Would you have preferred "Breastforce"?

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user and YouTube reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, has dropped us a line, letting us know that he's done a new video review of the Nezha: Transformers toy, the Nezha Power Up Pack! This toy is part of the China exclusive series that features Chinese mythology crossing over with Transformers (which feature their Cyberverse designs).

Check out Chuck's thoughts below and watch his video review to see what you think of a toy that we're unlikely to ever see released outside of China.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:This is a rare and interesting figure from China, that's a cool transforming robot to boot. Nezha is from a 2003 cartoon based on Chinese folklore, represented by a detailed mini-figure that can fit into the chest of the larger robot, like a Brainmaster. Transformation is smooth and the robot has more articulation than any other Ultra Class figure. While these figures tend to be a little pricey, if you can find one for a price you're willing to pay I definitely recommend it.

What do you think about this toy? Will you try to track it down? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Remember the Transforners Nezha line? It was a China exclusive line with retools and new molds in Cyberverse style packaging. We haven't heard of this line for a while but ut seems to still be around. We have an image from Shebtutoybox of another entry in this line consisting of a Cyberverse Grimlock building set made up of Lego Technic style pieces. It has different face options and can be disassembled and rebuilt into his Dinosaur mold.

This product will most probably not be released outside of China.

Another one that will only be available on the secondary market for a zillion rupies. >:oP

This should complicate the Hasbro/Lego relationship

No, it won't. We've had stuff like this from China for years and yet we still got Lego Optimus.

Probably doesn't count as its Chinese only, plus Prime may have only been a one off anyway

The OP Hasbro/Lego Collab is likely a case of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." It's a win-win either way you look at who's joining who. There's no permanent bad blood in the business world and it's all for fun and profits. Who doesn't want that, right?

Judging by some of those pieces, this guy is BIG. I'd love to see comparisons with Lego Op, and even Kreo Grimmy in dino mode.

Yeah, he'd be about as big as the previous Optimus they did

That kid has way too many parts left over... >:oP

The two seem to share weird fists but they look smaller on Optimus to me.

Went looking for more info on this Optimus and struck gold on this order page. While it's no longer in stock, the page has tons on pictures and details on the set. Scroll down the page to seem them all.

This is not technically a breaking news style article, but more to inform fans who have been asking where to get these officially licensed building block sets of Transformers Cyberverse characters. The questions came about when we revealed the Grimlock building set the other day since it looked cool and completionists wanted to add these official sets to their collection. It turns out that Grimlock is just the latest in a series of officially licensed sets within the Chinese exclusive Transformers Nehza subline. We had a Cyberverse Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Starscream sets before that. While the sets are officially licensed, they are not of actual Lego bricks but by Xiaomi which imitate the Lego Technic bricks (similar to how Kreo-O imitated the standard Lego building system).

They can be purchased on Ali Express. Fans were saying that this would effect a partnership with actual Lego, but as we now know, this is not the case, since after Kre-O and while these technic style sets are being released, Lego still partnered with Hasbro to make a Lego Optimus Prime. All these sets can be disassembled and rebuilt into the alt modes.

The Technic style sets range between $60-$100 USD, here are the purchase links:

Optimus Prime: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004 ... 31d92jbuiN

Megatron: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004 ... 31d92jbuiN

Bumblebee: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004 ... 31d9mEg5SU

Starscream: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004 ... 31d92jbuiN

You forgot to mention ShowZ, which is a well-known site that carries (some) of these figures:

Been a while since we heard from this line! Now all we need are images of the other original characters/deities.

Weren't these pseudo-Technic figures tied to an app of some kind too?

Just like Kreo and they weren't extraordinary.
At least Lego Optimus Transform solidly.

Anyway, all of this give me the desire to try out one of those horrible Built To Rule sets. Too bad they are so expensive on eBay.
