All toys are packaged equally, nothing is shortpacked even though that term doesn't have the same resonance when it comes to repacks.
We have another brand new toy revealed with NDA toys showing us pictures of Ultra Class Thunderhowl. While his look is similar to the deluxe, there are some big differences such as the red cape and the wolf head being smaller in proprtion to the rest of the body compared to the deluxe. This makes for a much sleeker torso. He has two weapons and the wold head is removable for a different robot mode look. He does have the Energon battle armor gimmick on top of all this, making for lots of play options for kids.
Product info:
TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE ULTRANSFORMERS THUNDERHOWL
The battle for control of Cybertron is on between the heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons on the Cyberverse Adventures animated series! With energon armour, both sides can harness incredible new powers, including the ability to convert energy into cool looking armour that allows them to fight in new ways. This extra layer of super-charged protection will be useful in the battles ahead. See how these new powers will be used to defend Cybertron or threaten it. Thunderhowl draws his Thunder Blade weapon to harness the power of an energon armour power up! Children can collect other Ultra Class figures (each sold separately, subject to availability) to discover more exciting characters from the Transformers Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures series!

Don't know why but I want this toy more than any upcoming earthrise deluxe.

Even though I never watched a single Cyberverse episode, I'm with you on this one. The TF main line need fresh blood. But don't milk it to death like Windblade. We need MANY more new and original characters and Cyberverse is sure a fertile ground!

And especially if they keep Thunderhowl's Cyberverse personality as a chivalrous "Knight of the Primes". He is wonderful!

Make me want to watch the show. I dropped RID, but everyone speak well of Cyberverse.
I don't have cable so I'll just sail the seven seas.

You can pretty much just skip season 1 since it's like a completely different show. Though, Season 1 does have some decent-to-great episodes, it's just that it's beginning is very meh and the gimmick of Bumblebee's radio clips does get old very fast. But once it gets going, it's good and only gets better. Season 2 is pretty solid all around while Season 3 is phenomenal.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And especially if they keep Thunderhowl's Cyberverse personality as a chivalrous "Knight of the Primes".

Yeah, cuz he's amazing, and probably because he isn't a character that we've gotten 20 times over the past 10 years

No, Hammerbyte is a brand new character.
I too hope characters from Cyberverse get absorbed into the broader fandom. Iaconus and Croaton definitely need to join the Titan ranks. And Thunderhowl, Hammerbyte, Wild wheel, Meteorfire, Clobber, and Shadow Striker deserve to keep going. And we need Whirl, Rack n' Ruin, Dead End, Astrotrain etc. need to keep these personalities and prominence. This totally was the show that put Dead End on the map (just look at my profile pic!).
I like the looks of Thunderhowl's toy. Both of his toys look great, I think i will get both of them.
Funny how the Ultra's of characters like Clobber, RnR, and Thunderhowl are much better than the rest. Same with Grimlock and what looks like Iaconus in the Ultimate class.
Shame though, I was looking forward to seeing ultra Skullsmasher, but still no reveal for them. Smasher and Iaconus are the only 2 that still need official images

And Rescue Bots Academy is even introducing a third (fourth if you count the Dweller as the third) new Titan: Citadel Secondus (spoiler tags since the episode hasn't aired in the U.S. yet). So now is a mighty fine time for all-new Titans.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Iaconus and Croaton definitely need to join the Titan ranks.

I am so jealous. I can only watch part of S2, and that’s because I cheat and go on Dailymotion. Netflix only has S1 so far. But yeah, amazing time for new Titans! I feel like if Cyberverse got a fourth season, the mystery of the Dweller, I think he’s Vigilem, personally,, would have been a gold mine of a story arc that the writing team would’ve knocked out of the park.

This voyager sized toy is just shy of $20.
The images were originally posted on the TFW2005 boards. You can click here to see some official images of this figure.

He was more blue onscreen, like his stock photography.

I plan to as well. They both look good so far, and I want to support the characters I like, the new characters that I liked, and the fact that it looks to be a good and enjoyable toy.
Hopefully I can fit them onto my Cyberverse shelf. They only have the 1 shelf! And I still gotta get Iaconus, Thunderhowl, Arcee, and Maccadam up there. And maybe Skullsmasher if they actually ends up coming out

As for the armor gimmick, it's pretty silly that this cat is wearing a whole DESTROYER as armor, but it's very cool despite the limited articulation points.
Maybe worth full price, but it's a must if found on sale!

I got it once but really disliked it so I put it back. Not sure what it was exactly, I just know I wasn't a fan.
Several of these figures have actually been disappointing me lately. I just got Rack N Ruin and I really dislike it. The extra articulation does not help the figure much. The the shoulder articulation being obstructed by that big wheel on his arms, creating a clearance issue and resulting in the arm popping off. Plus that alt mode looks unfinished. Will be returning him.
The other one that dissapointed me was Deluxe Hot Rod (Grimlock was fine though, I have no issues with him). Hot Rod is also hindered in his articulation with the way he is done in robot mode. I do like the alt mode though. I did make fun of its rather boxy shape but this toy is a good realization of that change.

Anyway, I'm very selective in my Cyberverse purchases. I've yet to buy any deluxes. The only ones that I'm looking forward to right now are Arcee and that wolf guy. I'll buy them both full price when they come out.

Here are quick descriptions of the toy from Dirge121 and einhazard who shared their thoughts on the TFW2005 boards along with the images you see below.
Dirge121 wrote:Ball joints in the shoulders and hips
Swivels at the biceps and thighs
Hinge knees and elbows
Ball jointed wrists and Universal ankles
Wolf head can open its mouth and pivot up and down at the base of the neck and the base of the skull.
He’s really only missing a neck swivel in robot mode.
einhazard wrote:Pros:
Cool design; I like that the tail is a sheath rather than a sword
The energon armor isn't super obtrusive (you can just straight-up ignore its existence if you want)
Transformation that's a little more complex than I thought. (but it's still basically the same as the armor-up cheetor)
crazy articulation for an Ultra
Cons:
The cape MUST BE REMOVED to do the armor but they don't make it easily removable (this is the worst part, and would not be a hassle if you didn't have to apply a stupid amount of force to get it to clip in. Ironically, you can transform him just fine with the cape on)
You have to pull the wolf head off the chest to make the armor work
Floppy hips

Please remind me friends, we are getting a Deluxe of this guy too right?
Because this version looks pretty dang cool. I might like to have this biggon over the deluxe.

Yes, there is a Deluxe too. But the wolf head doesn't appear to detach from that version.Cobotron wrote:ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:I think having to take the wolf head off for the armor can be forgiven in light of what a cool sword hilt it makes

Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened. A recent example being Bumblebee from the latest Movie. It's one thing for a normal retail toy. But even the freaking MPM is wrong.

Basically ZeldaTheSwordsman doesn't think the animators should have ceded to the directors request that Bee lose his signature door wings in a bid to make bee look smaller.
