Transformers Beast Wars Reissue Tigatron and Scorponok Listings on Walmart.com and Tigatron in Stock

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!

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

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.

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

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!).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
