And with this reveal, and with an ebay purchase last night and a friend's help yesterday, I am down to my final 4 Cyberverse figures I need to complete my cast/lineup!

Deluxe Thunderhowl
Ultra Thunderhowl
Ultra Skullcruncher
Ultimate Iaconus

I'm really excited!!!

Hard to determine, and too early to tell, but looking at the differences between my one and this new guy, I can say that the Cyberverse Skullcruncher is not an altered Titans Return Skullsmasher figure. This thing looks pretty good to be honest, and I love the crock head that looks like it comes out of the beast mod crock head. I mean, I love doing that with my TR Skullsmasher anyway, so why not make it a feature?

Well, yeah, since Cyberverse Ultras are bigger than Generations Deluxes, roughly Voyager-sized.

Isn't it something they've done before for the cyberverse line? Looking at my TR Gnaw and the Cyberverse one sat side-by-side I can definitely tell that they used the TR version but altered and embiggened it. Or is that just my imagination?

Different molds, one inspired the other.

That is one hell of a gimmick! And yes, the titans return toy definitely seems to be the inspiration

I just like how with all the similarities to the Titan's Return figure, this one has the obvious improvement of actually having heels and a solid platform that make the feet

Got my Shadow Striker in today, she's actually not too bad for what she is. I like her. I wish she had a better figure, but this still isn't bad

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user and YouTube toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, stopped by to let us know that he's done a new video review of Transformers Cyberverse One Step Ratchet!

Heres what Chuckdawg1999 has to say about Ratchet:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:It's a new One-Step figure and you know the drill. These are simplified figures that are meant more as fiddle toys than full "Bells and whistles" Transformers. In the Cyberverse line these One-Steps have the bonus of a little action feature. In Ratchet's case two blades can spring-loaded, flip out of Ratchets arms. For most of you, you've made your decision on One-Step figures already but for the rest, give Ratchet a chance.


We've embedded the review below for your convenience:

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user and YouTube toy reviewer, Ham-Man, has dropped us a line to tell us that they have just done a video review of the recently released Transformers Cyberverse Battle Call Optimus Prime!

Check out his thoughts on the figure and check out the embedded video review below:

Ham-Man wrote:So much play value here, I lost a lot of time on this one. Gimmick aside he is still a great Prime figure, it's rare especially in this kind of line for the gimmick not to adversely affect the playability and poseability.

This guy just arrived, and he'll be one of 2 Thunderhowl's I ultimately end up getting. He was cool enough as an Ultra to get 2 of, plus they both do some very different things.

He's quite a neat Ultra class! The amount of articulation in his legs and arms is really good, he's Siege level of posing. Still needs a head and waist, but he's seriously quite nice to move around! I love the wolf head sword too. Tail is a bit bothersome in robot mode, it kinda gets in the way, but it's not bad, plus you can use it as a scabbard, even if it and the cape clash a little.

He's really worth it. He, Clobber, and Rack n' Ruin have proven to be great ultra class figures. I'm glad those 3 got more effort put into them!

I really hope they use him again in another continuity

There are multiple characters from recent shows that I hope get absorbed into the wider TF world, and he is certainly one. He was a pretty gun guy to have in Cyberverse, and I would not mind him, Clobber, Meteorfire, Hammerbyte, and Wild Wheel showing up more.

Exactly, all of them deserve to shine, not just in Cyberverse. I mean imagine an Storyline involving the true knights of Cybertron like Thunderhowl and BW Silverbolt, as an interdimensional police force :-?

Are his robot mode eyes supposed to be unpainted silver?

I really really love that Cyberverse arcee. Everything about her is excellent. It's just a very well made toy all around and it is the best Cyberverse figure we have so far. All just my opinion of course. I do like all the deluxes, except for Hot Rod and truly wish this is what the Cyberverse line was all about. Using the same complexity and detail of the deluxe class and giving us that at a multiple different classes suiting the characters. I kid you not but if that is what the Cyberverse line would have been, then I am pretty sure it would be the standout line from hasbro (like Transformers Prime was), beating out Studio Series and Earthrise.

After picking up the Meteorfire and Whildwheel toys, I think it just hit me that the "Autobots Unite!" and "Decepticons Attack!" glowing power-ups in the show were meant to be an advertisement of the Battle Call gimmick, since the whole gimmick is "Yelling equals glowing."

I know, but they also aren't the only ones in the Battle Call assortment.
