New McDonald's Transformers Cyberverse Power Of The Spark Toys

Employee at McDonald's here, the next U.S. toys will be Mattel properties. I'll try to find out if these will reach the States.

For those not in the know, the Cyberverse line finally got decent. It's still targeting a younger kids, of course, but it has been releasing toys that feel less compromised and that anyone could enjoy with the Spark Armor toys. Ratchet, in particular, was rather interesting for fans since getting a new mold for a G1 style Ratchet with an earth mode is something rarer than chicken with teeth. The last time we got an earth mode ratchet who actually had a real window chest from Hasbro was 10 years ago and it wasn't good.
So is this one any good? Well, you'll be the judge. Below are images of the toy at multiple angles. It comes with a Snowmobile which becomes armour.

For a quick review, the toy is mostly fine for the size (a tad bit bigger than scout) and while it has painted windows all across the alt mode, on all sides, there is some obvious deco missing from the robot mode. The EKG designs on the shoulders, for one. While those are painted on the renders, you'll see that the toy's final deco is very different to what we first saw. The other issue is the lack of a head rotation and bicep/thigh swivel. Though previous generations toys of this size class were also missing some of those articulation points, these are always fun to have. Skybyte is still the best in that regard due to his use of ball joints (a nice beast era homage it would seem).

Amazing car mode though, and a really nice and meaty Optimus Prime like transformation that I hope gets revisited in later Ratchet toys.

Below are images I took and a few video reviews (along with a review of his case mate Shockwave). Enjoy!

I'm excited for Ratchet, he is the other Spark armor figure I really want to get. and he looks good too!

The best part is the transformation. I am just really impressed by how neat everything ends up being in ambulance mode.

I'm looking forward to it. I love Sky Byte, Cheetor, and Grimlock, and I have high hopes for him and the Scraplets

Problem is costs have risen, animated Deluxes would cost the same or higher than what we pay for Siege Deluxes now. These are made for a lower price point.

I finally found Cyberverse Gnaw at a local Walmart.

SGM

huh. that is actually interesting transformation, and neat way of tidying up the dino parts in robot mode.

Fellow Seibertronians! While the new Transformers Cyberverse Power Of The Spark line has been steadily pushing out new figures for younglings (and adults) to enjoy, Hasbro still intends on selling at least one more release of their old Warrior class figures. Thanks to SoloJones1985 on Discord, we have our very first sighting of this 2 pack at retail. This 2 pack was found at a Tesco store in Lichfield, Staffordshire. For those who are unaware of this, this 2 pack is an unchanged release of Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Starscream in Power Of The Spark packaging. While this 2 pack has been revealed for quite some time, we haven't had any news on it until today.




Curiously, the 35th Anniversary logo that was present on the stock photos is missing from the actual retail release.

Are you UK fans interested in getting this 2 pack? Or will you (likely) be skipping this release? Tell us in the discussion below, and as always, stay tuned for more Seibertron news!

This is so ridiculous looking I'm lost for any kind of words to actually make a complete, grammatically correct sentence to describe it.

Does anyone have both Siege Ratchet and the Spark armor one?

I would love to see how the Spark armor looks on Siege Ratchet.
