I really wanted to like this toy being one of the few original characters to emerge from Transformers in a while... but I find this toy to be all kinds of disappointment. :(
* The elbows are prone to popping off
* There's a massive gap beneath the back plate in beast mode. I think it's meant to represent a cape? (I haven't seen this character's appearance on the show yet) - if so it's a very poor representation.
* The fists don't conceal. It's like a Wolverine cosplayer on all fours.
* While I appreciate the robot shoulders swinging down to make the beast mode less humanoid, it does mean that the gait is more avian than mammalian.
* Apparently this is the least show-like of the Cyberverse Warriors. This personally doesn't bother me - I just want a good toy. But it fails on that level too.
* The flame effect for the sword looks really nice and I like how it can also be attached to the barrel inside the mouth to replicate fire breath.
* The way that the back plate becomes the shield is also a neat touch and reminiscent of K-9.
OVERALL: There are just way more minuses than plusses on this figure. Not recommended.
