The Transformers facebook page has shared official images several of upcoming Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion Class figures. Some, such as Prowl, Soundwave, and Hun-Gurr, were part of the official images we received during Toy Fair earlier this month. However, Windrazor, Blight, and Rippersnapper were absent. Check them out below.

I very rarely say this about Cyberverse, but... I want that entire wave.

[Megatron Wolf]

the more i see the terrorcons the more i want them, hell even soundwave looks good. Prowl not bad either but i just recently picked up bluestreak(smokescreen)so ive got no need for him. Wonder what terrorcon is going to have the combination instructions, hope they dont wait til the 5 pack.

[RAcast]

I'm definitely going to pick up the carded Cutthroat, it looks FANTASTIC. And I'm passing on Legion Smokescreen in favor of Prowl, I feel like he looks a lot better.

Of course now I want more info on the gift set more than ever. What's going to be the deco!?

[MGrotusque]

I like them. Too small for my liking but thems the breaks i guess. I like to think they will be a pass for me but if i see them on sale for dirt cheap i would pick them up.
I like Blot and Cutthroat quite a bit. Well actually....i like them all accept for Hun-Grrr. He's alright but not good enough in my books.

More Cybertronians to join Grimlock in the stubby arm department!

Back in my day, Legends-sized figures all had different weapons!

***OLD MAN MODE DEACTIVATED***

Anyway, I understand that there reasons why most of them have the same weapons, but it just kinda bugs me.

I'm a little disappointed there aren't any images of the Terrorcons' combined mode. I'm curious as to how the decos would work on Abominus.

[Manterax Prime]

Well, I'll be leaving the "Terrorcons" combined as Abominus.

[Mindmaster]

Same here. But I might do what I normally do with my other figures: yank them off the shelf and reposition/reconfigure them elsewhere.

[grimdragon2001]

I like the terrorcons, although I hope we get a set of deluxes for them. looking at hun-grrr though, I can see that these guys will only combine one way

[Manterax Prime]

Well, Hasbro did Bruticus in the deluxe scale. I don't see what's stopping them from making a deluxe scaled Abominus.

[RAcast]

Well, Hasbro did Bruticus in the deluxe scale. I don't see what's stopping them from making a deluxe scaled Abominus.

This was explained VERY well in another thread, but I'll try to sum it up.

Bruticus is a current character and a BIG, important character in the video game. It made sense to spend the expenditure on a deluxe-sized version. They expected it to sell (and, despite the molds' issues, it has sold VERY well and continues to do so, because it's so AWESOME).

Their doing Abominus is literally throwing us a bone. The new generation of fans has NO idea who this "Abominus" guy is other than apparently he's a combiner made of Predacons. Therefore, Hasbro decided to do it in Cyberverse Legion scale, it minimize costs AND throw us a (also very awesome) bone while they were doing it. To top it off, it sets a precedent; if combiners continue to do well, they'll make more in various scales.

I'd guess that this is at least in part a test to see if it will do well. Remember, the last gestalt we got in Legion/Legends scale was the very cool, but very poorly articulated, Rotf Devastator. They're trying an actual humanoid gestalt this time.

if i see them on sale for dirt cheap i would pick them up.

Good luck with that. I've never seen Legions on sale except at 5Below, and I don't have any of those around me.

[Noideaforaname]

Why is it the Legion figures manage to be more than just quadrupedal Western dragons that do little more than stand up to transform, but not the Deluxe and larger Predacons?

I love how all the Terrorcons can apparently hold weapons in their mouths!

Legends came with weapons before Prime?

I think/hope you may be referring to me. Either way, these new pictures only make me want the set more. I really love how Blight and Rippersnapper's transformations are similar but not exactly the same. Enough to show they're closely associated within a faction and even that both form legs. But different enough to exist with out the other.

Grade A stuff Hasbro

[TimothyR]

I don't collect the cyberverse figures (cause I'd rather collect the larger versions) but these beasts look super awesome, if they don't make larger versions of these guys, I'll definitely be getting the beasts.

[PrymeStriker]

The more I look at him, the more Prowl looks like a pile of vomit. I'm disgusted by this repaint.

The only Terrorpred I want is Windrazor. Looks an amazing mold with the best damn color scheme I've seen in ages months. On the rear side: Twinstrike is bland, Hun-Gurr is indescribably awful, and Rippersnapper incorporates a boring deco. Abominus wears his moniker fittingly...what an abomination. No complaints with Blight, but I have no reason to buy him.

Soundwave looks terrific.

[Handels-Messerschmitt]

It's funny how we get an entire wave of nothing but transformers that turn into monsters...

[Sinnertwin]

Oh my

[Cyber Bishop]

Well.. They don't combine but I am down with some terrorcons...

[GuyIncognito]

Well.. They don't combine but I am down with some terrorcons...

Are you sure they don't combine? Is the Target set going to have special versions of the figures with some modified parts to allow them to combine? I figured they'd all combine.

[Manterax Prime]

The only difference of the Target set is the colors of the Terrorcons. They ALL combine, Cyber Bishop.

[Handels-Messerschmitt]

The regular release does combine. They have the little pegs and ports for it, if you look closely. The set will only be 1) all of them in one place 2) with some other colour scheme. It just wouldn't make sense to create first a non-combining mold and then a combining mold for these guys. That's an unnecessary expense.

[DEMEXICONZ]

..Has anybody other than me notice thoes faction symbols on soundwave they look familiar.. i just hope its the angle and not that...

They look like Decepticon symbols. Soundwave is a Decepticon. Am I missing something?

[PrymeStriker]

They look like Decepticon symbols.

They're not Decepticon symbols; they're tattoos of his head!

Am I missing something?

Not really. It's quite clear that they're Decepticon insignia.
