Transformers Beast Wars Reissue Cybershark Revealed

Thanks to Preternia on Twitter, we have our first look at the next offering from the Beast Wars Reissue line: Cybershark!

Cybershark was the original Beast Wars shark, transforming from a wicked robot to hammerhead shark. His base tooling would go on to be the inspiration for Beast Wars II Hellscream and Beast Wars Neo Sharpedge, while he would also get a Transmetal II toy that would eventually end up repainted into fan favorite character Sky Byte in Robots in Disguise.

Preternia was only able to offer the stock images, but we anticipate that a link on Walmart will be coming soon. It is estimated that Cybershark will retail for approximately $22.99, in line with the deluxe Cheetor and Tigatron releases.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below!

Of all the old Beast Wars toys to reissue, Cybershark seems like an odd choice. My best guess as to why is that maybe Hasbro are making a new Cybershark toy in the near future (or a new Sky-Byte with the intention to repaint it into Transmetal 2 Cybershark), and this reissue ensures that the "Maximal Cybershark" trademark is freshly minted and ready to use for a new toy. This probably isn't the case, but it kind of makes sense to me.

Would be awesome if you were right

Nice. This guy was one of my favorite non-show characters.

Maybe they just had the mold available.I'm super happy he's getting reissued, my Cybershark has been missing a fin ever since he was given to me second hand 25 years ago.

Cybershark is the only version of that mold i don't own, so I am really excited to have the original

Was one of the Cybershark remolds used in a Universe set way back in the early/mid 2000s?

Yes. The Beast Wars Second retool as Hellscream was ever so slightly redecoed (as in a few paint apps were removed and a Decepticon symbol was stamped onto his chest) as Universe Overbite.

Super excited about this one, he's a figure I always wanted but waited too long to get at the time. My collection will be much more complete with the release of Rattrap, Tigatron and now Cybershark. Still need a few more '96 and '97 Basic and Deluxe figures to complete my collection so I hope they can keep this going, especially if they're now doing non-cartoon characters (please do Wolfang and Bonecrusher!).

He does have a slight retooling that TFWiki doesn't mention but is pretty obvious when they're side by side. Hasbro blunted Overbite's nose by sticking a ball on it.

Really odd choice indeed.
I would rather they reissued characters that have updated renditions such as Dinobot or AirRazor.
Hope they reissue Inferno. That big red ant was cool.

Unfortunately not a single Beast Wars reissue figures in Iceland. My hobby store is full of cyberverse and kingdom figures. But most of them are figures that no-one seems to want or are overpriced here.

That's cool he's being re-released as I didn't really get back into collecting until transmetals.

I was lucky a couple of years ago to grab a K-9 MOSC and a MIB takara Buzzsaw for really cheap which was super cool.

I saw one Tigatron at Walmart today, but the packaging was so bent and beat up it looked as if someone had tried to steal the Tigatron inside but gave up since the bubble itself was still sealed.

I spotted Scorponok and Tigatron today at a local Walmart here in Missouri. I only bought Scorponok at the time, who knows i might buy Tigatron later. This was my first reissue to purchase and was excited in seeing him in the store.
I did my own comparison shot with Kingdom Scorponok.

For those who have bought Scorponok, did you have any issues with the left claw not locking back into place? I never owned the original version, so not sure if i am doing something wrong. Its a straight forward process. For now i have it secured with the clear bands that come with it.

Otherwise i am happy with him and looking forward to buying Cybershark.

Very nice, I am going to wait to see him in stores to make a decision, he looks neat in pictures, but I want to see the box in person, has made me regret a couple or like a couple more than I did in pictures

Did you make sure to flip up the bee's head and legs before closing the wing shells?

Yes i did, in fact i repeated that a few times. I actually went back and watched the video review from Primevs.Prime. He stated that you had to push it in with some extra effort/force to get to stay but noted about it being tricky to stay put. I just didn’t want to break anything.

Thank you though!

Jeeze, this one sure isn't going to be rare in my area.

There was a few more on the top shelf. They were hanging these from a peg you can't see on the left of the stack, but apparently after this big restock they needed to be more creative. No idea why they stock these with the JP figures.

Holy cow, talk about a restock and funny that they are blended in with the JP stuff. One of the local Walmarts near me I think had maybe 8 of those on the shelf. What is still taking up shelf space where i am at is Optimus Primal and Megatron. It almost replicates the photo you took of Scorponok.

Wow, I am still seeing stacks of Primal and Megatron. Might be a bit before I see him

My Walmart currently has lots of Primals, Megatrons, Scorponoks, and only five Tigatrons.

Funny considering how Cheetor and Rattrap were previously the most abundant ones at that store.
