It looks like Laserbeak put on some weight and got his big butt stuck inside Soundwave. Looking less like a condor and more like a chicken. Time for a New Year's resolution diet to get rid of that excess badonkadonk.

Yea, and looks like a skinned raw chicken is coming out of the oven.



If SIEGE's effect parts would fit on his shoulder cannons

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Oh hey, it's Discount Universe Prowl!

[primalxconvoy]

It looks like Laserbeak can't be removed?

Regardless, with that colour scheme for Laserbeak...

Was gonna say the same thing. Is that Soundwave's new alt-mode now? An oven? Eh, still probably a better alt-mode than a tape-deck these days since most folk still use ovens.

These toys... they look pretty lousy. I dunno. Maybe they're more fun to play with than look at. One step and flip and change thingies were pretty poor looking but I could understand the quick transform appeal for younger folk.

If so they can retool him into Helex (DJD).

Warriors look OK, nothing exciting. Ultimate Bumblebee would be pretty nice if not for the gimmick taking over his arm.

BTW, been playing around with Ultimate Optimus and he really isn't a terrible figure. He isn't a particularly good figure, but he does have some interesting features that he probably didn't have to have like the folding panels on his shoulders and the panel under his feat that forms the sides of the truck. Plus he has a TON of paint on the cab. His chest doors are clear blue and mostly painted over along with large spring-loaded portion of the top of the truck. All for the sake of having clear windows. I also like the atypical leg transformation so his toes aren't sticking out the back. I'm sure we've seen that before, but I can't think when. And I'm digging the low profile truck mode, it's wide and low. Shame the gimmick is annoying as all hell and likes to pop out if you accidentally hit the button or just barely tap the top of the truck. Still, if you like the cartoon and can find one on sale then go for it.

Some already beat me to the chest burster.


Looks like a fun gimmick and is that the Soundwave with that sweet mural?

Nah Cary, the mural Soundwave us part of the Bumblebee Movie line

Ha, jeez and thanks. I can't keep track of all these toys. Guess you newsies need to do a "all the Soundwave toys of 2019" article

I remember seeing the pop-o-matic chest minion gimmick somewhere and thought it was cool and fitting of the character and the line wide gimmick. Both Cyberverse and the Bee toys have very fun toy gimmicks.

Whelp, I guess that's two C-list Soundwaves I'll be considering

[Rodimus Knight]

In this case, Lazerbeak popping out of Soundwave makes me think of the chest bursters from Aliens.

[TheAmazingBrave]

I can't keep my self from seeing Soundwave and Lazerbeak as a Cuckoo clock now.

i'm so let down by the warriors. How did we go from the awesomeness of RiD to this so quickly? Shockwave, Windblade, and Prowl are really the only 2 of the class to work out at all

They are meant for an even younger audience than the R.i.D. toys so don't complain. They are not meant for you
Just get the Generations toys.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

I don't know how relevant this is, but last time I was at Walmart I saw they started putting some Cyberverse toys on Clearance already; specifically the half-transforming Scout Class. Going back there tonight to see what's really up, but this could not bode well for the line.

I've seen some of the Ultras on clearance as well, but not Shockwave.

In whose right mind thought that those would be a good idea or even be selling well?

I know that, but at the same time, RiD was meant more for little kids, but its warriors still kicked butt. I wish they had kept that frame of mind

Me too. Some if those transformarions and designs were more originsl than what we were getting in the generations line. What I find crazy is that its the same Hasbro team behind both toylines.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

They've obviously been set different design targets.

[ZeroWolf]

They've obviously been set different design targets.

And budgets I'd reckon

[Emerje]

Warrior Windblade and Ultra Shockwave show some signs of being from the same team at least. Ultimate Optimus Prime isn't terrible, he feels a lot like a Cyber Battalion figure and worth picking up if you can get him on sale. Ultra Grimlock isn't great, but I do like his clever transformation and T-rex mode.

The newest releases for the Warrior class in the Transformers Cyberverse line have arrived at North American retail! This time it's Warrior Class Prowl and Hot Rod. This sighting comes to us by fellow Seibertron user, and the voice behind Soundwave and Shockwave in the smash hit Transformers Bumblebee movie, jON 3.0!



Jon informs us that the sighting was made at a Walmart in the Los Angeles area, so these should and could be hitting shelves near you now!

Happy hunting folks!

Will you be adding these to your collection? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

[Nathaniel Prime]

I bet kids will have a blast with these, cuz they are selling like hotcakes here. I'm only interested in Soundwave and the more articulated(ultra?) Shockwave. They look cool. But, I will save my money for both Siege Megatron and SS38 Bumblebee Prime. Those are needs right now

[Sabrblade]

I'm only interested in Soundwave and the more articulated(ultra?) Shockwave.

Both the Warrior and Ultra class toys for Shockwave are pretty well articulated (compared to the rest of the line, that is).
