Transformers Cyberverse Hammerbyte and Cybertronian Starscream Video Reviews

Deadput wrote:Anyone else here that doesn't like Starscream's design in the show but liked the other Seeker's designs?

His body just felt too...angular? It just didn't convince me that he was a "transformer" so to speak, not quite sure how to explain it.

Love the character himself in the show and like his head design.

The only Seekers I really liked in the show, design wise, were Slipstream and Thundercracker. I wasn't really a fan of how the rest turned out.

And this seems to be the only seeker toy that really came out good, expect maybe Slipstream, but i never saw her in person to judge properly

I suppose the colors were hit or miss, by design I meant the body shape that the rest of the Seekers used and not necessarily the colors.

I was just glad to have gotten so many Seekers in the show since it's been a long time with their last major appearance being in Animated (I know Dreadwing in Prime is said to be a Seeker and presumably Skyquake was as well but they were new characters which was fine but you know)

Glad to have gotten some first screen appearances from characters like Acid Storm and Nova Storm, Cyberverse was great with the amount of cast they had.

Personally, I loved the Black, Green and Blue seeker that we had previously dubbed Changeling/Changewing

So I have to say this: I think I have found the best one-step Transformer ever made. Repugnus is so good! He is adorable in beast mode, the transformation is actually pretty fun for a single step, and robot mode is actually somewhat posable! The paint work is top notch too!

Until I get Whirl (I've seen he is really good too), he is the definitive 1-step for me, he's just that good. You should pick one up, he is ridiculously fun!

Repugnus also has so much redeco potential. The show introduces so many other Monsterbots and Energon Masters, all of whom share his body-type.

I would gladly take more and army build, he is a really good mold.

I'm actually very happy with my current Cyberverse collection, and with what it will eventually look like. I kinda regret passing on the Scout Shadowstriker and Ultra Slipstream, I did like both of them in the show, but never really could commit to them, and still might try to get them eventually. Season 3 was just so good, and it feels good to have or be getting some of the characters from that parts of the show.

I get the feeling that Hasbro made the toys first and that Boulder Media simply worked them into the third season by crafting stories around them a la the old days of the pre-2007 era.

The Decepticon half of the Cyberverse Resistance

Makes me sad that we are not getting a Cyberverse Perceptor. and it makes me eager to see Iaconus and Skullcruncher. And to get Maccadam, Rack n' Ruin, Whirl, Hammerbyte, Wild Wheel, Meteorfire, and the deluxes.

Finally got around to getting the first four Maccas bots off lay-buy this arvy.

Now I've seen plenty of people having a good ol whinge fest about them, but I don't see why. I found them to be bloody good figures. Megatron is a little on the loose side, and Optimus' plastic is transparent at some points, but other than that, they're solid figures.

I like that there seems to be more pieces to lock in together making the alt modes solid. They also seem to have a good range of poseability.

Good figures, bring on the rest so I can finish off ol Macca.

Glad you found and got them. Bee is quite enjoyable, and I still find him the best of the 4.

Once you unhook Wave's hose, he drastically improves too

We have some big news for you fans of the Marvel G1 Wreckers and of the Cyberverse show in general: the Ultra Class Rack n' Ruin toy is now available on Amazon.com right now!

Rack n' Ruin was a comic original character from the Marvel G1 comics, where they served as members of the Wreckers, and much like their buddy Impactor, they made quite an impact with readers of the day. they briefly showed up in the IDW comics, but until Cyberverse, that was about the limit of their fictional appearances, with no toys either.

But then Cyberverse happened, where Rack n' Ruin became show characters and proved to be quite fun in the show. And with their show appearance, they have finally been granted a toy in the form of this Ultra Class figure, which is quite posable for the size class, much like Clobber, and is available for $19.99. You can pick it up at the above link, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

If you are in the Japanese market, or just in the market for obscure redecos of 9-year old figures, have we got news for you! According to a post on Snakas Blog, the May issue of Japan's TV magazine will include a clear plastic redeco of Legion Class Bumblebee from Dark of the Moon, which came out in 2011. However, this figure is branded as "Thunder Spark Bumblebee" and is being associated with the Cyberverse line. Check out the pictures below.





What do you think of this figure? Let us know in the comments below, and thanks to Seibertronian ScottyP for the heads up on this head-scratching figure.

Wait a moment... Dark of the Moon came out in 2011 Isn't this the Revenge of the Fallen Legion class Bumblebee?

Nah, Bounti just got the bloody year wrong. ROTF Legends-class Bee had wheels at the ends of his arms.

ZeroWolf wrote:Wait a moment... Dark of the Moon came out in 2011 Isn't this the Revenge of the Fallen Legion class Bumblebee?

Thanks for the heads up, guys. I actually corrected it shortly after I posted it, but it may still show up in different places.

No problem, reads fine now. You're doing a fantastic job.

Got these 2 in the mail yesterday, got to play with them some last night.

Hammerbyte is a really cool warrior. The transformation is actually quite intuitive, and the shark mode is really cool. Except for no head movement, he is really good!

Rack n' Ruin is also a joy. The comments for him are similar to Hammerbyte, with the lack of any head movement being any sort of detriment. But they are really cool and the alt mode is nice too.

They are both fun!

Cyberverse Deluxes are a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive in Japan.

Why am I not surprised?

In the mean time, I'm still trying to comprehend the line up of the Hasbro side. Too many Size Classes with too many repeat characters

Why does it seem that for 2020/2021 a great deal of Transformers product is going to be exclusive to their shop?

Hey, just realized I have over 6k posts, nice.

Since the Den is now put together, here is my current Cyberverse shelf!

I love seeing all that diversity in size. That Grimlock is a BEAST!

With Maccadam making a big return in Cyberverse season 3, it now makes sense why he would be prominent in this year's deluxe line by being the build a figure component. Takara release new images through their Twitter handle showing him complete and posed in various ways. Of course, we did write an article showing you what to expect from this build a figure already, and you can read that here.

The next two components will be coming out in wave 2 which consists of Grimlock and Hot Rod and there will be a third wave with Arcee and Thunderhowl.

I really ought to get into this particular line. I wouldn't mind having a Macaddam/Alchemist Prime/Thew action figure.

Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:I really ought to get into this particular line. I wouldn't mind having a Macaddam/Alchemist Prime/Thew action figure.

I've only gotten the build-a-bot figures because all the others were just a little too simplified for my tastes.

The build-a-bot figures though are good figures, more suited for a more mature (for lack of a better description) collection, plus you get the awesomeness that is Maccadam.

I'm excited for the Maccadam parts. At least once I get Grimlock and Hot Rod I can have him standing on his own 2 legs. Ugh impatient to finish him

The timing of Takara posting those images couldn't be more perfect.

It would have been nice if they'd given us his shoulders before his fists though, just to decrease the chances of accidentally losing the fists before getting the shoulders.

Agreed with this, the parts spread wasn't very good, you gotta hold onto a forearm for like 8 months and another for 4 months

Sweet!

I’m not a customizer, but I would love to take one of the versions of Prime Bulkhead and repaint him in those colors

Emgo's review of Ultra Class Rack-N-Ruin!

I opened up Hot Rod and Grimlock today, and I've got some mixed feelings on them.

Let's start with Grimlock. He is a solid and fun figure, with a nice tail transformation, and a certain style about his robot mode that is super cool. But he feels, I don't know, stunted? I have the Ultimate figure, and I actually prefer him to the new deluxe. Posing isn't too much better, and he is so much smaller. The ultimate feels like the far better deal. But the deluxe isn't bad, just not quite to par. I would say he's the 2nd best deluxe of the line.

And then there's Hot Rod. Gosh they did him dirty. He needed so much more paint, it's embarrassing how bland he is, He needed so much more yellow. The flame effects are about the only thing that don't suffer from the lack of paint, and are about the coolest thing about him. The transformation is also underwhelming, 2nd only to Shockwave in terms of being lame. Car mode is cool, but again, paint. He is the first figure in a while where I feel the figure is pretty awful paint wise. It's bad, and it pulls him down really far.

Bee easily remains the best deluxe of the line so far. And at least Maccadam can stand on his own 2 legs. I really want the biceps now

Those are simply adorable! I have to hunt down that Arcee and the insecticon.

These... are a lot more impressive than I would have thought for the size of these things. Arcee looks like a highlight here.

Ballistic90 wrote:These... are a lot more impressive than I would have thought for the size of these things. Arcee looks like a highlight here.

That's probably why she's got the most pictures.
I'd like to get the arcee and stealth hot rod myself.

To go with my thoughts on Hot Rod and Grimlock yesterday, here are a few pictures:

Arcee does look nice.

Just got the build-a-figure Rodimus to go in my Hot Rod collection. I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a nice, solid figure. Although one of the legs isn't very stable after one transformation and it suffers from a lack of paint apps.

The Transformers: Cyberverse TV show may be winding down but there are still some toys on the horizon for fans of the series to enjoy. While it has been awhile since any news came through on when to expect the "Battle Call" sub-line with its Officer Class and Trooper Class figures on the shelves, it looks like these toys are one step closer to being in the hands of kids and collectors. Via listings on Amazon US, Amazon UK and UK wholesaler A.B. Gee, stock images are available of the first wave of Officer Class figures, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. A.B. Gee also has a listing for the Trooper Class figures, featuring Wild Wheel, Meteorfire and another Bumblebee.

Check out the images mirrored below, which begin with Officer Class Bumblebee, and be sure to let us know if you find these toys available to order or on store shelves in your area.

Meh.

Meh.

Wait....

Dafok?

Wildwheel?

shutupandtakemymoney.jpg

Wild Wheel, while kinda cheap looking, looks nice, and I appreciate his stetson being removable. Probably be the only one I get, and I’d kill for a dark blue, 19th-century US Army Cavalry themed redeco. Still curious how the armor thing works. I know it’s voice activated but how does it pop out?

Forgot all about these.

Are these the only assortments in which Steve Irwin and Clint Eastwood will be available?

You may not want to hear this, but the spring-loaded armor is only on the bigger Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, with the rest simply being attached (look at the fins on the shoulders). According to the box, the lights on the figures and sounds on the bigger Prime and 'Bee are voice-activated, but the armors are not. It's possible there are different sounds depending on whether the armor is deployed or not (like a button being kept pressed), but I can't find any clues to that.

Well that makes a lot more sense. Not really disappointed, still wanting Wild Wheel, don’t plan on anyone else (unless they do Decepticons that haven’t gotten figures yet).

Also, forgot about Meteorfire. Robot mode ain’t bad, but Jesus Christ that jet mode is less aerial dynamic than friggin’ Devastator.

Good thing there's no wind resistance in space.

Wild Wheel's Car design looks like it borrowed heavily from the Female Autobot Combiners, which I thought was a lazy and boring design to start with.

At least Wild Wheels' back end looks better designed.

And unlike the fembots, he's a flying car.

New characters seem like they got the short end of the stick here. Wild Wheel looks pretty cheap in bot mode and Meteorfire's alt mode looks like a box with wings. Happy to see new characters but hope they get sonething additional down the line.

I shouldn't complain too much, still infinitely better treatment than a ton of RiD's characters! Never getting a good Saberhorn, are we
