Re: Fall of Cybertron - Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave

I think Shockwave is the only figure I'm getting of the 3. Was excited about Jazz but the more I see him the less I like him. As for Prime, I'll stick to the WFC one.

Re: Fall of Cybertron - Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave

I like the paint on Jazz and Shockwave. Not so much Prime. I think WfC Prime looks better overall. Proportions are a problem; Jazz and Shockwave look awkward.

Good reviews, Cpl.

Re: Fall of Cybertron - Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave

I got my order a few weeks ago now and to me, prime is the winner of the three. Shockwave is okay, but the lack of articulation kills me. Plus his gun arm is super lame.

Jazz is just pathetic. It really really sucks that sideswipe is a retool of this... Tool. Until someone figures out what the heeeeellllll to do with that awful upper body jazz will warm the pegs along with the last six versions of bumblebee.

My scores:

Prime - 9/10 - vehicle mode weapon is totally useless & ruins it for bot mode
Shockwave: 6/10
Jazz 4/10

Re: Fall of Cybertron - Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave

If they keep going at this rate, by next year Deluxes will be Scout sized and completely unpainted. The new Prime has made the old Prime look comparatively larger and more detailed and finished. I guess that's something.

Jazz looks like a KO.

Re: Fall of Cybertron - Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave

It's amazing to see the size comparrison of FOC Jazz and RTS Windcharger, virtually the same size in alt mode, but one costs more.....

I'll likely pick up the set and stiff enjoy the figures, a bit let down about the size though

Re: Fall of Cybertron - Optimus Prime, Jazz and Shockwave

Does anyone get the feeling that Bruticus and his 'limbs' are going to be smaller than these three?

I saw a review that showed Onslaught is a bit taller than Shockwave. Not sure how he compares to the other 4 though.
