The Cyberverse Transformers line is having a soft reset with a name change so that retailers can know what product is new and should go on the shelves. A lot of this line is made up of figures we have already seen though. Unlike what some fans think, none of these toys are figures from old packages remove and placed in new packaging since Hasbro does not take back toys from retailers (retailers instead sell their unsold stock to market six stores). These are all newly made figures to ensure that the popular characters are on the shelves when the Cyberverse Netflix movies come out later this year. You will see repacks in all lines such as the scout, deluxe and one step line. Of the new characters, we have ultra class Sludge and warrior class Dead End. Dead End is rather interesting since he is the first warrior class figure to have a weapon that is detached from himself. The repackaged deluxes show the new packaging initiatives done by Hasbro to reduce plastic and they give us some pretty kick ass art. Oddly enough, they still come with the Macadam BAF piece. There are also the Dinobot combining figures and you can see the three that we know of so far including the newly found Grimlock/Wheeljack combiner.
These figures were all found on the Brandora website.

Good. Another chance to get Deluxe Soundwave.

You know what, while that toy has it's flaws, it is very very fun to mess with and transform. Really, the only flaw is that backpack in robot mode that ruins his silouette.

Bumbleswoop and Slugtron are great names, but Wheelgrim? I woulda named him Grimjack...or Wheelock. Yeah, Wheelock...and he comes with a boot accessory to lock up other car transformers!

Yeah, it's terrible name. With options like Grimjack and Lockjack they went with Wheelgrim? Not crazy about that one.
Also what did they do to Wheeljack's face!? They shaved the guy, the beard was his best feature! Also not crazy about Grimlock being so gold, I doubt he'll look like that on the cartoon.

I got Deluxe Prowl and I was very impressed. So much so that I had to compared it to the normal Earthrise version. No, I didn't order that Amazon 2 pack so we will have to settle with ER Barricade.
Cyberverse Prowl is superbly painted. Plus the overall shape of the car is better, more "real cop car."
In robot mode, Cyberverse get points for having the shoulder canons integrated to the bot. Plus he's very satisfying to transform.
From the side, both look thin and manage their backpack well.
From the back, it's a big "oof" for the ER because of the hollow legs. You'd expect this on a Cyberverse, not a Generations. Plus, Prowl's legs are covered with extra panels! But the Cyber have a questionable fault. Why the hollow forearms? Cyber also have the hollow inner thighs.
Overall, I think Deluxe Prowl is the superior toy. More fun to transform, look better at all times, and feel SOLID in hand. Also, spark effects!

How does Deluxe Prowl compare to Warrior Prowl? Many were calling the Warrior a great toy long before the Deluxe came out.

As I've said before, I've never touched the Cyberverse toyline, and while I was mildly interested in the Deluxes and Maccadam, I eventually never got any of them. That being said, I do still like a lot of these figures, I'm mostly talking about the Deluxes and Sludge, so I may get a couple if I see them at retail or if any come up on tge Smyths website. I'm guessing I've missed the boat on building Maccadam though?

Most of the figures needed for Maccadam can be found on Hasbro's eBay page, plus it looks like the repacks of the earlier waves come with the BAF parts.

Those things shelfwarm where you are? I can't recall the last time I've actually seen Cyberverse figures in a store. Last time I went to Target, all that was left was one SS RotF Soundwave, one Tiny Turbo Changer, and so many of that damn Bumblebee/Spike thing that not only was its peg full, but it had taken over another peg and filled THAT up too.
Honestly, all I wanted from Dead End was for him to have that really cool gun that he had on the show, and it looks like he does. That he seems to be decently poseable for a Cyberverse figure is just icing on the cake. I might be interested in picking him up if I can find him.

First off, Dead End looks great. I am super excited to have a proper transforming toy of that specific version! Dead End to me was the breakout old character reimagined of Cyberverse.
Sludge is still looking great, I am excited for him.
There are now 4 crash combiners if you include the Primelock and Bumblegrim in Buzzworthy Bumblebee, and I look forward to more. I actually enjoyed the gimmick

We have a gorgeous reveal for you today with Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Cheetor. While there can always be more paint, the sculpt matches the screen model with great precision. He even has the detail of his beast tail being wrapped around his waist in robot mode. These images, posted on Walmart's website, show that he comes with armour that brings many homages together. The blades are an homage to the Beast Machines Night Slash Cheetor toy, the beast battle mask are an homage to G1 Catilla (both in terms of the inner bot aesthetic and the feature of placing a battle mask on the beast shell) and for a stretch, the shoulder claws in beast mode are reminiscent of the Prime Thundertron design, whos Alpha Trizer repaint was also Cheetor.
So lots of fun wrapped in a nice little windowless package. You'll let us know what you think.

*Hums the Beast Wars theme* Cool, another Cheetor, but this one may be a little...down-market for my collection. Though it is nice to see Cyberverse widen the quality gap between itself and the Autentics line.

It does look more fun than the Kingdom version. I am actually working on a top 5 cheetor list (will wait for this guy to come out first though) and I am actually finding out that there are a lot better cheetors out there than the kingdom one. I am actually wondering right now which is better, Kingdom Cheetor or the OG 96 one. Not sure.

Cheetor looks pretty good, and I like the subtle Thundertron/Alpha Trizer homage with the placement of the claws on his shoulders, but I don't like that green sabertooth tiger helmet, it looks a bit doofy.
I've bought Deluxe Bumblebee and Hot Rod from Ebay, they'll be arriving next month, and they'll be my first Cyberverse toys. For those who own these two, what am I in for?

EEEESH, you're gonna see the two ends of the spectrum. Bumblebee is, with no exageration, one of the best Deluxe Bee figures we have ever gotten.
Hot Rod is utter trash though. Someone fucked up with that figure, the poseability is really neutered due to lots of stuff getting in the way. It's the worst deluxe in that line.

Thanks to an Amazon sale, I finally have Iaconus and Meteorfire.
Both bots are glorious and powerful robots, with a very retro look. I love it!
As for the vehicle, Meteorfire is very 1980's in his design and it's awesome! As for Iaconus, he turn into... a submisive bot? A something? He turn into a WHY-NOT!

Iaconus is supposed to be a Fort Max or Grandus Style stsrship, where being in space requires no aerodynamics, but the hand thrusters and the side ailerons are about the ony indication of which way is forward. They should have at least allowed thr legs to fold all the way over and maybe done some kind of molding on the calf to help it

20$can at Amazon for a short while. Now it's back to the usual 40$can. For 20$can, I couldn't say no for this silly thing. At that price I have my money's worth for some mindless fun, but I wouldn't have paid a single dollar more.
Meteorfire is damn awesome by the way. 20$can would have been the ideal price, but 22$can is better than nothing. I always kinda wanted it so my instincts said it was now or never.

I've thought of Iaconus' alt mode as being backwards. It doesn't make sense for the rockets to be in the front, I look at the blue knees and think of them as windows.
Now Cheetor, that's one I'm getting for sure. I love those almost Beast Machines armor parts I passed on the previous Cheetor because I didn't like the armor, but I have been watching prices on eBay so hopefully when this one comes out the prices will drop there. I want both of them for my growing Cheetor collection, I just don't care about the battleship.
To me the armored head shares a lot more with the Titanium figure thanks to all that green on top and sides of the head.

Man I love that little hotrod. He’s one of my go to bots to idly transform. Sure he isn’t anywhere close to the best version of the character but when it comes to transforming and vrooming around (in a totally grownup fashion) he’s a winner in my book.

If you go for a Thunderhowl, got for the Ultra. Way superior to the deluxe, IMO.

Nope. Blocked.
VPN users won't have a problem though.

Cyberverse toys don't get big reveals from Hasbro since they aren't made with older fans in mind, and those are the people paying attention to reveal videos. So to make up for that, we make sure to give all the info on new Cyberverse toys found at retail or in new listings so that those who care about any Transformers toy can be kept up to date. And it's always odd to see a decry from fans whenever we post about Cyberverse toys. There's already two lines made with fans in mind, so why can't there be a full on acceptance that some toys are made just for kids? It's them who watch the Cyberverse show afterall, and having a toyline for kids based on the current kids show is the backbone of our wonderful hobby, it welcomes a new generation. A cute example of this is this video below of a 3 year old showing off some of his Cyberverse toys and having fun with them (why not turn Starscream into a boat?). If anyone needed a reminder, this is who these toys are made for.
We are lucky to live in a time when there are Transformers toys available for all Transformers fans, no matter how old we are.

Wouldn't count it as news but I [i]do[i] get the idea of Cyberverse being a line for kids. It's just a shame they feel less impressive than the other stuff meant for kids back then like the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, or the Fast Action Battlers of the first two movies.

I think we should leave that for the kids to decide.

Mine did. They went straight from Rescue Bots to Generations because they think Cyberverse toys are junk.

Was expecting a lot more 35 year old + salt but okay.
I for one love the Cyberverse show as a 36 year old. It felt more G1 than a lot of shows from recent memory. I enjoyed it soo much more than Earthrise and Siege and that was made for me.
I also like the Cyberverse toys enough to collect most of the line. I'm probably one of the small group of adult collectors who likes non-complex transformations. That's why I do have a lot of movie bots but am not enjoying them like Combiner Wars and up.
Can't wait for one of my kids to be old enough to notice and enjoy Transformers!

As far as I remember, there was always just 1 line of transformers out at a time. Then universe/classics happened. Since then no adult collector should have the gall to complain about a toyline that wasn't thinking of the collectors.
Yeah, I can look at the Cyberverse line, judge it next to the other lines and give them a hard pass. They need to be simple for kids to work out/remember, have little-no accessories so there's less to lose/swallow and need to be the right ratio of being as durable as possible while being lightweight. I swear my '96 Optimus Primal could make short work of windows.
Right now we have Kingdom, generation selects, 2 separate studio series lines, masterpiece, R.E.D, and I'm probably missing some. Maybe we shouldn't be too upset at a toyline that features toys.

Stuff like this reminds me why I get back into franchises like the Transformers. 
Mind you that any kids I do have will not be introduced to Kiss Players. But I also expect them to not be a Rewind like I tend to be. Because it is more fun thinking about them having Optimus Primal be the protector of a Lego city. Or even have Black Zarak's deluxe Headmaster form go against Monkey D. Luffy since both look like pirates (and not because both have X-shaped scars on their chests).
Man... Now I also hope that Transformers (or something like it) will be around in the future.
