Forgot all about these.

Are these the only assortments in which Steve Irwin and Clint Eastwood will be available?

You may not want to hear this, but the spring-loaded armor is only on the bigger Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, with the rest simply being attached (look at the fins on the shoulders). According to the box, the lights on the figures and sounds on the bigger Prime 'Bee are voice-activated, but the armors are not.

Well that makes a lot more sense. Not really disappointed, still wanting Wild Wheel, don’t plan on anyone else (unless they do Decepticons that haven’t gotten figures yet).

Also, forgot about Meteorfire. Robot mode ain’t bad, but Jesus Christ that jet mode is less aerial dynamic than friggin’ Devastator.

Wild Wheel's Car design looks like it borrowed heavily from the Female Autobot Combiners, which I thought was a lazy and boring design to start with.

At least Wild Wheels' back end looks better designed.

And unlike the fembots, he's a flying car.

The last few eps that ran on CN have sold me on the two new guys, but it is a shame these will probably be their only toys.

I've now had enough bad experiences with forgetting batteries until they were long corroded that I'd just as soon never see another TF with an electronic gimmick again, but this voice activation feature reminds me so much of those Allspark Tech figures that I foresee these guys mostly showing up in Marshalls and TJMaxx, though Ollie's may also answer said "Battle Call".

Of course, just when the former two stores actually reopen in Michigan, that I cannot foresee.

According to the box, the lights on the figures and sounds on the bigger Prime and 'Bee are voice-activated, but the armors are not. It's possible there are different sounds depending on whether the armor is deployed or not (like a button being kept pressed), but I can't find any clues to that.

I think the spring loaded armor is controlled by the weapons. When they're pulled out from the back they trigger a catch.

I thought it was more for that covert stealth look since he's the one to always go near the quints.

I was mainly talking about the toys themselves since those came out long before the show had colored him black.

But in the show itself, his black deco wasn't something that he himself chose for any stealth missions. His body was turned black by a toxic pool of energon waste after he inexplicably miraculously survived being dunked in it.

I realized that a while ago, it is nigh identical to the TLK Hot Rod paint job from the Bumblebee legion 2-pack, plus the keeping of red/orange/yellow with the black clearly pointed to him.

It's super cool to see Hot Rod homaged like that, and it made sense in the story

Cyberverse has proven to be a well loved show, with a really good Season 2 and a really awesome and original take on the Transformers and the Quintessions in Season 3. We have gotten a lot of toys during the show run, and it while almost every toy has been revealed officially with product images and such, there are still 3 figures left to get a proper reveal, and today we have some more information on one of them.

That figure would be Ultimate Class Iaconus, whom was originally listed back at the very beginning of the year, but has remained in the shadows since, possible due to his role in Season 3 of the show and wanted to coincide with his full reveal. Iaconus is set to arrive in a wave that also includes the previously released Optimus Prime and Shockwave, which means he might be stealthily making his way to shelves soon and not stand out right away.

In the show, Iaconus is described as a War Titan, a Titan who is larger than standard Titans and far more aggressive and fierce. Iaconus' design was previously showed to us as well, but how accurate to the show model his toy is is up for debate, considering what the newest Ultimate Class figures have looked like and used as a gimmick. Hopefully he leans more towards the Ultimate Grimlock than the Ultimate Shockwave.

Check out his product information below, courtesy of Entertainment Earth, and let us know what you think Iaconus will end up looking like below! And stay tuned, hopefully he, and the Ultra Class Skullcruncher and Thunderhowl will make appearances soon!
