Transformers Cyberverse Ultra Thunderhowl Found at US Retail

Anyway, I'm very selective in my Cyberverse purchases. I've yet to buy any deluxes. The only ones that I'm looking forward to right now are Arcee and that wolf guy. I'll buy them both full price when they come out.

Swivels at the biceps and thighs
Hinge knees and elbows
Ball jointed wrists and Universal ankles
Wolf head can open its mouth and pivot up and down at the base of the neck and the base of the skull.

He’s really only missing a neck swivel in robot mode.

einhazard wrote:Pros:
Cool design; I like that the tail is a sheath rather than a sword
The energon armor isn't super obtrusive (you can just straight-up ignore its existence if you want)
Transformation that's a little more complex than I thought. (but it's still basically the same as the armor-up cheetor)
crazy articulation for an Ultra

Cons:
The cape MUST BE REMOVED to do the armor but they don't make it easily removable (this is the worst part, and would not be a hassle if you didn't have to apply a stupid amount of force to get it to clip in. Ironically, you can transform him just fine with the cape on)
You have to pull the wolf head off the chest to make the armor work
Floppy hips

This! For sure!

Please remind me friends, we are getting a Deluxe of this guy too right?
Because this version looks pretty dang cool. I might like to have this biggon over the deluxe.

Basically ZeldaTheSwordsman doesn't think the animators should have ceded to the directors request that Bee lose his signature door wings in a bid to make bee look smaller.

I really like the play between the sword, wolf head, and tail. Definitely recommended if you are looking for something different

Articulation is what you would expe t from a Deluxe, although the ankle tilts are SUPER tight. The heel spurs help to balance the figure well, which is good, because...



*sigh*

I guess it could be worse. It does have a bit of an insect body look to it, which is kind of cool.



Compared to her sisters, she stands up well. Less, um, curvy than Generations Arcee, but not as buff as TR Arcee. A slim, athletic look.



Some backpack shots with other female bots.

Get it together, Hasbro.





Transformation is pretty good, although getting the hood and windscreen lined up can be a pain. Love the tiny, body car mode!



Really, what did you expect?



Some comparison shots with her sisters. More shellformer-y than Gen Arcee, but less egregious than the Earthrise version.









Bottom line is that it's not a perfect figure, but it's fun and incredibly cute. I'd definitely go for this over Earthrise Arcee unless you're looking for a more G1 look.
