Review Roundup of all Transformer Cyberworld Toys Released: Mixed to Disappointing Reactions

Posted by william-james88 Aug 14, 2025 at 2:35pm CDT 34,350 views
Cyberworld has arrived in stores in the west with not much fanfare. 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. My 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 and G2 Megatron. You can find it after the various video reviews. Enjoy!


Balmatrix reviews Cyber Changers Snarl, Megatron, Optimus Prime and Skybyte


That Toy Guy reviews most of the first wave:


Chuckdawg 1999 reviews Armored Cyber Changer Galvatron:


I review Cyber Changer Mirage:


Long's Toys reviews Cyber Changer Elita-1, Starscream, Chop Shop, Armored Optimus Prime and Wheeljack:






TRDQ reviews the massive Scorponok toy:


Finally here is Kanrabat's written review for Grimlock and the Walmart Exclusive G2 coloured Megatron:

-Kanrabat- wrote: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!


-Kanrabat- wrote: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. ;)^

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.

I thought that more figures were coming too. Wasn't they suppose to have a couple dinos and like an elephant or giraffe? They are arms for Prime and Megatron?

You're confusing :HASBRO: 's Cyberworld with :TAKARATOMY: 's Wild King. I don't know if Cyberworld is a Hasbro exclusive, but Wild King is Takara's, only in Japan.

Yep thanks, you are correct. I thought there was some crossover, or assumed.

With the exception of Snarl, Starscream, Scorponok, and G2 Megs, I have everyone so far, and they are really damn neat and fun.

Grimlock alone makes the line worth it, with his riding mode and walker armor mode.

If these guys had a swivel head and elbows of any kind, they would be perfectly ideal, but even as is they are great fun

Enter the Cyberworld

Seibertron.com is proud to launch our first Transformers Cyberworld toy galleries! The opening wave of Cyber Changers has arrived, featuring Snarl, Sky-Byte, Megatron, and Optimus Prime.

Transformers: Cyberworld is Hasbro’s newest cartoon tie-in line, built around a unified 4-inch scale and designed for cross-compatibility across all price points. Whether city, desert, ocean, or jungle, every character is tied to one of Cyberworld’s environments, bringing fresh alt mode choices and play features. Factions take a back seat in this line, putting the focus on the environments themselves.

The Cyber Changers are the core assortment. These figures feature shoulder, hip, and knee articulation and use internal auto-transform mechanisms that handle some of the conversion. While the simplicity of this style has been divisive among fans, the molds still feature some nice detailing that stands out in this scale. Wave 1 includes Optimus Prime, Megatron, Snarl, and Sky-Byte.

These are the very first of many Cyberworld galleries to come. Work on photographing the first three waves has been ongoing since late July, and more characters will be added to Seibertron.com soon. As always, we present these toys in the same way we do any Transformers figures, and we look forward to hearing what fans think of the line in our Energon Pub forums.

I LOVE this line. The toys look great, are weird and original, and are fun to fiddle with. Totally a worthy entry to the Galleries!

Cyberworld Cyber Changers Wave 2

Seibertron.com continues our coverage of the Transformers Cyberworld line with new galleries from the second wave of Cyber Changers. Following up on the Wave 1 Cyber Changers we shared recently, Wave 2 adds four more characters to the lineup: Bumblebee, Elita-1, Wheeljack, and Starscream.

Like Wave 1, these four-inch figures feature shoulder, hip, and knee articulation along with quick-change transformations. Each one is also tied to one of Cyberworld’s four environments:

  • Bumblebee (Desert) transforms into an offroad car in two steps.
  • Elita-1 (Ocean) converts into a futuristic speedboat in three steps, with 5 mm connection points for added play options. Her design draws inspiration from the IDW character Riptide.
  • Wheeljack (City) changes from robot to race car in two steps, keeping with the simple conversion style of the assortment.
  • Starscream (City) turns into a Cybertronic fighter jet in four steps, featuring ball-jointed shoulders and hips for extra posing.

These are the latest additions to Cyberworld, a line built around a consistent 4-inch scale and cross-compatibility across all price points. Work on photographing the first three waves has been ongoing since late July, and many more galleries are still to come. As with all Transformers toys, we present these figures as they are and invite fans to share their thoughts about the line in our Energon Pub forums.

Armored Cyber Changers

Seibertron.com continues our Transformers Cyberworld coverage with new galleries from the first two waves of Armored Cyber Changers. Following up on our Cyber Changers Wave 1 and Cyber Changers Wave 2, these figures expand the line with added play value by packaging each four-inch Cyber Changer with a large geared weapon system.

This assortment includes Bumblebee, Galvatron, Optimus Prime, and Chop Shop:

  • Bumblebee (City) transforms into a muscle car in two steps and comes with a blaster cannon that deploys two side-blades when activated. The blades can detach and be used individually.
  • Galvatron (Desert) converts into a Junkion-inspired dragon in four steps. His flame blaster features a spreading barrel effect and removable flame pieces, plus a detachable tail weapon.
  • Optimus Prime (Desert) becomes an armored off-road truck in two steps, with a large cannon that opens to reveal detachable wings. Blast effects can be attached to either the gun barrel or the wings.
  • Chop Shop (Desert) changes into a stag beetle in four steps. He comes with a pincer-based weapon system that can be reconfigured in multiple ways. His design draws from several classic insectoid Transformers, most notably Beast Wars Insecticon.

As with the standard Cyber Changers, articulation is limited to the shoulders, hips, and knees, but the added weapon gimmicks give these figures a different kind of play value. Work on Cyberworld galleries has been ongoing since late July, with more still to come across the line.

Cyberworld Expands with Grimlock, Scorponok, Mirage, and Megatron!

Seibertron.com continues our Transformers Cyberworld coverage with new galleries from the larger-scale and deluxe-style figures in the toyline. Following up on the earlier Cyber Changers Wave 1, Cyber Changers Wave 2, and Armored Cyber Changers, this latest gallery update introduces some of the biggest and most ambitious toys in the Cyberworld line so far.

The latest Cyberworld galleries include:

  • Ultimate Cyber Changer Megatron (Desert) - a retool of The Last Knight Knight Armor Turbo Changer Hound, redesigned in Generation 2 Megatron colors. He includes a removable blaster and a new "Ride & Battle" gunner platform for smaller Cyberworld figures.
  • Strike Battle Set Scorponok (Desert) - Standing 14 inches tall, he converts from robot to scorpion in four steps and features multiple connection ports, lights, and sounds. Smaller Cyberworld toys can ride in or interact with his various weapon and platform modes. His design draws inspiration from Transformers Energon Scorponok (who was Seibertron.com's 10th gallery way back in 2004).
  • Chomp and Battle Grimlock (Jungle) joins the Cyberworld toy line! Transforming into a robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex in four steps, Grimlock can be configured as a mech suit or turret platform for smaller figures, and his arms feature action weapon functions. His parts can even swap with Scorponok's arms for added play options.
  • Mirage (City) appears as a standard Cyber Changer in this lineup, converting into a jet in four steps. The mold was retooled from Starscream.

As of this update, Ultimate Megatron has not yet been released in the United States, but is available for pre-order at Walmart.com. Mirage has also yet to appear in stores, though it can be ordered online at Walmart.com. Scorponok is already seeing discounts, currently 50% off as part of Amazon's sales week: Amazon.com listing.

Special thanks to fellow Seibertronian -Kanrabat- for the hookup on Ultimate Megatron from Canada.

These additions close out our first phase of Transformers: Cyberworld coverage, which has been in development since late July. More to come as the line continues to roll out at retail and online!
