E. Ravage comes with Hound.

Apparently Ravage fits into TRU Soundwave. I assuming G1 Soundwave.

Loving Universe so much. All ths new figures are geat. Hound and Inferno are exactly what Universe is to me - same robot, same vehicle, just updated. Not so fussed abot Rabage as I don't have Soundwave but Cyclonus having Nightstick just makes me grin. The only gripe I've had so far with this line is that the Sunstreaker figure isn't great and Sideswpie is a very lazy update. Aside from that this is probably my fave line since RiD.
Edit: Jin Saotome, being the clever chap that he is, has found a brilliant use for the reversible nature of Sunstreaker's robot mode - Punch/Counterpunch!

Hound looks great, the Legends are legend but the rest is pretty passable.

I wonder if Hasbro/Taraka will make more cassettes and release them in mini vs. packs like Hound and Ravage.
I didn't notice how accurate Hound was to the G1 toy. It's pretty cool.

Cheetor looks rubbish. He shouldnt need a flat panel on the back of his head, and the cheetah head looks stupid on his chest. the original was better. I do want cyclonus now though, definitely.

Shadow Blade Megatron, are Hasbro trying to be clever by not naming you Galvatron?
And of the new Universe Classics, Inferno is the most alluring by far.

Hound + Ravage and Cyclonus + Nightstick were speculated about for quite a while now, but it's nice to see toys for them. And good toys too. Inferno needs a ladder though, instead of that gun.
The Legends are pretty ok, except for Beachcomber. Come on, what kind of vehicle is that?? I don't like Bumblebee either, but at least he's already been a regular Classic. Cosmos is just brilliant.
I agree. The cheetah mode is quite good, but the robot mode completely ruins it.

upon re looking: the universe legends brawn and beachcomber....they are nice and all, but they really need to make them into delux figures at least, sure make legends for the kiddies but don't skimp for us

Hm. Inferno looks, i'm sad to say, a lot like those cheap knockoffs you see in toy shops, a mixture between optimus prime and red hotspot.

To me he's more reminiscent of Brave bots like Guard Fire.

Overload, Vector Prime and Leo Prime will be Cybertron repaints. I'd place money on it.

Don't be. It's a Cybertron Evac recolour.
Weren't voyagers supposed to be $10 more? Not that I object to $20 for a voyager
