i bought a few cybertron toys, i thought they were ok but then grew to dislike the ones i had for some reason, or at the least i sold them to make room for toys i liked more. mudflap was one i didnt get but hes probably my favourite in hindsight (can those arm weapons be removed?) i never likes his over long chaplin feet though!

the firts one i got was red alert as he had a lot of g1 blockiness but he ended up a mould i just couldnt stand, funny how that happens. as of now i have no cybertron toys.

Sadly, by the time I grew out of G1-only and started appreciating the newer stuff, Cybertron was off the shelves :\

Ah well, hopefully another homage-filled plentiful bounty of a series will come out int he next couple years.

why do people dis armada it was the best out of any series for me, but thats just me. while on subject transformers cybertron relistic modes .nope!. no way at all. crosswise he aint real. what crazy car company would think of that the germans (bugatti (veyron) hot shot and his swat tank, they could use them in kent with the riot patrol. red alert now he is real im dying to get him aswell. but cybertron dosnt have a big robot that can turn into a ship, it dosnt have a giant 4x4 ambulance with a little black crane and it dosnt have a white and red jet with a small f1 minicon dont they? anyone get what i mean? and prime then did have a better powerlink(x)

Well, I don't know about "homage-filled", but there are some nicely updated G1 figures coming out in Transformers: Universe this year such as Sunstreaker, Silverbolt, Octane (Tankor), Powerglide, and Onslaught. :wink:

Love the focus on the 5 figures there CP, Mudflap is overlooked far too often.

But no mention of Shortround's toilet mode? I am disappointed!

Still, Backstop and Thundercracker deserve far more love than they are given, and Snarl is always overlooked as well.

UltraPrimal wrote:For example, I consider GF Prime to the closest thing to a Guiltor release we'll probably ever see. Even though he's not red, blue, and grey, the black and red color scheme is quite menasing. And seperates him from simply being another Nemesis Prime. And I like to think of the planet symbols on his shoulders as planets he's destroyed. Like how fighter pilots put a mark on their jet for every enemy they've killed. Then there's the alt mode. Similar, though he has 2 cannons instead of 1. He's even got a jet mode, so there's a little bit of Starsceams influence there.


Yes! Completely agree, even though I don't have the mold, it is pretty close judging from pics. Now if it had been released as a Decepticon, there would be even more closeness.

As for Cybertron itself, didn't pick too much of it up. No job at the time(I now finally have one), and other things seemed to take priority then. Still, most of what I did pick up I enjoyed, and was fortuneate to find good old Primus on clearance. The one figure I didn't like was Thundercracker. Oh, it wasn't the loose arms or anything, it was the fact that it broke unrepairably at the shoulders after about two weeks with minimal and pretty careful handling. I'm still bummed at that....

But if there are two figures I'm so glad I picked up(once again, clearance....I'm cheap), it's Jungle Planet Optimus Primal and Megatron. First of all, I love both molds, and I love the detail on them. I also love the neat new colors chemes on them, they aren't "show accurate"(I know they released ones that were), but they look great all the same. I also like the smaller deluxe size.

I have to say that the Cybertron line is a fantastic line, and gave us some excellent toys. Mudflap is a cool figure, I was lucky to find him on clearance for $10 at my local Walmart, and I think his robot mode is great. I like the Cybertron Defense team, and we were able to get two(well...four) of the coolest transformers ever made, Leader Galvatron with Nemesis Breaker in Dark Claw mode, and Optimus Prime and Wingsaber in Sonic Wing mode. Sonic Wing OP/Wingsaber is, in my opinion, the coolest looking and best transformer ever made(except maybe MP Starscream). OP with swords, a big gold chestplate with the raised Autobot symbol, big guns over his shoulders, and Wingsaber as a backpack to fold up and do more damage? Solid. This line really shined in the deluxe class figures, with Downshift, Excellion, Hot Shot, and Landmine being some of the best. Ransack is a very good 'bot, but the Japanese TRU Police Gasket repaint is even better than the GTS repaint.

btw MB, just noticed the sig quote, Tek will be honoured



Funniest thing I'd read all day :P


Distribution was much improved for this line, even over here in GB.
While Armada was relatively easy to find (due to its low numbers of character figures; stores often became full of figures that everbody already had), and Energon was rather difficult, Cybertron seemed to have a very even spread. Nearly all of the figures were available at any good toy store, and had at least 2,3 or 4 of each figure on the shelves.



I miss the days of Cybertron. That was the time when transformers inhabited two isles at TRU. Now they just inhabit half of one.
We do still get the cheesy tf music playing in the isle though, I suppose :P



dude, go to tru now, they aint had it on in ages lol

Gotta agree, Cybertron was a great line!

I was just getting back into TFs around then with the Alts.

I had been collecting Marvel Legends for some time, so I was aware of the TF stuff that was available, but I had not been watching the shows so I was able to keep my wallet from that particular vacuum :D

Well, once the Classics hit, I ended up going back and getting quite a bit of the Cybertron line to "flesh out" the ranks of my Classics, and I'm glad I did!

Cyb Prime stands proudly behind my Classics prime as "Classics" Star Convoy.

But the Cybertron Defense force holds a pretty special place too, heading up my war bots.

There's just so much great stuff, that no matter what or how you collect TFs there is something to enjoy in the Cybertron line.
For Sale:
Classics Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack MIB

I totally agree. Cybertron was the best of the Unicron trilogy.

Cybertron was by far the best line of the trilogy. I am proud to say I have every figure including a few store exclusives. The episode that featured the death of Vector Prime was everything that "Code of Hero" wasn't. Sure the figures had a few issues here and there, but tell me you didn't run to your computer and enter the cyber key code when you bought a new figure.
