Absolutely no idea where mine is.
God, remember how we frothed and hoped that the shampoo bottle line Shockwave would be 'okay' for Generations, even though it didn't have knees or elbows, because oh my god it was a Shockwave. Now we're inundated with the buggers and they shelf warm. The world's gone mad.

Oh I remember that shampoo bottle one. Sadly it never came out here.
I am very happy with my EIGHT Cyberverse Shockwaves though. And the Siege one. And Galactic Man.
Young Ralph could never have dreamed his favourite character would one day be so plentiful.

As the Doctor points out, this is a tricky poll since the line is not yet complete, and not all the toys have yet to reach our shores. If they had then maybe figures like the Sharkticons or Gnaw might be on this list. But they haven't, so they're not. As so: - 5. Scraplet - Doesn't transform properly, but who cares when it's as expressive and silly as this?
- 4. Scout Windblade - Not the best articulated Scout, and she doesn't even turn into a proper plane, but she's a really fun little toy to play with, and just feels nice in hand.
- 3. Ultimate Optimus Prime - Chunky, solid Optimus Prime, and you can open his shirt to reveal his spinning Matrix nipple - great to fiddle with. Which is why he's not allowed anywhere near me when we're watching TV.
- 2. Ultra Clobber - A new female character who's also a homage to one of the TFA greats, represented as a very solid little toy with more articulation than I was expecting, and a gimmick that doesn't get in the way of anything.
- 1. Ultra Shockwave - Cyberverse has produced some good Shockwaves, and this is the best. Sure, the alt-mode's a bit questionable, but to my mind it's still better than a "submarine" or "space battleship". Such an expressive mold, very well articulated, and a surprise fifth arm (fnarr). Possibly one of the best Shockwaves ever.
And a notable mention should of course go to Warrior Soundwave - SURPRISE BREAST ATTACK! |

Week H: Top 5 Battlemaster ToysYour top 5 Battlemaster toys please 2. Aimless 1. Blowpipe Only bought the two, mostly to "complete" TR Triggerhappy and Misfire. Nice, solid little toys. I didn't think I'd like the blast effects at all, but they're actually kind of fun. |

The humanoid ones are all pretty much the same. They do the job of giving various Targetmasters their weapons, so it comes down really to the choice of colour and blast effect. Rung is different because of who he is. I've no real interest in the animal ones because they don't have a purpose in my display, but ironically I'd say the best of the lot is probably Smashdown because he makes a great hammer, has a nice blast effect and his robot is something a bit different.

I got really excited about these little chaps until I realised we weren't going to get the full set. TR Blurr, TR Kup and CW Cyclonus still need their Targetmasters, and TR Quake is missing Tiptop and Heater. There are Legends versions of Haywire and Recoil, but they don't go with the Battlemasters at all.
