While not much to write home about regarding certain design choices, their cheaper prices and converting gimmicks seem to be their saving grace. Especially being aimed for children. Toy Story but it's Star Convoy instead of Buzz Lightyear, it could probably work just as well.

ive had nightshade for a while and they are lovely. the budget on the earthspark deluxes works well with their form factor, they’re small enough to not feel like they’re hollowed out, even the legs can be forgiven with their lovely articulation and unique transformation. they just feel very right for the character even if they’re not entirely screen accurate. also, i would like a deluxe jawbreaker please, the earthspark warriors are certainly a step up from the cyberverse warriors but i think he could still do with that extra push to be truly as good as he can be.

Out of the four, I only gotten Grimlock and Jawbreaker so far. Grimlock is what I wanted (yes a smaller Grimlock) and is mostly decent. Just that I bought a 3P Grimlock (Iron Factory Samurai) whose is so much better! Jawbreaker is again decent but likewise is very hollow. Just wish they could of made the tail longer like have it as a sword Jawbreaker could use!

So, there are my thoughts 1 Grimlock - A good looking Cyberverse Deluxe retool. I dare to say he even look's better than Cyberverse. Skullcruncher -seen better one step changers, but either way, I could care less Nightshade -Dicent robot mode, nice accesories and storage. But as for the Owl mode, it isn't bad, but the arms should have been desighned like ones on Kingdome Cheetor. Jawbreaker - my favorite thas far, besides cutting off the knee spikes for better tail in altmode, I have no problem saying he is quite good.

£55.99 is why I've said "no mas" to Transformers for a while! I'll stick with fun, cheap collectibles. Like MOTU Origins...... what? WHAT?!!! £60?! For Rokkon?! ...... No I didn't buy it off Mattel Creations at the time as I was working!....... Yes I know it's sold out bu........ £60?! Well...... That's another line gone! Time to collect Rock Lords as, unlike Rokkon, they look decent as rocks, ACTUALLY transform AND don't look like a petrified child in robot mode. Yes he's a comet bloke, not a robot blah blah blah, but he looks so bloody awful 🤣 The fours lads in this video were really nice though Gavin! Great review as always and it's nice to see toys still being fun and not taking an age to flip between modes! Will be picking up that Skullcruncher for the kids for sure!

i got the takara version of nightshade as a birthday gift a while ago, and their transformation is satisfyingly quick! unfortunately their wing got slightly warped in shipping due to how they're posed in the plastic bubble blister pack, but thankfully the paint's fine. hasbro definitely had the better idea to keep the wings separate. the metallic green is so shiny i think it can actually very slightly reflect me with enough sunlight. i would buy a generations voyager of them with considerable haste
