You know, with the news of another wave of Deluxes, I wonder who the next build-a-figure could be. I would imagine it would be someone in the show who doesn't have a toy yet, who couldn't be made from simply redecoing/retooling an existing mold, and who isn't too big to scale with the rest of the normal-sized bots (as in, not Croaton).
Alphastrike would be a cool option, and would give us another fembot. Though, while not gigantic, she still might be too big.
Astrotrain would probably be too big, too.
Or, hey, maybe it's the Quintesson Scientist! He'd be doable as a BAF.

I'm surprised there hasn't been any news of an Astrotrain figure yet. Hopefully they don't decide to skip him because the Earthrise figure is still on shelves because I really like his design in the show.

Now I notice that the kid is just a bad shoop that act like a cardboard cut-out behind the toy.
Wow.

Thanks to our own D-Maximal Primal, we've been alerted to two previously unseen Cyberverse multipacks. The first, from user @ARCTIC_STORM on Twitter, shows us a recolor of Repugnus' 1-Step changer in a color scheme meant to evoke Cybertron Wreckloose. Fitting, as Cybertron Repugnus was a redeco of that line's Wreckloose. This Repugnus (he's still labeled as such) is branded a Decepticon, though, and includes three smaller Repugni(?) Who appear to be non-transforming monsterbots, likely as a callback to the Cyberverse episode "Journey to the Valley of Repugnus", which features multiple bots with the exact same altmode.
This image appears to show the set at retail, and given that previous "Cybertronian Villains" sets were Target exclusives, its likely it was found at Target, though there's nothing in the picture to confirm this.
Next up is from an eBay auction for a Seeker Multipack first rumored earlier this year. It features four Seekers who are redecoes of the recent Warrior Class Starscream figure who had a Cybertronian altmode. Included are Thrust in a color scheme more reminiscent of his G1 incarnation, inverted, though with a healthy dose of yellow; Skywarp in her show accurate mostly purple colors (Skywarp is female in Cyberverse), and Thundercracker and Starscream in more traditional decos (until you get to the wings). Interestingly, Skywarp and Starscream are both packaged in jet modes, while Thrust and Thundercracker are in robot mode.
Let us know what you think of these new figures, and whether you'll be purchasing them if you see them at retail. As always, stay tuned to Seibertron for the latest in Transformers news!

Oops. My mistake (now fixed). I'm very unfamiliar with the whole Unicron Trilogy, so I had to research the figure and got them mixed up.

Skywarp is female in Cyberverse. 
After Splitstream and female Starscream in the French dub of the 1986 TF Movie, I think that the Seekers can gender-swap with absolutely no problem. And without changing body type that much if at all too!

It looks as if the mini monsterbots do transform as you can see a ball joint to flip the heads down. The sharkticon pack and 3 mini sharks that transformed so these probably change into mini robots as well.

The Repugnus set is adorable, and the Seeker one is awesome. Target’s getting a ton of exclusives here lately, more exclusives in the last year than in the last three or four I’d say.

First reaction: Holy snap, we're getting toys of all those Monsterbots/Energon Masters?!!!!
*rewatches episode*
Second reaction: Aw man, none of those decos in that set match with any of the Monsterbots/Energon Masters seen onscreen. Unless their names are given somewhere on the box, they're all just generics. No Repugnus, Stinkus, Coolus, Hippus, Raddus, Operatus, Affluous, Fabulous, or Teknicus.
And so is Cosmos.

Nova Storm and (most of the time) Acid Storm are female in Cyberverse too (I say "most of the time" since there were a few shots in Season 1 where Acid Storm was rendered with a male Seeker design instead of the female one that she had more often and ultimately settled on in Season 2).-Kanrabat- wrote:Skywarp is female in Cyberverse.

As I understood, Acid Storm was genderfluid, so that's why they switched between male and female. At least, that's what the writers said (to cover the animation inconsistencies).

I hope it was tongue-in-cheek sarcasm from the writers because genuinely pandering to the woke fringe never end well.
I'm still curious how Starscream (and Ratchet) would have been written if they were female since day one in G1? Would Ratchet have become a "sexy nurse"? Would Starscream still be a schemer, a coward, and Megatron's punching bag?

I would so love to see that. Cold, austere, dry, and mean woman who is too old to deal with this sh!t. A bit like Animated Ratchet, but meaner. Of course, she would be best doctor and always mean well in the end despite her awful attitude.

Both of those sets look pretty dang nice. I definitely will get the repugnus set. Those are really cute! And that will give me 7 Repugnus total, something i never thought I would say.
Seeker set looks cool, interested to see a price and also see if it goes on sale. I think I want those.
also cool that the female Skywarp is getting a toy. It is nice to have the gender differences in the seekers.
That is gonna be a great set. Though I kinda wish Slipstream had got a better toy, she deserved it.

Skywarp's deco looks more like Nova Storm's, which makes me wonder if some wires got crossed on which female purple Seeker they had in mind for this set.

Somehow missed their article 4 days ago, so I was pleasantly surprised to find the Galaxian-Seeker and Repugni sets at the Wonderland Target today!
Sorry I still don't have a camera handy, but lil' Huey-, Dewey-, and Louie-pugnus DO transform! They have zero arm-articulation in either mode, which makes their fist-peg-holes rather pointless and renders them lame compared to the surfer-Sharkticons that came with 1-step Charred-Rod, but they do transform. Makes me wonder how many collectors will buy an extra set so they can slice the arms off an re-peg them for movement.
And as cool as the seeker quartet looks now, all that clear plastic on #s 2 and 4 has me worried about their longevity, especially the main folding joint on each wing.
Still don't see why any mention of "gender-fluid" elicits an overreaction around here. Years before PotP Cindersaur, Futurama established robot-gender-fluid as a thing, though they called it "femmzoil". And considering how many fans are probably going to repurpose this set's Starscream into Redwing or Ramjet upon opening if they already have this mold's original Screamer, projecting different genders and personalities onto them will surely be downright nonchalant in headcanon.

The other night I picked up the Deluxe Grimlock on a whim while toy hunting, and man I gotta say pretty pleasantly surprised how nice he is! Articulation is quite solid and the transformation is involved and satisfying. The Dino mode cleans up and tabs in great, kinda wish there was more movement in the knees but yeah, if anybody has been craving a solid Grimlock and feels like he's been done dirty with the last few toys I'd highly recommend it

The Target near me had two of the seeker set, and while I hadn't thought a second about this line, I really did like the look of what I could see in the packaging...
The alt modes looked really cool, and the color schemes and paint apps were awesome.
I picked up a Siege Hotlink at Walmart, but I'm considering taking him back. If I do, I may go for that set.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Arcee is the latest addition to the Cyberverse Deluxe sub-line, Generations style articulated versions of characters from the Cyberverse cartoon. While mostly a shellformer, Arcee compacts nicely into a stylized car mode. I'm very happy with the figure as the joints are nice and tight and support the weight of the backpack well. If you want to complete Maccadam you'll need to buy Arcee anyway, but you're getting a solid figure too.

The TF Addict has some cool reviews for us. These are for the newly released Transformers Cyberverse Battle Call Trooper Class Meteorfire and Wildwheel. Those are new characters introduced in the Cyberverse show and so far these are the only toys they will be getting.
These new toys, along with their wave mate Bumblebee, have been slowly popping up at Targets across the US in the past 2 weeks. They retail for 24.99. They were first found in Austria and have also been popping up in the UK at Smyths stores for £25 each.

I really love Meteorfire. He have a very G1 Victory / The Braves feel to him. I don't know if I'll ever buy him, but if I see him on sale live in store, it may likely be an impulse purchase. Even at full price even. For him, I don't mind the lack of articulations because it's like a G1 toy that they forgot to release 30 years ago and only NOW it's finally out. I like it.
As for Wildwheel, I'm disappointed. The vehicle is weird for his Western theme for starter. He would be WAY better as a classic muscle car from the 1970/80's. It doesn't make much sense to have a Earth style robot mode with a Cybertronian vehicle. Then, the partsforming hat is sad. All that space under the car for naught. And finally no articulations and the hollow-dollar-store legs syndrome. Wildwheel is a huge missed opportunity.

I’m with you for the most part on Wildwheel, but you’ll never convince me that a removable hat on a cowboy toy is a bad idea.

It's an accessory that can easily be lost and it's essential for the robot's look. There's also the unforgivable sin to not being able to store it anywhere in the vehicle mode.

Time to seeker it up.
This is a pretty neat set. 4 figures, all with some pretty rad plastic and color schemes. The base mold itself is really simple, but it's still able to pose and move, and it looks pretty good. Feels light, but its a Warrior, not too surprised. Still not a half bad base mold.
Now for the individuals:
Starscream is truly a ghost, this feels like if he had survived his Quintesson judge conversion this would be his form. He feels like a ghost, it's neat. He'll look good with some light shining through him.
Thundercracker feels pretty plain, only translucent is on his blasters, and he feels a bit boring compared to the rest. Which is a shame since he is my nominal favorite character seeker.
Thrust is pretty dang nice, I love the color scheme on him. like TC his only translucent is on the blasters, but the colors are much more exciting on this one. Really enjoy. 2nd favorite of the set.
Skywarp however is the clear winner. Entirely translucent purple plastic for that warping effect, with green blasters! She is very nice, i really did this one. And the jet mode colors are really awesome too.
Overall, a decent set. Glad I got this one, and finally got some Cyberverse seekers. It's worth the pickup I think

They made Skywarp look a bit more like Nova Storm or Slipstream, the two other female purple Seekers.

Really love the seekers set, my son would adore them! Does anyone know the best way to get a set of these as I live in the Uk! Have checked ebay but the mark up from sellers is double the retail!

You find double the retail on Ebay expensive?
Ha.
Indeed, you are new at this. Triple or even quadruple is the norm. Then add shipping, exchange rate, custom fees..................

We had video reviews for the new Transformers Cyberverse Battle Call figures Wildwheel and Meteorfire and now Chuckdawg has a review for the last figure of this class (that we know of), Bumblebee!
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Battle Call Trooper Bumblebee is an ok Ultra Class sized figure. There's really nothing new here as we've seen Bumblebee in every size class this line has to offer. The Battle Call gimmick is fun, but I feel it's lacking without an Officer Class figure to interact with it. While it might not be for everyone, I strongly recommend not paying the $45+ these figures are going for on eBay.

Not too bad for a Bee, with a very unique gimmick.
BUT WHY THE HOLLOW LEGS WITH NO FEET?
Seriously, this ruin the figure completely. And as seen in the video, that Bee can barely stand up.

Lot of things are being sacrificed in this series. Looks like budget shortage or emphasis on gimmicks
wildwheel: no storage for hat.
warrior optimus: axe is too noticeable and those legs are chunky in truck mode
electronic bunblebee: are we seeing a return of the supreme cheetor mess, unnecessary light and barely stands?
As for electronics and foldup armor, ill pass, But i would love to own Arcee, she looks decent.

It is a good idea
Still i haven't found any good actual warrior/deluxe figures. Iceland is unlucky
No sign of new stuff til 2021 probably.
The newest we have are from cyberverse adventures are 1-Step Whirl and 1-Step Bludgeon (worst weapon gimmick ever, flapping wrist) and recolored sting shot Bumblebee's.
I have few elite class that i like (still they look like they are deluxe sized) i liked, the Grimlock (Crash Bash Armor)and Bumblebee (Ocean Fury) but i don't use the armors. CV Grimlock may be small is a decent G1 representative just needs a sword. PotP Voyager Grimlock is too chunky in t-rex mode for me.

My Pink Princess of Selfies has arrived. She is a pretty wonderful litle deluxe. i love the feel of the plastic, she and Bee feel the best in this aesthetic. The kibble kinda hinders the arms some, but she's pretty fun. And I am only a head away from completing Maccadam, who feels so much better with almost his whole self put together, much more solid to me.
