All 8 Cyberverse Deluxes for Build a Figure Macadam Revealed including Arcee and Thunderhowl

These look pretty decent! I've picked up a few Cyberverse figures for my godkids, mostly Scout class. I want to see what that Arcee figure is going to look like. The pics of Optimus show decent articulation.

Man I'm not gonna lie, compared to everything else in Cyberverse these looks REALLY good. As in actual, solid, complete and functionnal Transformers figures not too hampered by their gimmicks. They have a nice presentation, decent articulation, look mostly good enough in both modes and are show accurate. There's absolutely nothing wrong with those figures, unlike the early offerings of Cyberverse which always had some issue.

This looks good. If I had watched the show and was interested in it I'd be quite happy. This...really looks good. Like what you'd expect of a TF toyline. Why weren't these made from the get go?

I think its because they initially wanted a clearer seperation of pricepoints and complexity between this G1 based line and the other G1 based generations line.

I'm surprised they made Arcee one of the deluxes, given her relatively low amount of screentime thus far. Maybe she's going to have a bigger role in Season 3? Also really curious as to who this "Thunderhowl" guy is, since he seems to be completely new.

I like that Bee's stinger piece is removable, from the first photos I thought he was just going to have that instead of a hand.

She'll get her due in a forthcoming Season 2 episode.

where does optimus' crotch keep disappearing to in those pose shots?

Hmm, I noticed in a pic or two of Prime that its hand is folded in sideways holding the ion blaster. I wonder if Prime has an issue holding the blaster properly.

I wondered the same thing.

Okay. Still, that's just one episode. I'm kinda surprised we're not seeing someone more prominent, like Cheetor or Slipstream. Or Starscream for that matter, he's usually right up there with Prime, Megs, and Bee on the "put him in everything" list.

I will get that Whirl, he looks cool!

Also excited for those deluxes, they are looking great, looking forward to this next year

Hinge in the front.

Wow, these look very good!

Haven't found that big Grimlock yet, is it out?

Arcee, can never have too many Arcee options.

What's a Maccadam?

And where do you Americanas watch Cyberverse? I'm Dutch and most of the time we don't get all Transformers things.

How many episodes are out on the interwebz for every Transformer fan to enjoy around the planet (that's fair and all).

Build a figure, that's completely new for Transformers! I love the concept and all 4 of these guys look fantastic so I will be getting them all. Eventough I just bought Spark Armor Optimus and Megatron.

I love the simplicity of the Cyberverse line, Slipstream (voyager sized) looks very good and is pretty solid (only a small torso looseness). But she has her very own mold!
I would love if they redo Acid Storm/Thundercracker/Starscream as Mold buddies. The small deluxe sized ones are very underwhelming. I had Starscream a while back, thought he was flimsy and Thundercracker/Acidstorm don't have the square head but are just repaints of that sleek Starscream head.

I have all the Shockwaves from Cyberverse. The Warrior (great figure), the voyager (Decent) and the Spark Armor (still in package) and in the future this Deluxe Shockwave.
I'm building a Shockwave army. Anyone remember Battalion Shockwave? GREAT figure that is

More aimed at kids but I like simple transformations and half of the Cyberverse figures are very decent in my opinion. I do hope they size up Ratchet at some point.

Wait, Warrior Prowl, that guy is amazing! Very simple but very well proportioned. I love Warrior Prowl. I hope they repaint him at least 2 times. Even has flip out cannons guys!

TV-wise, it is broadcast on Cartoon Network on Saturday mornings. Meanwhile, Hasbro uploads the episodes to their official YouTube channel every Sunday.

All episodes of Season 1 and 2 can be found online for anyone to watch (the ones on YouTube are only just now getting halfway through Season 2; the rest of the Season already finished airing in Australia back in September, so every episode was put on other sites like Dailymotion ahead of the episodes' U.S. airdates)

Beast Wars 10th Annivrsary Transmutate from 2006 was a build-a-figure.

So Thunderhowl is a thing that exists, I guess. Not gonna lie, that name and the very small look at him and his color scheme honestly makes me think of RiD Steeljaw, but it looks like he's an Autobot, so I have no idea what to expect from him. Hopefully he's cool though, new characters are always appreciated.

I've seen on Twitter that apparently, he was a RiD con who did not make the show, but is appearing now

Cool, thanks for the answers!

Forgot about Transmutate . That was a build a figure as well for a very limited line as I member.

And that big Grimlock is a wonderful toy too. One of the best Grimlock toys and one that is an appropriate size

Once cyberverse runs its course, I'll have to redo my top 5 grimlock list. Also I realized something cool about Cyberverse grimlock. While the design is very G1, it removes the excess kibble flaps on his back. It's subtle but it calls for a whole new approach to transformation. D-Max did you have a chance to transform that Spark Armor Grimlock yet? That one too reinvents the classic transformation.

No, I only got the big one. Didn't really have an interest in the spark armor one, and only got Cheetor, Ratchet, and Sky Byte from the armors anyway.

The transformation is really fun on the big one too, I love how bulky but still posable it is, and pretty clean too, even if I think the dino snout could use a bit more color

FOC Grimlock nixed the kibble wings first.

I thought that Energon did that first... Or the Pretender if anyone is fair game.

I tend to forget that those two existed.

Crud, I probably just jinxed it, didn't I?

I found this quote randomly and it turns out you didn't jinx anything since we are at least getting Rack'n'Ruin in some way.

Hindsight is a killer of a drug.

Amazon UK has some nice new photos up for the upcoming Transfomrers Cyberverse deluxe figures. They have preorders for Optimus Prime and Megatron up at 20.99 pounds a piece and each listing shows us the robot pose, the vehicle mode and the toy in package. What is really fun about these toys is that getting some standard traditional toys means we finally have decent representations of the new designs Emiliano Santalucia had done for Hasbro a while back. They are included below, mixed along with the images of the toys for you to compare. These toys are slated for a January 1 release and have already been spotted in Hong Kong. These have a similar height/articulation/complexity/price to siege deluxe toys but also come with a clear plastic effect piece and a build a figure piece to make a bonus Maccadam figure.

I'm more interested in seeing the other characters. We get so many Optimus Primes and Megatons as it is.

Something about Megs puts me off

Really need video reviews before I jump in. Season 2 didn't know what it was and these are costly. Plus do I even bother with Prowl and Alpha Trion now?

Urgh. Hate not knowing ahead of time, especially when I'm going all out on WFC.

I really like Megatron's head

I'm really excited for BAF Thew!

I am not bothering with any other cyberverse toy aside from these deluxes.

Yeah, I can totally see why!

It's only frustrating to me because I have the whole deluxe set so far, and while some are totally rubbish like Bumblebee, some are bloody excellent like Grimlock and Starscream in terms of looks and gimmicks (to my mind).

I'll see what the reviews say and then check them out in stores. I now wish I'd been more selective previously!

I suppose the new ones are all hitting pretty much at once at least, letting me know if I need to get Prime, Bee, Shockwave and Grimlock again... Hmmm. Need to see Prowl and Alpha Trion!

So one of these I submitted to news already, and the other was found afterwards, but a credible detective/TFW user found listings for Cyberverse Ultra Class figures of Thunderhowl (the guy who's also getting a Deluxe that we know basically nothing about) and interestingly Skull Cruncher (the space is there in the listing, I assume the name is split to get around copyright stuff) on the Walmart mobile app. Both listings are locked from public view, but they do have UPC numbers.

UPC for Thunderhowl: 630509902583
UPC for Skull Cruncher: 630509902606

Thanks to our very own Nemesis Primal and TFW2005's own jtrprime, we have news that the Cyberverse ranks may be expanding even more.

As you might recall, the entire Maccadam wave was revealed a few weeks back, and among those figures was a brand new face, Thunderhowl. While we yet do not have any more images or pictures of Thunderhowl, we do have a new UPC code for the character. And surprisingly enough, along with Thunderhowl, we have another UPC code revealed, and this one is for a Cyberverse Skullcruncher!

Cyberverse has not provided us with a hint of a Skullcruncher joining the show or toy ranks so far, but we now have this UPC code that indicates that we may very well be getting a Skullcruncher. We will note that Skullcruncher's name is now spaced out to Skull Cruncher, probably to secure the trademark. The UPC's were located on the Walmart mobile app, and you can find them listed below.

We will keep an eye on the situation and let you know as soon as we get more news regarding a potential Skull Cruncher figure, as well as any and all Cyberverse news that might be coming!

UPC for Thunderhowl: 630509902583
UPC for Skull Cruncher: 630509902606

There's in hand image of all 4 deluxes on tfw2005. The more i look at these, the more i want them. Also, i noticed that on all in-hand image of optimus that we got so far, none of those utilizing his ankle tilt on any of the poses. I wonder if that means he doesn't actually have ankle tilt, or it is forgotten. I really hope it is the latter.

Agreed. I don't need another Prime or Megs, but Bee and Shockwave, whomever this new Thunderhowl is, are really tempting and I do want a Maccadam

A few Seibertronians have made us aware of new in hand images of the first wave of Cyberverse deluxe figures due out January 1st. These images come from the Hobbymizer Faebook page and feature Deluxe Optimus Prime, Shockwave, Megatron and Bumblebee. There are also images showing their scale where we see that they are indeed, as expected, the size of a deluxe Siege toy. They also have the same articulation and complexity as Siege figures and are priced the same. However, you get bonus pieces to build a non transforming Maccadam figure. The images show how well these figures are articulated.

And good news for Canadians, these have also been found in Canada now. Over at Cybertron.ca, we have a sighting from Matt McNally who found these figures at a Toys R Us in Burlington, Ontario.

Let us know what you think!

I never thought that I would say this, but I WANT a CYBERVERSE BUMBLEBEE. there is a primus and it is a miricle. The day has come where there is a good looking bumblebee for my collection. I cannot wait to get it

With that Blue effect on his Truck mode, it looks like Optimus is farting.

Naturally the two characters I want to see haven't been found yet to show.

Anybody in Canada wanna hook a brother up without it hurting too much?

They are looking good! All 4 appear to be very solid figures. i think I am more excited for Bumblebee than anyone from this wave

This line is really shaping up to be good. This is what we should’ve gotten to begin with!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Anybody in Canada wanna hook a brother up without it hurting too much?

I havent found them locally yet but it would hurt a lot for sure. these are overpriced in canada at 29.99$. And thats before our higher sales tax (mine is 15%) and the rather pricey shipping. You'd be looking at 50-60 bucks a figure or more depending on how much someone wants to be paid for their efforts.

i wonder if the blast effects here are compatible with siege? if they do, swapping the effect between siege and cyberverse would be interesting.

bacem wrote:i wonder if the blast effects here are compatible with siege? if they do, swapping the effect between siege and cyberverse would be interesting.

I feel like they should be, they look like they should be

Arent the effect parts 5mm? Looks that way to me, meaning they are compatible with a ton of stuff

Not sure if anyone caught this but the wave 1 repaints coming out in 2020 are branded Bumblebee Cybertron Adventures and features a black Hot-Rod. The new figures are under the subline Battle for Cybertron.

Ah yes, but now we know one of the sublines is dedicated to the repaints.
