Speaking of Tarn, the entire Cyberverse ImprovedSecondAttempt entries need some addressing:
** When it comes to the \\\'\\\'[[WesternAnimation/TransformersCyberverse Cyberverse]]\\\'\\\' figures, all but Tarn[[note]]who is just a redeco of his comics counterpart figure[[/note]] have been considered major improvements:
*** \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\' Chromia, while fans are disappointed she\\\'s simply a new-head retool of \\\'\\\'Animated\\\'\\\' Prowl and lacks her signature weapons, is still a vast improvement over the figure of her \\\'\\\'Siege\\\'\\\' incarnation, featuring a more involved transformation, greater posability unhindered by kibble and shellforming, and being based on a fairly well-liked mold rather than being intentionally designed after the incredibly unpopular fembot mold from \\\'\\\'Power of the Primes\\\'\\\' despite sharing no parts or even having a combining feature.
*** \\\'\\\'\\\'This is a completely different character. It is, in no conceivable way, a \\\"second attempt.\\\" If you count it, then you need to lump in \\\'\\\'T30\\\'\\\' Chromia and even movie Chromia who aren\\\'t addressed.
*** \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\' Shadow Striker is a similar case to Chromia. The vast majority were disappointed to see that in the end, she was clearly made to be a pre-tool for \\\'\\\'RID 2000\\\'\\\' Side Burn, but even then, the bar was so low to jump it\\\'s still agreed to be an improvement compared to the toys she did receive in \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\', one being a tiny Scout Class figure, a line infamous in \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\' for the whole point of it being selling characters \\\'mid-transforming\\\'[[note]]AKA not transforming into their full alternate or beast modes in sacrifice for a gimmick[[/note]], and an Ultra Class figure that\\\'s best described as one of the [[https://tfwiki.net/mediawiki/images2/8/88/Cyberverse-Ultra-Shadow-Striker.jpg most egregious shellformers ever]], despite the class offering decent figures for others like Shockwave or Clobber.
*** \\\'\\\'\\\'This one I\\\'m mostly fine with, but I think it\\\'s worth addressing that this is pretty much the \\\'\\\'first\\\'\\\' attempt for Shadow Striker: there hasn\\\'t been a version of \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\' Shadow Striker from a non-gimmick line. That could be disqualifying and merits discussion. \\\'\\\'\\\'
*** \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\' Windblade is considered just not an improvement over her figures released in \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\', but over every previous incarnation of the character. Be it the original \\\'\\\'Thrilling 30\\\'\\\' figure infamous for its stability issues, the \\\'\\\'RID 2015\\\'\\\' figure which suffered through the standard lower budget limitations of the line, the \\\'\\\'Titans Return\\\'\\\' figure that suffered in looks from having to accomodate being a Headmaster and re-using parts of the Highbrow and Scourge of the same line, and the very simplified and accessory-lacking Warrior Class from \\\'\\\'Cyberverse\\\'\\\' itself. Compared to them, the \\\'\\\'United\\\'\\\' figure posseses better stability, the sacrifices in her proportions aren\\\'t big enough to bother most people as she\\\'s still recognizable, has the standard high articulation of modern figures, has less of a backpack that would hider her movement, and does come with an accessory.
*** \\\'\\\'\\\'I would say any Windblade figure would be closer to a BrokenBase because no one can seem to really agree which is and isn\\\'t better.
