New Video Review of Transformers Cyberverse Ultra Alpha Trionformers Cyberverse 2018 Toyline Thread

Going by Hasbro mass retail only, then yes, this is the third official Alpha Trion figure.

It would seem that Alpha Trion is now forever doomed to continue aping the look Vector Prime's vehicle mode, which itself was already very similar to the Sith Infiltrator from Star Wars Episode 1.

Despite the Cyberverse line being so limited in articulation, I would actually argue that this particular Alpha Trion figure may look quite good when placed in a G1 collection among other similarly-articulated molds from the 1980s, specifically some of the non-Diaclone/non-Micro Change molds from 1986-onward. Like, this figure might look good standing next to some of the movie figures from 1986 like Hot Rod, Kup, Blurr, Springer, Wreck-Gar, Scourge, Cyclonus, etc.

I'll say that Alpha Trion could work with limited articulation since traditionally he's a non combatant and thus would need less dynamic posing.

give it a slight retool and color change to blue and white and we could have scourge

Or make it white and we get Vector Prime.

Don't pretend like there aren't any Primes in the show.

Warrior class Slipstream and Spark Armor Cheetor are Target exclusives.

The transformers Instagram channel

Thanks to the official Transformers Facebook page, we now know of a new upcoming Cyberverse Warrior Class Slipstream, who will be exclusive at Target along with Cheetor. The Cyberverse Spark Armor Elite Class Cheetor was shown off at San Diego Comic-Con this year, but we have yet to see anything on a Warrior Class Slipstream. This Slipstream is just a redeco of Warrior Class Starscream, even with painted lips, and as such, is very inaccurate due to her model used in the show. This also means she has the same Action Attack, with her waist spinning and the wings flipping out due to centrifugal force.

The Facebook post also has attached a stock render for the already released, "Seekers 3-Pack," containing the Rainmakers, Ion Storm, Nova Storm, and Acid Storm. We already knew these were Target exclusives, and already had stock photography done.

So, would you buy any of these figures at your Target? Thoughts on the newly revealed Slipstream? Tell us below in Pub forums!

I will probably never have to worry about buying these from my local Target because my local Target SUCKS and I'll probably never see any of them there.

I'm definitely going to pick up Slipstream. Sure the mold has many flaws, but I'd rather pay $10 as opposed to $50 or more for the Legends one.

I hope these aren't red card exclusives

I wonder who will distribute these bots in Canada?

Toysrus probably.all these exclusives seem randomly distributed because the US lost its main toy store. But canada didnt.

I dont care for the random seekers, but I genuinely want that Cheetor.

Target exclusives? Bugger. My local targets stopped carrying everything Cyberverse except the 1-steps

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Target exclusives? Bugger. My local targets stopped carrying everything Cyberverse except the 1-steps

We still got mostly everything here, except that Ultra Class Shockwave (I need to find that toy again)

At least I can expect seeing these figures, and hopefully they won't shelfwarm like a certain Target exclusive mask.

I hereby dub Slipstream's toy......DRAGSCREAM! Seriously... she needs some remolding. They could use it for other female seekers from Cyberverse.

I agree. Slipstream has been a joy for me to watch, I'd like her to get a decent toy that looks like her in the Warrior scale

I feel your pain... I feel your pain. However, that Cheetor will be mine.. somehow.

So you never saw that retro styled Soundwave Boombox from last year? Ever?

You mean Shelfwarmwave?

Fellow Seibertronians! Yours truly has discovered something exciting, this time being the Transformers Cyberverse Battle Class Spark Armor Wave 1 figures being found at US retail. Thanks to TFW2005 User WreckageGhost, we now have confirmed sightings of the first wave for the new sub-line, as well as a confirmed pricepoint of $14.99. These were found at a Target in Tinley Park, Illinois.





Hopefully, people will be able to get their hands on these figures, including the baddest shark around, Sky-Byte, the Autobot scientist Jetfire(who has a grimmer facial expression than Prowl), and that treacherous schemer Screamer soon.

Will you be hunting for these figures now? Will you be passing on the poet (or the others)? Tell us in the discussion below.

Thanks once again to Seibertronian chuckdawg1999 we have a new video review and our first in hand look at Cyberverse Scout Class Scraplet and Energon Axe Attack Optimus Prime!



Fans have been especially excited for Scraplet being our first official figure of the biggest natural threat to Transformers life since cosmic rust and gold plastic syndrome. Chuck points out, and rightfully so, that Scraplet is probably the only Scout class figure many fans will ever buy and they'll likely be buying multiples. While it's a very simple figure with no articulation worth mentioning it does look good in both modes and has an effective gimmick that can be used in either mode.

As for Energon Axe Attack Optimus Prime it appears to be either a new mold or an extensive retool of the previous Ion Burst Optimus Prime figure. While the bot mode is a little more colorful this time around with more detailed paint apps and an open face head sculpt, the alt mode isn't very appealing to adult collectors and the new battle gimmick is very awkward.

Chuck also points out that while these haven't turned up at most retailers yet, both online and off, you can get Scraplet and Energon Axe Attack Optimus Prime on the still running Hasbro Toy Shop eBay store right now!

That's what she said.

With TF:Prime being my G1 2.0, Scraplet was a figure I was very excited about. It doesn't look all that good and seems off from what I remember. I do like the hypno spinning mouth part.

Hey Chuckery, when you going review Gnaw? I'm still interested in adding that bot to the sharktiswam.

Scraplets were originally introduced in the marvel comic line....

Not the first time I made that slip. I think Gnaw is part of this wave but it wasn't up on eBay. Amazon is funny like that too with the armor figures. All of the small ones but Sky Byte.

Yes, but not in this form, and I think this is a case of the Cover outperforming the original. Maybe it just has to do with the Pdime version bei g more recent and therrfore more relevent, but I think down the road if you say "Scraplet", people are gonna think of the these silver bug-eyed mouthful of sawblade critters and not the almost disney comic looking Marvel Scraplets that were literal living nuts and bolts

Scraplet looks oddly nice, I was concerned there would be something bizarrely wrong with him so thank you for the review! May pick him up if I spot him at the local Wal-Mart, but they don't seem to carry much Cyberverse lately...

Well it's a regular Cyberverse news-spolsion in the Seibertron news room! We've got sightings of the regular assortment from one of our own members, then a sighting of the Tiny Turbos Series 1 up in Canada, before we get to a quick peek of the Tiny Turbos Series 2.

First off from our own Seibertronian ScottyP comes sightings of some of the new Cyberverse Basic Assortment at a Target in North Carolina. Scotty learned that basics are $14.99, and Elite are $24.99. The case breakdown for Basics looks to be 2x Starscream, 2x Sky Byte, 1x Prowl and 1x Jetfire. Elite seems to be 2x Optimus, 1x Bee, and 1x Megatron. (Also spotted at the same Target was the new Siege Micromaster 10 pack so make sure and check your local stores they're definitely making their way across the nation)






Then thanks to a member named terrific over at TFW2005 we've learned the new Tiny Turbo Changers Series 1 has hit the shelves of at least one WalMart in Ottawa, Canada. They've also learned a way to decode which character is in which blind bag! The code starts with a letter of the alphabet and it’s this letter that tells you who is inside. terrific has also provided us the full list of codes.

Tiny Turbo Changers Series 5 Identification Codes list:
A – Bumblebee
B – Optimus Prime
C – Grimlock
D – Autobot Hot Rod
E – Jetfire
F – Autobot Drift
G – Blackarachnia
H – Decepticon Shockwave
I – Soundwave
J – Megatron
K – Starscream
L – Prowl


Then lastly thanks to a listing at Amazon Mexico we have an image of the lineup for Series 2 of the Tiny Turbo Changers. In it we see Starscream, Megatron, Drift, Prowl, Grimlock, Jetfire Hot Rod, Shockwave, Black Arachnia, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Soundwave.




As always enjoy the images and share your views with the Seibertron crew in the forums, and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

I think I need to budget in a whole case of the tiny turbo changers.

Just found a UK listing for Cyberverse Spark Armour Ratchet, over at Argos. I'd thought we might have seen pictures of him by now

Thank you very muchily Sabrblade! Is that our first proper photograph of it?

ZeroWolf wrote:Thank you very muchily Sabrblade! Is that our first proper photograph of it?

Seems to be.

A...snowmobile? Wtf??

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade we've learned that mischajaye on Twitter has posted images of Transformers Cyberverse Spark Armor Ratchet! These were posted in the new Argos catalogue. Ratchet's coming into the battle revved up and ready to fix broken down bots by teaming up with a snowmobile. Seems like a strange combination the cartoon fiction will hopefully address upon its introduction down the road.

Each of the Spark Armor figures seems to enjoyably blur the line between real world application and wild creativity and rampant fun with the play pattern. Ratchet is no exception. That being said one thing you can't deny is that armor looks pretty cool on Ratchet.

Enjoy the images and share your thoughts in the forum, and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Is that a friggin skidoo?! Someone repaint this guy into Snowcat or Icepick ASAP! We need more snow-bots!

That van mode is really nice!

Skritz wrote:Is that a friggin skidoo?! Someone repaint this guy into Snowcat or Icepick ASAP! We need more snow-bots!

Or Transmetal Rhinox! His alt mode was sort of the first snowmobile, right? It may have been called a tank, but there were skis in the front.

I find rather fitting, honestly, because it seems like something of an homage to this:

I need to get some of these Spark Armour figures, look to be the best of the Cyberverse line

We have some cool new official images for you for upcoming Transformers Cyberverse toys. Some were seen sporadically at shows but never given much attention and we never got images like these before. For now, these images can only be seen on Seibertron.com. Below you will see warriors (deluxe sized) Drift, Jetfire and a new Bumblebee. Speaking of new Bumblebees, there will be a second scout (half transformed) Bumblebee coming with different weapons. You will also see One Step Jazz and ultra (voyager sized) Prowl. While we caught a glimpse of Spark Armour Ratchet just recently, we have a great view of the toy now. He looks as good as one could imagine from this line. We also have images of Spark Armour Shockwave. If you want an idea of how big the spark armour figures are, you can check this review of the latest Skybyte toy.

These look pretty good, especially Shockwave, a satellite is a perfect armour option. Drift looks nifty as well

soooo Hasbro finally figured out that the secret to selling these cyberverse warrior toys is elbows and knees?

Drift and Jetfire are clear winners, as does Ratchet. Shockwave’s a surprise and I almost want to get him to replace the Warrior one I already have, which is impressive as I think it’s a pretty good figure on its own.

i wonder if they'll make deadlock from that drift(it a easy thing to do and it seem like they already plan to make a deadlock toy
