    Huh? While I do agree with you on the lack of elbows for Vehicon, but no knees?

    Then I must be imagining things while they are running away from Breakdown...

    FYI- Legion BB does not have knees.

    Yup, and that's why I'll never bother getting him, ah well.

    I absolutely love this picture (or, rather, the other version you took which includes Soundwave). I don't like getting multiples of the same figure, but after I saw this I might have too. I just love how Breakdown (and Soundwave from the other pic) are surveying the troops.

    But yeah, it sucks about Breakdown's size. I wish they would have made him a commander and Ironhide a legion. But I guess they didn't want two Decepticon commanders in one wave.

    The only consolation here is that his vehicle mode is higher than those Vehicons...

    I just wanted to say, around 4 years ago I wouldn't even consider buying the Legends figures. They were poorly detailed, hardly articulated, and were sometimes just downright ugly. But Hasbro has improved their small toys so much that I haven't even bought a single "mainline" figure, just Cyberverse! The detail really is amazing, for instance, even though Ratchet is lacking in paint his face is fully sculpted.

    Quality control seems to be top notch, so far none of my figures' joints have been loose and there have been no imperfections in the paint or molding. The weapons are nicely designed and because some of them come with another character's weapon (Arcee has Bee's gun, CJ has Ratchet's blade) it adds a bit of a 'collect them all' feel.

    I finally got all the Autobots sans Optimus, and once I get him I'll work on getting the Decepticons. I'd originally planned to get all the First Editions but these are much more cost effective and almost just as good! They're even approximately in the right scale! Even though it replaced the old scouts I'm glad they added the commander size class, it really brings a better sense of scale to the toys. I think I'll get a few deluxes later on but I can't wait to get more Cyberverses. I hope they make something like an Autobot Base or a transforming Nemesis similar to the Ark from the Dark of the Moon line.

    I audibly giggled when I saw how tiny Breakdown was.
    I kid you not.

    Anyways, I've been seriously tempted to pick up the cast in Cyberverse scale. Problem is, I already have 8 of the main characters in the mainline scale, and the scale between the Cyberverse Autobots looks nice but the Decepticons... well, it's laughable. Especially with teeny-tiny Breakdown and (by the looks of the few pics we've gotten) the very tall Knock Out.

    Finally got the last Cyberverse I needed -- Cliffjumper.

    He is far and away the best of all the Legion figures, due to the fact he doesn't suffer from the door arm syndrome that all the other ones do. Why can't all Legion figures have an elbow joint and unique hands?

    I still love the rest of the Cyberverse figures but man, imagine if they were all like Cliffjumper. It's crazy how the addition of that one joint gives him so much more poseability.

    I know what you mean. Ratchet's great but with some elbow joints he'd be damn near perfect in my book.

    Shows how much I've played with him. I transformed him once into car mode and said, "Eh." I'm glad to be wrong about the knees, though.

    Tiny though he may be, Breakdown looks awesome. Reminds me of TF07 Legends Bonecrusher, which was one of my most surprisingly awesome figures.

    Not really, unfortunately. The pieces that are used to connect them together make them a little tricky for TFP Optimus to hold.

    I admit to having overlooked this line in the past.

    But today the Prime and Megs caught my eye and I am hooked!

    These look amazing! I can't get over how the quality has jumped from the movie cyberverse to this line.

    If you like Megatron and Optimus, you better be sitting down when you check out Bulkhead. Because you might lose consciousness for how great he is.

    Did you find them in stores or did you get them online?
