I wonder what will be the size of these figures? Deluxes or scout?
Still, look interesting enough.

The detail on them suggests they are veeeery small. Legion?
Not something I'll be looking out for. And with my luck, Dutch shops will be full of these instead of PotP.

I dont know that I agree with you on that. Look at Grimmy's fist holes. If we assume those are a standard size, those look more like 5mm than the 3 that Legin used. Could totally be wrong, mind you.

Its the same as the RID warriors. A Legion packaging would be too small for the instructions to be printed in the back.
Anyways, about these toys it looks like Hasbro through their arms in the air and went "Fuck it! Fans want G1 again, here's G1 again, same tranformation, same design, same fucking everything now leave us the fuck alone!"
And about that grimlock not being a model kit, yeah I can totally concede to that now but the "no tools required" is still super odd to see.

Like the RiD Warriors though, I hope this is only an indicator of how the line will start out and not how it will continue -- and we will instead get some awesome gems later on.

Grimlock looks like he could be voyager sized, but quite hollow and simplified.

Only problem with that is that I have never ever seen a carded voyager toy. I am pretty sure this will basically be the same as the simpler RID figures like Twinferno, Stormshot and Optimus Prime instead this time it will be all G1 with no new or modern characters.
Looking forward to seeing that Megatron and Starscream though.

That's true, can;t recall ever seeing a Voyager on a card, but there's always a first time for everything no?
Megs looks like he could be a decent toy.

While it's entirely possible that Cyberverse may take some inspiration from these designs, Emiliano Santalucia has confirmed himself to be the one responsible for creating these designs, and which we refers to as his "Transformers evergreen" designs.

Now, this isn't to say that "Evergreen" is the name of a series, but rather, it appears that Santalucia is using it in the sense of these designs simply representing the characters in a basic, broad strokes format, as though they're designs meant to be used for ancillary merchandise and such.

Sure, but then we get that Grimlock who is not ancillary merchandise. He is a full on deluxe in a new line. What line would that be?

The card back and the fist holes. Cant be anything else than that size (though it may be called a different class).
We already know the evergreen designs are used for 4.5 inch toys but only for Megatron, Optimus, Starscream and BB. So this grimlock cannot be in that smaller size.
Posted by Sabrblade on September 2nd, 2017 @ 10:44pm CDT
Reasonable. Though, for all we know, the Grimlock toy itself might be for another generically-named "Transformers" line of simple dollar store toys, as its only a 7-step figure with bare minimum paint apps and seems rather limited in articulation.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:How do you know for certain that it's a Deluxe?william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Now, this isn't to say that "Evergreen" is the name of a series, but rather, it appears that Santalucia is using it in the sense of these designs simply representing the characters in a basic, broad strokes format, as though they're designs meant to be used for ancillary merchandise and such.

A main line Deluxe, even the least impressive Warriors of the RID line, don't look quite as phoned in as that Grimlock does.

That is 100% possible. All I meant was that its a deluxe sized toy not POTP and inspired by the new G1 designs we see popping up, anything else is pure speculation. And in any case, all we will need to do then is change the title of this thread but the dicsusson will all remain based on this same new line.

And, to put it forward, it seems a bit presumptuous to label these designs as part of the new Cyberverse series at this time (as per the current title of this thread).

I changed it to Evergreen for now since thats what the leaks and the designer is calling the designs. We will change it again with the official name from hascon.

The title is misleading and possibly innacurate.
We think the line is called Cyberverse, and we may be wrong about that, but they actually arent all small figures. That grimlock is delue scaled. This megatron in the image below however is more like legends scaled:
And they are both using designs called "Evergreen". That was the name used in the leaked slides that first showed the smaller megatron in the image above, along with Optimus, Bee and Starscream. It was said that only those 4 would be a smaller class, so Grimlock must be a bigger class.
Kurona, I hope that answers your question.

Eh? you sure you've got the right picture? coz all I see is G1 Predaking + some small white fig(dunno if that's supposed to be Megs or not but certainly no sign of Bee & Prime in that pic)

Small figure is indeed Megatron. As Will says:
the smaller megatron in the image above
Optimus and Bee were present in the slides that we briefly saw for a couple of days. As Will says:
the leaked slides that first showed the smaller megatron [...], along with Optimus, Bee and Starscream.
Optimus and Bee are not in the picture. They were in the slides, alongside Megatron.

It looks cheap because it's probably meant to be for a generic dollar store line.Zeedust wrote:I know I'm late to the party, but that Grimlock is terrible, even ignoring that it's such a blatant G1 rehash. Jaw doesn't open, no weapons, poorly-designed "tech" detailing (Transmetals did it better, and that was 20 years ago! Hell, it's been done better on other G1-style Grimlocks, like the FoC version.), and tail-dragger stance all really kill any enthusiasm I could have had for it. Unless they seriously screw up PotP Grimlock, this thing is just not going to measure up.

Though, IIRC, the non-transforming 4" Titan Guardian toys from the Prime line first appeared at dollar stores before mass retail, and those were new molds at the time.

The entire Cyber Battalion line are new simplified molds meant to be in a budget line. And we had leaks of a line consisting of 4 figures, all new molds, meant t be a generic dollar store line too. Granted, its a relatively new development, but we have at least 2 lines made of only new molds that fit this criteria.

Its basically the same as the Generations Legion Optimus Prime mold they have been rereleasing for years now but bigger and with odder proportions.
