As the initial images and coverage of New York Toy Fair 2018 have passed, we now have the time to delve into some high-definition, closer looks at the Hasbro showroom in the Times Center, part of the full event but separate from the Javits Center where the Fair is taking place over the weekend.
This first gallery, then, brings together the toys and products that will form the upcoming Transformers: Cyberverse line, which will follow the animated series currently in production with Hasbro and Boulder Media - from our panel recap: 'the story of Autobots and Decepticons, their origins, teammates thrugh the perspective of Bumblebee. Animation style looks to be a mix between Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise.'
For the toyline, we're expecting on the Decepticon side Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave and new character Shadow Striker; on the Autobot side Optimus, Windblade, Bumblebee, Grimlock - all of which will feature the Action Attack gimmick, as described in the official blurb below, to accompany the
official images. Take a look at a sample of the images in the gallery, and head
here for the full works before joining the discussion in the Energon Pub!
Born from insights as to what kids want from our animation, our new animated series launching Fall 2018,
TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE is a vehicle to illuminate the core characters and the big picture story beats that lie at the heart of all Transformers storytelling, while extending that story in exciting new directions. TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE will deepen the understanding of the franchise’s key characters and make them recognizable by highlighting who those characters are and establishing clear and ownable personalities, roles on the team and signature moves.
Our TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE product line featuring our new Action Attacker product innovation celebrates each character’s signature moves in a more than meets the eye way – through conversion! Each character in the line can convert to activate their signature move – the last step of conversion will activate this feature action attack.
Scout Class and Warrior Class activate their signature move in robot mode, Ultra Class activates in vehicle mode, and Ultimate Class activates in both modes. Each SKU across the TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE action attacker line offers a different way to activate this action attack across different scales
