We have a nice roundup of news for the availability of several Transformers Cyberverse toys in three international markets (which are coincidentally all anglophone).
Firstly, these toys have finally appeared in the US. Fans have reported seeing several classes at Target. The classes found were the one steps ($9.99), warrior class ($14.99) and scout class ($7.99), the later one being made up of toys that do not fully transform.
In Canada, the warrior class has also been found. This class has Shockwave, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Starscream. They were found at Toysrus, priced at $19.99 CAD, the same price point as Generations deluxe figures.
Last but not least, fellow Seibertronian ZeroWolf has informed us that the Ultimate Class can now be preordered in the UK through Amazon. This class consists of Optimus Prime and Megatron and is priced at £29.99, which stays true to the trend of UK prices being the same nominal value as the US MSRP but in pounds. The release date is August 1st.

Anybody get that Jetfire? The simpeler one about voyager sized? I think it's better than the Leader Generations class, it has no fake chest, has decent articulation, simple transformation.
I really hope that one gets the Seekers repaint/remold treatment.
Anyway offtopic.
The Optimus transformation looks great, what I want actually. But voyager sized and not so simple in design. It looks ugly and disproportionate. 16 gbp is expensive for a simplistic small deluxe Transformer.
That thing should be more like 13.
Collectors are getting Transformers War for Cybertron! Not the game, the newest Generations line, which looks awesome so far.

What Shockwave voyager?There is none revealed so far for this line.
EDIT: Reading the rest of your post, I can see the confusion.
There are 2 distinct lines that are not connected. This is cyberverse, for the upcoming show, but the line made up of simlified voyager toys (like Shockwave and Jetfire) is Cyber Battalion, which is part of the Generations line.
You are better to ask your questions about that line in its own different thread: viewtopic.php?t=103590&p=1948216#p1948216

Huh, you know, the scene in the final episode of TF: Prime season 1 where Optimus unleashes the Matrix on Unicron was pretty Guyver-esque, now that you mention it.ZeroWolf wrote:I've just realised what that nagging feeling of familiarity is every time I look at that ultimate class optimus...It reminds me of the Guyver using its megasmasher weapon!

Warrior and Scout Windblade
Ultra Shockwave
Ultra Shadow Striker
Warrior Megatron
Warrior Acid Storm
Scout Slipstream
Scout Optimus Prime
And an Optimus prime trailer playset
The seekers are of course redecos of eachother it seems. The most impressive by far is that ultra shockwave, which seems to have decent articulation and a far more imposing spider tank mode. Let us know what else you pick up from these photos and expect more in the coming days from San Diego Comic Con.

Also, is that a mainline Optimus with a trailer? Well, I'll be. I'm pretty impressed by that alone. Not enough to shell out the cash for it, but impressed nonetheless.

I guess you could count Rescue Bots as a main line. Ironically better than Cyberverse in some aspects.
I have that one and it's quite good. Despite my GREAT TF PURGE to get more G1s from my local geek shop, I just had to keep it.

the only thing that one has on the Cyber battalion is knees
give a sucky figure knees its still sucky! and wheres starscreams knees?
maybe im a bit of an optimist here but there has to be versions of these toys that are like the main normal line and less gimmicky, if not that would be too bad

I'm really starting to think that the only reason the Shockwaves seem to have full articulation is just because they need it to transform into a quadrupedal alt-mode.
Which is really a shame, because when is Acid Storm ever going to be a main/prominent character again? Probably never...

In this toyline/series, presumably, given the bios they've put out and that Acid Storm got a toy before 3/4ths of the Autobots.

Oh thanks bro. That is confusing indeed
I thought they were in the same line and that War for Cybertron is the new Generations line besides this Cyberverse. Man they need to stop recycling titles, what's next, Energon? Cybertron? Animated etc. again?

You were technically correct, WFC is the upcoming Generations line. Cyber Battalion is weird, it just kinda exists as part of Generations concurrently with everything else without ever being explicitly treated as such. I didn't know Cyber Battalion existed until I found some of the figures in a Walgreens while looking for Titans Return exclusives.
Also, next is clearly Transformers: War for Cybertron in Disguise.
Posted by noctorro on July 19th, 2018 @ 1:34am CDT
Not to happy about the fake chests on the Seekers there. Why can't they not do that?
Anyway, a better solid looking Slipstream. So I'm in for the seekers.
They should remold the Cyber Battalion (sorry for crappy spelling) Jetfire to every single seeker ever.
He's perfect for that.
Spider Tank, love it. Everything else is I think a skip for me.

Actually, in 5th e image with prime and his trailer, you can see Windblade kneeling on top of it

Then she (and actually that Shockwave too) shall be mine!

Just remember that the Slipstream you see in those pics cannot fully transform since it is scout class.

That is not the same windblade. The one on the truck is the scout windblade which also cant transform fully.
I still think the warrior has knees though.
ALso, there is no class in this lie that is gimmick free, this is a full on gimmick line like the BB movie line but with action features instead.

SDCC 2018 started yesterday and we have loads of images of the Transformers display. We have made galleries for all the different lines and below you will find links to the Transformers Cyberverse toyline related gallery which includes the new reveals of:
Warrior and Scout Windblade (scout Windblade does not fully transform)
Ultra Shockwave
Ultra Shadow Striker
Warrior Megatron
Warrior Acid Storm (Starscream redeco)
Scout Slipstream (Starscream redeco and does not fully transform)
Scout Optimus Prime (does not fully transform)
And an Optimus prime trailer playset. With these new shots we get our best look yet at this playset. It has two different modes and comes with the standard warrior class Optimus Prime. The figures you see interacting with it in the images is scout Windblade and one step Blurr.
As we can see from the images, the Ultra Shockwave does have two normal arms and the giant cannon can be removed from his back and attached to one of them.
You can click any of the photos below to be taken to the gallery.
And while we are speaking of Cyberverse, a new commercial has hit the internet. We thank Sabrblade for sending it our way, enjoy!

While it is pretty great to see characters like Slipstream and Acid Storm, please remember that this whole line targets kids far more than collectors. So, for instance, Acid Storm does not have knees and Slipstream does not fully transform, both due to an action feature. For the scouts below, the half transformed figure truly is the alt mode.
Ultra Shockwave, on the other hand, will probably get collectors happy since not only is he voyager sized and more articulated than the previous Cyber Battalion toy, but he also has the same design as the current rendition of IDW Shockwave.

The only ones that really interest me is Warrior Windblade (because what's one more in my WB army?) and Shockwave since he's within my tolerance for a $30 figure.

Ditto. Still, I'll wait for reviews. Just in case of some nasty surprises. I mean, who would have suspected at the time that Warrior Starscream had no knees?

We can see that same arm inn spider tank mode, where we see it's the same as the other arm.
