Hasbro's Official Transformers website has been updated with new Cyberverse entries for:

Legion Class:
  • Decepticon Flamewar
  • Hyperspeed Wheeljack
  • Quickblade Bumblebee

Commander Class:
  • Ultra Magnus
  • Nightwatch Optimus Prime

Official images and bios can be found below or by visiting Hasbro's Official Transformers Website.

Decepticon Flamewar

DECEPTICON FLAMEWAR has spent years preparing for the final battle against the AUTOBOT ARCEE. She has studied every one of her enemy’s moves, and devised a strategy to counter it. Now she waits, her weapons ready, for the unwary AUTOBOT to wander into her trap. She stalks the Earth at the orders of the DECEPTICON leader MEGATRON, but every diabolical move she makes is carefully planned to draw her web ever tighter around AUTOBOT ARCEE.

Hyperspeed Wheeljack

Few DECEPTICONS have ever heard of WHEELJACK, but that’s mostly because those that do learn about him don’t last long. He is one of the most devastating special operations commandos ever trained by the AUTOBOTS. He strikes from the shadows with speed and overwhelming force, and then fades away into space. Nowhere in the universe is safe. If you’re a DECEPTICON, and WHEELJACK is on your trail, you better start saving your Energon chips for some repairs.

Quickblade Bumblebee

When you specialize in fighting at close quarters using an Energon blade, speed is essential. The DECEPTICON ranks are full of top-notch melee fighters – robots who have spent years honing their skills in the use of fist and blade. MEGATRON places a bounty on some of the more formidable AUTOBOTS, which many DECEPTICONS eagerly seek. That’s why BUMBLEBEE trains constantly to be the fastest thing on four wheels. His reflexes – and his ultra-sharp blade – are the only things standing between the DECEPTICONS and victory.

Ultra Magnus

As the commander of the most elite AUTOBOT special forces unit ever assembled, you’d expect ULTRA MAGNUS to be just about one of the most unstoppable warriors this side of the galactic core. You’d be right.

Image

Image

Nightwatch Optimus Prime

OPTIMUS PRIME is not built for stealth, but long years of fighting have taught him that some skills are worth learning. Sometimes, a frontal assault is the wrong move. When it’s time for a sneak attack, the AUTOBOT leader is one of the most dangerous silent warriors around.

"As the commander of the most elite AUTOBOT special forces unit ever assembled"

sounds like Magnus is the Wreckers' boss. Nice.

hope it means he'll show up on the toon at some point.

Spellchecker doesn't recognize Hyperspeed or Magnus, but thanks for pointing to out none the less.

So, "QUICKblade Bumblebee", you say...

I see they're giving future shelfwarmers ironic names now. Clever.

Flamewar? Amazing, now I can happily skip CV Arcee. (and it comes with a recolor of Vehicon's gun, I love that thing)

Individual release of Wheeljack? Also great! I have no intention of picking up the Jackhammer, so I'm glad they decided to do this...shame it comes with BB's stupid gun though. =_=; Honestly, I'd rather have another scalpel than another stinger-gun, but oh well.

I really like CV Magnus, but I want to wait to get a better look at the Voyager to decide which I'll snag.

This makes me wonder if they'll do an individual release of Knock Out?

This may be an Elite Guard reference. However, either way, I am also hoping to see some Magnus in Prime. (Wow....that sounds like the start of a terrible slash fic......)

It could also harken back to his days as a Wrecker leader in the G1 comics or Dreamwave comics. (I know I probably got it wrong, so if you know more about Magnus' past then I do, please feel free to correct me.) Regardless, love that he comes with his hammer from Animated :)

I love that they're making more fembots. I also love that it's a rather obscure character like Flamewar...and that they're making her from Arcee's mold, just like with the original Flamewar. Now how hard would it be to make a deluxe Flamewar from Arcee's RID mold? Or the First Edition mold, like they're doing with Slipstream/Starscream.

Flamewar and Ultra Magnus will be mine!

wheeljack & flamewar look cool but since the price of legends went up im going to have to pass. Hasbro needs to either lower their prices back down to normal or put out some more coupons, normally TFs fly off the shelves around here but since the price hikes the selection has not changed in months.

Price hike? They're still $5 most places around here...though they're $5.98 at Walmart for some reason. o_O

Flamewar is the one I am looking forward to from this wave
the rest are interesting but not compelling

I think this WJ looks better than the one included in the Jerk-hammer. I'm gonna pass on Flamwar in hopes that HasTak does the right thing and produce a deluxe class version...'nuff said! :VEHI:

Not digging Flamewar's "obsessed with defeating Arcee" bio. Make an evil recolor of one character, and then give her a bio as the sworn enemy of said character. Might as well call her "Nemesicee" :roll:

Still, I'd get a Deluxe version of her.

Quickblade BB and Hyperspeed WJ are passes.

Love the subtle reference to Ultra Magnus commanding the Wreckers. 8) I'll take the Voyager, though.

Nightwatch OP is another pass.

It's a Wreckers reference. Ultra Magnus is the leader of the Aligned continuity Wreckers.

Marvel UK had him more as their boss rather than their leader (meaning that he wasn't a member, but did oversee them). Dreamwave did have him be leader at some point, though. ;)^

I think it's utterly hilarious that Wheeljack looks like a Prime version of Marlboor (Diaclone) Wheeljack, after all of the issues with Reprolabels not touching Upgrade Marlboor sets with a 10 foot pole... :HEADHURTS:

THANK YOU!

I read through the whole post and no one had mentioned the Marlboor nod.

I love Wheeljack, and will be getting bot this version and the one with the Jack Hammer.

Only one new Bumblebee? I'm disappointed. This line should have been Wheelblaze Bumblebee, Raceway Bumblebee, Quickblade Bumblebee, Hammer Strike Bumblebee and Lonely Truck Stop Bumblebee. THEN maybe I'd be interested >:oP

You know how many figures have "battle damage"? Similar to that, except instead of scars and scrapes it's just shame.
