Starscream has a toy in every size class or close to it, so that'd be my guess for one of them. Hoping the other would be someone like Shadow Striker, that'd be really cool.ZeroWolf wrote:Thanks Sabrblade! So that means two Deluxes left to learn the identity of

I know Warden said that (I reported it), but he is not in charge of that line. Maccadam has 10 pieces total. Now if that means some will come with 2, who knows, but he might have been mistaken. Then again, he presented the first wave with 4 deluxes in hand so it might be 8 too. Just to say I am not entirely sure.

Wait. Does that mean there will be PROPER DELUXES coming soon? I mean, Generations-like?
Yes, we already knew about that from NYCC.

And if you browse through seibertron nycc 2019 cyberverse gallery, you will find the first 4 (5 if you count maccadams) on display, closer details.

But now I can just buy an extra of this guy(s) and give one more G1 heads and arms!
Still say they should bring back Star Wars Crossovers and have them turn into a green Bespin cloud car though, since they were originally separate minijets according to The Facts, or something.
Though this design would also be good to redeco into Sticks'n'Stones for a Rock Lords crossover! Because NO ONE demanded it!

If Toaster doesn't turn out to be some sort of pyromaniac, I'll be very disappointed.

There's also his sister Karmen, who turns into a set of heated hair curlers.Archforce wrote:Deadput wrote:william-james88 wrote:

Firstly, these are images of the Whirl and Bludgeon Cyberverse toys that we saw in a Takara supplier catalogue. We did not know what scale/class they were but now we do. Unlike what was thought by many, Whirl is a one step. As is Bludgeon, though that was already assumed. Bludgeon does have a sword accessory which can be placed in his hand. These were found in Malaysia, at Toysrus, in different packaging than previous one steps, along with a repackaged Bumblebee and Wheeljack. This new packaging is for not one but 2 sublines, one called Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures and another called Cyberverse Battle for Cybertron. It is unsure if this is just location dependent packaging changed, which we did see before. Of course, slight rebrands like this are always seen in the second year of cartoon based toylines to give indication to both the store and the parents buying the toys that these are the latest ones.

But why would we get it over a year in advance?

I've owned this jetfire (and drift) for the better part of 2 months now. this website isnt doing anybody any service by posting these sightings so late in the game. pick up the pace a little bit. this website seems to be more geared towards selling ad space and marked up toys. thanks, I guess...

Enough, if anyone has issues with the news, feel free to use the 'contact us' form.
Since you do have this toy, talk about it instead or provide something useful to the discussion.

Agreed. They could've released this as a Deluxe and I still would've bought it.

How do you find Gnaw, is he any good? He intrigues me. Is Drift in the same wave as this Jetfire?

I saw plenty of Drifts with Jetfire at Walmart a few nights ago, so they probably are in the same wave.william-james88 wrote:ScottyP wrote:Pleased to say that Jetfire's the best Warrior in the line, or at least the best since Shockwave.

Not sure with Sky-Byte too much clashing yellow.
In my honest opinion, you’re gunna want Shockwave if you can find him. The armor isn’t obtrusive, and aside from head articulation, nothing was sacrificed. Honestly I feel it to be better than the Warrior class one (but both are about to get outclassed by the new Deluxe one).

even if hot pink/purple spider tank shockwave was great enough...he's not available. It's mostly wave 1 warriors and wave 1 elites (big ones)

Skybyte is the best of those simply because of the transformation. The others are rather laclluster, especiallly jetfire.

I would highly recommend Sky Byte and Ratchet. Those 2 are really good, and Sky Byte makes an awesome shark, and the drill tank is cool

That store has a lowered christmas gift price on the ultra class figures meaning they are cheaper than the smaller figures in the rival store. Sadly Sky-Bite was sold out or not in stock.
So either its either Spark Armor Jetwing Prime or Ocean Storm Bumblebee. (Not going for shopping online, i hate long shipping times in Europe) Not going after Megs so many design so flaws.
Which one
- Optimus has a big hip skirt in robot mode and the gatling guns are rather hollow.
Bumblebee robot has arm kibble.
Both armors have restricted movement
as for Megatron, his mace is a eysore in helicopter mode and his tank form is just ugly.

The smaller ones (skybyte, ratchet and shockwave) are still better toys though even though you may think you are getting less for your money.

he's kinda iffy with the obvious blue spot head in truck mode and his feet end up really fat. Does anyone know which one has a better full range similar to this type of movement?
Posted by Rogue-Primal on November 16th, 2019 @ 8:44am CST
And the elbows on Ocean Storm elbows are more tight than i thought. But good grief positioning Bees hips and legs to be aligned evenly for standing straight instead of leening to the side is just so!!! But i know he needs that stiffness beacause of the armor weight.
Still very very good toy and better than my Warrior Class Sting Shot Bumblebee. (Gosh that one and his shoulder kibble is messy from the rear side.)
Overall 7 out of 10. Good paint applications on the ship and fun armor. Bumblebee kinda has a impression of being shocked that someone stabbed.
This upgrade is undoubtedly a good but expensive purchase in the my Cyberverse collection compared to Warrior Sting Shot Bee
