These days being a Walmart exclusive in the US is only slightly better than being a US TRU exclusive.

Don't count on it. Lately, only the Optimuses for little kids deserves a trailer.
A bunch of Cogs can give Siege Optimus a trailer.

The is a lot coming down the Cyberverse pipeline and with the current idea of having several toys of different sizes/classes for the same characters, it can get very confusing, especially sicne there is no sense of scale in these images. So we will break it down for you.

Below you will find images of:

One Steps: Bumblebee, Prowl, Megatron, Optimus Prime

Warrior: Soundwave, Prowl and Hotrod. All of these have action features, such as Hotrod's flip out flames and Lazerbeak coming out of Soundwave's chest.

Ultra: Optimus Prime and Slipstream. These are voyager sized.

Ultimate: Bumblebee. This is leader sized. He has a great looking alt mode.

A lot of these toys look real mediocre, but that Soundwave looks great. I'll be picking him up for sure. I hope that Laserbeak is a sepreate piece, and not fixed in his chest. ;)^

Also, I can I just comment on how horrible the vehicle mode is on that 1 step Optimus. I've never seen worse vehicle kibble on a transformer in my life. Also didn't they just release a 1 step Prime? What's the need for another one? :BANG_HEAD:

Nope, fixed to the chest.

Warrior Prowl looks decent, at least.

How do you know. Do you have any images of the gimmick in action?

Wow, those all look horrible. No wonder I had a hard time picking a transformer for a 5 year old this year. Sheesh

All action gimmicks are fixed, here is a render he comes out in bird mode:

Look, you can always hope that it is detachable, but I am sure it aint.

Thanks. Hmm... yeah it looks like your right. That's a shame, but it's not a huge deal breaker.

The boots of Bee look hollow.Prowl is another Jazz variante with bad feet.Hotrod has a stupid tail and a small head.Splitstream is kind of anorexique,the best overall.

Not a fan of Ultra OP's hands, to be honest. Why couldn't they have designed him so that the front panels can just fold over to the side?

A better question:did they ever thought about removable back pack?Maybe with extra tool.

Yes,with TLK Barricade.

I think all of these look great.

News Credits: 30 · by **DeathReviews** » Tue Dec 11, 2018 8:28 pm

I'm afraid the Cyberverse line just isn't doing anything for me. Haven't felt motivated to collect any of them so far. The only thing I think I've felt is a slight degree of resentment that they're taking up so much shelf space that stores don't seem in any hurry to get the Siege figures on the shelves.

Liking Ultra Class Slipstream, as well as Warrior Prowl.

News Credits: 6 · by **TulioDude** » Tue Dec 11, 2018 8:34 pm

Consifering that not much time ago,most didnt even transform into vehicles,these are big step up.
They look fun.

I'm fine with Prowl, reminds me a lot of the Cyber Battalion figure. Soundwave looks OK in bot mode if you forget about the gimmick, but I just now noticed that thanks to his transformation he has a second unpainted chest on his legs. :-?

that first picture of optimus prime the truck mode at least doesnt look like the front of a transit bus like the ultimate one does

by **noctorro** » Wed Dec 12, 2018 1:43 am

Wow! I am loving this man.

Voyager (ehm, Ultra) Optimus looks solid. Easy to transform, no fake chestery going on. I'll 3d print a gun for him, done!

Slipstream looks great! Love that she got a completely new body and not just a simple retool like before. Love the fact she has lipstick and the colors are great. So that's a must, really want her.

Hot Rod looks like a beef monkey. Like a He-Man barbarian style toy.
But I like him, I don't think he has elbow joints. But will pick him up, I'm a sucker for the Hot Rod colors.

Prowl looks like a cool easy to transform Car Robot. A must for me, hope he gets 2 repaints to Bluestreak, Smokescreen. And put a different head on it and call him Jazz I'd be okay.

Soundwave looks exceptionally nice. Lovint the head sculpt. Robot mode looks good, better than the RID we got last time. A Must as well.
Vehicle mode is a bit underpainted. I loke the sentry gun thing on the top.

I'm liking this line more than the previous RID line. Maybe because of the Energon like simplicity (soooo tired of the Movie line).
And all look very G1'ish. I'm happy here
