Ah hah! A Hashtag, that'll be nice...if it ever appears anywhere for me to buy it that is. *sigh*

Poor Hashtag. She's the redheaded stepkid of the Maltos, apparently.
For like a year the only toy of her is a tacticon, and now that we're getting something you can put with others? She's an Elita-1 repaint.

Yes, glad to see Hashtag getting a toy just in time for her debut in the cartoon in early 2023.

She's had a toy out for quite a while. I've got it.

Hmmmm. I think they are just those Cyberverse figures repackaged. No deco differences jump out to me.
That Soundwave is a fab toy. Laserbeack chest bursting action!!!
Hmmm. RID2015 and Cyberverse in particular were quite big lines. By contast, Earthspark seems quite small (with poor distribution).

That is... a choice, for sure. Especially given how long some of those figures hung around for. I don't really think anyone will be clamouring for that set. Hmmm. RID2015 and Cyberverse in particular were quite big lines. By contast, Earthspark seems quite small (with poor distribution). Yep, there were a lot more figures in Cyberverse. Remember those ridiculous, half-transf-converting scouts? Fun times. |

I really like Hashtag - the visor makes it look like she is rocking some sort of AR glasses, she's Hong-Kong movie-ing dual pistols and she kinda looks like she has the beginnings of a grin on her face.
Jawbreaker is delightful. The alt-mode and colour scheme looks like he has been watching TV Tokyo on a Sunday morning and has somewhat muddled up the aesthetics of both halves of Super Hero Time. Which is to say there is something delightfully bonkers about the end-result.
I have no idea who Aftermath is - but aesthetically it feels like they should be throwing themselves off a big bridge yelling "Witness Me!" in a deep voice, and for that alone I think they are kinda cool.
If I saw these in an actual store or at a convention I'd be very tempted by them. Unfortunately the odds of that happening have to be acknowledged to be pretty small, given what the distribution and stocking of main-line Transformers is like these days. :-(

If these are slightly retooled warriors, it does not bode well for them being sold by hasbro.

That's a new mold there for Jawbreaker, and much, much better than the previously-"released" Warrior class version. Whilst the Warriors have sufficed (and in the cases of the Maltobots, been superior than the Deluxes) for many figures, Jawbreaker is not one. I look forward to never being able to find one.

An odd thought has just struck me, whilst Bubble-wrapping the Deadeye Dual pack to go in the big box of donations. Of all the Hasbro or Tomy Transformers I have bought in the last twelve months, I think that almost the only ones that are actually staying are Twitch and Thrash (almost because I think I got a Studio Series dinobot in that period, and that is staying at the moment, whilst I decide whether I'm going to upgrade to the POTP versions if I can find them).
It occurs to me to think that says something about where my priorities lie with Transformers at the moment...

Those two look pretty good, almost like they're from a different line.

Odds of being able to get them in the UK: not just sub-zero but plain zero!

Surprised to see the last wave of Tacticons in the Entertainer today. Bumblebee and Megatron again, plus Twitch.
