Plus we have new images of the upcoming simpler battle Call figures for Megatron and Starscream that my young kids are really looking forward to. That Megatron has a nice Galvatron homage in his energon fuelled mode. Those images are from Dorksidetoys.

Arcee looks pretty nice, still heavy as heck backpack, but she looks pretty good

Not really. I have a good animated arcee, a good generations arcee, a good headmaster arcee and now I'll have a good cyberverse arcee. So no need for whatever Earthrise is offering. Some fans wanted the ultimate cartoon model come to toy form and they'll get it with all the sacrifices that entails. And for those who preffer more the idea of a transforming toy, well there's a ton more options including this one.
Also, here is a comparison of the 3 arcee toys coming out this year.
Think of turning this into an article all of it's own.

Well, guess she'll be coming home!

Speaking of the ultimate class, Takara posted some fun pictures of the upcoming Cyberverse deluxe Arcee riding the previously mentioned ultimate class Grimlock. There's a still from the show for you to compare. We also see her putting on deluxe Grimlock's crown.
Lastly, but certainly not least, the latest episode of Cyberverse is available on youtube. You can watch it below and feel free to join our discussion on this animated series here.

That's actually the Ultra class Grimlock in that picture, not the Ultimate.

Now I want a picture of Arcee riding the actual Ultimate Grimlock. Will be much better scale-wise. I think.

Iaconus is looking good so far!
I hope they repaint/mold him into the other Titan, there were only 2 right? I saw each episode and absolutely love Cyberverse. It's my second favorite TF series, G1 being nr 1 of course.
I really hope they also make Chromia and just repaint Arcee a few times. Give us a Warrior Ratchet, maybe a Warrior Skywarp with the square remolded head so I can get more of those.
Still need to get Repugnes, these guys were so cute, same as for Sharkticons.
I hope Hasbro/Takara give Cyberverse more toy attention in the future. Earthrise is pure win so I'm not complaining.

Here are the breakdowns for these 2 upcoming waves:
Wave 8
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR SHOCKWAVE
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR CYBERTRONIAN BUMBLEBEE
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR HAMMERBYTE
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR "new" OPTIMUS PRIME
Wave 9
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR GNAW
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR CYBERTRONIAN BUMBLEBEE
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR CYBERTRONIAN MEGATRON
TRA CYBERVERSE WARRIOR "new" OPTIMUS PRIME
All toys are packaged equally, nothing is shortpacked even though that term doesn't have the same resonance when it comes to repacks.
We have another brand new toy revealed with NDA toys showing us pictures of Ultra Class Thunderhowl. While his look is similar to the deluxe, there are some big differences such as the red cape and the wolf head being smaller in proprtion to the rest of the body compared to the deluxe. This makes for a much sleeker torso. He has two weapons and the wold head is removable for a different robot mode look. He does have the Energon battle armor gimmick on top of all this, making for lots of play options for kids.
Product info:
TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE ULTRANSFORMERS THUNDERHOWL
The battle for control of Cybertron is on between the heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons on the Cyberverse Adventures animated series! With energon armour, both sides can harness incredible new powers, including the ability to convert energy into cool looking armour that allows them to fight in new ways. This extra layer of super-charged protection will be useful in the battles ahead. See how these new powers will be used to defend Cybertron or threaten it. Thunderhowl draws his Thunder Blade weapon to harness the power of an energon armour power up! Children can collect other Ultra Class figures (each sold separately, subject to availability) to discover more exciting characters from the Transformers Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures series!

Don't know why but I want this toy more than any upcoming earthrise deluxe.

Even though I never watched a single Cyberverse episode, I'm with you on this one. The TF main line need fresh blood. But don't milk it to death like Windblade. We need MANY more new and original characters and Cyberverse is sure a fertile ground!

And especially if they keep Thunderhowl's Cyberverse personality as a chivalrous "Knight of the Primes". He is wonderful!

Make me want to watch the show. I dropped RID, but everyone speak well of Cyberverse.
I don't have cable so I'll just sail the seven seas.

You can pretty much just skip season 1 since it's like a completely different show. Though, Season 1 does have some decent-to-great episodes, it's just that it's beginning is very meh and the gimmick of Bumblebee's radio clips does get old very fast. But once it gets going, it's good and only gets better. Season 2 is pretty solid all around while Season 3 is phenomenal.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And especially if they keep Thunderhowl's Cyberverse personality as a chivalrous "Knight of the Primes".

Wasbt the hammerhead guy from the beast era?

Yeah, cuz he's amazing, and probably because he isn't a character that we've gotten 20 times over the past 10 years

No, Hammerbyte is a brand new character.
I too hope characters from Cyberverse get absorbed into the broader fandom. Iaconus and Croaton definitely need to join the Titan ranks. And Thunderhowl, Hammerbyte, Wild wheel, Meteorfire, Clobber, and Shadow Striker deserve to keep going. And we need Whirl, Rack n' Ruin, Dead End, Astrotrain etc. need to keep these personalities and prominence. This totally was the show that put Dead End on the map (just look at my profile pic!).
I like the looks of Thunderhowl's toy. Both of his toys look great, I think i will get both of them.
Funny how the Ultra's of characters like Clobber, RnR, and Thunderhowl are much better than the rest. Same with Grimlock and what looks like Iaconus in the Ultimate class.
Shame though, I was looking forward to seeing ultra Skullsmasher, but still no reveal for them. Smasher and Iaconus are the only 2 that still need official images

And Rescue Bots Academy is even introducing a third (fourth if you count the Dweller as the third) new Titan: Citadel Secondus (spoiler tags since the episode hasn't aired in the U.S. yet). So now is a mighty fine time for all-new Titans.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Iaconus and Croaton definitely need to join the Titan ranks.

I am so jealous. I can only watch part of S2, and that’s because I cheat and go on Dailymotion. Netflix only has S1 so far. But yeah, amazing time for new Titans! I feel like if Cyberverse got a fourth season, the mystery of the Dweller, I think he’s Vigilem, personally,, would have been a gold mine of a story arc that the writing team would’ve knocked out of the park.

This voyager sized toy is just shy of $20.
The images were originally posted on the TFW2005 boards. You can click here to see some official images of this figure.

He was more blue onscreen, like his stock photography.

I plan to as well. They both look good so far, and I want to support the characters I like, the new characters that I liked, and the fact that it looks to be a good and enjoyable toy.
Hopefully I can fit them onto my Cyberverse shelf. They only have the 1 shelf! And I still gotta get Iaconus, Thunderhowl, Arcee, and Maccadam up there. And maybe Skullsmasher if they actually ends up coming out

As for the armor gimmick, it's pretty silly that this cat is wearing a whole DESTROYER as armor, but it's very cool despite the limited articulation points.
Maybe worth full price, but it's a must if found on sale!
