Transformers Cyberverse Hammerbyte and Cybertronian Starscream Found at US Walmart

Posted by william-james88 Mar 3, 2020 at 8:04pm CST 33,677 views
A friend of the site, Michael, sent some cool news our way. He spotted the new Cyberverse Warrior figures, Starscream and Hammerbyte. These warrior figures seem to have more articulation than before and that Strarscream has a nice new cybertronian alt mode. These were found at a Walmart in Florida. These are part of a rebranded Cyberverse line called Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures. Yearly rebranding is common in longer toylines to let stores know that these toys are new.

If you find these toys, let the community know through our forums.

Even the show switches to using the rebranding by the 13th episode of Season 3. Yet, Bumblebee is not the main character at that point in the show. Sure, he stars in some of those episodes, but usually shares the spotlight with at least one or two other characters.

Funny thing is, despite the better quality and good looking toy, I have no interest in actually getting a toy of this Starscream

Here's Hammerbyte by the way. Was more concerned about Starscream.

Oh I thought these had been found already. I spotted them Monday (3/2) at a walmart in South Dakota. I hid a shark guy, I'll probably get him next time I go if he is there still. I knew I should have sent pictures and logged it on the site! Maybe next time.

I want that Starscream but I’ll do what I did with Bee and gunna hold off in the hopes they do an actual Deluxe that’ll do him justice. I made that mistake with Optimus and it still annoys me.

If they do make a Deluxe Starscream, it'll probably be in his normal body rather than that upgraded one.

At this point, I don’t give a bleep, just give me a good, well articulated, properly painted, accurate Deluxe-ish Starscream based on his appearance in Cyberverse. And then pump Seekers out of it while they’re at it. :lol:

Here's hoping they can churn them all out by the end of this year, since this is Cyberverse's final year for the show.

Anyone else here that doesn't like Starscream's design in the show but liked the other Seeker's designs?

His body just felt too...angular? It just didn't convince me that he was a "transformer" so to speak, not quite sure how to explain it.

Love the character himself in the show and like his head design.

Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 has some new reviews for us. Below you will see a video review of the new Cyberverse Wrarrior Starscream and Hammerbyte.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Hasbro must have heard the cries from the masses since these new mold Warrior Class figures feature articulation that's comparable with Deluxe Class figures. Both Starscream and Hammerbyte feature an action gimmick that's the signature of the Warrior Class line but they really don't get in the way of the basic movements of the figures. Unfortunately, the gimmicks are still a little fiddly, not as bad as before, but enough to make you pause for a moment of reflection. Ultimately these are good, not great figures.

The only Seekers I really liked in the show, design wise, were Slipstream and Thundercracker. I wasn't really a fan of how the rest turned out.

And this seems to be the only seeker toy that really came out good, expect maybe Slipstream, but i never saw her in person to judge properly

I suppose the colors were hit or miss, by design I meant the body shape that the rest of the Seekers used and not necessarily the colors.

I was just glad to have gotten so many Seekers in the show since it's been a long time with their last major appearance being in Animated (I know Dreadwing in Prime is said to be a Seeker and presumably Skyquake was as well but they were new characters which was fine but you know)

Glad to have gotten some first screen appearances from characters like Acid Storm and Nova Storm, Cyberverse was great with the amount of cast they had.

Personally, I loved the Black, Green and Blue seeker that we had previously dubbed Changeling/Changewing

So I have to say this: I think I have found the best one-step Transformer ever made. Repugnus is so good! He is adorable in beast mode, the transformation is actually pretty fun for a single step, and robot mode is actually somewhat posable! The paint work is top notch too!

Until I get Whirl (I've seen he is really good too), he is the definitive 1-step for me, he's just that good. You should pick one up, he is ridiculously fun!

Repugnus also has so much redeco potential. The show introduces so many other Monsterbots and Energon Masters, all of whom share his body-type.

I would gladly take more and army build, he is a really good mold.

I'm actually very happy with my current Cyberverse collection, and with what it will eventually look like. I kinda regret passing on the Scout Shadowstriker and Ultra Slipstream, I did like both of them in the show, but never really could commit to them, and still might try to get them eventually. Season 3 was just so good, and it feels good to have or be getting some of the characters from that parts of the show.

I get the feeling that Hasbro made the toys first and that Boulder Media simply worked them into the third season by crafting stories around them a la the old days of the pre-2007 era. ;)

The Decepticon half of the Cyberverse Resistance

Makes me sad that we are not getting a Cyberverse Perceptor. and it makes me eager to see Iaconus and Skullcruncher. And to get Maccadam, Rack n' Ruin, Whirl, Hammerbyte, Wild Wheel, Meteorfire, and the deluxes.

Finally got around to getting the first four Maccas bots off lay-buy this arvy.

Now I've seen plenty of people having a good ol whinge fest about them, but I don't see why. I found them to be bloody good figures. Megatron is a little on the loose side, and Optimus' plastic is transparent at some points, but other than that, they're solid figures.

I like that there seems to be more pieces to lock in together making the alt modes solid. They also seem to have a good range of poseability.

Good figures, bring on the rest so I can finish off ol Macca.
