New In Package Images of Transformers Cyberworld Wave 2 Toys

Anyone else seeing this?




Probably just me, but I feel like there's some retooling potential.

I really wish these had elbows, otherwise I love how they look

Optimus and Bee are "meh," but all the rest are pretty boss.

Strawdeath on TFW just posted in hand images of Scorponok. Hate scooping from TFW but here's one pic.

Looks like hasbro has forgotten how easy it is to steal toys. Open packages with just tiny strips.
Fingernail clippers and they are all gone. Nobody would really want these but still, it's that easy.

I mean, it took them until just this year to make Studio Series boxes that can't be opened simply by pushing in on the bottom of the box, no need to cut tape or anything. They are very slow to catch on.

Meanwhile, for over a year, I saw the same SS86 Ironhide without a head on the shelves at Walmart. I kept reporting it, they kept putting it back. They have zero fawks to give.

I recently got my first Cyberworld toy with that big Grimlock. It is way, WAY better than I expected. Sure, the bot is flat, but it does look awesome. Plus the dino mode isn't bad either, once the legs are properly transformed. I didn't expect all that FLAT black paint. Usually, it's always glossy or metallic paint. To see flat "powdered" paint on a toy is a refreshing change.

The one feature I like the most about that Grimlock is the pilotable "mech" mode. I tried 3 riders:

First, the authentic "scout" one. He cannot truly sit, but it works.


Then, the Classic deluxe. Nope. It doesn't.


Finally, the G1 Pretender. He cannot sit at all, but the fit is PERFECT. Pretender Grimlock's feet fit snugly on the seat, and his height is tailored to him. Bonus points, his gun can be pegged on almost all ports.


For around the price of a deluxe, this big Grimlock is a ton of fun!

Got my Transformers CYBERWORLD Ultimate Cyber Changers Megatron, A.K.A G1 Houndatron.

Compared to the original, he have a new head (with the mask gimmick removed) a new chest part, and 2 new accessories. I have no idea if that original Hound came with a gun of some sort.



Armed up, this new Megatron looks fantastic, but I just wish he had more paint. Especially on his feet and under (where the vehicle's missile pods are) and on the vehicle's windows. I understand that it was to keep his G2 colors as close as possible to the original, but it does not excuse the lack of windows paint.





Despite the no-windows of the vehicle, it still look great and it rolls perfectly. The overall colors are also great. Plus, the new accessories give a basket to the vehicle so that he can carries his baby to school!







Overall, for the price of a deluxe, this new Megs is very, very worth it.

Cyberworld has arrived with not much of a bang. That wasn't entirely unforseen since the show is very much a short ad for toys that are very clearly meant for younger kids. Then again, the boxes indicate 6 and up, but after handling them and seeing reviews, the toys seem more akin to 5 year olds, like a slight step above Rescue Bots. Nothing wrong with that as a toy but they seemed marketed towards older kids. A review below compares them to Beast Wars basics, which have similar easy transformations, similar price points (when taking inflation into account) and the same target audience, and the result of that comparison isn't pretty, showcasing a major downgrade in 30 years time.

You can derive your own conclusion from the reviews. The larger toys seem to be faring better, with our own Kanrabat writing a nice review for Grimlock. You can find it after the various video reviews. Enjoy!

We also gave a run-down of most of the released Cyberworld stuff last episode https://www.seibertron.com/transmission ... rld/48653/

So far, I ADORE Cyberworld. The designs are creative, the toys feels good in hand, and they are fun to fiddle with. I'm looking for my Amazon orders to finally deliver.

I'm intrigued by the different takes on these characters that I've got all of them (except for Ultimate Megatron which I can't find anywhere online). Galleries are in progress but are a week or so away.

I'm far more excited about Chop Shop thanks to his connection to Beast Wars Insecticon (though this really makes me want to call Insecticon "Chop Shop" now after disliking that name usage from 29 years ago.

Thanks for the round-up, William-James. I added "toy news" category to the story.

Does anyone know where I can order Ultimate Megatron?

Is that the G2 repaint/remold of the gimmicky TLK Hound?
If yes, I bought mine at Canadian Walmart online. So logically, it will pop in an American Walmart sooner or later.

It's a Walmart exclusive. Not sure if it will show up on walmart.com or just be found in stores.

Is this it? I thought there was supposed to be two waves but it seems like all the figures were dumped at once. Like everyone else I'm looking for that G2 Megs but have no idea what's after that.
