This is a really odd reveal, for many reasons. Firstly, it's a reveal for the Cyberverse line, a line which seemed done. Especially with a new kids show already revealed that will have its own toyline. Also, we don't usually get reveals for this line, since it's not made for fans (and there's no preorder for these). And lastly, the big one, this doesn't look at all like Cyberverse Optimus Prime. Optimus in Cyberverse has the evergreen design which we have seen for years now and which we will keep seeing, like in the upcoming Earthspark cartoon. This Optimus Prime, in robot mode, looks exactly like the recent live action Optimus Prime from the Bumblebee movie (and supposedly the Rise of the Beasts Movie too). Look at the arms, the chest, it's that BB Movie Prime. So, it begs the question, is this actually our first look at a toy from the Rise of the Beasts line, but in Cyberverse packaging. Is this the tactic Hasbro will use to release these already produced toys which are supposed to be out soon? Or will the ROTB toys still come out this year in ROTB packaging and this is just an extra toy for another line. No answers, only questions for now. That alt mode is also odd, since it resembles the one Optimus had in Beast Hunters, while also looking a bit like Legacy Bulkhead's, which supposedly will also be made into an Optimus Prime toy.
We do have some more details about this specific toy. It is 9-inches, so a pretty good size, and it transforms from truck to bot by smashing it on the floor, a tactic used in Age of Extinction toys as well. It will retail for $31.49 when it hits retailers in October.

Why does that look like a better Bulkhead truck than Legacy?

Reminds me more of his Animated vehicle than his legacy alt mode does.

I think THIS is the Optimus based on Bulkhead that we will see in Legacy.

Funny how they chose to end the toyline with a reference to another part of the franchise. Though it does look pretty good.

Very very strange.
Robot mode has definite Bumblebee movie Prime parts, arms, chest, legs, very much pointing to BB Prime.
Alt mode however point to the Legacy Prime repaint of Bulkhead which is even stranger.
Is this supposed to be a mashup of different Primes? Or is this what that Bullhead repaint is going to look like?
It's clearly not Earthspark Prime in any way, so is this just a one off? A new line of Cyberverse figures based on the Legacy designs?
This seems super out of left field even for Hasbro.

As much as this gives me hope for a possible combining Volcanicus, I have to agree with Big Willie Styles and this is a teaser for the Rise of Beasts line, except it's coming several months AFTER the line is supposed to hit.

Haha, and yeah that's the confusing bit. We'll see what happens in a month and a half. If toys don't come out then they reoriented themselves in time for the packaging phase.

Cyberverse started with simple RID repacks and is seemingly ending with simple RotB pre-packs. Feels appropriate. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if the whole RotB line gets released under Cyberverse and then some choice figures get reissued or retooled for next year.

People in the know (supposedly) are talking online in various message boards now that this toy has been shown. I covered that here, though I guess the discussion will continue here.

Warrior Snarl is a pretty neat toy. So good that I can forgive his partsforming tail.

The tail even serves a purpose in robot mode, as it's the sheath for his sword.-Kanrabat- wrote:Warrior Snarl is a pretty neat toy. So good that I can forgive his partsforming tail.

Of course. If it work as storage for the dino mode, it work as storage in robot mode as well.
Still, it baffle me is that in no way the bot can wield that tail as a club. That's one hell of a design oversight.

It can, just insert the sword in and stick it on the hand.

I just normally set my tail off to the side and let it stand as a action master Snarl-esque robot

So i found the Officer Class Optimus Prime at Ollies tonight, and decided to try him out once I realized how many joints he had and how he looked in hand.
And, he is good. Like, surprisingly good. First of all, he is very solid, this is a toy designed to be played with. He is also surprisingly posable: all the arm and leg joints you could want, he has ankles but no wrists mind you, and both of his heads are on swivels. So he can throw some moves.
He also has a nice design. I like the Cyberverse Prime design, and this one, like the deluxe, does a good job of capturing that look and those proportions. His base head is nice too. But then, that armor is well sculpted, and the super mode head is super awesome, I love Prime with extra faceplate details and a visor. I only wish there was some silver paint on the chest, but that is a minor thing for how good he is.
The chest armor also tabs into place, adding stability for the armor piece. Weapons are cool too, the shield design is neat, and I like a big ole sword.
So yeah, he is fantastic. Well worth the buy. He surprised me in the most pleasant way.

I really think we as a fandom have slept on Cyberverse not only as a show, but also with some of the toys. I for one had no idea this Officer Class Optimus would be this cool and this much fun, but he is. This is a great toy, and I love it. It is very fun and very good.

I have the first Ultimate with the annoying chest gimmick and the one with the Ark armor as far as the really big Primes go, they're both pretty neat in their own ways. I almost bought that one when I saw it on clearance a few weeks ago, but thought I had enough big Cyberverse Primes, but now your pictures make me think I really should get it sometime.
