Another factor is that Siege figures are actually underpriced from what the rrp is. Though I remember the days when we complained when the rrp was just £15. Ah economics you're a harsh mistress.

I loved the first season of the show, thought S2 was nowhere near as focused (effectively another issue with the toys!), and really couldn't care about the bartender even as a completest lol

The price is whatever people are willing to pay. A Siege Deluxe just doesn't look impressive in a small box in a massive store, and I honestly don't rate the hype about plastic being expensive when they can include chunky painted BAF parts for free and are producing the most obscure characters in Marvel Legends, for instance. Who'll do nothing but warm pegs.

That's the reason the boxes are enormous for this new line relative to the figure. And my local Tesco can't even shift a Prime/Starscream Cyberverse 2 pack at £10 to the likes of an addict like me lol

Well, it's only as good as the vendor selling the items, so that's on Hasbro not Google. I've used Google Shopping once before and had no issue from some rando I've never heard of. Not sure if Google has your back if things go amiss.

I have gone into the Cyberverse.

So far, they are not too bad! full confession: I would have only bought Bumblebee if it weren't for Maccadam. It's going to be agony waiting to finish him.

Bee is pretty sweet, I love the design, and there is some great paint work here.

Prime feels a bit light, but I love the paint and the gun.

Megatron is pretty good too. The cannon and head are pretty sweet, and I love the tank mode.

Shockwave is a bit weak, I don't like the hose and the lack of angry eye is saddening.

Yeah the paint on Bee and prime (and shockwave) is pretty great. As for shockwave, do you at least find him ot be the best cyberverse shockwave so far?

I ust got Bee yesterday and I think its a great toy. It's the deluxe Bee many fans were hoping for once upon a time but I think have lost interest now due to a reset in scale. I think it's the best deluxe bee we ever got, beating out classics, RID and even Prime. What do you think?

I'm incredulous. Surely you're not saying the first edition figure? :-?

I am. I am also not sure. It does beat it out in articulation and I preffer the face sculpt. I also prefer the transformation.

Well well, now I feel like I need to get my hands on this new Bee in town. For me there are few retail figures that surpass the FE figures from Prime. I'm pretty biased though.

He is the only Cyberverse Shockwave I have gotten, and that stupid hose sucks. That is holding him back for me. it is in the way.

Best Deluxe Bee? I would probably disagree, but only slightly. He is fantastic, but there are 1 or 2 movie Bees I would place over him.

We posted pictorial reviews for the much anticipated deluxe Optimus Prime and Shockwave from Cyberverse already but of course pictures don't convey the transformation. To cover that part, Chuckdawg1999 has video reviews of these two toys.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Shockwave is a good deluxe figure but I feel it falls short when compared to Bumblebee and Megatron. My one big issue is the neon-pink rubber cable that connects the large cannon to the backpack; it's way too stiff out of the box and even after working it can still limit arm articulation. Overall, Shockwave is a solid purchase but I would recommend the other figures in the wave first.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:While I was hoping that Optimus Prime would be the best figure of the first four, it ends up falling somewhere in the middle due to incredibly loose joints that make a fun transformation finicky. The included Ion Blaster while small, features quite a bit of detail but I feel the Matrix is where the included blast effect will spend most of its time. Overall, this is a solid figure but not the home run that I was hoping for.

The first wave of Transformers Cyberverse Ultra Class Energon Armor figures has been found in Canada. imfallenangel over at Cybertron.ca reported seeing Ultra Class Energon Armor Clobber at a Toysrus in Ontario. This fan also took images of the figure. It seem the armor is a pop up gimmick where it is stored in it's back when not in use. This character is a female robot who looks like Lugnut. However, she transforms into a tank type of vehicle here rather than a plane.

While this toy was found in Canada, we still have yet to see any of these toys in other countries, so if you find them, let us know.

I dig these, hopefully they show up domestically soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this totally-not-Lugnut is female, right? I can kinda dig the idea of Lugnut having a sister that turns into a tank. I'm not so keen on this figure, but still, cool concept.

I'm thinking I might grab this one. Not a big fan of the cartoon aesthetic but the cons could use a few more girls

Does anyone know if spark armor Grimlock with Trash Crash is worth buying on discount. Only things i've noticed is that his robot mode is compact but his upper t-rex body seems rather thing and noticeable robot feet on his back?

I'm not sure about Trash Crash drone. Unless the is a way to securely lock the arms i might toss it into the garbage bin and find a suitable weapon for Grimlock.

I dont like thst the armour is spring loaded. The base toy is ok but lacks important articulation points. I returned mine.

I really dig the set. Grimlock has a unique transformation, it always impresses me how Hasbro can find a new way to go from Dinosaur to robot. The garbage truck can be fiddly if you don't know how it locks into place.

Cyberverse Quintession with Shockwave and Prowl pack. The Quintession has a rotating head gimmick and Prowl and Shockwave have helmets (possibly to brainwash them)

Just saw the tweet and was going to post it as well. I wonder if this is related to the Quintesson rumors that popped up in the Earthrise thread. I may have to pick this up!

Do you remember, some weeks back, when we reported on a possible Voyager Quintesson figure being released? As it seems to have turned out, the Voyager price point was correct, but the toy itself actually belongs to the Cyberverse line, as demonstrated by Peaugh on Twitter. He found this three pack at Target, and it includes a Quintesson Judge toy, with a rotating head gimmick, as Peaugh demonstrates in his tweet. Figures of Prowl and Shockwave are included, who come with helmets that simulate mind control by the Quintesson.

It doesn't appear to be a Target exclusive, and is showing up at retail right now, despite never being officially confirmed or shown at any show or convention.

So are you going to try and find this pack? Excited to have another Quintesson figure after 14 years? Let us know what you think below, and please report your sightings in your local sightings pages to help your fellow collectors.
