes some effort to find. Got mine yesterday from them. Walmart has them up for online ordering too.

    Started putting Maccadam together and I'm bummed to see that he's going to be about a head shorter than the other bots. I would've been fine with him being the same size, but I hate when bigger bots in the fiction turn out to be smaller as a toy. I still can't get over the Generations Rhinox/Tankor size differences. The lack of ankle tilt bugs me as well, but at least he'll be articulated everywhere else it's needed.

    Right now Shockwave and Prime are my favorites of the bunch, with my only issue for Shockwave being that his hose is too stiff (giggity) and makes posing his arm difficult because it keeps pulling his elbow backwards slightly. A ball jointed neck instead of a swivel would've been nice as well, otherwise he's a great little figure.

    Prime is near perfect, with my only gripe about him being that I wish the canisters on his legs folded in, and that I wish he was a tad bigger. I had really hoped that like in Siege/Earthrise, Deluxes in this line would vary in size, but sadly that's not the case. A Siege Ironhide sized Prime, Megs, and Grimlock would've looked great with the standard bots, but I guess I'm just going to hafta get used to Bumblebee being able to look Prime and Megs in the eye.

    Bumblebee is nice as well, with one nitpick, and that's his shoulder pauldrons. I wish the backs of them would fold up somewhat to allow for a little more arm movement, because as they are they make posing interesting. You can lift his arms up if you move his door wings before doing so, but you can really only position them forward when doing that. Think MMC's Roadbuster/ Strika, it can be done, but you need to work at it.

    Megatron is a mixed bag for me. I've already mentioned that I wish he was a little bigger, but mine has a loose right shoulder joint and neck joint which knocks him down a little for me. No posing him with his gun arm for me, especially with his blast effect, until I can figure out which non defacing solution for tightening up joints I decide to go with. He does look good though, although some silver on the face would have been appreciated as it looks bland as is.

    Usually I heat and then pinch together the part where the ball joint snaps into which then gives the ball a tighter hold, but the way Megatron's shoulder is held together, there's no small area to pinch once heated. I may hafta result to the old method of miniscule pieces of paper towel in the joint for the added friction. I know a lot of folks like the method you mentioned, but I just can't bring myself to putting stuff like that on my toys. :lol

    If these weren't so pricey I'd be all over them. Lots of articulation with solid sculpts and simple yet satisfying transformations.

    Mine have not arrived. I don't know why, it's spent all day about 4 miles from my house. According to the FedEx tracking data, it arrived there at 8:20 PM Tuesday. Then at 8:20 AM Wednesday it was there and then I just got an update at 8:21 PM tonight that it's there. "IN TRANSIT". Oh boy.

    Fedex did that same thing to me last week.

    My package was an hour away from me for 3 days before getting delivered on the 4th day.
