Two new additions to the Cyber Slammer toy line will be available in Wave 4. We will be getting Jazz, which is a new mold, and Cliffjumper, a repaint of BumbleBee Concept Camaro. Click here to see the listing on Entertainment Earth.

Has any one bought the first ones. I mean they look great for little little kids...

But these and the tech toys are the only ones you can ever count on finding.

And on a side note, I'm sure somewhere, Magnus is going up to CliffJumper saying "I know, it sucks"

Yay! More Slammers! I'll definately pick up the Jazz one, I love that Solstice mode, it'll look adorable all super-deformed and stuff...

The Decepticons need more Cyber Slammer love though... Where's Megatron and Bonecrusher?!

I agree that these Cyberslammers (and the Tech/real gears) are the shelfwarmers of the line. Why make more?

I'm ashamed to say that as a completist I did, though they do remind me of another line of robots I had as a kid (and still have), Ertl Powertrons:

Yeah, what's up with that? Ultra Magnus has at least a little basis as to why most of his figures are just a repainted Prime. However, that's not how he was ever portrayed(save one issue). And I know it's been used before, but it just fits the situation perfect:

It is getting annoying with Cliffjumper though. He was obviously never a repaint of Bumblebee. They could at least remold the head. You know why I think the Season 3 Mini-bots are awsome? Cause they all had new chests/heads/faces, arms in the case of Outback, and even a slight alt. mode variation in the case of Hubcap. Would a new face be that hard to make, or that expensive? Heck, the Season 2 Seekers benefited as being more than just repaints in my opinion because of the new parts.

And deluxes do seem to be the only thing seling in the movie line(well, that and voyagers and possibly leaders). Real Gear, movie helmets, Cyber Slammers, Fast Action Battlers, whatever else is out there, shelf warmers for the most part.

Oops, I misread his post. I thought he said "But these and the tech toys are the only ones you CAN'T ever count on finding."

impulse buy. They become impulse buys for fans needing immediate TF goodness.

Are Slammers the big-feet guys?

It's all good everyone.

And hey, for what it's worth, guess what all the kids I know 4 and under are getting for Christmas!?!

I love these figures, so worth the $10 or whatever for them.
They keep all my younger relatives entertained so they don't mess around with my actual collection!

That and with some play-doh you can make them bloody adorable!
