We've got some more Transformers: Cyberverse fun coming at you, Seibertronians! Thanks to our old pal, Chuck, we've got a pair of nice video reviews of Transformers: Cyberverse 1-Step Changers Optimus Prime and Prowl! Chuck, a.k.a. chuckdawg1999, gives us an overview of Optimus Prime and Prowl in vehicle and robot modes, shows off their transformations, and demonstrates their new "Action Attack" features! Action attacks are being incorporated into the Cyberverse 1-Step Changer toys beginning with Wave 3, in which you can also find Bumblebee, Wheeljack, Hot Rod, and Megatron. As a bonus, Chuck also gives us a comparison with the previous 1-Step Changer Optimus Prime from Wave 2 and the new Warrior Class version of Prowl. Give these videos a watch below!

I just love how there is no theming or commonality between most of those Spark Armor figures. We have a scout who converts into a sports car with a freakin' battleship, a warrior poet who turns into a shark with a drill tank thing, and an armada commander who transforms into a fighter jet with a construction vehicle. These closest matchup that I see with some common ground is Megatron (a tank) and his assault helicopter. Otherwise, these matchups seem completely random.

Even though I don’t collect these, and I don’t fall into the target demographic, it’s impossible for me to deny how cool and fun these look. Between these and siege, I love a lot of the decisions that Has/Tak is making. If I were a kid, or a teen, I’d be all over these the same way I was with Bionicle, when those came out. I love the idea that the armor upgrades transform into such cool looking vehicles, and various homages to other TF series.
Also that Skybyte is just adorable.

Wow, cyberverse figures that are nice. Jetfires drone may be the slammer to compiement scamper to finish metroplex off.
Liking the armor premise and even if it makes some look like SD Gundams thats only a good thing.

I non-ironically like it for that reason. It IS completely random and crazy, with the usual SCALE BE DAMNED of the Transformers universe. All of these are "why, because we can and don't give a f..."
I'm looking forward the video reviews of these. To see if the quality hold up and what articulations they actually have.

Oh my. That Sky-byte looks nice.
If there is some cross-compatibility between the armours I'd expect it to be within the same size class. Even if limited, cross-compatibility is always good.
If you can cobble together a leg mode from Prime's armour, I'm all for a drone Broadside.

I just wonder how cross compatible those body armor parts are between size classes. They almost look like they're tailor made for the bots they go with. Some would probably have to be. If so, it would limit some of the fun with them sadly.

While I'll only plan on picking u SkyByte because it's frickin' SkyByte, I like how the Jet Power Optimus is somewhat an homage to his combination with Jetfire in RoTF. Also what is this? An entire wave of cyberverse toys that all look decent? I'm just happy the show is getting better products. SkyByte to me is till the only must have.

These things are really great looking! The only one I find a little questionable is Megatron, his tank mode is garbage, but all of the others look worth getting. Not so sure about Starscream with purple wing stripes.
That would be neat, kinda like the Minicon armors from Prime. Megatron's armor looks like it could form the top of another bot. The larger Optimus looks like he could form a large portion of a bot with those big feet.
As for Bumblebee.
Joking aside, this is better looking than the last time Bumblebee had boat armor.

I like these. If they weren't the kidified toys I'd buy them. I still might get that prime with the Arc. I would have liked to see Arcee though.

Now those are cyberverse figures that pique my interest. Also, it seems like the armor bits attach via 3.5 pegholes. If that is indeed the case, we might be able to use them to armor up siege figures.

These look like some really fun toys, for the kids. If I were 8, I'd be all over this stuff.
Neat character designs, and this armor up/Weaponize gimmick is always fun.
Sky Byte?!?!? RAD!

100% agree w/ this statement. The possibilities for future figures (if this particular part of the line continues) are limitless! Windblade w/ submarine! Grimlock w/ an armored car! Shockwave w/ a spider tank! (Oh, wait...)

Prowl looks like he has a great idea!
I think I want half of two sets from this line; Jetfire to hang out with legend class figures, and the battleship to cannibalize for custom fodder.

Just a few random thoughts:
Something tells me these are going to be smaller than we expect. That Prime with the ark will probably be comparable to the Ultra Class but double the money. When that happens I'll just sit back and watch the world burn.
Having looked at larger pics I don't think the armor will be swappable, the chest and shoulder/helmet armor looks to be connected by a hinge and the helmets are sculpted to fit the robot heads.

I was wondering if I’d ever bring myself to buy even a single Cyberverse toy, but holy crap that Sky Byte is a beautiful little effer. That Megatron isn’t too shabby either, looks better than every other version of him in the line so far.
Also if I’m not mistaken, isn’t Megatron’s armor an homage to his Machine Wars toy?

I haven't been too impressed with the Cyberverse line (too many hair-trigger spring-loaded gimmicks interfering with articulation for my taste), but my kids seem to like it well enough. These, however, look like they might entertain us all. I love a good add-on armor.

As far as I can tell, the smaller Battle Class armors from Jetfire, Prowl, Starscream and Sky-Byte are completely interchangeable. Notice how the core figures have peg holes in roughly the same locations, and not all used with the armors they come with. Most notably, most attach to the arms, but Starscream's attaches to the legs instead.
The larger Elite Class armor may be interchangeable as well, but the "helmeted heads" inside the armors may indicate they're not supposed to in-fiction.
In short, within the same Size Class, feel free to mix!

Er, the peg holes might be compatible, but the way they connect to the chest is different on each figure. Some connect at the abs, some in the center of the chest and so on. They even went out of their way to make the connection different shaped on each figure. For example Prowl's connects to the rectangle on the front of his car bumper while Bumblebee's connects to a slit just above his waist and Starscream's is in the center of his chest.

I said within the same size class for a reason. For the record:

Jetfire
Prowl
Starscream
Sky-Byte
Elite Class
Bumblebee
Megatron
Optimus Prime
I will give you the different slots in the chest for the Battle Class, but it remains to be seen if they match the pegs on the armors.

They look like a lot of fun!
Cute G1 transformers, going to have to safe up big time. Want everything Siege, that good looking Slipstream and now all these.
Oh yes and the Ultra Optimus.
Beeftank Megatron is still so cool.

The cartoon trailer does show the spark armor toys are linked into the plot rather than them just being solely a toy gimmick and gives more potential characters that maybe coming from other transformers series (like the Skybite toy). More than G1 is getting some love, thats for sure

I'm sort of hoping the show design for the 'spark armors' on Optimus and Megatron get released later on, as they are different enough from the current toy designs revealed and Optimus especially looks like he's some insane mashup of his Beast Hunter self and Star Saber, whereas the toy design seems like he's cosplaying G2 Dreadwing.

Coming to us from the official Transformer Facebook page, we have stock images of some upcoming toys that will be shown at Toy Fair later today! It seems whoever put up the post was a little early, as Toy Fair has yet to start:
A litany of new Cyberverse figures were just revealed at New York Toy Fair! Who's got you the most excited?
But onto the figures! While we've seen the Spark Armor figures, these new 2019 Action Attack are completely new! We have:
Scout Class:
Optimus Prime (retool of Wave 2, with mouth and battle axe, which is orange instead of blue)
Scraplet (the first toy of a Scraplet, based of Prime design)
1-Step:
Shockwave
Skybyte
Warrior Class:
Gnaw (based heavily on Titans Return toy)
Deadlock
Ultra Class:
Alpha Trion
Ultimate Class:
Grimlock (has the faceplate from the episode Eruption)
So thought's on these? Tell us in the Pub forums down below, and be sure to stay tuned for coverage of NY Toy Fair 2019!

Gnaw is clearly the Prime Wars Legends Class figure, which is fine, that’s a great toy.
Scraplet is TOTES ADORBS!!! I want it and I’ll name it Scrappy!
Hopefully Alpha Trion in Cybercrrse is a sign that he may receive another figure in the Generations line soon-ish.

I never had a chance pick up the Titans Return guy, so I should just pick up this one. It's bigger too.
Also, first Scraplet toy, yes! Based off the Prime design too!
Oh, and Grimlock looks great.

Is it just me or Cyberverse have suddenly become interesting?
I also predict that Scraplet will be the next troop builder.

Interesting... Deadlock is a thing in Cyberverse! There will probably be a Drift repaint at some point too!

Wow, these are cool!
I like how Alpha Trion's spaceship mode is a homage to Cybertron Vector Prime.
I thought Shockwave turned into a gun, but that's probably just bug mode or something. His robot mode sorta reminds me of his Siege Leader figure's super mode, especially those shoulder pads.
Scraplet is cool, it's nice to finally have some after the ones from Prime got canceled.
I thought Gnaw was a rereleased version of his TR figure, but looking closely, it's actually a new mold.
Grimlock is a more accurate figure in both modes, so that's great.
Everything else is just awesome, I can't wait for this line, as I'm sure kids will love these
BTW, is Optimus Prime's jet armor a homage to the Go-Bots Leader-1? Feels like it

so is that Scraplet toy the only scout in this toyline that isn't heavily compromised? I don't know much about that incarnation of them (only know the ones from that old Marvel US story with Blaster and Goldbug, I dunno if this toy is actually real life scale or something).
That slightly pukey colour does not go well with Jetfire's white and red.
A lot of these have very questionable scale. Bumblebee's tiny car but wearing a battleship? Prime turns into a truck but is carrying the spaceship that carried all the early G1 bots to Earth?
I guess this is one of those lines where it's best just to not think about those things and enjoy them for what they are.

Are you sure? Everything looks exactly the same as what I remember the TR one looked like. I’ll admit I don’t have the TR one, but I’m positive it looks exactly the same.

Well the TR figure doesn't have an action gimmick so that should've been your first clue that it wasn't the same figure..

If it's the exact same thing as the Scout original but oversized to deluxe, I'll be fine with it.

I can't believe it. I actually want something from Cyberverse. Gnaw and the Scraplet are definite buys for troop building. I can just hear Bulkhead screaming like a little girl!

Ya guys know it’s not hard to google TR gnaw right? It takes lesser time to do that than writing a post saying you thinks it’s the same figure right?
It’s not the same. Transformation and over all look is but it’s smoother with less detail and he’s a gimmick.

Grimlock actually looks really good! I’m wondering how he scales with the Warrior class.
I want to like Deadlock, I really do. But man... those proportions.
Ironically, I really want Spark Armor Bumblebee. Battleships are dope and something rarely explored in Transformers, and that Bee is the most show-accurate Deluxe/Warrior/whatever we’re gunna get. Glad I skipped on the first Warrior.
Alpha Trion’s robot mode looks good, but... what does he turn into? I get it’s Cybertronian, but that’s by far the most iffy alt mode ever.

It kinda looks similar to his Timelines or maaaaaybe Titan's Return ship mode. Ish. Sorta.

Also is it just me or does Gnaw look like he's wearing a romper in bot mode?
Posted by no-one on February 16th, 2019 @ 12:44pm CST
He looks very similar, but simpler. It appears his head is in his mouth instead of this throat. The arm/legs, the legs, head - all look very close and probably the transformation is almost the same, but still different, but not by much. So they if they were taking a test, they copied the answers from Titans Return, but put it in their own words.steals_your_goats wrote:Nemesis Maximo wrote:Nathaniel Prime wrote:I thought Gnaw was a rereleased version of his TR figure, but looking closely, it's actually a new mold.

I need that Prime Scraplet. Too big for scale but as a one off its cool. Gnaw, if I didnt have the TR he would be a wonderful army builder but I am happy with what I have.

Here's a really ugly comparison because I can't be assed to do any better right now.
EDIT: I do wonder how they will compare size wise though In ways the Cyberverse looks better, but I already have 6 TR Gnaws.

Yeah I see it, I see it. Since he’s a warrior class, does that mean he’ll be roughly deluxe size? I don’t know Cyververse at all really.
Also, Cary, you’ve been sigged!
