WANT! And D-Max, if you take pics like that of the entire batch, we could news it. I know I want to see more and I think others would too.

Target with a coupon and a red card proved very beneficial today. Found all of my Cyberverse hopefuls today! That cuts my target list down to only 3 new releases and 4 old ones!



Repugnus family photo!

I wish they had colored those Monsterbots to look like some of the Energon Masters seen in the show.

[D-Maximal_Primal]

I'm just adoring the fact that we got baby Repugnus figures.

Also, you know what's funny/weird? Remember when those PotP T-shirts came out with the 3 Amazon exclusives on them? I got the Repugnus shirt because I thought it was really cool looking, and I've wore it fairly often since. And now, my collection has 8 Repugnus figures in it now, when at the time I got the shirt it only had 1 or 2, can't remember if I got the Amazon Repugnus before the shirt or not.

the Repugni have exploded!

Thats a great family photo:lol:

So let's start with some Meteorfire. I like this guy. He is limited in articulation as most Cyberverse figures are, coming in around the same movement levels as the Ultra Class Rack n' Ruin and Clobber. But minus the head, that's OK with me. I wasn't expecting him to move a ton. I enjoy the robot mode aesthetic, and I dig the colors, they are very nice, even if not entirely show accurate (I really want a yellow head crest on him). The robot mode is also pretty clean, no real kibble, and it's pretty tight.

Transformation is actually interesting, and involves some pretty nice movements in the lower torso and shoulders to get him to jet mode.

The jet mode is OK, i knew what I was getting. It sort of looks like a chipmunk with his cheeks filled. But I did it in person, it's pretty fun.

And the gimmick is sort of cool too. If you talk loudly or blow on the figure, the light glows brighter and then erupts into a blue and red flashing light for a few seconds. i like it as his spark glowing.

so have some pics of him in jet, robot, and armored modes, and a pic of him with his Alien hunting partner!

[D-Maximal_Primal]

So Wild Wheel then.

He is not as good as Meteorfire, I will say that. Alt mode is not as nice, and the robot mode needed some more muscle on the bones, like maybe add his poncho please? But he's not bad, a little more posable than Meteorfire thanks to ball jointed elbows, and the cowboy hat is awesome. He can also holster his blasters in his hips, which is another awesome cowboy touch. Transformation is pretty basic and alt mode isn't anything to write home about.

But I am glad I got him, he's pretty enjoyable as the Cowboy Transformer we always needed

I think we're supposed to believe that the translucent green represents (or is meant to make up for his lacking) his poncho.

Eh, that's pretty weak. He should have had SS DotM Megatron's cloak or something

I don't disagree. But it's probably something Hasbro people would say if asked about it. Or they'd try to convince us that the green piece is somehow "better" than the poncho.

Eh.

I love the Cowboy hat though. I think I want to try putting it on other bots. See how it looks

Thanks to the TF Addict, we have a nice review of the Transformers Cyberverse Sinister Seeker Strikeforce 4 Pack. It contains Starscream, Thrust, Skywarp and Thundercracker all in their cybertronian forms (so they have knees, yay!) This pack can currently be found at Target, exclusively, and is priced just shy of $50. This review gives us a good look at the different decos, which include a lot of translucent plastic. Fellow Seibertronian D-Max also provided some really striking images of Skywarp, which we also show below. Tags for this set have been found at Toysrus in Canada though the set has yet to be found. You will let us know what you think!

Skywarp looks really good with her translucent plastic. I don't usually care for it on figures, but she looks nice.

[YRQRM0]

I can't stand the blasters attached to the wings, but besides that it looks like a really fun set.

It's not a bad set but not a great one either. It's fun though. I enjoy it cause I love the Cyberverse Cybertronian Starscream mode. So more Seekers are always welcome.

The deluxe Arcee is a little limited articulation wise (wrists and backwards arm movement) but she is a pretty good looking toy. I adore her style

[D-Maximal_Primal]

spent some time last night working on the Cyberverse shelf, and somehow, I now have too many figures for one shelf. what?! And I'm only planning on having a few more, so how is this gonna work?! Thinking I might split a shelf with Cyberverse and either my Animated cons or my Prime Predacons. Or maybe have all 3 together, since the cons and Preds are on their own shelf on the tall circular one.

[SGMLordMirage]

Still sweet looking!

Thanks!

Can you spot the 5 repurposed figures that made their way to the shelf?

[SGMLordMirage]

Not sure how the availability has been in other places for the new Cyberverse Arcee but i was finally able to locate it in my AO at a local Walmart. Have to say, she is my favorite. I don’t dip into this particular series much but very glad I picked her up.

I can spot three possibly four
Perceptor, twinferno, Astrotrain and CW Dead End?

Ding ding, got them all.

Needed an Astrotrain, and the Cyberverse one takes some inspiration from the TR one, and with the Siege one now i felt I could move one over to Cyberverse.

I needed a Perceptor since we didn't get one in Cyberverse, and I got this one from a friend. It was either him or TR Perceptor, and ultimately the TR one is best on my Lost Light shelf.

Dead end needed a good posable toy and had that option almost down to his Cyberverse details, so I got an extra to join the crew.

Bludgeon is obvious, plus he did not show up in RiD2015, so it was easy to move him over.

Twinferno went over as himself, with the Repugnus showing up in Cyberverse and no Twinferno in RiD2015, I felt it would work to place 2 cartoon monsterbots together. Now we just need the next cartoon to make a Grotusque figure to complete the cartoon trio.

My initial guess was that you were repurposing him as "Red Five" based on his color somewhat matching the red Autobot generics and his altmode somewhat matching the Ark's shuttles.

Never thought of that, but it's not a bad idea either!

But I'm gonna keep him as Twinferno, Repugnus' friend. He works better there than the Prime/RiD2015 shelf too.
