Exclusive Cyberverse Optimus Prime with Battle Trailer found in Canada and News on US Release

Thanks to Car Robots, every time I hear the name "Battle Base" (especially in regards to an Optimus Prime's trailer), I can't help but think of Black Convoy's own trailer.

This Optimus gets a trailer, I wish seige Optimus got a trailer

Don't count on it. Lately, only the Optimuses for little kids deserves a trailer.





I have that "deluxe" Rescue Bots one. It's sweet for what it is.



The only way I'll ever buy a Siege Optimus is if there's some special edition at the leader price point. It would have a proper Cybertronian trailer that have a geewunesque battle station mode. Complete with a non-transforming Cybertronian Roller who also work as gun storage. I'd be down for that.

A bunch of Cogs can give Siege Optimus a trailer.

These days being a Walmart exclusive in the US is only slightly better than being a US TRU exclusive.

That is way too awesome!

Cog Trailer is messy as hell.

But I just cannot hate it.

The is a lot coming down the Cyberverse pipeline and with the current idea of having several toys of different sizes/classes for the same characters, it can get very confusing, especially sicne there is no sense of scale in these images. So we will break it down for you.

Below you will find images of:

One Steps: Bumblebee, Prowl, Megatron, Optimus Prime

Warrior: Soundwave, Prowl and Hotrod. All of these have action features, such as Hotrod's flip out flames and Lazerbeak coming out of Soundwave's chest.

Ultra: Optimus Prime and Slipstream. These are voyager sized.

Ultimate: Bumblebee. This is leader sized. He has a great looking alt mode.

A lot of these toys look real mediocre, but that Soundwave looks great. I'll be picking him up for sure. I hope that Laserbeak is a sepreate piece, and not fixed in his chest.

Also, I can I just comment on how horrible the vehicle mode is on that 1 step Optimus. I've never seen worse vehicle kibble on a transformer in my life. Also didn't they just release a 1 step Prime? What's the need for another one?

Nope, fixed to the chest.

Warrior Prowl looks decent, at least.

I dont know, he looks like he had breast augmentation surgery.

I meant articulation-wise.

How do you know. Do you have any images of the gimmick in action?

Wow, those all look horrible. No wonder I had a hard time picking a transformer for a 5 year old this year. Sheesh

All action gimmicks are fixed, here is a render he comes out in bird mode:



Look, you can always hope that it is detachable, but I am sure it aint.

Thanks. Hmm... yeah it looks like your right. That's a shame, but it's not a huge deal breaker.

Head, neck, and wings.

Yeah, I just noticed. I had to edit my reply.

The boots of Bee look hollow.Prowl is another Jazz variante with bad feet.Hotrod has a stupid tail and a small head.Splitstream is kind of anorexique,the best overall.

Not a fan of Ultra OP's hands, to be honest. Why couldn't they have designed him so that the front panels can just fold over to the side?

A better question:did they ever thought about removable back pack?Maybe with extra tool.

Yes,with TLK Barricade.

I think all of these look great.

I'm afraid the Cyberverse line just isn't doing anything for me. Haven't felt motivated to collect any of them so far. The only thing I think I've felt is a slight degree of resentment that they're taking up so much shelf space that stores don't seem in any hurry to get the Siege figures on the shelves.

Liking Ultra Class Slipstream, as well as Warrior Prowl.

Consifering that not much time ago,most didnt even transform into vehicles,these are big step up.
They look fun.

I'm fine with Prowl, reminds me a lot of the Cyber Battalion figure. Soundwave looks OK in bot mode if you forget about the gimmick, but I just now noticed that thanks to his transformation he has a second unpainted chest on his legs.

that first picture of optimus prime the truck mode at least doesnt look like the front of a transit bus like the ultimate one does

Wow! I am loving this man.

Voyager (ehm, Ultra) Optimus looks solid. Easy to transform, no fake chestery going on. I'll 3d print a gun for him, done!

Slipstream looks great! Love that she got a completely new body and not just a simple retool like before. Love the fact she has lipstick and the colors are great. So that's a must, really want her.

Hot Rod looks like a beef monkey. Like a He-Man barbarian style toy.
But I like him, I don't think he has elbow joints. But will pick him up, I'm a sucker for the Hot Rod colors.

Prowl looks like a cool easy to transform Car Robot. A must for me, hope he gets 2 repaints to Bluestreak, Smokescreen. And put a different head on it and call him Jazz I'd be okay.

Soundwave looks exceptionally nice. Lovint the head sculpt. Robot mode looks good, better than the RID we got last time. A Must as well.
Vehicle mode is a bit underpainted. I loke the sentry gun thing on the top.

I'm liking this line more than the previous RID line. Maybe because of the Energon like simplicity (soooo tired of the Movie line).
And all look very G1'ish. I'm happy here

You know, I don't hate that giant Autobot symbol energy shield of Prime's as much as I used to now that I know he uses it in the cartoon. It's still silly, but at least it's accurate.

While the Transformers Cyberverse Optimus with Battle Trailer playset is a Toysrus exclusive anywhere which still has a Toysrus, we now know who is going to carry it in the US: Walmart. It has been found in stores very well stocked for the rather affordable $30 USD (see this Optimus actually comes with a trailer and costs $20 less than the upcoming G1 reissue). This was part of a new Bumblebee themed display sent to Walmart from Hasbro. The display also had Studio Series figures and the latest wave of deluxed sized Rescue Bot Academy figures which includes Hot Shot. Those were priced at $7.88 and you can talk about them in their thread if you so desire. We thank Scottimus Prime for letting us know of this sighting.

All I want to know is which Primes can actually tow the trailer and which ones cannot

Easy. The Cyberverse deluxe and that's it.

Any ETA for the wave with Slipstream?

Patrickab7 wrote:Any ETA for the wave with Slipstream?

Probably Spring of next year. I want to see her in stores as I'm strongly considering her as well.

The latest wave of one step Transformers from the Cyberverse line is hitting retail across North America and fellow Seibertronian Chuck Dawg has reviews of the three new molds, Optimus Prime, Megatron and Starscream, for anyone interested.

Well, for one reason or another these have been somewhat hard to find in certain areas but I got lucky and am VERY happy to bring them to you now. If you're going to buy one, Starscream is my personal favorite, but all of them would make for great desk toys.

Starscream is the best as He is a retool of TLK OneStep Megatron

In the video Chuckdawg says that these figures are really hard to find: yet here in Italy they are on display in many stores.

I reviewed these a month ago, posted it here and now they have disappeared from the site. That's messed up why would the video thread been deleted especially if they are new?

But yeah they are totally fun. I agree with Chuck these ones steps are great

This is very bizarre, could you please report your problem in the problem reporting thread: seibertron-com-problem-reporting-thread-t216.php

Also, if ever you post a new review and want to bring it to our attention, please send a link (just like you reported for Hot Rod)

Hey Will, seems like the image you used in the thumbnail is from TFWiki. Check who uploaded the photo

Funny thing, a viewer pointed out that these three figures have something in common, they're all retools of Megatron related movie toys.

If you recall, we posted a news article on the Transformers Cyberverse Battle Base Trailer with Warrior Class Optimus Prime sightings in U.S. retail. And now, we have an English review of it! Coming from the YouTube reviewer "Bert the Stormtrooper" made a video review on both Warrior Class Optimus Prime and the Battle Base Trailer. He actually had a good time with the set, specifically the trailer, and how it looked. For those who don't know, the set includes a straight re-release of the Cyberverse Warrior Optimus Prime, with the axe gimmick, and a completely new trailer meant to hold figures as a playset.

Watch the review below, and make a judgement of the set, and tell us in the Pub forums below!

The Cyberverse toys are shaping up to be a lot of fun for the 6-10 year old demographic. I think that the trailers playability is AWESOME. I wish I could just get the trailer and bypass that Prime. I haven't bought any of the Cyberverse toys, but I'm glad there is something for the kids.

I received one of these sets as a Christmas gift yesterday. I actually enjoyed the trailer more than I did Optimus himself.

You've got to love it when Amazon tries to be coy by sticking with code names while giving us a full look at the figure. That doesn't seem to be changing any time soon, the latest cases being our first look at stock photos of two Cyberverse Scouts on Amazon.com.au. This time around it's Ratchet under the name "Aces" and Shadow Striker under the name "Rockhounds". We got a look at these two in bot mode at New York Comic Con and later we got CG pictures, but this is our first look at both modes of the actual figures.

These are basically what you'd expect from the Scout class; barely acceptable bot modes and half an alt mode with an action feature. Ratchet's "Grapple Grab" is a crane that swings up over his shoulder. Shadow Striker's "Stealth Sniper Shot" isn't a shot at all, but rockets that come out of the back of her "car" mode. Because of her feature being in the back we've yet to actually see any pictures of her alt mode from the front as the rockets have been the focus.













So are you a fan of the Cyberverse Scout class or are these the bane of your collector existence? Sound off in the Energon Pub below.

The front of that Ratchet's ambulance hood is the same as Animated Ratchet's:

I'm likely to buy Shadow Striker, depending on the size of her head, because it's definitely not for the toy itself. I like the character, being that she's a femcon with a sports car alt mode, but I'm thinking a Transformers Prime Deluxe Vehicon that actually transforms would make for a better Shadow Striker in my CHUG collection. I just have to find a suitable Shadow Striker head to put in place of the Vehicon's.

Interesting that Cyberverse Shadow Striker's head looks to be based more on the original Side Burn (AKA Speedbreaker) head..

rather than the retooled head created for the original Roulette and Shadow Striker:

It's kinda disheartening to see how close Shadowstriker is to actually having a proper alt mode. A backpack and a flip up chest would have done it for her.

These half-formers really needed more thought
