Transformers CyberWorld: Optimus STILL Hates Spiders

Put me on the list of people who think Cyberworld IS Cybertron, and the Big Red Button reformatted the planet in order to avert something worse. The whole "undersea/underground" theme of the next year of toys would suggest they're going under what turns out to be a surface-only reformatting.

A wild Cheetor and Jazz appeared!

So, there was a lot of speculation that Jazz was a remold of Cheetor; while they have shared engineering and an identical transformation, there seems to be no shared parts between the two. They have larger bodies than previous quadruped Megatron, but the arm and leg proportions seem a little off, moreso on Jazz than Cheetor. Jazz in particular reminds me of the Landstriders in The Dark Crystal. My Jazz had an assembly error on his right knee, so I may be looking for a second copy.
As with all the Cyberworld figures, the lack of elbows and head movement really hurt an otherwise okay pair of figures. Cheetor gets a tail to wield as a sword (I assume, could also be a whip), but posing is limited.
The atypical altmode for Jazz is fun, but Cheetor kinda reads as Tigatron, and would probably have been better released in a different color (CATscan red, perhaps?). For $10 a piece, I don't feel like they are a terrible deal, but I wouldn't expend a lot of time, energy, or money trying to hunt them down.

No pics for now, but I also found Scourge and Shockwave on the same run, and I will say, I really appreciate the ways the smaller figures continue to interact with the larger ones. It's really been an good interconnected toyline, lacking mainly elbows and accessory packs to elevate it to great.

There's a universe somewhere where 3P kits with injection-molded plastic exist specifically to replace the arms on all the Cyber Changers. Just the arms, identical paint, but with elbows. And scattered posts in the fandom keep wishing they'd make more upgrade kits to fill little gaps in mainline toys, maybe add parts that make them more Geewun, but they're just not profitable enough.

There MAY be another universe where Hasbro just does it themselves, but who knows.
