I love how Hasbro couldn't find a picture of Cybertron Hot Shot. Hasbro. The people that make the toys. With access to a whole Interwebs of data. Great job.

Dreamwave folded before Cybertron, and the cartoon was... uh.... maybe there isn't a decent 2D image of him?

He had packaging art!
Whether or not you’d call it decent I’m not sure, but it was also in a circle for the Cybertron packaging so would have been perfect for photoshopping into that space bridge image.

Given what I know of business practices in the video game industry, holding on to 20 year + old art assests isn't high on the agenda.

Looks nice, but since deciding not to back Omega Prime I find myself indifferent. With RiD I think I am now just sticking with the originals, even with their tortured transformations.

That does look quite nice. Sufficiently different to the original to be interesting while clearly being a direct homage.
I think I also fall into the didn't-back-the-Haslab category, though I could be tempted by it in a sale.

I just realised they could have done what the Lego minifigures do, and put a second toy face on the back of Gears' head!

A toy face on him would have been brilliant.
By chance I have Core Soundwave on my desk. I'd forgotten there was a cassette in his chest. That Laserbeak doesn't actually fit in Gears; if they'd managed that I'd have been truly impressed.

There's believed to be a toy face in existence on his Selects Smallfoot repaint |

I'd be interested in SPOILER, but not this Gears.

In tape mode only. Soundblaster has Buzzsaw
You can swap them round

Well, in reality he has a small piece of rectangular plastic painted to look like Laserbeak's cassette mode, which sits inside an opening door in Soundwave's chest. Pretending this can play the part of Gears' dodgy circuit is pushing it a bit.

Seven figures in one day, leaves me with too much to process.
Cheetor- first beast era character that's reasonable in scale with the G1 generations.
Good robot. Beast mode leaves a lot to be desired.
Basically, he's too simple to have such a poor beast mode.
Gears- He's another one of those that's become so common, who looks a lot better in hand than in photos.
Everything that looks weird about him in pictures just... doesn't really exist in hand. Even the wheel issue isn't nearly as bad.
Shard- Best of the three Rockizers! Best of all the izers, actually! I completely forgot she comes apart, she's so well made!
Chromia- ...is a thing that exists. If you hate the mold, then you'll hate her.
I like the mold, her new head is great, and her deco is lovely.
But she brings nothing new to the table. She's a terrible representation of Cyberverse Chromia, but as a toy and as Chromia, she's a significant improvement over Siege.
But I'm biased, I was sick of the Siege mold before it was even released. PotP saw to that.
Since T30 is still the best Chromia, this perfectly fine, but unimportant figure will become a stand in for Night Ranger.
