Something about Megs puts me off

Really need video reviews before I jump in. Season 2 didn't know what it was and these are costly. Plus do I even bother with Prowl and Alpha Trion now?

Urgh. Hate not knowing ahead of time, especially when I'm going all out on WFC.

I am not bothering with any other cyberverse toy aside from these deluxes.

Yeah, I can totally see why!

It's only frustrating to me because I have the whole deluxe set so far, and while some are totally rubbish like Bumblebee, some are bloody excellent like Grimlock and Starscream in terms of looks and gimmicks (to my mind).

I'll see what the reviews say and then check them out in stores. I now wish I'd been more selective previously!

I suppose the new ones are all hitting pretty much at once at least, letting me know if I need to get Prime, Bee, Shockwave and Grimlock again... Hmmm. Need to see Prowl and Alpha Trion!

So one of these I submitted to news already, and the other was found afterwards, but a credible detective/TFW user found listings for Cyberverse Ultra Class figures of Thunderhowl (the guy who's also getting a Deluxe that we know basically nothing about) and interestingly Skull Cruncher (the space is there in the listing, I assume the name is split to get around copyright stuff) on the Walmart mobile app. Both listings are locked from public view, but they do have UPC numbers.

UPC for Thunderhowl: 630509902583
UPC for Skull Cruncher: 630509902606

Thanks to our very own Nemesis Primal and TFW2005's own jtrprime, we have news that the Cyberverse ranks may be expanding even more.

As you might recall, the entire Maccadam wave was revealed a few weeks back, and among those figures was a brand new face, Thunderhowl. While we yet do not have any more images or pictures of Thunderhowl, we do have a new UPC code for the character. And surprisingly enough, along with Thunderhowl, we have another UPC code revealed, and this one is for a Cyberverse Skullcruncher!

Cyberverse has not provided us with a hint of a Skullcruncher joining the show or toy ranks so far, but we now have this UPC code that indicates that we may very well be getting a Skullcruncher. We will note that Skullcruncher's name is now spaced out to Skull Cruncher, probably to secure the trademark. The UPC's were located on the Walmart mobile app, and you can find them listed below.

We will keep an eye on the situation and let you know as soon as we get more news regarding a potential Skull Cruncher figure, as well as any and all Cyberverse news that might be coming!

UPC for Thunderhowl: 630509902583
UPC for Skull Cruncher: 630509902606

There's in hand image of all 4 deluxes on tfw2005. The more i look at these, the more i want them. Also, i noticed that on all in-hand image of optimus that we got so far, none of those utilizing his ankle tilt on any of the poses. I wonder if that means he doesn't actually have ankle tilt, or it is forgotten. I really hope it is the latter.

Agreed. I don't need another Prime or Megs, but Bee and Shockwave, whomever this new Thunderhowl is, are really tempting and I do want a Maccadam

[william-james88]

A few Seibertronians have made us aware of new in hand images of the first wave of Cyberverse deluxe figures due out January 1st. These images come from the Hobbymizer Faebook page and feature Deluxe Optimus Prime, Shockwave, Megatron and Bumblebee. There are also images showing their scale where we see that they are indeed, as expected, the size of a deluxe Siege toy. They also have the same articulation and complexity as Siege figures and are priced the same. However, you get bonus pieces to build a non transforming Maccadam figure. The images show how well these figures are articulated.

And good news for Canadians, these have also been found in Canada now. Over at Cybertron.ca, we have a sighting from Matt McNally who found these figures at a Toys R Us in Burlington, Ontario.

Let us know what you think!

[Bioformer Grr]

I never thought that I would say this, but I WANT a CYBERVERSE BUMBLEBEE. there is a primus and it is a miricle. The day has come where there is a good looking bumblebee for my collection. I cannot wait to get it

[Rodimus Knight]

With that Blue effect on his Truck mode, it looks like Optimus is farting.

Naturally the two characters I want to see haven't been found yet to show.

[chuckdawg1999]

Anybody in Canada wanna hook a brother up without it hurting too much?

[D-Maximal_Primal]

They are looking good! All 4 appear to be very solid figures. i think I am more excited for Bumblebee than anyone from this wave

[Mindmaster]

This line is really shaping up to be good. This is what we should’ve gotten to begin with!

[william-james88]

I havent found them locally yet but it would hurt a lot for sure. these are overpriced in canada at 29.99$. And thats before our higher sales tax (mine is 15%) and the rather pricey shipping. You'd be looking at 50-60 bucks a figure or more depending on how much someone wants to be paid for their efforts.

i wonder if the blast effects here are compatible with siege? if they do, swapping the effect between siege and cyberverse would be interesting.

I feel like they should be, they look like they should be

Arent the effect parts 5mm? Looks that way to me, meaning they are compatible with a ton of stuff

Not sure if anyone caught this but the wave 1 repaints coming out in 2020 are branded Bumblebee Cybertron Adventures and features a black Hot-Rod. The new figures are under the subline Battle for Cybertron.

Ah yes, but now we know one of the sublines is dedicated to the repaints.

But, the 1-Step Bludgeon that uses that label in the link is a new mold.

[william-james88]

Found these at the store, will be working on some Pictorial Reviews during the week-end.

[ZeroWolf]

Greetings Seibertronians! Autobase Aichi has posted a whole host of new product images for the Cyberverse line!. These are split between the Cyberverse Battle for Cybertron packaging and the Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures packaging.

In the Battle for Cybertron subline we have Scout Classes: Ramjet and Dead End, each have an action attack and transform into a half way form like other Scout Class figures in the Cyberverse range.









Next we focus on the Warrior Class and aside from Soundwave (which appears to be a repack of his previous Cyberverse release), these are all part of the Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures subline. Here we have a new version of Bumblebee himself, a black repaint of Hot Rod (but still called Hot Rod), a new version of Megatron with a double barreled Fusion Cannon and a mace firing feature (as seen on his scout class release). Then we have the aforementioned Soundwave.











Lastly we have images of Ultra Class Bumblebee, Hot Rod and Clobber. They are all sporting the Energon Armour gimmick.













What do you think of these new images? Anything tempting you to part with your money? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

poor Lugnut. looks like Hasbro lost the rights to his name. New Tank altmode though does fit well with the character.

IT'S CLOBBER'N TIME!

Actually...thats a female version of lugnut, hence the different name so we could easily get Lugnut to pair the two up at a later date.

No, that's not Lugnut. Her name is Clobber because Lugnut is not a girl.
