While Jawbkreaer has yet to choose his alt mode in the Transformers Earthspark show, his spoilerific toy is being found in the US. Fellow Seibertronian Emerje found it in a Walmart in Maine. Starscream is part of the same wave of warrior class toys.
Emerje wrote:Found Jawbreaker (and Starscream) at Walmart tonight. He's pretty simple, but has an effective transformation. I like the way everything tucks away leaving him kibble free. Definitely a worthwhile Warrior class figure.

One guy was selling it on eBay but by the time I got around to buying it it had already sold.

I really appreciate how the weapon gimmick is so well hidden, it really took me a moment to find it. Hopefully, this shows up at retail sooner than later since I know Jawbreaker is on a lot of fans lists.

I've always wondered when will Hasbro do the Primus' Thirteen in CHUG scale/style. God I'd be extremely happy to have a shelf section with only the First Primes.
The rumored Vector Prime got me hyped. But I doubt that'll be the first of the 13 any time soon... UNLESS the new Skybound TF comics come out with the reveals of all of them. That storyline will be EPIC if it becomes reality.

As for height, he's "short Deluxe" (yes, I know he's a Warrior), I'm guessing about the same as Earthrise Cliffjumper. The smallest Deluxe I have on my desk right now is Bumblebee Movie Cybertronian Arcee and she's taller than him.

That's won't do for a CHUG scale Maccadam stand-in. The wait continues...

This very original alt mode is the reason why some fans were very curious to get a look at the upcoming deluxe Nightshade toy. Well we finally have images of this toy and you can see it below. The wings seems to be detachable, to help give the robot a more sleek silhouette. Let us know if you think the alt mode was well translated to toy form or not and if it interests you.
The images were found on Instagram as well as from a video review

Well, careful what you wish for. All of Nightshade's awesome features like the head and wings are overwhelmed by the totally unconcealed bot arms being right out in front whereas they'd be underneath and somewhat ignorable on most other types of birds...but at least the sloppy full-breasted undercarriage kibble is symmetrical.
Still bought on sight though!

It depends on the lighting and the angle of the face, but no, it's not just you. I'm very excited to get two more Terrans, and I hope that there will be more in the Warrior and Deluxe classes.

This:
But an owl.
It's a great looking figure, really love the colors and how solid the owl mode looks. Moreso the wings being detachable and the mounts folding away in bot mode is a "chef's kiss" moment, really well thought out figure.
I hope that, like Cyberverse, they continue to do bonus Deluxe figures that don't include BAF parts. Really want a Deluxe Tarantulas. We need Hashtag, but I think she'll have to be a Spin Changer given her size.

First impression I got too. But then I rewatched the episode and seeing the altmode in motion makes me see this figure as intended.

We have 4 of the Terrans now, and all seem to have pretty solid toys.
Now we just need a Hashtag that isn't a finger flipper!

For accuracy (what's that?) Hashtag should be a Spin Changer. I think it would suit her.

At the very least bring back the Cyberverse Ultra class.

There you have fresh new pics of them both. Feel free to use them as you wish

The pictures below will speak for themselves, but you'll be able to spot additional paint applications, different shades of paint and even proper Ghost faction logos that make nearly the entire line more show accurate. Even the packaging is different, which we know thanks to gadepon on Twitter. One other notable change is that the deluxe figures don't appear to include build-a-figure pieces for Mandroid, but it's Mandroid so nothing of value is really lost.
The first 11 toys will release on October 28th and include:
- ESC-01 Spin-Changer Optimus Prime
- ESC-02 Spin-Changer Bumblebee
- ESD-01 DX Optimus Prime
- ESD-02 DX Megatron
- ESD-03 DX Bumblebee
- ESD-04 DX Twitch
- ESS-01 Spot-Change Optimus Prime
- ESS-02 Spot-Change Megatron
- ESS-03 Spot-Change Bumblebee
- ESS-04 Spot-Change Twitch
- ESS-05 Spot-Change Swindle
6 more toys will be released on November 11, which includes:
- ESD-05 DX Nightshade
- ESD-06 DX Shockwave
- ESD-07 DX Grimlock
- ESD-08 DX Starscream
- ESS-06 Spot-Change Wheeljack
- ESS-07 Spot-Change Soundwave
Finally, here is a look at some of the new packaging, where you can see the Spin-Changers sporting a window box and the DX figures on a bubble card.

I'll be honest, before Titans Return I only bought the Japanese releases when they were THAT much better or different. Toon accurate Astrotrain, Tracks with the proper flames, and stuff like that. With Titans Return, Takara went all in and their releases outshone almost every Hasbro release, new tooling, Targetmasters, and glorious paint. Unfortunately, even from Amazon Japan, the cost of importing has shot up so much that I'll have to be very, very choosy.

I'm sure they will

I bet some of those will hit eBay and such once the figure's actually complete.Sabrblade wrote:This is a dilemma for me.

When it ends they're just going to replace it with another line like this one replaced Cyberverse and that replaced RID.

They are also reminding me that I really hope Grimlock and Nightshade come in stock soon, I want both, they are both great characters in the show, and I really want to complete Mandroid, even if his toy does not match any of his fictional appearances funny enough.
Next wave of BAF will be Mandroid in the Season finale, calling it now.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:The truest definition of a desk toy is something fun to fidget around with. We should all know what to expect with Flip Changers from Earthspark by this point. No articulation, all gimmicks. Terran Twitch looks really good and is close to the show model. As I always say do NOT throw these around as they can break, I'm especially concerned about the Vtol wings on Twitch.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Well, this figure almost fooled me. I first thought this was an all-new mold with so many new parts. Grimlock, is a heavy retool of the Cyberverse Deluxe figure, almost every exposed piece is retooled from that mold. While my copy is a bit loose in the hips, I find this to be the better of the two releases.

If there is another wave. Cyberverse only did the one BAF of Maccadam, and all Deluxe waves after those with his parts nixed the BAF incentive entirely.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Next wave of BAF will be Mandroid in the Season finale, calling it now.

I was saying it sarcastically but also wishfully, i don't expect another BAF or to see mandroid in that form in toy form
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on September 26th, 2023 @ 7:50am CDT
I like it, but I feel this one suffers from being a retool.
But at the same time, it is awesome to have Keith David toys alongside Tony Todd toys on the shelves.
