First Look at More Cyberworld Toys Including Elita-1 in IDW Riptide’s Body

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?

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

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!

If they do a G1 recolour of that scorponok we are all in. He looks great. Kids are going to love these!

I wish that was true for everything in life.

Remember when Hasbro revealed the studio series line and then surprised us with wave 1 being in stock on Hasbro pulse ready to ship then and there? Kind of wish they did that with Cyberworld.

To be perfectly honest, I think this line is a breath of fresh air. This has the potential to kind of refresh the franchise a bit. This is definitely a kid oriented line with simple engineering and transformations, sure. But I think if the collectors can get past the limited articulation and simplicity, and perhaps their own (for lack of thinking of a better word)-Prejudices against kid lines, I think they will find some really fun ideas here. I absolutely love the G2 Megatron look on that Hound. It's a clever reuse in my opinion. The fresh new takes on established characters are nice. Not everything is good per say but no line ever in the franchise has been perfect. That bigger optimus, in my view is terrible. BUT that second Optimus that has the off-road pickup look is really cool. I can't help but get a Landcross vibe from him. I don't understand the mold choice for Mirage but it does look good as Starscream. I love the off-road bumblebee alt mode design. Sky-Byte is fun. Scorponok is big and beautiful. Someone else mentioned his repaints and I would be all in for them.
There's a lot of really nice creativity here. And if the line catches on a bit I think there could be even more oddball designs and repaints coming.
For several years now I have been really focusing my collection on the Generations G1 cast and strictly new characters from other lines such as Earthspark and Cyberverse. Last "kid line" I went all in on was RID 15. I bought all the warrior class figures and while yes, they were simplified compared to Prime they were still really good designs and figures.

I also can't help but see this line as a "catch all" for Hasbro. Take a bunch of designs that were intended for other lines and mix them together into one big line. That off road bee sure seems to fit the Reactivate Bee look for example.

Cyberworld looks super fun. Definitely excited for Sky-Byte and Elita.

My Amazon preorder from Grimlock had its release date move from the end of the month to the 17th... guess we'll see what happens.

Yeah, my Cyberworld Grimmy arrived on Wednesday. Posted tons of pics all over the internet already, Fun toy!

I wish that Scorponok at least had some sort of leg movement, it just continues to be cool
