Why the big chins again Hasbro? It's one of the biggest things I really disliked about Animated and Prime.

Haven't year heard?

Pass on these but that Grimlock at least has a better, less blocky design than the awful PotP figure.

Allow me to guess some comments that will be all:

HOW DARE THEY MAKE A TRANSFORMERS LINE AIMED AT CHILDREN?

Still, I'd get a few myself. It will depend on reviews, sales or not, and the good old impulse buy. One thing for sure is I'll get the Warrior Starscream, Bee, Optimus, and Megatron. To have them in their new look without spending too much display space.

I'm going to want that Shockwave, I think!

Me too. That 4 legged Mechwarior mode is adorable and a first for the character.

I'm going to match your "HOW DARE THEY MAKE A TRANSFORMERS LINE AIMED AT CHILDREN?" with a "THEY'RE ALIEN ROBOTS THAT HAVE FOUGHT FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS! THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ADORABLE!"

I just had an horrible thought. Imagine if the Transformers have the same "bug" in their brain as us human. The one that make time go faster and faster as we get older..... The effect is exponential too.

How can you tell? Nothing looks out of place to me.

We talking about this?

Given the detailing on the arms and the tank turret, either image is flipped.

No, there will be a constant movie line as well, so that makes 2 non G1 lines.

Oh, yeah, THAT. So other than the preschool line, the choices are between "this is getting really redundant" and "don't even talk to me about the movies, just don't". :roll:

I think it will be w while before there's another genius libne like Prime. Both in fiction and toy design.

If ever. The RiD2015 Warrior Class was the closest thing we got to that.

As it stands now, what we consider the "Traditional" Size Classes is now limited to just Generations-style lines including Movie offshoots like the Studio Series, for old farts like us older kids, with the clear intention of keeping them separate from the other lines.

Not fair I tell ya :-(

As the initial images and coverage of New York Toy Fair 2018 have passed, we now have the time to delve into some high-definition, closer looks at the Hasbro showroom in the Times Center, part of the full event but separate from the Javits Center where the Fair is taking place over the weekend.

This first gallery, then, brings together the toys and products that will form the upcoming Transformers: Cyberverse line, which will follow the animated series currently in production with Hasbro and Boulder Media - from our panel recap: 'the story of Autobots and Decepticons, their origins, teammates thrugh the perspective of Bumblebee. Animation style looks to be a mix between Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise.'

For the toyline, we're expecting on the Decepticon side Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave and new character Shadow Striker; on the Autobot side Optimus, Windblade, Bumblebee, Grimlock - all of which will feature the Action Attack gimmick, as described in the official blurb below, to accompany the official images. Take a look at a sample of the images in the gallery, and head here for the full works before joining the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Born from insights as to what kids want from our animation, our new animated series launching Fall 2018,
TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE is a vehicle to illuminate the core characters and the big picture story beats that lie at the heart of all Transformers storytelling, while extending that story in exciting new directions. TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE will deepen the understanding of the franchise’s key characters and make them recognizable by highlighting who those characters are and establishing clear and ownable personalities, roles on the team and signature moves.

Our TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE product line featuring our new Action Attacker product innovation celebrates each character’s signature moves in a more than meets the eye way – through conversion! Each character in the line can convert to activate their signature move – the last step of conversion will activate this feature action attack.

Scout Class and Warrior Class activate their signature move in robot mode, Ultra Class activates in vehicle mode, and Ultimate Class activates in both modes. Each SKU across the TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE action attacker line offers a different way to activate this action attack across different scales

^ Frankly, I find that GIF more repugnant than anything in the photos above it. :SICK:

I want ALL the Cyberverse figures, these look really fun.

This piece of news from the New York Toy Fair aftermath is entirely thanks to Transformers Twitter, as users The Last Gherkin, Jalaguy and original source of the image TFU.info combined their efforts to provide the best resolution of the tidbit - but what we have thanks to them is a first look at the female Decepticon character due to appear in the animated Cyberverse series from Hasbro and Boulder Media: Shadow Striker!

You can see artwork of her on the side of the Cyberverse Megatron box, which we do have in our own galleries, but not as visible as the further images mirrored below.

Take a look, and let us know what you think of the design so far, and join the discussion in the Energon Pub!

I kind of wish she had more in common colorwise with G1 Shadow Striker, but either way, more fembots are a good thing.

Posted: **Mon Feb 19, 2018 4:35 am**

Is she Animated Blitzwing's sister?

Posted: **Mon Feb 19, 2018 8:56 am**

Hasbro please don't screw up this next series. :HASBRO:

Should've pointed out that the animated series thread is over here, for those interested!
