Stock Images for Cyberverse Ultimate Rodimus

The weapon is a Doink-Doink Stick, like what the Mistress of Flame had in Machinima's Prime Wars Trilogy.

I dunno, I think the "weapon" is for playing shuffleboard. In fact, he looks rather enthusiastic for the next game in the pic on the back of the box.

Yeah, not doing it for me, just like most of the figures in this class these days. Doubly so because my Iaconus seems to be broken after transforming him just once. Went to put him back into bot mode and his torso refuses to lock so the the whole top half swings backwards. I don't see any broken parts, but I also can't see what actually locks it in place. If I can't figure it out then a kid sure wouldn't be able to so there's something definitely wrong.

For me, it's the "Go Go Power Rangers" bit that's bothering me. It's a Wild Force toy, so it oughta say "Guardians of the Earth, United we Roar!"

Guys, relax, it's a toy for preschoolers; they're not gonna care about continuity like grown fans. Heck, they're far more likely to play out this exact same scenario, plus throw some LEGO and Transformers in for good measure, plus a plushie for a Kaiju.

(though I will admit, the random "Go Go Power Rangers" as if it's a franchise-wide expression and not something more recognizable from the first seasons is a bit wince-inducing)

As for the Volcanicus toy, while it is disappointing that it's not a "real" combiner, it does bring to mind two concepts which I think haven't really been fully explored in Transformers combiners yet and I'd like to see in the future: animal combiners instead of humanoid, weapon or vehicle combiners(the closest I can think from the top of my head are G1 Sky Lynx, Beast Wars Neo Magmatron and The Last Knight Dragonstorm), and combiners with their own alt-mode (which admittedly, would be a nightmare to engineer).

It also reminds me of the Anibots and their Dragon Beast combiner from the early draft of the 86 movie.

hotrod dreamed of being leader of the autobots and cleaning up the galaxy. good you can start by sweeping the floor.

Relax, we're not being that serious (hence why ZeroWolf even used a emoticon).

Sorry, I'm new to the whole forum thing; sometimes it's hard to tell what people are really saying.

Normally I don't pick this kind of figure up. But, Hot Rod is my favorite 'Bot and this version immediately reminded me of another favorite A.B.C. Warriors! Now I might jut have to pick him up.

saw the vehicle mode and thought, looks kind of cool, saw the robot mode and threw up a little in my mouth.

Clearly Hot Rod is going to a curling competition

Those legs, really lazy engineering...

On Slug: man he looks so cool! He looks far more interesting than his SS86 counterpart. I actually cancelled my preorder for him after seeing this Slug. So far the Cyberverse Dinobots have 3/5 classic teammates in good toy form and it makes me very excited for them. And they are a unique and cool design with new weapons that I love. I feel great about getting them!

Volcanicus: god, that thing is so stupid and I absolutely love it. I will be getting it

Its nice he comes with a broom

I'm just curious, do you laugh at the 4 winds?

We have another previously unannounced toy now found at retail (always a fun surprise). This is from the Cyberverse line, which Hasbro does not promote. It Ramjet, which is a new entry into the ultra Energon Armour class. These are voyageur-ish height and simple enough for 6 year olds. The energon armour on this one is rather interesting since it looks like Divebomb. This toy comes with two gun accessories.
BattkeUpSaber found it at a Takashimaya store in Singapore.
You'll let us know what you think.

And Skullcruncher's shipping again? Awesome! I kept putting off getting him before, and then suddenly he was nowhere to be found in any Target.

Maybe there'll be some reason for the Divebomb homage in the last two Cyberverse specials (or not), but I'd have been happier with Energon Armor resembling Nosecone or Zetar for an Animated homage, and a more functional look. Still, just nice to have a Conehead Cyberverse Seeker in a decent size!

Hi,I'm the one who first sighted this and posted it on TFW. I found it at a Takashimaya store in Singapore.

Thanks!

Cool, we'll give you credit.

I never thought I'd get Skullcruncher but I did. And no regrets even at full price because he's AWESOME!

Sure, he's hollow and light. He pose well enough and surprisingly, he's incredibly well balanced!



The armor gimmick is clever and even have a "chomping action"!



The transformation is clever and fun. The Croc is superb looking from all angles.



Cyberverse Skullcruncher may not be a headmaster, but I think he's way superior than the Titan Return deluxe.

I highly recommend him.
