    So, I found out my Cyclonus has a misfired pin:

    Looks like it warped the plastic on one side. Sucks, but it still functions, for now. I will probably pick up a second copy so long as nobody else has this issue.

    I get what you mean. I wasn’t keen, until I saw Optimus Primal. Now I have Primal and Cheetor and I have Airazor and Rattrap on preorder! In hand, I’m very pleased with Primal in particular. It’s not perfect, but it has such character. And pop out weapons are cool. Cheetor is good too, though a bit more limited due to shoulder panels in robot mode, but I love big cats. Looking forward to Tigatron.

    I’m still a bit on the fence for Megatron. I love the T-Rex mode, and aspects of the robot mode, (loving the head/face and mechanical parts in that beautiful pink-purple colour) but something about a grinning T-Rex for a hand, and dinosaur feet boots freaks me out a bit, although I like the sense of humour. I even ordered him once, then cancelled because I’m unsure. If he was £15 cheaper I’d snap him up, but nearly £50 is a lot for something I’m not certain about.

    I would love to face him off against my MP Grimlock in dinosaur modes though. (I think Grimlock would win on a straight up brawl, although in robot mode Megatron would have a chance with that T-Rex cannon.)
    From what I’ve seen of the show so far (I’m a few episodes into season 1 now) while he is pretty clever - possibly even more so than G1 cartoon. depiction of Megatron, he gets his tail handed to him a few times. Dinobot pretty much beat him one on one and Rhinox punched him through the air a couple of times.


    Ha! Persuaded! Almost.

    Top hats make everything more spiffy.

    You guys have really amped up the Paleotrex combiners! Serious Quake 2/4 vibes from some of them!

    Kingdom Warpath is alright, but he doesn't surpass his Generations counterpart to me. I do think we could get some interesting repaints further down the line though.

    What I said should be blue, what you say is so true haha. I never cared much about voice acting. It Always seemed alright no matter what I watched. This Netflix series changed. So bl**dy awful. Optimus sounds like he's loosing his voice trying to shout with a heroic tone and Megatron's speeches are.. exactly..... How you... Put it

    Netflix war for Cybertron series voice acting in a nutshell:

    Yeah, haven't stopped messing around with Cyclonus since I got him. Such an awesome shelf presence.
    I absolutely appreciate the double-jointed neck:

    So stoic!

    Nicely sized against Magnus:

    Definitely picking up the Kingdom version of Magnus. I really like the siege one, but the added panels and detailing stands out a bit against the elegant smoothness of the Kingdom/SS stuff.

    You make a lot of fair points...
    They are pretty figures.
    And it would almost be a crime to not at least have Primal.... hmmmm

    Megatron’s legs are still too sexy though. Lol
    Gotta love his character in the cartoon. Like you said, he seems more deviously clever than Gun Megs ever did, and that David Kaye voice: Yeeessssss.
    (I always used that voice for Overlord when reading the IDWStuff)

    I'll probably get Kingdom Magnus for his Ultra Magnus mode, as I prefer Siege's White Optimus mode over his Magnus mode.

    Agreed all round. This guy is my highlight of Wave 1 and I'm pretty sure he will be on my Best Of list come year's end.
