Fans have decided by now if this line is for them or not. However, many fans are also parents and this line may interest your kids. Due to the very little attention given to this toyline by the youtube community, there have not been a variety of toy reviews done for all classes. The first video review for Transformers Cyberverse Grimlock was just uploaded yesterday. Since these toys are all gimmick based, these reviews can give you a good look at the actual gimmick and help you figure out if this would be a good toy for yourself or your kids.

Below you will find video reviews for all Scout class toys including Megatron, Starscream, Grimlock and Bumblebee. As you will see, those toys do not fully transform. Their gimmick remained largely unknown so this is our first good look at a few of them.

There are also videos for Ultra class Grimlock, Bumblebee and Starscream.

Enjoy!

Saw these for the first time at Target today. I didn't expect the Scouts to be so tiny, I was thinking they'd be closer to Legends size, not Legion. $8 is asking way, way, WAY too much for tiny figures that don't even transform properly.

Saw these at the store. Look like KOs to me. Supposedly made for younger kids, but they don't look like they will hold up. Price point seems high as well given how simplified they are.

Amazon.com has new listings for the never-before-seen Cyberverse Wave 2 One-Step Changers! Thankfully, they also have new stock photos to see these guys! They include Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Starscream. as you can see, these are new molds compared to wave 1, meaning they are more accurate to their show models (well, promotional pics as of late).

ONE STEP CHANGERS

Amazon.com also has new listings for the Wave 2 Attackers (previously called Scout Class) and Ultra Class. These use the Seinfield names that were used in old listings. These also have new stock photos (except for Attacker Optimus).

ATTACKER CLASS
Optimus Prime (Peterson)

Slipstream (Estelle)

Windblade (Elaine)

ULTRA CLASS
Shockwave (Krammer)

Shadow Striker (Susie)

Well, that takes care of some of the unknown listings.

So, does this make Windblade and Shadow Striker the same person?

When are these expected to be released?

The attackers name makes more sense then calling them scouts.

Those wheels on the inside of his shoulders look sooo weird.

I knew this would happen eventually, Optimus is a retool of AOE Galvatron. Here's my review from back in the day when I called the possibility of of retools. If you'd like to rub my belly for luck and wisdom it's $5 for every rotation.

Looks more like just reused transformation ideas to me.

...Which is the new name of the game. Instead of reusing most of its parts, just reuse the transformation with a few tweaks and there you go.

Not quite. The Autobot Cars and larger toys focused on retooling or switching out parts, while smaller toys like the Jumpstarters, some Mini-Bots and most Micromasters have shared transformations instead. More recently, the AoE One-Steps had a few standard schemes (the "switchblade" has become a mainstay), which RiD 2015 expanded on. Cyberverse seems to be revisiting some.

Why is it that pretty much every Shockwave of the line looks amaze balls, while the rest are quite lackluster?

Shockwave is literally way too good for the line

I think it's perfectly logical

I saw some of the scout figures yesterday megatron bumblebee stsrscream optimus and shockwave. They look like upscaled legion class figures like beast hunters tried.

They're definitely f** ugly and very overpriced for their size. I will be bypassing the series. I'd rather own a bad bot like armada hotshot than any of these, im dead serious.

Because Shockwave is objectively the best Transformer, and is deserving of such quality figures.

I'm still sad that he lost the Prime Vote

heck,
its barely a friggin Happy Meal toy.

Having once owned the entire line of the transforming Transformers: Animated Happy Meal toys, they had more play value than what I see here.

I own them all too, and they are alot more fun. But someone said that they had windup mechanisms, and I will say that they don't. The french ones do, but not the american ones that I have

i would rather play with a French Fry-bot and a Rock Lord.

The other TF-stocking department store in town has Cyberverse now, which means I got my first in-person look at Ultimate Megatron and he's possibly better than I thought from pics online. For the price (NZ$58) he's a lot of bot for the money, and he looks like fun. I quite like his headsculpt too.

So I saw Scout class Megatron in a store and something compelled me to buy him. I think it might have been the scale. I caved and bought him........ And I don't regret it. It's actually kinda fun, despite not fully transforming. I actually like the half-robot/half-tank version because it reminds me of how Animated Starscream would use his legs in jet mode to fly backwards. All in all, I don't think it's that bad for the price. It could've have been better, but it also could've been a whole lot worse.
