Since the Den is now put together, here is my current Cyberverse shelf!

I love seeing all that diversity in size. That Grimlock is a BEAST!

With Maccadam making a big return in Cyberverse season 3, it now makes sense why he would be prominent in this year's deluxe line by being the build a figure component. Takara release new images through their Twitter handle showing him complete and posed in various ways. Of course, we did write an article showing you what to expect from this build a figure already, and you can read that here.

The next two components will be coming out in wave 2 which consists of Grimlock and Hot Rod and there will be a third wave with Arcee and Thunderhowl.

I really ought to get into this particular line. I wouldn't mind having a Macaddam/Alchemist Prime/Thew action figure.

I've only gotten the build-a-bot figures because all the others were just a little too simplified for my tastes.

The build-a-bot figures though are good figures, more suited for a more mature (for lack of a better description) collection, plus you get the awesomeness that is Maccadam.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm excited for the Maccadam parts. At least once I get Grimlock and Hot Rod I can have him standing on his own 2 legs. Ugh impatient to finish him

[Sabrblade]

The timing of Takara posting those images couldn't be more perfect.

[Rodimus Knight]

It would have been nice if they'd given us his shoulders before his fists though, just to decrease the chances of accidentally losing the fists before getting the shoulders.

Agreed with this, the parts spread wasn't very good, you gotta hold onto a forearm for like 8 months and another for 4 months

[Tigerhawk7109]

Sweet!

I’m not a customizer, but I would love to take one of the versions of Prime Bulkhead and repaint him in those colors

Emgo's review of Ultra Class Rack-N-Ruin!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I opened up Hot Rod and Grimlock today, and I've got some mixed feelings on them.

Let's start with Grimlock. He is a solid and fun figure, with a nice tail transformation, and a certain style about his robot mode that is super cool. But he feels, I don't know, stunted? I have the Ultimate figure, and I actually prefer him to the new deluxe. Posing isn't too much better, and he is so much smaller. The ultimate feels like the far better deal. But the deluxe isn't bad, just not quite to par. I would say he's the 2nd best deluxe of the line.

And then there's Hot Rod. Gosh they did him dirty. He needed so much more paint, it's embarrassing how bland he is, He needed so much more yellow. The flame effects are about the only thing that don't suffer from the lack of paint, and are about the coolest thing about him. The transformation is also underwhelming, 2nd only to Shockwave in terms of being lame. Car mode is cool, but again, paint. He is the first figure in a while where I feel the figure is pretty awful paint wise. It's bad, and it pulls him down really far.

Bee easily remains the best deluxe of the line so far. And at least Maccadam can stand on his own 2 legs. I really want the biceps now

Those are simply adorable! I have to hunt down that Arcee and the insecticon.

[Ballistic90]

These... are a lot more impressive than I would have thought for the size of these things. Arcee looks like a highlight here.

That's probably why she's got the most pictures.
I'd like to get the arcee and stealth hot rod myself.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

To go with my thoughts on Hot Rod and Grimlock yesterday, here are a few pictures:

[Gauntlet101010]

Arcee does look nice.

Just got the build-a-figure Rodimus to go in my Hot Rod collection. I'm pleasantly surprised. It's a nice, solid figure. Although one of the legs isn't very stable after one transformation and it suffers from a lack of paint apps.

The Transformers: Cyberverse TV show may be winding down but there are still some toys on the horizon for fans of the series to enjoy. While it has been awhile since any news came through on when to expect the "Battle Call" sub-line with its Officer Class and Trooper Class figures on the shelves, it looks like these toys are one step closer to being in the hands of kids and collectors. Via listings on Amazon US, Amazon UK and UK wholesaler A.B. Gee, stock images are available of the first wave of Officer Class figures, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. A.B. Gee also has a listing for the Trooper Class figures, featuring Wild Wheel, Meteorfire and another Bumblebee.

Check out the images mirrored below, which begin with Officer Class Bumblebee, and be sure to let us know if you find these toys available to order or on store shelves in your area.

Meh.

Wait....

Dafok?

Wildwheel?

Wild Wheel, while kinda cheap looking, looks nice, and I appreciate his stetson being removable. Probably be the only one I get, and I’d kill for a dark blue, 19th-century US Army Cavalry themed redeco. Still curious how the armor thing works. I know it’s voice activated but how does it pop out?

[Sabrblade]

Forgot all about these.

Are these the only assortments in which Steve Irwin and Clint Eastwood will be available?

You may not want to hear this, but the spring-loaded armor is only on the bigger Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, with the rest simply being attached (look at the fins on the shoulders). According to the box, the lights on the figures and sounds on the bigger Prime and 'Bee are voice-activated, but the armors are not. It's possible there are different sounds depending on whether the armor is deployed or not (like a button being kept pressed), but I can't find any clues to that.

Well that makes a lot more sense. Not really disappointed, still wanting Wild Wheel, don’t plan on anyone else (unless they do Decepticons that haven’t gotten figures yet).

Also, forgot about Meteorfire. Robot mode ain’t bad, but Jesus Christ that jet mode is less aerial dynamic than friggin’ Devastator.

Good thing there's no wind resistance in space.
