First Look at Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Class Hot Rod In Package

That's one red Rod.

Those flame blast effects look pretty sweet though.

It's lagniappe.

Got it

So I take we shouldn't expect to see BAF make a return?

Should we expect the quality of Cyberverse figures to continue to rise? Or is this line coming to the end of it's life cycle?

I am unreasonable excited to see Hot Rod with his flame accessories attached. He looks decent! could use more paint, but he looks pretty good overall

Oof, that Deluxe Hot Rod is very lacking in paint or other colors. I was hoping they'd be able to budget enough into this figure to make him look closer to his onscreen look:

As with the other figures, that is not a $20 looking figure, shame, they've got great designs, and are finally getting some complexity to them, but they just are not $20 figures

I dunno, I would say I'm finding while they dont look great comparatively, they do feel great to transform and they've grown on me. If they ditched the BAF element and went for better paint (and QC) I wouldn't have a single complaint. Not that I hate the BAF mind you but it's meh quality at best.

Considering some of the lack of color issue on this figure could have been settled with different color plastics, it is a bit disappointing. His thighs could have been done in yellow to better match the screen appearance, and it looks like his spoiler is red also which could have been just different plastic.

Such a cute Monsterbot

Greetings Seibertronians! As a break from all the Wonder Festival pictures, fellow Seibertron user and YouTube reviewer, Chuckdawg1999 as dropped us a line to let us know that he's done a review of one of the newest entries to the Cyberverse One-Step Changer line, Monsterbot Repungus!

Here's what Chuck has to say about this cute little monster of mayhem and we've embedded the review below for you to check out!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:This has to be one of the best if not the best One-Step Changers I've ever handled. The transformation is new and something I'd like to see used again, possibly with the other Monsterbots. The arms are by far the most articulated of any simplified figure utilizing ball-joints in the shoulders and elbows. I always say the One-Step Changers make for the perfect desk toy but Repugnus exemplifies the term. If you're someone who automatically turns their nose up at the mere mention of the phrase One-Step, you need to give this figure a look.

Will you be giving Repungus a chance? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

I can't recall ever handling a better 1-step-former either. A perfect downscaling of the original toy, sacrificing spark-spewing for an adorable grin.

Got him and Bludgeon at Wixom Target yesterday.

Greetings Seibertronians! Fans of the Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Class line may want to take note as half of Wave 2 has been found in one of the Toy World in Doncaster, Australia. This was reported by the Transformers Facebook page, Till All Are Fun. Grimlock and Hotrod were found on the shelf, meaning that there's only Arcee and Thunderhowl left to see. As with all the figures in this line, each comes with another component of Maccadams, the second Transformers Build a Figure attempted after Transmutate from the Beast Wars 10th anniversary line.

We have mirrored the sighting photographs below.









Will you be tracking these two down? Are you chomping at the bit to complete Maccadams? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Grimlock has his crown! He truly is king!

Wow, that Grimlock looks pretty nifty! and I love the crown!!

That's the one part I am not too fond of. I wish it were an optional component, like with some starscreams. Will still get it though, I like what they've done with the robo feet.

In hand images of he latest scout class figure from the Transformers Cyberverse line were posted on he Cybertron Cafe Facebook page. I am referring to scout class Ramjet. We saw in package images before and it was thought that this might be the first toy in this class to be able to actually transform rather than simply transform half way. And that seems to be right....kinda. as you can see below, Ramjet can achieve a jet mode. However, the nosecone is not leveled properly. This may be due to the cranium crush gimmick. This toy and his wave mates Dead End and Optimus are currently available at Targets in the US.

Let us know what you think.

Neat. I saw that Ramjet at Target yesterday. They also had Dead End, Grimlock, and the axe-wielding Optimus in that size too.

Same here, saw them at my local Target. Ramjet looks pretty cool!

So... pretty excited about Arcee. Didn't even know she was on the way.

What makes you think it doesn't come off?

Tons of new toy reveals to coincide with the Season 3 trailer - https://collider.com/transformers-cyber ... ters-toys/

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Sabrblade we've learned that Collider has posted a new article featuring not just the season 3 Transformers Cyberverse trailer, but a ton of images of upcoming toys for the Cyberverse line including Hammerbyte, Thunderhowl, and new versions of Optimus Prime, Megatron, a new Cyvbertronian alt mode Starscream, and a Cybertronian alt mode Bumblebee! You can find the Collider article HERE but we've mirrored the images for you below. Share your thoughts in the forum and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Thanks again to Seibertronian Full-Tilt for letting us know that Autobase Aichi on Twitter posted images of Rack N Ruin found at Forbidden Planet in Glasgow Scotland. These images originate from Twitter users GeshGav and Llama Godrespectively.
The Cyberverse line has some gives and takes in regards to detail and articulation but for a character that fans have waited to see for this long that looks this neat any detractors are likely to be silenced. Doubly so.

Enjoy the images and share your thoughts in the forum. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

I might need that Starscream

Although there are some neat looking designs and characters here, I just cant get into collecting this line. Ive tried several times but utimately ended the same way.

Holy crap, there is some good stuff here!

Those 2 new bots look really good, especially Thunderhowl. That is a fantastic original character for the deluxe price point.

And that Rack n' Ruin!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!!!

That’s the same Bumblebee I found awhile back. Have to say, there are some cool ones coming out for this line, holy crap.

SGM

Not big on Cyberverse but Thunderhowl looks like a dope saturday morning cartoon super robot.

Starscream cosplaying as a Jedi Starfighter.




Looks like a pretty good figure plus he has knees AND elbows and a non-intrusive play feature so he should be decent.

I like Thunderhowl, but I think the original art with blue and silver looks better than the blue and gold, hopefully that changes. Still, I'll be more than happy to get a big knightly bot no matter what the color scheme ends up being.

Megatron's looking like a Tarn retool waiting to happen with that new double barreled canon.

Hammerbyte looks like a repurposed Sky-Byte figure that never happened. Also when did the word bite become too violent to use so the new guy has to use the old guy's spelling? Just because they're robots doesn't mean you get to use the same play on words twice.

I don't see it as an extra accessory in the box. But hey, if it comes out then that's great.

Anyways, here is me looking at these reveals

Same. A whole new Seeker alt mode. Kinda did a little dance and everything. Can I see that in 31 different flavors please?

So, Starscream turns into a giant pair of scissors now.

He better not run around with himself.

Dude! What is with that thunderhowl figure? He looks sick af

Hellscream9999 wrote:Dude! What is with that thunderhowl figure? He looks sick af

So sick he’s barfing blue lightning. Yikes.

Thunderhowl has certainly found a place in this Pred's heart.

It certainly looks like a cloak/cape trend. It’s like they’re animalistic knights of Cybertron.

Oh, Stargrave. How I've missed you and your humor

Speaking of flavors, does this itch your hunger?

Stargrave wrote:It certainly looks like a cloak/cape trend. It’s like they’re animalistic knights of Cybertron.

I'm guessing from their designs that Thunderhowl, Hammerbyte, Iaconus and possibly Meteorfire will be this show's answer to the Knights of Cybertron, or perhaps the Knights of Iacon from the Michael Bay films but with more diverse alt modes rather than parts of a dragon.

Stargrave wrote:It certainly looks like a cloak/cape trend. It’s like they’re animalistic knights of Cybertron.

It's one of the rules of Super Robots, everything looks better with a Cape or a cloak.

Galaga Starscream looks awesome

Some great figures there. Especially Thunderhowl and Hammerbyte.

Finally out Wreckers crews can be complete

Just saw these at a local Target. First time seeing them in a store. Repugnus is pretty cool looking and Bludgeon has some really nice color too him. It was very tempting to buy both but had to pass for now.

That Bludgeon is fine if you are 4, but I wouldn't recomend him to anyone older, he's not that great.

That bad, dang. I guess the only part i liked was his tank mode. It’s a line I don’t really collect so no real lose.

If you like the tank mode, then try to find a loose copy of the one from RID, it's the same tank.

Gotcha. Thanks!

I think it’s cool how just a murmur of Bludgeon gets us all pepped up Ooo! Bludgeon! I’m the same.

He’s such an interesting character. This show is great it keeps pulling fans in with the use of these cool characters new and old.
