Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!

If you are not being sarcastic Chuck, I would really love to know what attracts you to these and how these could be better than anything we currently have in the Generations or Studio Series line.

Megatron is Scout class size (current day legends class figure) and Shockwave is the same size as a deluxe.

And since I see some people being confused, here is what you guys are seeing:

The toys that look midtransformed (like Megatron) are all Scout class and they do not transform fully. They only go from robot mode to mid transformation. think of them as action masters with an action feature.

There are also wrrior class toys, as described above, that are simplifieddeluxe class toys with an action feature and they can go from robot to alt mode fully.

Honestly, those scouts would ROCK as McDonald's Happy Meal toys. Even if they'd cost double. However, as a mainline product? Erh…. Let's wait and see.

As for the deluxes, I'm not sure if I'll get any at all. However, DAT SHOCKWAVE is pretty dope! :BOWDOWN:

i...no. i'm sorry, but if this is the toyline that they presented for this line, cyberverse will be the first toyline that i have no intention collecting, unless they get better on the following waves.

ok, i might give a chance for that shockwave, but only him.

Good lord, this is AoE Power Attackers vs. Generations Deluxe all over again... At least the sizes are different, but come on, call out the Size Classes a bit better.

I was really looking forward to that scout BumbleBee, but now that I see It can't fully transformed, I'm really upset. I guess I'll only buy shockwave then...

What was wrong with the warrior bumblebee? He still transforms fully.

Hail Hasbro!!

With such an engaging discussion over the previous photos we posted for the Transformers Cyberverse line, we thought you would like to see more of the line. While last time we showed the warriors and scout classes, now we have images for the one steps, the ultra class and the ultimate class toys.

We also have some in hand photos for Shockwave, who is the most anticipated toy of the line. These images show us his action feature and give us our best look yet at his face where we see he has a peculiar brow. Those particular images come from Thew and Weibo user Toy Factory.

We also have in hand images of one step Soudwave thanks to TFW2005 user Shattered Trousers who compares him to the original release of the same mold. You will see there are several deco differences, with a painted face.

The rest of the images are stock images from Swedish toy retailer BR.

To sum up, here are the toys you are about to see:

Warrior Class Shockwave

Ultra Class Bumblebee, Grimlock and Starscream

Ultimate Class Optimus Prime and Megatron

1-Step Bumblebee, Soundwave and Blurr

That new looks really good. Only dwnside I see really is it's size, but it doesn't look to bad even at that size. Might pick him up, everybody else I'll probably skip.

You can check out the review embedded below, featuring comparisons with other Shockwave figures, Power of the Primes line deluxes, a look at the robot and ...vehicle mode, plus the accessory. Take a look, and let us know what you think!

Agreed. Thew's reviews (reThews?) are always highly entertaining to watch, and it's a shame that he doesn't have more subscribers.

Thew really is a great limerick master when it comes to presenting his love for TF figures :APPLAUSE:

The recent review of Transformers Cyberverse warrior Shockwave thought us that some toys in this line could be solid. Well, now we have a review for warrior Starscream which teaches us that some toys in this line can also be exactly what fans expected. Xortrider has just uploaded his review of the figure and we learn some tidbits we were all unaware of before.

For one we now know the toy's action gimmick, which is that the torso can spin when wound up. Also, we learn that his legs are on the same joint and are devoid of any articulation like knees, thigh swivel or ankle tilt (basically like G1 Jumpstarters but with an extra hip joint).

So let us know what you think? Do you think at least your kids will like this Starscream?

Enjoy the review!

That Starscream is pathetic I don't care who gives me the 'it's just for kids' argument, kids can have a toy that's decently made. You know, with a line of toys that has one steps, 3 steps, and scouts that are gimmicky, simple, and lack articulation, it make you wonder why they decided to restrict the warrior figures? Say what you want about RID have so many gimmicky toys, but at least it had a decent line of Warriors, so there's something for anybody. Here's hoping they'll get better in later waves.
