    Why in the name of alpha trion, does Wheeljack have pink windows :wtf: 

    Prowl has next to no paint on him :stick: 

    Hot Rod is a hot mess:thumbdown 

    Slipstream and Ratchet look ok.

    Hopefully we'll see Prowl and Ratchet in the Siege line.

    Prowl, Soundwave, and Ultra Class Optimus Prime look good. Ultimate Class Bumblebee frustrates me because he's exactly what the Warrior should have been, only it's in a scale that makes it too big to be of any use.

    The rest just aren't for me. I like to be positive, but for the most part, this line doesn't appeal to me.

    I\'ve caved in and intend to buy both Shockwaves for myself, the Shockwave fanboy that I am.  Thought I might pick up one of the Windblades or Slipstreams for my niece for Christmas, but I don\'t think she\'d like any of these.  Guess I\'ll see about Siege Chromia or PotP Novastar.

    I think this is the most pain I've felt as a Transformers fan...
    I want to support the brand and buy something from this line, but I've never felt this utterly
    repulsed by a toy before, in any brand. I want to complement something, anything, but... ugh. :( :thumbdown 

    I feel like it shows how much the Hasbro brand team is out of touch with fans that they announced these at NYCC,
    do they actually think that any adults will be even remotely interested in these?? RID, Prime, Animated... all of those
    were great toys and appealed to adults and kids alike, but this is just hurtful...offensive.

    I wait for a Warrior Slipstream :tumbleweed: 

    But on the other hand I will definitely pick up Warrior Prowl, maybe Soundwave I don't he and Hot Rod don't impress me that much.

    Sigh. Yes, yes, I know these are for kids. But I can't help but notice that a figure's aesthetic has been heavily compromised to make way for a gimmick. There are some great character designs completely ruined. That 1-Step Bumblebee is an ugly mess.

    Would love to see a gimmickless mainline like what we got for RID.

    For some reason that's one of the very few things I don't hate about this mold

    Oh I didn't even notice that. I thought the black part around the elbow area WAS the elbow joint. Well Hot Rod just went from a 'wait for in hand photos' to a 'HARD and EASY pass'. Again, it makes me sad that they're leaving out something as necessarily basic as elbows and knees for figures of this size class. I mean they should basically just be MANDATORY, IMO.

    A new low for faux parts: faux elbows.

    Slipstream and Soundwave look good, most of these look boring compared to similar figures, and Hot Rod looks terrible, even for this line. I really hope there are some Cyberverse toys in the future that drop the action gimmicks and instead focus on fun transformations and cartoon accurate bot modes because I'd like to have Cyberverse toys that I would actually enjoy.

    When the designers were told to 'evoke G1', I'm pretty sure they weren't supposed to evoke Ratchet & Ironhide G1. :D

    Prowl is even more neat than I thought. Like his spring loaded shoulder cannons. And soundwave with a Laserbeak launching gimmick is a neat idea.

    I actually like the scout class robots for most of this line .... it\'s just such a pity they don\'t fully transform as that Rachet and Shadowstriker look great in bot mode . 

    Prowl looks ok from ankle height up , but his feet are all jagged and wierd so he is a no .

    I do want that Soundwave and Hotrod . Mainly because i want every version of them .... hotrods dangly ass window is a bit off putting though and i dont like his arse antler tattoo flames .

    At some point i need a Slipstream , this one would do nicely .

    That warrior prowl looks amazing. I don\'t know of I\'ll get it but it would definitely be a welcome addition.

    It pains me to see how terrible the toys of this show are. It's a great show, but same as with RID the toys are dumbed down one-step changers and TF4 style "power attackers", lacking articulation and having needless gimmicks. RID at least had the well-articulated and gimmickless Warriors class, but Cyberverse Warriors are a far cry from those. I have seen some in person, and only Shockwave (whom I bought) looks decent.
    I am glad that at least the Ultra class Slipstream finally has her own mold, as I love the female seeker shape and facesculpt in the show. She transforms quite differently than on the show though, with a fake cockpit... and why does she have a propeller gimmick? Why would a jet need a propeller? I do hope she has knee articulation at least - it does seem she has proper shoulders and elbows, and the hips are ratchet joints too... one can hope. Problem is, she will be too large - Ultra is Leader sized, right?
    Not sure why we are getting another Ultra OP. Wasn't there one already, with the light up Matrix?
    The rest is very MEH. Soundwave has knees at least but is woefully underdetailed. Prowl is interesting - first time since the Marvel comics to see him in blue, not black - but the toy is again, too simple. I might get it because, well, he is my favourite Autobot, but so far the Cyber Battalion one is better.

    You show the worst examples... I saw the JW2 toys in stores and could not believe how super articulated and detailed they are! The Indoraptor was especially amazing. Too bad I stopped collecting dino toys long ago.
