Video Showing Who the Cyberverse Toys are Made For

Wouldn't count it as news but I [i]do[i] get the idea of Cyberverse being a line for kids. It's just a shame they feel less impressive than the other stuff meant for kids back then like the Unicron Trilogy, Animated, or the Fast Action Battlers of the first two movies.

I think we should leave that for the kids to decide.

Mine did. They went straight from Rescue Bots to Generations because they think Cyberverse toys are junk.

As far as I remember, there was always just 1 line of transformers out at a time. Then universe/classics happened. Since then no adult collector should have the gall to complain about a toyline that wasn't thinking of the collectors.

Yeah, I can look at the Cyberverse line, judge it next to the other lines and give them a hard pass. They need to be simple for kids to work out/remember, have little-no accessories so there's less to lose/swallow and need to be the right ratio of being as durable as possible while being lightweight. I swear my '96 Optimus Primal could make short work of windows.

Right now we have Kingdom, generation selects, 2 separate studio series lines, masterpiece, R.E.D, and I'm probably missing some. Maybe we shouldn't be too upset at a toyline that features toys.

The ones who complain about Cyberverse being "kid stuff" are exactly like Bay-haters jumping into Bayverse threads just to hate on everything.
Narrow sighted people who get off on hate and complaining.

I'm really, REALLY glad that Cyberverse and Rescue bots are a thing. Because not many toddlers or 5 years old can jump straight to Generations and have fun. The kids will make precious memories, then maybe move on to Generations as they get older. Then they enter the pre-teen years and they will think that "toys are for BABIES" and move away from the fandom. Then they become adults. Those Cyberverse/Rescue Bots memories will come back... And then, start collecting again but this time, Generations, MP, 3P, and so on.

I bet that's the story for many of us. Too bad so many forgot it.

Wrong thread for this. Unless that's specifically about Cyberverse toys.

How old were they when they went from Rescue Bots to Generations? My 3 year old tried generations (like T30 Roadbuster) but found it too hard. So he went from Rescue Bots to Cyberverse. He really likes the quick conversion since he can replicate what he sees in either the G1 show/movie or the Cyberverse show and they are more show accurate than Rescue Bots (Rescue bots keeps messing with the alt modes).

As do I. And yes, it feels very G1. It was very telling that the creators developped a show that took place before the autobots in the ark woke up and then did a time jump, skipping all the Autobots vs Decepticons on Earth stuff to get to the War on Cybertron. It's like they are having the G1 show serve as the adventures that happened during that time and don't rethread on it, which I find pretty cool.

And I really like Cyberverse's approach to integrating many different continuities within a unified G1 type story and cast. So you get Cheetor, Skybyte, Lockdown and even an homage to Tarn all in the same show, along with new characters.

Yeah, the toyline may be pretty weak but I like the show. I think it's better binged than watched bit-by-bit so you can get a bit of a small movie from each season (works especially well for Season 1).

I could understand if that was the ONLY toy line produced. But as you point out, the "adult" options far outweigh the kids ones.

So to me, the complainers are either oblivious people who miss the entire point, or they are really egotistical.

It goes further back than that, when Machine Wars was out at the same time as Beast Wars.

Mistaken Table was referring to mainline toys. Machine Wars was retailer exclusive.

Well, it is the only toy line for the characters depicted in the show.

That show us a "kid show" so it's irrelevant.
Plus, the DELUXES exist. There is no excuse.

Every TF show with a toyline is a kid show. Always have been, even back in the advancely articulated days of the Beast Era.

And the Deluxes are selective and limited in this character choices. Anyone who wants a normal figure of Shadow Striker with standard articulation is up the creek.
