    Never thought I'd get a sense of satisfaction from that...

    More likely than not, nothing too fancy as far as the likelihood of new Generations molds go - not yet. That said there a still a solid buch of remolds teased in Generations instructions, so to me it seems like Hasbro's move, while does some catching up and a little reinterpreting via United.

    Yeah, I suspect any Generations stuff will be remolded heads. We got too many of them that didn't see release yet.

    That reminds me, I'm seeing a touch of Huffer in that Kup remold head that was shown in the instructions.

    I think this will be more or less accurate for atleast the next couple of waves if they work from established United/Generations molds. Less: straight redecos like Ricochet (Stepper now being the only figure that United is ahead of Generations on - aside from one half of the Frenzy & Rumble team [or for that matter Wipe-Out and any other upcoming releases]). More: by this I mean doing remold/retool suites that change or add more than just a new headsculpt and we have alot of precedence for this in Generations, RTS and United in the last year. First off we had different head,s three weapons and the subtler - yet notably alt mode oriented change in spoilers, for Drift and Blurr. Similar deal with Wheeljack and Tracks; while one weapon is shared across the releases, there's new wingtips and the differences in the leg molds subtly change the transofrmation itself - not just a cosmetic alteration. Then Grapple is a tour de force in remolding from the Universe Inferno mold.

    So who knows? Maybe a mold will only be released as one character in the mainline, like Universe/Henkei Hound was. And maybe some molds that have a certain... seamless quality, like Scourge, Kup and Wreck Gar will only have remolded heads; nothing wrong with that if the approach works for the character. Though I think if HasTak applied themselves just a little extra to Warpath's Hardhead remold and concentrated the armaments on the shoulders, that'd be impressive.

    I'd thought that too, after looking at it a couple of times, admittedly some things are more feasable in memory that right in front of my eyes, haha.

    I was wondering what other Cyberverse Prime toys we were getting. I LOVE THE CYBERVERSE! I believe my only problem is the translucent weapons. But other than that...

    Prime Cyberverse is looking nice. A little more silver on the weapons would be nice, but it's nothing I cannot customise myself. They're nifty looking little toys, I'll enjoy collecting them.

    Me: Sorry son, Santa didn't come for you this year.

    Son: Why? T__T

    Me: Cause Cyberverse came out :rock 

    I'm just kidding.....my nonexistent son can have one of the 10 future Vehicons I will buy.

    As with DOTM, I do believe the majority of my Prime collection will be Cyberverse! Small scale's done well for me, and I think Hasbro's really hit a good groove with the size class.

    My thoughts from the gallery already posted:
    Arcee - wonder if her kibblewings can fold back further into a cape. Otherwise looks quite solid for a tiny bikeformer.

    Megs - If the other comments about the chest being mistransformed between the out of pack and in-pack shots, that looks very good.

    Eradicon - will need more than a couple. Don't know why but I like him way better than the DOTM Dreads.

    Bulkhead - appropriately solid. Appears his shoulders fold down a bit more too, with the hinges at the back of the cab bits.

    Cliffjumper - my only worry might be the apparent boatshoes.

    'Bee - Workable. Looks like a very similar transform to previous legends.

    Starscream - nicely spindly, looks quite good for a jet at this size. Hope his torso holds together better than DOTM Powerglide.

    Prime - the translucent chest looks snazzy. Seems to transform a lot like the DOTM commander mold, but it's hard to tell.

    Wheeljack - falling-over pose aside, looks sharp. Agreed he'd fit right in on a G1 legends shelf too.

    Wheeljack's ship - this is where I'm iffy, like I was with the DOTM Ark. What's with all the little flip-up red bits?

    Package shots - looks pretty sharp. Hope nothing gets too shortpacked, and are the CV guys coming out with the first wave of stuff?

    ...hi Guzzle, why can't I find you at retail?

    I'm really pleased with the way the majority of these look. Only Cyberverse figures I liked from DOTM were Hatchet and Powerglide but I can see myself starting a nice little collection of these ones.

    To all those saying they do not watch Prime. DO yourself one small favor and watch the 3 part finale. Part 3 had to be the best episode of TFs ever!!!

    Cyberverse? They look good to the point that I first thought I was looking at Voyager Megs. Call me crazy but I like the whole Dark Energon gimmick, I hope to see it in the Voyager version.

    I do not collect the Legends line but if this is what they have done for Legends I can only imagine what is in store for the main line. Im going to go broke with Prime but better to pay 80 for a Leader than for a scout/deluxe.

    Gotta say I'm impressed. Some look just as good as their deluxe counterparts, particularly optimus.

    They all look really great, Wheeljack especially, or I'm just biased. Not a huge fan of the clear plastic, except on Starscream, Optimus and still on the fence about Megatron's clear chest, though I know what they were going for. Bulkhead looks pretty mediocre, but the engineering looks great.
