    Oh i check out every one of them, i read and watch all reviews and check the boxes in the shelves when i see them. i also do not consider scout class too simple. i was talking about legends generally. Also while i am sure Hatchet is a great figure, to me it lacks the screen accuracy (Suburban, not jet) and size accuracy (most of my figures are in "Leader Bosses - Deluxe cars scale and i have that wonderful deluxe Crankcase as a Dreads reference).

    Cyberverse can also be good for people who generally dislike movieverse designs.

    As a side effect of the simplifications at such a small scale, it often
    happens that the designs are affected in such a way that it pleases those
    people.

    I'm an adult, and a toy collector, and I truly enjoy Cyberverse figures.
    Hmm. Where does that leave me?:rolleyes: 

    Yes, they're simplistic. So what. For a figure to just pick up and fiddle with, nothing beats a Legends/Cyberverse toy.

    Besides, you get more of a scale feeling with them, too. I don't go for scale most of the time, but I'm also not a fan of a biker-bot being slightly larger than a sports car.

    Well, may be i misspoke, probably i don't count really as a toy collector. I have 30-something robots at most, and a few other figures. To a real collector, all toys including legions of course can be appealing.

    What i mean is:

    - This is a little cool toy. It's clearly Bumblebee, it's relatively cheap, fun to fiddle with and it's very cute.

    - This, on the other hand, with all his flaws, even can count as art piece, sitting posed on some desk or shelf, would be interesting even for a friend who don't have interest in toys or Transformers. He would be recognized as a character and would be admired for his engineering.

    So i didn't mean to offend anyone. Also i just realise that little guy would make a good keychain :)

    Personally, I think that the engineering for some of the Cyberverse figures more impressive, because they're working at a smaller-scale with cheaper figures. Some Legends figures have had almost all the features of their larger figures, and other (especially the Commanders) are genuinely better than their full-size counterparts (Blackout, for example. And while they're not exactly the same figure, I genuinely like my Cyberverse Dreads much more than Deluxe Crankcase. And I'll say it again, some goddam variety goes a long way. Bumblebee is a bad example to use (for one, because that's not even a DotM figure) but because I haven't considered buying a BB figure since the first movie. Just sayin'.

    Cyberverse can be hit-or-miss, but I'm very pleased with the hits.
