I wonder how that Windblade will hold up? That Ultra Shockwave as well.

How droll. A Windblade with wind-wing blades.

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 would rather have the cyber battalion line at least that shockwave looks amazingly good and turns into something :-?

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

Hm, that Windblade LOOKS good, I see full arm articulation, head articulation, hip movement, but hard to tell if she has knees. If she does I might buy her. If not then it's easy enough for me to pass on this entire line.

That's what the Warrior class figures are (in theory, at least).

...so I'm going to guess that if Acid Storm is just a Starscream repaint, he also has no knees right? I guess he left them behind wherever he also left all of the purple his box art claims he should have. And that Ultra Widowmaker Shadow Striker looks like she's at least missing elbows...

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...

"Again"? When was he ever such before?

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.

Ah, thought you meant beforehand.

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

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.

Deluxe Megatron looks cute.

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!

Windblade looks cute for a very basic figure, same with Slipstream. A shame the toys look a bit crap because the designs are nice.

And that Shockwave looks better than it has any business being.

Funny how both of Shockwave's toys have full articulation unhindered by a gimmick.

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.

Galleries for Transformers Cyberverse Display at SDCC 2018 with Windblade, Optimus Trailer Playset and More #HasbroSDCC

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!
