Transformers Cyberverse Autobot Guzzle action figure review

Transformers Cyberverse has plenty of already Deluxe and above sized guys such as Optimus Prime and Megatron but there's also the G1ish gems like Powerglide thrown into the mix. Another such character is Guzzle who hasn't been seen since his G1 Sparkbot toy. He's a green tank that turns into a yellow chested robot with some rather large limbs.

Guzzle has some pretty decent articulation for a Cyberverse like ball shoulders, elbows, hips, moving toes, tho his head is restricted to barely a swivel. His knees are jointed but more of an unfolded transformation, still they do the job. Guz's long reach is great and he can grapple other figures like a wrestler. I wish the giant cannon folded down over his shoulder but it can be swung out of the way.

Detail, detail, detail! Guzzle is loaded. His head is tiny yet you can see the inner eye detail and beak-like mouthparts. All over his body is excellent detail and on his alt mode every rivet is pronounced. His paint is pretty good too tho a wash would have really brought out the detail. Like his G1 form he has a bright yellow chest and tan/silver sections.

Tank mode is nice and compact. The turret doesn't rotate which may be a deal breaker for some. His gun comes in two parts and the larger section folds allowing it to be held in both hands, one hand, or split up on top of the tank. There's lettering on the sides and it looks like a great little military green tank. Overall he's a great little pocket-sized character like Powerglide and I hope Cyberverse starts to focus on the lesser known characters like Guzzle.

Transformers Cyberverse Decepticon Hatchet action figure review

Originally I wasn't going to get the Cyberverse figure. They're an odd scale (if scale actually meant anything in the line) and appeared to be just miniaturized versions of characters we had Deluxe and Voyagers of. Then I found Hatchet and was suddenly converted. Hatchet is actually one of the black SUV's from the movie I'm told, but for some reason is a jet here. Whatever, it works for him. You also get two mini-drones that turn into cannons.

Hatchet transformers fairly easily and has just the right amount of articulated sections to make him look great in both modes. His cougar/wolf/whatever-robot mode is quite articulated! Ball hips, shoulders, hinged wrists, ankles, knees, elbows, etc. His head is on a dual up/down hinge tho it can't turn side to side. Oh well, I guess he'll be running forward anyway. His tail extends, that's pretty cool.

Hatchet's alt mode is is nifty black and gold fighter jet. It has two detachable drone planes that turn into gun pods. Each pod has a different barrel. Buy two Hatchets and swap a pod if you want two of the same kind. His jet mode is sleek unless you look at it from behind. Since his paws don't fold up they're left sticking out from the back. Not a huge problem but kind of odd they didn't make them turn into thrusters or something.

So is he worth the $7-$8? Sure, why not. Hatchet is larger than the other Cyberverse so far and you need another jet to chase down Powerglide. His head is large, deluxe sized so you could customize it onto a Crankcase I'm betting and get your other dreads-Decepticon teammate.
