Soundwaves car modes a bit meh, bot modes better but def not one to raise his arms in the poses shown the way those flaps work and at least the fore arms arent ruined visually by hollows.

I wonder if they'll ever make a Silverstreak repaint?
Soundwave and his butt-rack. Is that unsightly thing show accurate?
And finally, too bad Starscream's jet mode is such a mess.

It's not accurate and ruins any attempt at the imposing silhouette he has on the show. Really not a fan of these.

That would be a terrrible Slipstream since she is a totally different alt mode and design than Starscream is. Starscream's design is different from all other seekers.

I sincerly hope it's the usual Hasbro photographer's derp.
This will determine whennever or not I'm buying him.

Changing all that blue to gray would also make the sides of the robot torso gray instead of blue, giving the robot mode a cleaner look as well.
This is all even shown on the jet mode seen in the back-of-the-box pic, which looks much better.

As is, all that blue breaks up the color scheme of the wings and nosecone to make for a much less clean look.

That's exactly what I said last week, too much blue, but I could see why they might have had to do it that way logistically.
Emerje wrote:I think he looks OK, but would have looked better if they had kept the parts color layout from the CG on the back of the box. I can see why they had to do that, it would have really bumped up the white parts count to fix the wings and underside and only left a few red and blue parts which might have been hard to part out for molding. Then again his forearms are supposed to be molded in blue but they did white instead so maybe they could have made it work. Really the only thing that actually annoys me is the visible hands, but even the early CG didn't have a solution for that.
My biggest issue with Prowl is the cut outs in the back of car mode, it's very unsightly and almost ruins an overall nice figure.

Prowl and Soundwave look alright (although Laserbeak is tiiiny!), but that Starscream does not look all that well in person. There's no room in my collection (or budget!) for these guys right now, so I'm passing on them. So I could be wrong, but Prowl definitely looks to be the best of the bunch.

Prowl is the best of the lot. He is really solid, I love how the legs work, the robot mode is pretty good, transformation has some neat new tricks while also using some from Siege, car mode is decent, and he looks and feels good.
Soundwave was the one I was most excited for, because I loved him in the show. He's not too bad, the kibble gets in the way some around back, but at least they gave him his killer show headsculpt. I like the truck mode too, and he has his little Laserbeak! He's good.
Starscream is good in robot mode, with excellent paint and detail, and the best effects parts. Sadly, while the transformation is involved, the result sucks. So he is probably my 2nd least favorite deluxe above Thunderhowl. Also my wife said his chest missiles make him look like he's lactating, and I can never see him the same again

I hope they don't. Starscream was entirely unique compared to every other seeker.
But. Soundwave did have the waves from other universes, so maybe that could work

That is the 1 detriment of the mold to me, but I think the kibble on Soundwave still ranks him a little lower than Prowl

For sure, that back kibble is what is stopping me from getting the toy most.

It does get in the way of the waist swivel, legs moving, and posing. I don't know why there could not have been just a little more work done to it to not have that issue

If anything is only one step, then sure. None of the Beast Wars figures are though since they require an additional step of sorts. If there's a figure that transforms in just one step that you think is better than anything else mentionned, let me know.

I definitely like the Machine Wars Basics. The jets in particular since their altmode kibble doesn't get in the way of their articulation like the race car and tow truck kinda do.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:If you're including Jumpstarters and Rescue Bots, that oughta open the door for other single-step transforming toys like the Flipchangers of Beast Wars and Machine Wars, the Beast Machines Deployers, the Fall of Cybertron Data Discs, the G2/BWII Autorollers, Bot Shots, etc.william-james88 wrote:I guess I have to write a top 5 Best One Steps list and have him in it.

Though, wait, 1996 Rattrap can transform in one step. I just tried it with mine.

A lot of Basic Beast Wars figures are like that since they're spring loaded. At best you have to readjust the arms and maybe feet, but it's basically one big step. Same can be said for a lot of figures called one step, like Repugnus who needs to have his monster legs moved to his back in an extra step once you unfold him. BW bat Primal is exactly one step, no need to adjust any other parts aside from his swords which aren't part of the transformation.

While we're talking one steps, not only would Whirl deserve to be on such list (as #1 no doubt to me) but Cyberverse Repugnus deserves to be on there too. That is also a great figure. And we cannot forget RiD2015 Springload, that's a pretty fun toy too

True, they had more in common with Bandai's Super Sentai and especially Machine Robo Rescue offerings which were fun in their own way. The torsos just needed better hands... or hands period
And count me in for more Dinos!

Or it's a rerelease of the botbots that already exist and become dinosaurs in new decos.

I bought a deluxe Optimus Prime from Amazon and the plastic feels really flimsy.
I know this is a "kids line" and sacrifices were made to include the BAF pieces but it's the single cheapest feeling Transformer I own.
I feel like these figures would be pretty low on the list to create KOs of considering they would also have to include the Maccadam parts (and, ironically, the arm piece that came with Optimus feels of much higher quality than Prime himself) but I just wanted to make sure.
