Coming to us from Collider and Toyark at the 2025 Toy Fair, we have the big reveal of the Cyberworld line. The line is for a young audience with very limited articulation. However, they are making the most of it with a giant Scorponok at the forefront, which acts as a base for other toys to interact with and lots of play features. That is very reminiscent of the G1 version both in size, look, and playability. The play features do encourage a lot of interaction, as you can see with Optimus interacting with the giant simple Grimlock. Below we have official stock images and images from the Toy Fair floor. The floor has more characters than seen in the stock images, which includes Chop Shop in Barrage colors. Also check out that G2 inspired Megatron using the 3 step TLK Hound mold.

As for the show, there will be 36 episodes on youtube that are 5 minutes long.

Since the Cyberworld set is all about adaptability, it's only fitting that Scorponok — a notable foe from Michael Bay's Transformers and its sequel, Revenge of the Fallen — is made to fit with all the Cyber Changers figures. This large-scale toy doubles as a play set with battle stations, a chest cockpit, and a cyber bike for the bots to go to war with in either of its forms. Moreover, it's able to swiftly and simply transition between its forms, whether you need a heavily armed mega-bot that towers above the rest or a beefed-up tank built to plow through the battlefield. Completing the package are a handful of interactive features, including a buzzsaw, claw hand, a sharp tail that converts into a powerful blade, and unique lights and sounds for each mode. Such a well-armed toy is a bit more costly though, retailing for $59.99.

Grimlock will be available for $29.99 while Megatron sells for $24.99, the armored Bumblebee and Galvatron figures go for $14.99, and the rest retail for $9.99.

All these figures look great. I think out of all the lines we've had over the last few years that were "Kid Friendly" this is the one I'm most excited for.

The rest goes from serviceable like Optimus, to totally epic and rad like Scorponok. Sky-Bite is funny and Fat G2 Megs is an obvious pre-tool for a possible return of AoE/TLK Hound!

Its not a pre tool, this IS the retool. They used the same TLK mold we already got, and you can still see Hound's head visibly molded in at the front of the vehicle.

Also, Sky Byte does have a precedent for that look:

So, that's a Hound that already existed before.
And, yup.

As for Sky-Bite, this makes the toy 100% legitimate to own for any serious, hardcore, and "mature" collector.

Man do I ever want that stupid ugly Scorponok, Megabull, and Sky-byte.

Also if they're doing this for Scorponok, I want to PLEAD with Hasbro to make an Omega Spreem.

Scorponok's colors remind me of his Marvel UK coloring with a dash of Energon Scorponok's colors:

Or maybe Superlink Megazarak:

Why they keep forgetting to give Scorponok all of his shoulder cannons is just meh. Kind of looks more like the spider slayer figure from the 90s so maybe it will get reused later on.

Speaking of reuse, that megatron us awful. Some of the others look good. Junkion dino will be a buy, bulls bot mode looks good. Looks like the unknowns or characters that aren't overly recognisable/poor representations will be tempting.

Hopefully kids will like them all

Scorponok is definitely the show stopper in this line. He wouldn't look out of place with a bunch of Action Masters hanging off him. Maybe they can redo him in Double Punch colors.

Somebody on Reddit (not sure if they're the source or not) pointed out that there's more figures in the background not part of the display. Alt modes don't mean anything in this line, but they appear to be Starscream, Elita 1, Barrage (using a Shrapnel body), and another Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

For those that want to see, here's Knight Armor Hound from TLK. Looking at the figure it doesn't seem like much was done to Megatron besides a new head and gun.

I just had to order him, so when Megs come out, I'll have both side-by-side. It cost me below 30$CAN shipped from Norway. Meaning around the full price it was at the time, I guess? :-?

Not interested in this line, but if Hasbro comes up with decent Deluxes, I'll snap up a few as I lilke the concept designs.

Earthspark's Terrans got awesome Deluxes. Hope Hasbro will do the same for Cyberworld.

Agreed. I hope we will get some decent deluxes or a voyager or two.

Which really isn't worth watching since he mostly focuses on the negative and goes on about how cheap and ugly this line looks.

That's a sentiment many, many fans are sharing. They're forgetting that children are the backbone of Transformers. Without new fans coming in, the franchise is would have never last 40 years.

One argument I hear often is "kids don't like simple Transformers," unknowingly projecting their own tastes upon them. This is ironically a lack of maturity from these fans.

Ben’s World of Transformers has some pretty cool images of Cyberworld toys that we have not covered yet. We have an Elita-1 which uses the body of MTMTE’s Riptide, which is very peculiar. We also get a better look at Choo Shop who is very reminiscent of insect themed toys from the Beast Wars era and in a G1 Venom Livery. There’s also Starscream and off road versions of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. These toys are 4 inches tall and have the same articulation and complexity as the Rise of the Beasts Battle Changers.

Comment by Bounti76 Mar 2, 2025

That does look a lot like Riptide, though Elita One being a boat isn't without precedent. Her very first ever toy was from Botcon 2009, where she turned into a boat (redeco of Cybertron Thunderblast).

I really love that bug guy.
Damn, there's so much win in this line.

But... but... I'm a SERIOUS, passionate, RRRREEEEAAAAALLLLLL collector. I shouldn't like these. Rrrrriiiiiiight? :roll:

This may be the line I'll be buying the most from this year.
No joke.

I don’t know about the line in general, but I’m loving that Insecticon

Comment by Bumblevivisector Mar 3, 2025

There's something I love about Mirage's new Quinjet (is that what they're going for?) mode. Or maybe it's supposed to look like Courageous, the Guardian GoBot Power Warrior?

The Skybite-mobile is just so adorable, I may have to bite.

And as big a mess as that Grimlock is, I kind of like the idea that he turns into a throne/power-loader for Optimus Prime that looks like it could eat him. A play pattern intended to homage conflicts the two have had over the generations? And could making Grimlock and Scorpinok counterparts be an homage to Maximum Dinobots?

Not sure I'll end up buying anything from this line until I find it on clearance, but I'll certainly watch every tiny episode ASAP!
