This piece of news from the New York Toy Fair aftermath is entirely thanks to Transformers Twitter, as users The Last Gherkin, Jalaguy and original source of the image TFU.info combined their efforts to provide the best resolution of the tidbit - but what we have thanks to them is a first look at the female Decepticon character due to appear in the animated Cyberverse series from Hasbro and Boulder Media: Shadow Striker!

You can see artwork of her on the side of the Cyberverse Megatron box, which we do have in our own galleries, but not as visible as the further images mirrored below.

I kind of wish she had more in common colorwise with G1 Shadow Striker, but either way, more fembots are a good thing.

I guess when I say main line, I'm thinking of the Generations related line. It would be nice to see them put out Slipstream (aside from the Takara release a couple years ago)

There was a time when the media lines were the main lines and the CHUG lines were done on the side.

It's kinda funny how what had been a small line of G1 homage figures to fill the gap between the end of Cybertron and the start of the first movie blew up into such a massive toyline in its own right. (And all those characters in the first wave of Classics have since been remade, even.) Even with the massive positive reaction to that line, I don't think anyone could have anticipated we'd be here eleven years later considering it the "main" line due to its consistent presence through the last decade while other lines have come and gone.

However Hasbro proper does not see the generations line as being the main line. Brian Goldner reiterated the fact that the core lines are the ones that are targeted towards their core audience which is kids from 5-8 years old.

Eh.. what the CEO says is not necessarily what the various brands think. I mean, for varying degrees of main, both statements are true. From a purely commercial revenue standpoint, sure.

But I'd be wary of dismissing the 'rest' of the active audience, despite us being in the minority (if so).

That is definately a door on her arm though.

I for one am excited that here we are what, 15 years later and a botcon repaint of an RID figure is a main-ish villian. RID01 was my umping on point and the Universe Roulette and Shadow Strikers were pretty figures.

Yes, both statements can be true. And we are a minority, but an important one where there is growth potential (unlike the core market).

Here is the quote relating specifically to TFs (which Braind Goldner sees as his golden goose right now):

We have a preschool RESCUE BOTS show, we have our Cyberverse focused on our core kid six-to-nine year-old. We continue to run more adult oriented content on Machinima for that fan. Fan business is growing in a very significant manner. And then of course we have our movies. It was a movie year but our products were about the movie but also about all these other dimensions of TRANSFORMERS.


The way I see it, Cyberverse seems to be where the anticipated major portion of revenue for the TF brand will come from in 2018 with any collector line being where there will be the greatest increase in revenue.

That aside, I do still cringe at the CEO of such an important firm calling something "adult oriented content".

I have a hunch that another factor making Cyberverse more profitable is because its figures look a lot more cheaply made. Engineering and articulation up the cost of producing a figure, and if these are simpler figures, they should make Hasbro more money than their more elaborate CHUG counterparts.

Also directly from the source - that is, Hasbro - we have some official imagery for the barrage of class sizes that will feature in the newcoming toyline for Transformers: Cyberverse, including the Action Attackers gimmick for the figures in the line. But, proceeding with order, we have:

  • Scout class Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream and Grimlock
  • Ultimate Class Optimus Prime and Megatron
  • Ultra Class Starscream, Grimlock, and Bumblebee
  • Warrior Class Starscream, Shockwave, Optimus Prime, and Bumblebee

Some of these images we had seen in previous news reporting, such as here, but some of these are most definitely a new look. You can compare the images below and in their full gallery to our coverage of the figures on display at New York Toy Fair 2018 here!

He has no vehicle mode, he is just a gimmick toy. It explains why a legends sized toy is only 8$ instead of 10$

I'll be looking closely at the larger Grimlock and the Shockwave to see if they might be worth picking up. Grimlock looks kind of cute and fun. Shockwave looks alright, and I like the newer idea for HIS alt mode.

It's the first time ever since I started collecting that I can see an entire line as "plastic crap". Seriously. Little kids may have a blast with these, but those are definitely NOT for us. Jeez, even RiD/Movie Line 3 steps and 1 step changers have more value than these. :BANG_HEAD:

The spinny gun action feature is not for the Warrior Starscream, its the from the other gimmicky Scout Starscream without a full jet mode. Just the Gerwalk thing.

It's getting kind of confusing yes.

I like the concept behind Starscream's cluster missile launcher. I mean, I don't really need my Transformers to have spring-loaded missile launchers that shoot actual little projectiles, but I would like something that represents their weapons functioning. This is a neat compromise, and unlike a spring-fired missile (1) you don't have small pieces to lose and (2) you can actually display it 'firing'. The figure is otherwise atrocious, but I feel like this type of gimmick would look good on a Generations remake of G2 Dreadwing, or another similar character.

Actually, the basic concept of a 'firing effect' that comes out of the weapon barrel but remains attached could work well on a lot of figures, or even just their accessories. They could be designed very similarly to the DotM MechTech weapons. Instead of a rifle transforming into a rifle with a knife blade at the end, it could 'transform' into a rifle with a translucent purple muzzle flash at the end. Instead of a missile launcher transforming into a mace or something, it could 'transform' into a missile launcher with a translucent orange contrail attached to a painted missile. If they effects were done as well as TF5 Megatron's flame effects, they could look really appealing on display.

I don't understand, I quoted everything in your post. I don't believe I removed anything.

It was a little confusing, because went from the Warrior class to commenting on the scout class without a break or any indication you were talking about a different toy. It looked like you were still talking about the warrior class and then just pasted in the picture of the Scout class with the gimmick.

Sorry. ;) ;)^

It has been months since we had anything new to share related to the Transformers Cyberverse toyline. Well, now we have some new stock images showing the toys in packaging. We get a good idea at the finished decos here. We have images of ultimate class Optimus Prime and Megatron. Some assembly is required on Optimus. These are leader sized toys made simpler (articulation and transformation wise) and at the lower price point of $29.99.

We also have images of ultra class Bumblebee, Starscream, and Grimlock which are voyager sized but priced lower, at $19.99. All these toys are gimmick heavy and made for younger audiences, similarly to the previous Robots in Disguise 3-step toys, but with seemingly better articulation.

These images come from NDA wholesaler and we thank Seibertronian Scotty P for sending us these links.

I just can't get behind some of these recent series. They seem way too similar to the RID figures, which I haven't been overly excited for. There's just a kiddie like quality that I don't generally enjoy with these newer lines. I realize of course that this is a toy line for children, but this one seems too gimmick heavy as well, I've seen too many times when a good figure is ruined for the sake of a gimmick. I hope Hasbro keeps going with two lines, as I've come to view the white boxed figs, (RID, etc.) as the more youth oriented lines, and the black carded boxes as more appealing to collectors.

That was the whole intention ;)

The Warriors Class does make a return for this line, with a springloaded gimmick in each figure I believe.

Optimus prime is the best one to me, and I might even get him! (Probably not though). Bumblebee still looks TERRIBLE! I hope we can get a RID warrior or Generations deluxe quality Bumblebee, because I like his design in the art we have of him.
