Ah, okay, I was confused then.

Aye aye!

william-james88 wrote:The recent review of Transformers Cyberverse warrior Shockwave thought us that some toys in this line could be solid. Well, now we have a review for warrior Starscream which teaches us that some toys in this line can also be exactly what fans expected. Xortrider has just uploaded his review of the figure and we learn some tidbits we were all unaware of before.

For one we now know the toy's action gimmick, which is that the torso can spin when wound up. Also, we learn that his legs are on the same joint and are devoid of any articulation like knees, thigh swivel or ankle tilt (basically like G1 Jumpstarters but with an extra hip joint).

So let us know what you think? Do you think at least your kids will like this Starscream?

Enjoy the review!

Very well said, and welcome to seibertron

Aimless, kids buy these. Does that mean you're going to run up to little kids wanting to buy the toys of the characters they've been watching, and tell them they can't because you don't like them? Can't see that working out well

Better yet imagine someone doing that when g1 toys were on shelves...

I think that's a brilliant idea. In fact let's go further and rip the toys out of kids hands, what's the worst that can happen?

That assumes Generations toys sell well. The truckloads of unsold wave 1 Rodimus Prime toys at my Walmart says otherwise.

I don't think we need to go that far but I think kids deserve better like how it was for me as a kid during g1 I was in awe with the toys, I don't see that with these

HA! I was actually going to respond the exact same line.

You took my comment out of context!
You should know better than try to be smart with me
Where you a kid back then?, no?
Then don't judge!
I was referring the cars like jazz and bluestreak the seekers even shockwave and soundwave, yes they had simple transformations and little to no articulation but the detail was there
I don't see that with the current tv show toys

Also doesn't help that what came out back in the 80s was pretty new, innovating, and revolutionary back then. After 30+ years, what was new and awe-inspiring to kids back then isn't so much anymore to us cynical adults of today.

It's like this was a knockoff.
How can Shockwave be so food and Starscream so pathetic IN THE SAME LINE?

I'd eat up that Shockwave.

Yeah, so, to put it another way, if we had somehow never gotten the G1 stuff back in the 1980s, but did still get everything post-G1 (let's pretend for this hypothetical scenario that the Transformers began with, say, the latter G2 stuff in 1994 or 1995 instead), if we were to instead get the G1 stuff, for the first time ever, in this day and age, the 1980s engineering of those toys wouldn't be as impressive after all the other more advanced stuff that had come before. At most, it would be seen as a sort of novelty of quaintness, which the non-Warrior class toys of this line can best be described as. The 1980s were the right time and place for the G1 stuff to come out, and with the non-Warriors of this line evoking that level of gimmickry and simplicity, they feel more like product of the 1980s' time than of today. A 30+ year regression in Transformers toy engineering.
