I really love that bug guy.
Damn, there's so much win in this line.

But... but... I'm a SERIOUS, passionate, RRRREEEEAAAAALLLLLL collector. I shouldn't like these. Rrrrriiiiiiight?

This may be the line I'll be buying the most from this year.
No joke.

I don’t know about the line in general, but I’m loving that Insecticon

[Bumblevivisector]

There's something I love about Mirage's new Quinjet (is that what they're going for?) mode. Or maybe it's supposed to look like Courageous, the Guardian GoBot Power Warrior?

The Skybite-mobile is just so adorable, I may have to bite.

And as big a mess as that Grimlock is, I kind of like the idea that he turns into a throne/power-loader for Optimus Prime that looks like it could eat him. A play pattern intended to homage conflicts the two have had over the generations? And could making Grimlock and Scorpinok counterparts be an homage to Maximum Dinobots?

Not sure I'll end up buying anything from this line until I find it on clearance, but I'll certainly watch every tiny episode ASAP!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Honestly, a lot of cool stuff here, and stuff I feel I can enjoy with my daughter.

Elita-1 as a Riptide pretool is awesome, glad we might finally see him!

[Dino-Snarl]

If they do a G1 recolour of that scorponok we are all in. He looks great. Kids are going to love these!

[gothsaurus]

It cracks me up that based on articulation and general look of each toy… You could never guess what size class any of them are. Each one could literally be 1 inch or 1 foot in size. I thought Scorponok was a deluxe until I saw these photos.

I wish that was true for everything in life.

[Kyleor]

I'm getting heavy 'Temu/Wish Transforming Toy' vibes from this whole line.

[chuckdawg1999]

Remember when Hasbro revealed the studio series line and then surprised us with wave 1 being in stock on Hasbro pulse ready to ship then and there? Kind of wish they did that with Cyberworld.

Yeah, thats what I think too

To be perfectly honest, I think this line is a breath of fresh air. This has the potential to kind of refresh the franchise a bit. This is definitely a kid oriented line with simple engineering and transformations, sure. But I think if the collectors can get past the limited articulation and simplicity, and perhaps their own (for lack of thinking of a better word)-Prejudices against kid lines, I think they will find some really fun ideas here. I absolutely love the G2 Megatron look on that Hound. It's a clever reuse in my opinion. The fresh new takes on established characters are nice. Not everything is good per say but no line ever in the franchise has been perfect. That bigger optimus, in my view is terrible. BUT that second Optimus that has the off-road pickup look is really cool. I can't help but get a Landcross vibe from him. I don't understand the mold choice for Mirage but it does look good as Starscream. I love the off-road bumblebee alt mode design. Sky-Byte is fun. Scorponok is big and beautiful. Someone else mentioned his repaints and I would be all in for them.
There's a lot of really nice creativity here. And if the line catches on a bit I think there could be even more oddball designs and repaints coming.
For several years now I have been really focusing my collection on the Generations G1 cast and strictly new characters from other lines such as Earthspark and Cyberverse. Last "kid line" I went all in on was RID 15. I bought all the warrior class figures and while yes, they were simplified compared to Prime they were still really good designs and figures.

I also can't help but see this line as a "catch all" for Hasbro. Take a bunch of designs that were intended for other lines and mix them together into one big line. That off road bee sure seems to fit the Reactivate Bee look for example.

To be perfectly honest, I think this line is a breath of fresh air.

I dismiss the elitist opinion about how "awful" and "useless" this line is. They tend to forget that G1, after the initial Diaclone reuses, was all about experimenting with weird and fun gimmicks.

So, lines like these are indeed essential for Transformers to keep fresh and to experiment with new gimmicks and characters.

I can't wait to get my hands on most, if not all of the Cyberworld toys.

[Collector Canine]

Cyberworld looks super fun. Definitely excited for Sky-Byte and Elita.

[-Kanrabat-]

Scorponok is now on preorder at amazon.ca.

https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/G1659/dp/B0D ... QcnrU67rZJ

His price is just a 5/10$CAN above the leader price. I don't know how huge he will be, but I find the figure pretty exiting. I preordered my copy.

[Collector Canine]

My Amazon preorder from Grimlock had its release date move from the end of the month to the 17th... guess we'll see what happens.

[william-james88]

Some Transformers Cyberworld toys are coming in early, like the Chomp & Battle Grimlock. Chuckdawg1999 got his hands on one so we have a review for you below. It should be said though that this is a figure meant to interact with other figures, like the configuration with Optimus Prime. So since the other figures are not out, that whole aspect isn't shown.

This is a fun figure, but I wish some of the other figures were released at the same time to really take advantage of all the features.

[Collector Canine]

Yeah, my Cyberworld Grimmy arrived on Wednesday. Posted tons of pics all over the internet already, Fun toy!

[-Kanrabat-]

The chances that I buy that Grimlock are low... That is, unless it is 50% off so that I can customise it into Beast Megatron.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I wish that Scorponok at least had some sort of leg movement, it just continues to be cool

Meh, I'm forgiving it for the huge, gimmick filled nonsense that he is.

[Sabrblade]

In Demand Toys got some publicity stock photos for this line and one of them shows us our first look at Wheeljack's toy and... he's kinda bizarre, even for this line. He looks more Jazz simply colored like Wheeljack, complete with his helmet colored like Jazz's (with black painted around the ears so it looks like a Jazz/Wheeljack fusion helmet) and a front-bumper chest.

He doesn't even have a wacky new altmode that leans into the "fun" of the line like Megatron, Snarl, and others do. He's just "Wheeljack, but he's shaped like Jazz for some reason".




There are more pics in the link, but these two are the ones with Wheeljack.

Yeti Hound is such an exciting prospect

[Dino-Snarl]

Just want Scorpie.

[LE0KING]

I don't understand why they purposely limit the articulation on these. If they all had elbows and knees I'd probably buy most of them. But as is, they are all passes.
