New Stock Images for Wave 1 Ultra and Ultimate Class Figures from Transformers Cyberverse 2018

Gotta admit, that Megatron look pretty boss. I'd be tempted.

The Bumblebee looks like crap, the others look cool though

I gotta admit, these figures are slowly growing on me. Except that Ultra class Bumblebee. He still looks like dookie.

These look like some of the best Transformers made in years.

I just can't get behind some of these recent series. They seem way too similar to the RID figures, which I haven't been overly excited for. There's just a kiddie like quality that I don't generally enjoy with these newer lines. I realize of course that this is a toy line for children, but this one seems too gimmick heavy as well, I've seen too many times when a good figure is ruined for the sake of a gimmick. I hope Hasbro keeps going with two lines, as I've come to view the white boxed figs, (RID, etc.) as the more youth oriented lines, and the black carded boxes as more appealing to collectors.

That was the whole intention

The Warriors Class does make a return for this line, with a springloaded gimmick in each figure I believe.

Optimus prime is the best one to me, and I might even get him! (Probably not though). Bumblebee still looks TERRIBLE! I hope we can get a RID warrior or Generations deluxe quality Bumblebee, because I like his design in the art we have of him.

Here's the Warrior Class figure:

I like the character art! It has a very Animated style to it. And hey, Grimlock has a mouth in his art not on his toy.

Megatron is kinda a butterface. I will say that Prime looks nice though. The others look like fun toys for kids. Not really my style but play features are nice to see.

I hope you know that by skipping the robots in the disguise warrior class, you missed out on more complex transformations than any deluxe from the combiner wars or power of the primes line.

The art for Grimlock's head looks more like Starscream's head than the art for Starscream's head.

I really like the character design for this line. Prime especially has a great design.

If I were somewhere between 8 and 12, I'd be psyched for these.

Here's the Warrior Class figure:

Still not the quality of a generations or RID deluxe/warrior. and it looks barely anything like his artwork on the packaging and promos.

Its not (referring to the quality). But its not intended to be. When RID came out, Hasbro stated that the warrior class should satisfy those looking for more traditional transforming toys. And they werent wrong. But there was not such mention this time. This line (and the bumblebee movie line) will not be marketed to collectors. Instead more collector oriented stuff will be relegated to other lines and be part of those.

I know, I was just mentioning that I want a better toy of him because I like his design. I know these toys are for a younger audience.

Some weren't bad, but I just wasn't impressed with the build of most of them. My daughter got a few of the warrior class, but too many gimmicky features. The mini cons were pointless and the launcher figs like Drift had needless parts added or removed to accommodate the mini cons. There was also the huge white stickers on each figure for the mobile app. I just like the generations line better and feel like that's where they have the collectors more in mind.

Going to pass on the bigger figures. I can forgive not having knees since I just need my figures to stand on the shelf anyway. But no elbows on $30 figures the size of a Leader? Not happening. Grimlock looks like he has elbows so I might get him, but otherwise I'll be selective with the Warrior class and hope something better comes later.

all i want to see is the cartoon

I know I'm alone in this, but I'm kind of excited to see the return of individualized action-feature gimmicks. Last time we had those was Thrilling 30, and even then it was a bit sporadic. Usually if there's a gimmick these days, it's applied to the entire figure class, or even the entire toyline, and it's been that way since at least DotM. And some of the gimmicks in lines like Beast Wars and Animated actually did make the figures more fun for me.

Nah, I like play features. Especially things that launch (until I lose them and get mad, but then again it's my own fault).

As long that the gimmick is not spring loaded missiles that shoot off if you just breathes at them, I'm good.

I'm partial to motion gimmicks, personally, especially things that spin. Though "hidden weapon" gimmicks that flip out are also fun.

Spring-loaded missiles have been done a million times and can get annoying, so I hope they don't do those unless they give us something past a basic launcher (like rapid-fire, or the transforming beast projectiles from Polar Claw and BW Scorponok, that sort of thing.)

From what I can tell, Grimlock's gimmick is that he not only breathes fire, but is also on fire...



...So I think I know what's gonna be first on my shopping list.

This just keeps getting better.

Got these from NTF-archive facebook page.









unless they mistransform it (which is likely), then it seems megs has no elbow.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian bacem and some further looking into the sources, we have some new info and images for the Transformers Cyberverse line's figures of Ultimate size class Optimus Prime and Megatron, listed on UK wholesale website NDA-toys as Peterman and Newman! You can check it all out below, and join the mourning for Megatron's elbow loss in the Energon Pub!

TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE ULTIMATE NEWMAN

'Picture this: me, on Earth, still cooler than everyone this side of Optimus Prime, but I've got zero memories. Now I'm on a mission to recover my memories and discover all of my awesome powers. I'll have to battle Decepticons, outrun an explosion or two, and be heroic- basically, I'm in for one epic ride across the Cyberverse.' -Bumblebee

Megatron unleashes his ultimate attack against the Autobots: the Fusion Mega Shot! Convert and attack with Transformers Cyberverse Action Attackers! Change figure from vehicle to robot mode in 8 steps. The last step of conversion automatically activates Megatron figure's signature Fusion Mega Shot Action Attack move! Attack move activates and can be repeated in both vehicle and robot mode

TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE ULTIMATE PETERMAN

'Picture this: me, on Earth, still cooler than everyone this side of Optimus Prime, but I've got zero memories. Now I'm on a mission to recover my memories and discover all of my awesome powers. I'll have to battle Decepticons, outrun an explosion or two, and be heroic- basically, I'm in for one epic ride across the Cyberverse.' -Bumblebee

Noble leader of the heroic Autobots, Optimus Prime defeats Decepticons with the power of the legendary Matrix of Leadership! Convert and attack with Transformers Cyberverse Action Attackers! Change figure from vehicle to robot mode in 11 steps. The last step of conversion automatically activates Optimus Prime figure's signature Matrix Mega Shot Action Attack move! Repeatable attack move activates in both vehicle and robot mode!

I almost wish these didn't have such cool base designs because they're wasted on toys like that. I mean, sure there's the odd outliar (Shockwave actually looks cool) but for the most part these things look traaaaaaash with a capital Danny Devito.

I'm really mixed on the Cyberverse design: on one hand they have a sleek, cartoony style to them which remind me of Animated put through a Generation 1 filter which looks nice enough. Unfortunately it seems all the designs are marred by their simplistic, gimmick-ridden toys. I'm sure a good, well-articulate deluxe or voyager with these designs would make for a damn good toy.

These still look really good. I think this line will save me from dismissing 2018 as an off year for Transformers.

It's possible that some of these 'evergreen' designs, which I believe are also the new IDW designs, could see life in the Generations line after POTP is done.

They should have named Optimus "Jerry".



Anyway, this line is looking mostly skippable.

The idea for OP's gimmick is a neat one. Don't think we've had a Matrix toy in the US with this much open destructiveness in it.

Skritz wrote:Animated put through a Generation 1 filter

So, basically Animated?

That Prime is obscuring his hands with truck kibble. I hate that. The head sculpts are terrible too especially Megatron's goofy face. The figures themselves are.. ok? They don't look great to me at all but at least a bit more detailed than usual simplified TF toys I suppose.

Still dig that Megatron. However, that Optimus look like ass in both modes.

another show better than toys i presume

Is hard to English.

In what is not a reveal of anything upcoming, but could easily work in a new War for Cybertron line, at least in potential (but I'll repeat, it is not), or an early version of what we received in the Cyberverse toyline, the official Hasbro Transformers and Pulse social media accounts have posted an image of a conceptual design of a new Megatron figure in robot mode, working out its pretend engineering, or 'pretengineering', to understand which parts of the figure/character are moveable, its structure, functions, movements, and shifts - as they the say, the 'dynamic functionality of the robot'.

Take a look at the image below, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub! Again, this is not an upcoming Megatron figure - but would you like to see something like it in any of the current (if this is not the Cyberverse figure) or future lines?

MEGATRON PRETENGINEERING. Pretengineering is pretend engineering created to explain the dynamic functionality of each Transformers robot.

Now this is the kind of thing I like seeing, and a nice design of megs to boot.

Oh, no most definitely "not a real toy" .
Wait yes it is .
I (with a little help from Hasbro) give you....
Transformers Cyberverse ultimate class Megatron!

Pretengineering should be the term used for figuring out how to bring full-sized, full-featured Pretenders into Generations.

I'd support that.

Gets my vote as well

i almost thought it was the engineering behind pretenders

As if Hasbro would ever bring back Pretenders as normal-sized figures! You guys are all dreaming!

...and then watch this post be proven horribly wrong down the line.

Not really part of the upcoming toyline for the animated show Transformers: Cyberverse, we do however have some information on the McDonald's Russia promotion of the superdeformed figures that will accompany their menu during the May-June period!

The various figures showing up include the generally known players in the Transformers stable, with the new show's designs (using the Evergreen concepts) Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Windblade, Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave, and Grimlock. You can check them all out below, with some machine translation of the features, and the promotional clip uploaded to YouTube!






Bumblebee with rocket launcher: Autobot-scout loyal to Optimus Prime. Insert the projectile into the rocket launcher, press the red button and hit any target!


Windblade with rotating turbines: Autobot warrior. Click on the red button on the back of Windblade and start rotating turbines that allow her to fly.


Walking Megatron: Leader of Decepticons. Wind-up the mechanism built into the Megatron helmet and attack any opponent.


Grimlock with burning fire: Dinobot-Autobot is a friend of Bumblebee. Click on the red button in the shape of the Autobot logo and activate the fire flame of Grimlock.


Optimus Prime with a sword: Leader of the Autobots. Attack enemies by clicking on the blue button on the back of Optimus.


Bumblebee Racer: Autobot scout. In his mode, Bumblebee transforms into a racing car. Pull back the car and let go.


Starscream fighting aircraft: Decepticon faithful to Megatron. Click on the launch button and you will see Starscream attacking the enemies.


Shockwave with rockets: Decepticon scientist and subordinate of Megatron. When the missile system is guided to the enemy, the flight mode is activated.

'Starscream. Faithful to Megatron'? Sure...
