weak sauce
sad, garbage, barely a transformer
heck,
its barely a friggin Happy Meal toy.

Having once owned the entire line of the transforming Transformers: Animated Happy Meal toys, they had more play value than what I see here.

I own them all too, and they are alot more fun. But someone said that they had windup mechanisms, and I will say that they don't. The french ones do, but not the american ones that I have

Even Hot Shot? this youtube review shows hot shot being able to wind up and go:

Armada =/= Animated.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

OK, this is weird: I spotted Cyberverse toys at my local Target, but not in the expected place. Not in the regular TF aisle, but the next one over, with Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdown and Wrestling toys. Photo evidence is incoming, but just a head's up that the new releases may be in a different spot than expected.

:EDIT: Here they are, spotted at Target McKinney, JCT US 75 & US 380:

These are out:

One-Step Changers
Scout Class
Ultra Class
Ultimate Class

The Warrior Class are still MIA. Of note, the Ultimate Class scanned at $29.99, so they are in the system.

You know, the sad thing is: those aren't inherently hideous designs. If anything they remind me a whole lot Animated. The difference being, here, that Animated toys looked good.

Take a time machine and look at the forum posts at the time of Animated and the first Bay movie. I'm pretty sure "EVERYONE" hated the designs. Much drama, "muh geewun".


Cyberverse is not worst looking than animated. At all.... when viewed directly from the front, that is. Give the Cyberverse the quality and engeneering of standard Transformers, and I'm pretty sure most people would LOVE them. But eh, we have to deal with what we have now... by voting with our wallet.

The engineering is certainly worse than Animated and that was the point I'm making: had the figure been actually good I'm sure a lot of people would be all over those Animated-G1 hybrid design if their Deluxes were on par with Generations, at least.

[-Kanrabat-]

Yup. Those designs are actually VERY good. However, it's too bad they are for a line that is dumbed down and cheapen out this much.

Oh wow, I have been reading Armada this whole time.

Please ignore all my previous replies. And Jelze, thanks a bunch would you mind sending an e-mail to the news team with a link to your post so that someone can get to it?

While the other size classes from the Transformers: Cyberverse toyline have been seen out and about at retail before, there's not been any sightings of Ultra or Ultimate class figures from the line... until now! Fellow Seibertronian JelZe GoldRabbit has found a multitude of Cyberverse toys, among them the very Ultras and Ultimates we were waiting for.

Ultra Class Bumblebee, Grimlock and Starscream, and Ultimate Class Megatron and Optimus Prime, were all sighted at a Target in McKinney, TX. JelZe reports the Ultimate Class toys scanning at $29.99 US.

Corroborating this sighting, we also have a second one from user Cdavid3, who found Ultimate Megatron and Optimus at a Target in San Jose, CA.

Check out the images below, and if you find these figures be sure to post in the Energon Pub Forums and the Sightings Section to let other fans know. And as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and sightings!

[WreckerJack]

I wanna see reviews of these. If the play features work well this will be great for kids. (and adults like me who like functional things to shoot missiles at things in my room)

Transformers Cyberverse toys are already appearing around the world, and after San Diego Comic Con 2018, the official Hasbro channel has dropped the first promotional video for the toyline - at the whopping length of 15 seconds - featuring the Action Attacker toys for Bumblebee and Grimlock (in the clip itself) and Megatron, Starscream, and Optimus Prime shown at the very end of the clip.

The tagline? Get More Whoa. Keeping in mind the younger audience of both the animated series due this fall, and the target of the toys themselves, you can imagine this may still be an exaggeration. Still, check out the clip below, and let us know what you think of the toys if you have one in hand already!

[Madeus Prime]

I'll have what he's having.

[RiddlerJ]

Okay, So I've sampled Cyberverse Shocky and maybe my standards have just been lowered over the years, but I don't hate him.

His Alt Mode is a cop-out but there is SOME transformation with the front limbs rotating and I like that his alt mode has its own cannon as opposed to Shockwave just using the same gun in both modes, something I always hate (What's the point in transforming if he has the same junk in both modes). Some people have tossed out Beast Wars' penchant for the limbs-as-limbs tactic so I'm kinda used to it by now.

The robot mode is stylized but not too bad. Like other people have said, I'm not to keen on the angry eye. On the plus side, I do like the backpack gimmick and he does have a decent range of poseabilty except for the head which really bugs me just because it's so inexplicable. As much as I think Cyber Series Shockwave looks better, the lack of articulation is annoying.

I should mention that I almost picked up Starscream too, but the lack of knees killed it for me. Shockwave is the only figure in the line that I found an interest in.

Thanks to our ole review pal chuckdawg1999, we have a new review for you to check out today: Cyberverse Ultimate Class Optimus Prime. This is the first review we have gotten for the ultimate class figures, and this larger class sort of has a tough crowd, considering the overall low reviews and opinions of the Cyberverse toyline so far, save Shockwave.

But Ultimate Optimus Prime here actually appears to be quite a decent figure, at least according to Chuck. The figure itself has pretty good posability and a pretty neat gimmick that works in both modes, along with a decent Transformation as well, and, as Chuck says, he feels pretty sturdy too.

Check out Chuck's thoughts below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

With the Ultimate Class from the Cyberverse line, we get a great Neo-G1 Optimus Prime. Transformation is simple but features a nice throwback nod to G1 Optimus Prime, that results in a cool, futuristic truck mode. The gimmick is fun and nonobtrusive unless you have large hands like me. Overall Ultimate Class Optimus Prime is a great figure you can have a lot of fun with.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

I gotta say, I like it.

[WreckerJack]

To sum up the Cyberverse advert in one image.



But on a serious note the toys look really fun. From what I can see from Chuck's vid this line is going to be interesting!

[whacko]

What is "ultimate" about this figure?

It looks like a poorly articulated, oddly molded, cheap bit of garbage.

THANKS! I don't hate it either, neither the robot or the alt mode and from the responses I was getting, I was starting to think I was nuts.

Its size.

I actually picked this guy up today after finding a distinct lack of Lockdown and Ant-Man on the shelves (just saw Ant-Man and the Wasp, loved it!) and since this guy is the only one in the line that interests me at all I figured I'd give him a shot. He's alright, nothing amazing but fun. He's got basic articulation, his shoulders can move back a bit (nice surprise) and while he has no ankle tilts he's got big feet so he stands up well. Only big complaint I have is that his gimmick will NOT STOP ACTIVATING ITSELF. It's on a hair trigger and it's incredibly annoying, and a few panels stay in place only using gravity, but it's not the worst thing I've ever seen. I might paint him a bit, I don't really like the black tossed onto his hands and waist, looks bad to me. I'm also considering gluing his gimmick shut so I never have to deal with it again. That said, he's still fun and generally will look good on a shelf.
