Yikes, glad I bought Wheeljack now. Was Dead End the best thing they could come up with? Funny that he seems to have a lot of paint applications, when guys like Knockout suffer for seeming unfinished. Airachnid looks pretty good.

My wallet has been thanking me for the fact that there are only two Prime figures I've even been considering buying at this point (Knockout and Rumble), but dang, that Dead End is pushin' all my buttons! I'll need a better view of the head sculpt and a non-photoshopped version of its color scheme before I make my final decision on it, but I already can't help but think about getting it. Why must you always do this to me, Hasbro?

Woo! Ultra Magnus is an original mold!
Now I can stop worrying about that, and start worrying about if he's going to be a jerk in the show or not. Oh man, I wonder if he's compatible with Optimus Maximus. This post has been edited by Silent_Magnus: Mar 31 2012, 03:05 PM -------------------- |

Magnus is the best thing here. He's a new mold, which is great, though I certainly wouldn't have minded a white Optimus. I also love how they worked his hammer in, even if his truck mode isn't as military looking as AniMagnus. Can't wait to get it. Also, I thought I had seen a sword for CV Optimus at that one convention where they were first displayed.
Airachnid is disappointing mostly in that, if they were going to drop the spider mode, they still should have made it so only had 4 back projections in bot mode instead of five. Ruins the spider motif pretty handily. Copter mode looks good, though. Dead End is weird, but yay for head remolds and damn do I like that green. -------------------- |

I wonder why Banzai-Tron is named Dead End. I hope they don't have any plans to do Aligned Stunticons later, I'd hate for it to be another UT mess where they have to rename classic characters because of prior inappropriate name reuses.

There's no way that's all paint on Dead End. Clearly the mold break down is a bit more varied than Wheeljack's abundance of white would show us.

Magnus looks like a cross between Animated and RiD Magnuses. I love that he still has a hammer. Hopefully that's his thing from now on. I certainly hope for a Voyager (or larger) one.
Maybe Airrachnid (two Rs now, apparently) has some representation of her spider-bot mode. But it doesn't look like it'll be very impressive if it's there. Dead End looks interesting. I like Prime enough to be interested in non-show characters, if he is indeed one. Is Hot Shot labelled Shadow Strike Bumblebee, or is there a redeco that isn't in the photos? Are these from an Asian-market catalog? -------------------- I have signatures disabled because they suck.

I'm crossing my fingers for a larger Airrachnid at some point, though I realize that's probably a pipe-dream.
Meanwhile, I've only been purchasing the lithe Prime figures so far (Starscream, Arcee, Soundwave) but I may need to make an exception for a larger Magnus. |

Airachnid looks pretty nice, as does Ultra Magnus. Dead End is kinda meh, but that mold was awesome so I might end up getting it.

Okay, so out of the announced molds outside of Cyberverse
Autobots Bumblebee Arcee Cliffjumper Wheeljack Kup Ratchet Bulkhead Optimus Prime Cons Starscream Soundwave Knock Out Breakdown Dreadwing Rumble Megatron Vehicon Funny, I thought that there were more 'Con Powerizer/Revealers than there were Autobots. Turns out they're about even. |

Dead End's face makes me think they were going for a Titan Dead End vibe for him.

I can deal with that Cyberverse Commander Ultra Magnus, of I can deal with him. Cool to see a Prime redeco with swords, have to have that too.
Airachnid looks boss and Dead End too. --------------------  |

Hm. I'll probably get Dead End. Great mold and I'll want to even out my forces a bit.

I get a little bit of a Stormtrooper Rage vibe out of Deadend.

Since it was in Exodus, I'd wager the hammer is in Hasbro's setting bible entry for the character. QUOTE(Mouse_Pad @ Mar 31 2012, 04:41 PM) I certainly hope for a Voyager (or larger) one. Amen to that. He's a Wrecker in this setting, so I'd wager he'll play into the story at some point.Even if he doesn't get a bigger toy, I won't mind having a collection of Cyberverse Wreckers. --------------------  |
