Damn.

THIS is what the ER deluxe should have been. Plus they didn't skimp on paint either.
This may be one of my top-10 deluxes of 2021!

Where did you get deluxe prowl again? I don't think I ever found him at retail.

Amazon.ca

I was supposed to get Starscream for 16$CAN, but they sent Prowl by mistake.
Add the 5$ Prime cashback and he was 11$! (I cancelled my free Prime trial 1 day before the auto-renewal.)

He's still available but at the full 30$CAN.
You should get it while you still can.
Oh... It's gone now.

At least the 16$ Starscream is still available: https://www.amazon.ca/-/fr/Hasbro-TRA-C ... 82&sr=1-81?tag=seibertron0b-20&

Hey that’s my cropped photo, and no it’s not from Amazon.

Not for nothing, that doesn't look like a Warrior Class figure. I can't think of one that came with a separate weapon accessory, they're usually built-in as part of a gimmick.

Could be a slight re-jig for the class given it is part of s soft reset for the line.

Writing an article right now and that is EXACTLY what that is.

The Cyberverse Transformers line is having a soft reset with a name change so that retailers can know what product is new and should go on the shelves. A lot of this line is made up of figures we have already seen though. Unlike what some fans think, none of these toys are figures from old packages remove and placed in new packaging since Hasbro does not take back toys from retailers (retailers instead sell their unsold stock to market six stores). These are all newly made figures to ensure that the popular characters are on the shelves when the Cyberverse Netflix movies come out later this year. You will see repacks in all lines such as the scout, deluxe and one step line. Of the new characters, we have ultra class Sludge and warrior class Dead End. Dead End is rather interesting since he is the first warrior class figure to have a weapon that is detached from himself. The repackaged deluxes show the new packaging initiatives done by Hasbro to reduce plastic and they give us some pretty kick ass art. Oddly enough, they still come with the Macadam BAF piece. There are also the Dinobot combining figures and you can see the three that we know of so far including the newly found Grimlock/Wheeljack combiner.

These figures were all found on the Brandora website.

Good. Another chance to get Deluxe Soundwave.

You know what, while that toy has it's flaws, it is very very fun to mess with and transform. Really, the only flaw is that backpack in robot mode that ruins his silouette.

Great article Will! I'm not going to complain about more visibility for Thunderhowl!

Bumbleswoop and Slugtron are great names, but Wheelgrim? I woulda named him Grimjack...or Wheelock. Yeah, Wheelock...and he comes with a boot accessory to lock up other car transformers!

Yeah, it's terrible name. With options like Grimjack and Lockjack they went with Wheelgrim? Not crazy about that one.

Also what did they do to Wheeljack's face!? They shaved the guy, the beard was his best feature! Also not crazy about Grimlock being so gold, I doubt he'll look like that on the cartoon.

I got Deluxe Prowl and I was very impressed. So much so that I had to compared it to the normal Earthrise version. No, I didn't order that Amazon 2 pack so we will have to settle with ER Barricade.

Cyberverse Prowl is superbly painted. Plus the overall shape of the car is better, more "real cop car."





In robot mode, Cyberverse get points for having the shoulder canons integrated to the bot. Plus he's very satisfying to transform.



From the side, both look thin and manage their backpack well.



From the back, it's a big "oof" for the ER because of the hollow legs. You'd expect this on a Cyberverse, not a Generations. Plus, Prowl's legs are covered with extra panels! But the Cyber have a questionable fault. Why the hollow forearms? Cyber also have the hollow inner thighs.



Overall, I think Deluxe Prowl is the superior toy. More fun to transform, look better at all times, and feel SOLID in hand. Also, spark effects!

How does Deluxe Prowl compare to Warrior Prowl? Many were calling the Warrior a great toy long before the Deluxe came out.

Good grief, As a kid, I would have switched to another line, if this was what they were offering.

Oh great, the same cheap Transformers repackaged to shelfwarm for another 6 months. Seems like a better idea than producing WFC Transformers.. the shelves have been EMPTY for far too long in VA. All I ever seem to see are Cyberverse

As I've said before, I've never touched the Cyberverse toyline, and while I was mildly interested in the Deluxes and Maccadam, I eventually never got any of them. That being said, I do still like a lot of these figures, I'm mostly talking about the Deluxes and Sludge, so I may get a couple if I see them at retail or if any come up on tge Smyths website. I'm guessing I've missed the boat on building Maccadam though?

Most of the figures needed for Maccadam can be found on Hasbro's eBay page, plus it looks like the repacks of the earlier waves come with the BAF parts.

Those things shelfwarm where you are? I can't recall the last time I've actually seen Cyberverse figures in a store. Last time I went to Target, all that was left was one SS RotF Soundwave, one Tiny Turbo Changer, and so many of that damn Bumblebee/Spike thing that not only was its peg full, but it had taken over another peg and filled THAT up too.

Honestly, all I wanted from Dead End was for him to have that really cool gun that he had on the show, and it looks like he does. That he seems to be decently poseable for a Cyberverse figure is just icing on the cake. I might be interested in picking him up if I can find him.

That Buzzworthy set is now half off. I almost grabbed a second then I saw Marvel Legends Katy from the new Shang-Chi movie was also half off.

yes, and that sounds about on par with Target's terrible distribution from warehouse to stores

Zeedust wrote:...so many of that damn Bumblebee/Spike thing that not only was its peg full, but it had taken over another peg and filled THAT up too.

Thankfully they appear to be on sale now... hopefully that means they'll be gone sooner than later

First off, Dead End looks great. I am super excited to have a proper transforming toy of that specific version! Dead End to me was the breakout old character reimagined of Cyberverse.

Sludge is still looking great, I am excited for him.

There are now 4 crash combiners if you include the Primelock and Bumblegrim in Buzzworthy Bumblebee, and I look forward to more. I actually enjoyed the gimmick

If you include those, we have 5 crash combiners coming out this year.

We have a gorgeous reveal for you today with Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Cheetor. While there can always be more paint, the sculpt matches the screen model with great precision. He even has the detail of his beast tail being wrapped around his waist in robot mode. These images, posted on Walmart's website, show that he comes with armour that brings many homages together. The blades are an homage to the Beast Machines Night Slash Cheetor toy, the beast battle mask are an homage to G1 Catilla (both in terms of the inner bot aesthetic and the feature of placing a battle mask on the beast shell) and for a stretch, the shoulder claws in beast mode are reminiscent of the Prime Thundertron design, whos Alpha Trizer repaint was also Cheetor.

So lots of fun wrapped in a nice little windowless package. You'll let us know what you think.

I know it can never actually happen, but...repaint as Battle Cat from MotU PLEASE.

*Hums the Beast Wars theme* Cool, another Cheetor, but this one may be a little...down-market for my collection. Though it is nice to see Cyberverse widen the quality gap between itself and the Autentics line.

That Cheetor is absolutely gorgeous and it looks like way more fun than the Kingdom version. I'll be sure to get it when I'll see it in store.

He was the main character and Guardian of the Allspark back in Season 2.

It does look more fun than the Kingdom version. I am actually working on a top 5 cheetor list (will wait for this guy to come out first though) and I am actually finding out that there are a lot better cheetors out there than the kingdom one. I am actually wondering right now which is better, Kingdom Cheetor or the OG 96 one. Not sure.

Cheetor looks pretty good, and I like the subtle Thundertron/Alpha Trizer homage with the placement of the claws on his shoulders, but I don't like that green sabertooth tiger helmet, it looks a bit doofy.

I've bought Deluxe Bumblebee and Hot Rod from Ebay, they'll be arriving next month, and they'll be my first Cyberverse toys. For those who own these two, what am I in for?

EEEESH, you're gonna see the two ends of the spectrum. Bumblebee is, with no exageration, one of the best Deluxe Bee figures we have ever gotten.

Hot Rod is utter trash though. Someone fucked up with that figure, the poseability is really neutered due to lots of stuff getting in the way. It's the worst deluxe in that line.

Very nice. And a lot more screen-accurate than the last Cheetor figure the toyline gave us.

Thanks to an Amazon sale, I finally have Iaconus and Meteorfire.

Both bots are glorious and powerful robots, with a very retro look. I love it!



As for the vehicle, Meteorfire is very 1980's in his design and it's awesome! As for Iaconus, he turn into... a submisive bot? A something? He turn into a WHY-NOT!

Iaconus is supposed to be a Fort Max or Grandus Style stsrship, where being in space requires no aerodynamics, but the hand thrusters and the side ailerons are about the ony indication of which way is forward. They should have at least allowed thr legs to fold all the way over and maybe done some kind of molding on the calf to help it

I saw meteorfire on sale but still said no. Didn't see isconus though, how much was he?

william-james88 wrote:I saw meteorfire on sale but still said no. Didn't see isconus though, how much was he?

20$can at Amazon for a short while. Now it's back to the usual 40$can. For 20$can, I couldn't say no for this silly thing. At that price I have my money's worth for some mindless fun, but I wouldn't have paid a single dollar more.

Meteorfire is damn awesome by the way. 20$can would have been the ideal price, but 22$can is better than nothing. I always kinda wanted it so my instincts said it was now or never.

I've thought of Iaconus' alt mode as being backwards. It doesn't make sense for the rockets to be in the front, I look at the blue knees and think of them as windows.

Now Cheetor, that's one I'm getting for sure. I love those almost Beast Machines armor parts I passed on the previous Cheetor because I didn't like the armor, but I have been watching prices on eBay so hopefully when this one comes out the prices will drop there. I want both of them for my growing Cheetor collection, I just don't care about the battleship.

To me the armored head shares a lot more with the Titanium figure thanks to all that green on top and sides of the head.

Man I love that little hotrod. He’s one of my go to bots to idly transform. Sure he isn’t anywhere close to the best version of the character but when it comes to transforming and vrooming around (in a totally grownup fashion) he’s a winner in my book.

I'll have to keep an eye open in case I ever see it in store.

Deluxe Class Cheetor actually looks tempting but... I'd feel "obligated" to get Thunderhowl too if I did get him, don't know why.

If you go for a Thunderhowl, got for the Ultra. Way superior to the deluxe, IMO.
