Cyberverse Legion Ratchet, Bumblebee

Cyberverse Rachet. Not much to say really.




Bumblebee; another basic Cyberverse Legion. Cyberverse series makes for nice little troopbuilders if you're into that thing. Not to be confused with the Animated Cyberverse series currently airing.

Junk reviews: Cyberverse Legion Mudflap, Roadbuster



Cyberverse Mudflap. His arms only swivel out to the sides so he can't do any real punching with that big-ass fist of his. Unless he does a straight sideways punch without looking. 😛 Not much can be done about that ridiculous gap between his head and his chest either.


At least the vehicle mode looks somewhat decent.



Cyberverse Roadbuster. The movie Cyberverse Legion series typically didn't come with weapons but the managed to attach a chainsaw as part of this figure. He's quite a bit better than Mudflap but that's not saying much.


He transforms into the weaponized version of his vehicle mode.

Junk review: Authentics Bravo Ratchet, Deluxe Animated Soundwave


I'm gonna switch gears just for a minute and short review something rather new; Authentics Bravo Ratchet. It and Authentics Alpha Soundwave came out shortly just as the COVID-19 pandemic started and I was able to score them before hunkering down. Ratchet is, in a word, junk; he looks all right just standing but the big problem is his arm kibbles seriously get in the way of posing. Any attempt to pose him in something other than a generic standing pose will require some time and patience; definitely not a good "action" figure.


You can kinda get him to do an uppercut but even that is a huge pain.


Vehicle mode is a toy-ish looking ambulance. The front and back doesn't lock together so there's a semi-permanent gap.



Let's move onto Transformers Animated Deluxe Soundwave. Playing around with the robot mode, I'm kinda reminded of a butler. A quiet, combat butler. No? Anyways. He has digigrade-ish legs although he seems to have a wide enough feet. Actually, I'm not even sure I have the feet transformed correctly here. 😅 His arms are starting to have a slight warp to them due to them being all thin and then thrown into a toy bin. Part of his chest separates to become a drone bird.


Soundwave's alt-mode is a drone plane. Due to transformation, you can separate the lower part of the "head" to form a makeshift mouth which I used as the main point in one of my photocomics. I found it kinda fun.

Looks like I'm going to go through each box of toys I run across and decide if I keep it or not. So far, it's all junk but I see a few on the bottom of my current box that I might actually keep. We'll see.
