What does POTS stand for?
Power of the Spark

Oh right, I stick to calling them Spark Armour since that name reffers to these armoured figures while POTS reffers to the rebranding of the entire cyberverse line, including one steps and such.

This cross compatibility will not make this any easier, dang it!

At least get that Jetfire and Skybyte. Because they are characters you dont have in that favourite scale of yours and because both have that nice Japanese origin (one from Macross while the other from Car Robots, which took from beast Wars, so you'd be supporting both beasts and Japanese initiatives all at once). PLUS, with Skybyte you get another Transformers themed borrowing vehicle, and I am sure you can find a way to fashion a drill arm/hand, something else you can't resist.

I kid you not Coban, when I saw these pics, I thought of you right away. It's literally everything you like, the god of toys was looking down favourably on you.

I KNOW!!! I KNOW!!! My blessing and my curse is 5mm P&P. Imagine the fun I could have with these and Microman! Prowl has my eye, as well as Skybyte.

I have not seen these with my own eyes yet (and honestly I've been conciously avoiding them). So they are Scout/Commander/Legends scale? :BOOM:

Now I am hurt, deeply. Because this means you did not see my reviews. However, I will give it a pass since I will assume that, like me, you purposefully avoided knowing more of a toy you might like as to not obsess over it.

Spoiler, they are a size that really speak to you.

True fans would just buy a bigger house. >:oP

And then not have any money left over to fit out the collection room.

I think they fit! I'm thinking Cheetor will either end up there or on my Beast shelf. But he works for the RiD guys.

And you don't need to get all! They aren't that big, so getting 1 or 2 as a sample would probably suffice!

Well dammit, I didn't even get to give you the advice to buy before you did!

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 we have a new review for Transformers Cyberverse One Step Changers Shockwave and Sky-Byte! I wish I could say it better, but nope, Chuck nailed it:
"Ro-Bo Shark do do do do do. Ro-Bo Shark do do do do do! Cyberverse has given a couple of great figures to round out our One-Step ranks, Shockwave and Sky Byte! Shockwave features a pressure launched blast gimmick, with nice fireblast detailing; while Sky Byte has a fun spinning tail. What impressed me the most was the new transformation gimmicks, it's nice to see Hasbro pushing forward in that direction. Both figures would make great desk toys and are highly recommended."

Enjoy the view and share your thoughts with the Seibertron crew in the forums. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Spark was needed to round out Speed, Firepower, Strength and Intelligence. How else do you expect them to summon Captain Primus?

Found another new one in my area (Virginia), at a Target spotted Megatron with Chopper Cut. Have to say this line is tempting on a few of them.

Kinda tempted -

News Credits: 1642 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Wed Aug 14, 2019 7:02 pm

Get one, give it a try. they are pretty alright!

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Wed Aug 14, 2019 7:17 pm

That’s what I am afraid of, getting one, then going back to get a couple more. Seeing OP with the Ark makes it tempting as well, along with the Ultimate Grimlock.

They are awesome though!

I became ok with not getting Ark Prime when i saw he has literally no leg joints. i think he can do the splits and that is it, no forward or backward motion.

I'm still debating Grimlock, he looks really cool

News Credits: 3 · by **SGMLordMirage** » Wed Aug 14, 2019 7:42 pm

I can see that, I think more for me, it is just seeing him in the package but in reality as you stated, he is pretty much limited.
Grimlock, yes he looks bad _ss!

News Credits: 4835 · by **william-james88** » Wed Aug 14, 2019 8:56 pm

Grimlock has one hell of a badass presence. The toy itself is fine, but the design and size is quite imposing.

Alright you have sparked my interest.

I want to see that drill drone on Siege Impactor.

Just saw that the tiny turbo change Grimlock also has that cool comic headsculpt with the teeth design faceplate

Greetings and happy Thursday fellow Seibertronians! The Transformers madness of 2019 continues and today we have a few Cyberverse sightings at US retail. Several reports have come in from various members of their local Targets stocking Mace Mash Gnaw, Sneak Strike Deadlock, and the cuddly carnivorous Saw Tooth Scraplet! Keep your eyes peeled (the Scraplet can probably help with a proper eye peeling) at your local Targets and happy hunting out there!

Check out the sighting images below and also the stock images of Drift: it's of note that Deadlock and Drift are different molds and not just remolds/retools/repaints of the other.

Make sure to share your retail wins and woes in the forum and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!
