Kingdom has been hit or miss for me, because I have no real interest in Fosilisers or even Beast Wars. I'm glad Kingdom's come and BW has got it's turn in the spotlight, but the toys .... I think because I like the original BW toys so much I've never felt they really need upgrading. Indeed I Toy-Fu'd all my T30 BW Upgrades a few years back. The new versions.... are OK, but I can't help thinking the original, especially Op and Megs, were much better. The Predacons, the 2 Dinosaurs in particular, all feel much too complicated. I tried TFing Blackarachnia and couldn't, and the other 2 just scare me! The only one of the remakes I've really warmed to is Airazor. Loving the Fossilisers though, something mad and new. And the standard of the G1 remakes continues high. Love Huffer and Inferno though there's something about Warpath that hasn't quite clicked even though he's probably more acurate. Possibly because he is a tad too complicated, possibly because the previous Generations Warpath was so good. Not sure. I find my interest is tailing in general, too. Artfire I can justify buying because I've not bought much else, and he's a mad G1 repaint. Selects is knocking out some great stuff, loving that line. Mad obscure repaints and stuff that doesn't quite fit in the main lines. SS86 and the Dinobot Road and that's about it. I'm waaay behind on SS86, only got the first deluxes this week. I can't say it's really doing it for me because I felt the Legends TR Blurr and Kup were superb and very much good enough. Do like their Lightpiping though. The completionist in me is only interested in the G1 I don't have updates of now, like the Autobot Targetmasters (and we have Artfire and Stepper before Sureshot and Pointblank, madness!). I'm not buying more Primes or Starscreams. I'm done. Yes, I'd like to some older less prominent stuff done. For Prime and Starscream etc to get my attention again they'd need to bring something new to the table like their CW and TR versions did

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad beast Wars is having it's turn. It's just not for me. I wasn't around when it first hit, and I have no nostalgia for it.

Yeah, Toy-Fu might be getting a boxful from me at some point if I can ever set my mind to disorganising everything.

Oh no, I don't like that Tracks! I'm really disappointed. I just don't like the look of this figure at all.

Oh no, I think we established Cyberverse are too small. The scale thing again.

For some, perhaps, but for others this is as dimly illuminated cobbled side-street, cobbles unmaintained and slick with recent rain, ever ready to turn one's ankle.

It's just nowhere near as good as the older Generations Cyclonus.

I think I'd much prefer him in classic toy colours. It's mostly the colours which don't do much for me - if we get a toy colours + target master version down the line I could be tempted.

I can't honestly complain too much in Cyclonus' case. The last Cyclonus was mass released toy colors, with the sunbow deco being very difficult to get. And that was 10+ years ago.
I don't mind sunbow homages when hasbro remembers Sunbow G1 worship is not a universal experience.

Better jet mode, less good robot mode. Oh, it's not bad. It's nice. I just prefer the previous deluxe Cyclonus with his wee Targetmaster pal. -Ralph

Oh dear.... I think.... I think there's too much car on his back-bit. And he's insanely gappy in the body.

The last Cyclonus was Combiner Wars, wasn't it? That was only- Crikey, actually it's six years now. Although there's a strong argument to be made that it wasn't a decent Cyclonus toy on account of the compromises that had to be made for its torso mode. Still, the version from the Grand Galvatron set looks really nice...

Looks the same as the last Rhinox, to my eyes! -Ralph Massive visual difference ranging from everything from size, colors, to styling and engineering. First time Ive seen a comparison. Huge difference and yet if you show me just one of them I couldnt tell you which it is.
