I love how Cyclonus is bigger than most of the other deluxes... He's like the muscle of the group.

This vid & pic review of Cyclonus and vid & pic review of Hound make me want them even more...

+1. Thanks for the links. Looking forward to these now.

the mould's look solid, still not sold on the colours though.

I have known not to trust fan reviews unless I know the source. Too many disappointing toys are given hype ridden reviews, particularly in the International boards.

My thoughts exactly. I'll wait for the Henkei release although I am a bit fearful of inappropriate chrome.

Seems as though the only figure in recent times that's been universally condemned is that Animated Jetfire/Jetstorm combiner
(is there any wanting for that figure at all... )

Well since they usually pay a whole lot for them I think they hype it up as a façade to cover their buyers remorse.

Peaugh's reviews are pretty straight forward and concise. Most point out the flaws as equally as the stellar parts. As long as a reviewer shows the toy alot, ie: lots of pictures, rom of limbs, comparisons, we can make pretty informed decisions ourselves.

Pics are easy to find, although I agree a lot of pictures helps a review. What really drives me nuts is how some reviewers will gush over a toy and just not bother looking for/mentioning shortcomings. It may not bother them, but if they see it, they should point it out. That way the reader can make the informed decision about whether or not that flaw will matter for them.

I agree with Firecracker. Peaugh's reviews are indeed concise and could arguable be referred to more as a quick tour of the figure than a review. He typically gives me what I need to make my own decision. While he rarely ends with something other than "I really like this figure", he does point out shortcomings but they're usually tied with constructive corrective fixes or enhancements.

Personally, I'd much prefer to watch one of Peaugh's quick figure "tours" then hear someone waffle for 10 minutes as most other "reviewers" do.

I'm actually looking forward to it, because it shows that Hasbro are at least trying to push the boundaries on what constitutes a Transformers toy - even if the result of their first attempt of a new concept doesn't quite appeal to most - it will still be something I can point out to others as a Transformers toy that does 'this', as opposed to most others just transforming from one mode to another. It's unique, like Magmatron or WST, or Darth Vader/Death Star for forming an actual sphere, so it gets points for at least being different to most other TFs that just turn from robot to vehicle.
