We had video reviews for the new Transformers Cyberverse Battle Call figures Wildwheel and Meteorfire and now Chuckdawg has a review for the last figure of this class (that we know of), Bumblebee! He can currently be found at US retail.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Battle Call Trooper Bumblebee is an ok Ultra Class sized figure. There's really nothing new here as we've seen Bumblebee in every size class this line has to offer. The Battle Call gimmick is fun, but I feel it's lacking without an Officer Class figure to interact with it. While it might not be for everyone, I strongly recommend not paying the $45+ these figures are going for on eBay.

Not too bad for a Bee, with a very unique gimmick.
BUT WHY THE HOLLOW LEGS WITH NO FEET?
Seriously, this ruin the figure completely. And as seen in the video, that Bee can barely stand up.

Lot of things are being sacrificed in this series. Looks like budget shortage or emphasis on gimmicks
wildwheel: no storage for hat.
warrior optimus: axe is too noticeable and those legs are chunky in truck mode
electronic bunblebee: are we seeing a return of the supreme cheetor mess, unnecessary light and barely stands?
As for electronics and foldup armor, ill pass, But i would love to own Arcee, she looks decent.

It is a good idea
Still i haven't found any good actual warrior/deluxe figures. Iceland is unlucky
No sign of new stuff til 2021 probably.
The newest we have are from cyberverse adventures are 1-Step Whirl and 1-Step Bludgeon (worst weapon gimmick ever, flapping wrist) and recolored sting shot Bumblebee's.
I have few elite class that i like (still they look like they are deluxe sized) i liked, the Grimlock (Crash Bash Armor)and Bumblebee (Ocean Fury) but i don't use the armors. CV Grimlock may be small is a decent G1 representative just needs a sword. PotP Voyager Grimlock is too chunky in t-rex mode for me.

My Pink Princess of Selfies has arrived. She is a pretty wonderful litle deluxe. i love the feel of the plastic, she and Bee feel the best in this aesthetic. The kibble kinda hinders the arms some, but she's pretty fun. And I am only a head away from completing Maccadam, who feels so much better with almost his whole self put together, much more solid to me.

Still love that they made Skywarp a lady. And that she is basically one of 2 named seekers to survive the show. Although I wish she would have talked or gotten to use her teleporting powers.
It's also cool since it sidestepped the normal trio, allowing Nova Storm to take that part for this run. Still wish we could get a toy of Alphastrike since they were partners.
This seeker set is pretty fun. I want to take some more pictures of the translucent plastics. Really wish Thrust and Thundercracker were the same levels of translucent, but it happens, and Skywarp and Screamer have good reasons to be translucent (teleporting and ghost).
Not many Cyberverse toys left in the line, and I want to go back and hunt down a couple older ones to make sure I get the characters. It was a great show, so I will enjoy the toys that I have got!

A thought just crossed my mind.
What if this Seeker set has everyone glowing because it represents the moment in Season 2 where Starscream is glowing with AllSpark energy while he takes the sparks of all the other Seekers, causing them to momentarily glow too as they all die?
'Twould also explain why Skywarp's figure looks more like Nova Storm.

Would not be surprised, even if the figures are using the Starscream season 3 "concept" figure (I use the term since it's a Cybertronian alt mode). It would only be missing Acid Storm then of the named seekers that were de-sparked.
Could also be the ghosts of said seekers Bumblebee encounters while with Meteorfire.
Speaking of which, should have him here soon. Hoping to find him in stores today but if not got him and Wild Wheel all but locked in online.
After those 2, the only Cyberverse figures left to get are Iaconus, Thunderhowl (potentially both), and the Repugnus set for me. Unless they actually do that Ultra Skullcruncher too that we had listings for.
Also trying to track down scout Shadow Striker, Ultra Slipstream, Warrior Windblade, and Spark Armor or warrior Jetfire. Kinda want to get a nice complete cast.
Also also, Cyberverse is proving to be great for repurposing dups of other figures. My TR Astrotrain is going to that shelf, as is a CW Dead End, RiD2015 Bludgeon and Twinferno, and either RTS or TR Perceptor, haven't decided there yet. Almost tempted to move my T30 Jetfire and TR Windblade there too for those 2, but I like how different the Cyberverse Windblade is and she had a decent toy out too, same with Jetfire, and both have decent Cyberverse figures whereas the aforementioned repurposings did not get a toy outside of Dead End.
I still wish we could get blind Cyberverse Perceptor as a toy. that might be my biggest regret that the line didn't give us.
Oh and Titan Iaconus and Croaton someday please

I'm just adoring the fact that we got baby Repugnus figures.
Also, you know what's funny/weird? Remember when those PotP T-shirts came out with the 3 Amazon exclusives on them? I got the Repugnus shirt because I thought it was really cool looking, and I've wore it fairly often since. And now, my collection has 8 Repugnus figures in it now, when at the time I got the shirt it only had 1 or 2, can't remember if I got the Amazon Repugnus before the shirt or not.
the Repugni have exploded!

So let's start with some Meteorfire. I like this guy. He is limited in articulation as most Cyberverse figures are, coming in around the same movement levels as the Ultra Class Rack n' Ruin and Clobber. But minus the head, that's OK with me. I wasn't expecting him to move a ton. I enjoy the robot mode aesthetic, and I dig the colors, they are very nice, even if not entirely show accurate (I really want a yellow head crest on him). The robot mode is also pretty clean, no real kibble, and it's pretty tight.
Transformation is actually interesting, and involves some pretty nice movements in the lower torso and shoulders to get him to jet mode.
The jet mode is OK, i knew what I was getting. It sort of looks like a chipmunk with his cheeks filled. But I did it in person, it's pretty fun.
And the gimmick is sort of cool too. If you talk loudly or blow on the figure, the light glows brighter and then erupts into a blue and red flashing light for a few seconds. i like it as his spark glowing.
so have some pics of him in jet, robot, and armored modes, and a pic of him with his Alien hunting partner!

So Wild Wheel then.
He is not as good as Meteorfire, I will say that. Alt mode is not as nice, and the robot mode needed some more muscle on the bones, like maybe add his poncho please? But he's not bad, a little more posable than Meteorfire thanks to ball jointed elbows, and the cowboy hat is awesome. He can also holster his blasters in his hips, which is another awesome cowboy touch. Transformation is pretty basic and alt mode isn't anything to write home about.
But I am glad I got him, he's pretty enjoyable as the Cowboy Transformer we always needed

I don't disagree. But it's probably something Hasbro people would say if asked about it.

Thanks to the TF Addict, we have a nice review of the Transformers Cyberverse Sinister Seeker Strikeforce 4 Pack. It contains Starscream, Thrust, Skywarp and Thundercracker all in their cybertronian forms (so they have knees, yay!) This pack can currently be found at Target, exclusively, and is priced just shy of $50. This review gives us a good look at the different decos, which include a lot of translucent plastic. Fellow Seibertronian D-Max also provided some really striking images of Skywarp, which we also show below. Tags for this set have been found at Toysrus in Canada though the set has yet to be found. You will let us know what you think!

It's not a bad set but not a great one either. It's fun though. I enjoy it cause I love the Cyberverse Cybertronian Starscream mode. So more Seekers are always welcome.

spent some time last night working on the Cyberverse shelf, and somehow, I now have too many figures for one shelf. what?! And I'm only planning on having a few more, so how is this gonna work?! Thinking I might split a shelf with Cyberverse and either my Animated cons or my Prime Predacons. Or maybe have all 3 together, since the cons and Preds are on their own shelf on the tall circular one.

Not sure how the availability has been in other places for the new Cyberverse Arcee but i was finally able to locate it in my AO at a local Walmart. Have to say, she is my favorite. I don’t dip into this particular series much but very glad I picked her up.

Ding ding, got them all.
Needed an Astrotrain, and the Cyberverse one takes some inspiration from the TR one, and with the Siege one now i felt I could move one over to Cyberverse.
I needed a Perceptor since we didn't get one in Cyberverse, and I got this one from a friend. It was either him or TR Perceptor, and ultimately the TR one is best on my Lost Light shelf.
Dead end needed a good posable toy and had that option almost down to his Cyberverse details, so I got an extra to join the crew.
Bludgeon is obvious, plus he did not show up in RiD2015, so it was easy to move him over.
Twinferno went over as himself, with the Repugnus showing up in Cyberverse and no Twinferno in RiD2015, I felt it would work to place 2 cartoon monsterbots together. Now we just need the next cartoon to make a Grotusque figure to complete the cartoon trio.

Bludgeon is obvious, plus he did not show up in RiD2015, so it was easy to move him over.
Twinferno went over as himself, with the Repugnus showing up in Cyberverse and no Twinferno in RiD2015, I felt it would work to place 2 cartoon monsterbots together. Now we just need the next cartoon to make a Grotusque figure to complete the cartoon trio.

My initial guess was that you were repurposing him as "Red Five" based on his color somewhat matching the red Autobot generics and his altmode somewhat matching the Ark's shuttles.D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Twinferno went over as himself, with the Repugnus showing up in Cyberverse and no Twinferno in RiD2015, I felt it would work to place 2 cartoon monsterbots together.

Never thought of that, but it's not a bad idea either!
But I'm gonna keep him as Twinferno, Repugnus' friend. He works better there than the Prime/RiD2015 shelf too.

Managed to score the Ultra Slipstream at retail price!
She really isn't too bad. Glad I got this one since it is actually her proper body style, and the toy itself is pretty decent. Transformation is fun, i love the torso swiveling around under the wings, it is great. And her jet mode is pretty slim, it works! Robot mode could really use knees and a ball jointed head, but it's still not bad.
She also works pretty well with Siege seekers size wise
And soon I'll have her buddy too. Cyberverse is only missing maybe 6 toys now for my shelf? we're closing in!
The only 2 that have already come out that I need to secure are the Scout Shadow Striker and Wheeljack. Anyone got one they can send me? I am looking!

Greetings Seibertronians! Fans of the Transformers Cyberverse cartoon, this news may be of interest to you. Fellow Seibertron user, Ham-Man has uploaded a new toy review to his YouTube channel, his subject? Ultimate Class Iaconus! While not the Titan Class toy he deserves, its good to see that the character has some representation in plastic. Check out the embedded review below for Ham-Man's opinion of this new addition to Transformers lore.
Will you be getting this City former to add to yiur Cyberverse collections? Are you one of the fans who would be more than happy to see Iaconus join the Generations like as a Titan Class one day? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Greetings Seibertronians! We have more Cyberverse video reviews to share now, both for the recently released Repungus Revenge set! This set featured four figures, a redeco'ed 1 step changer of Repungus (now in a green liverly sporting Decepticon markings) and three different coloured mini Repungus figures that also transformed. This set is similar to the already released Sharkticon Attack set with the break down of figures, and both near the Transformers Cyberverse Villains subtitle.
The first video review comes from fellow Seibertron user, Lore Keeper:
The second video review comes from YouTube toy reviewer, TFA 1024 - The TF Addict:
Have you picked this set up? What are your thoughts? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Robot mode looks cool.The shoulders reallly gives the vibe he is made out of a city.Alt mode is simple,but the Transformation gimminck is cool.
Makes me wish that Tidal Wave appeared on Cyberverse.
Day 224 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

Got my Warrior Windblade and Spark Armor Jetfire today, have some thoughts on both.
Windblade is pretty nifty. My only complaint with her is her lack of head movement. But she's a pretty design, and pretty well colored and painted. Gimmick is pretty fun too. I also appreciate the amount of articulation on her, considering she was an old warrior too. I like her, she looks great with Bee.
Jetfire is also really fun. It was a competition between the spark armor and warrior one, and the spark armor looked cooler, had more play features, and matches Sky Byte in size. I like the white and red used on him, it's very sharp. Transformation is also pretty fun. I like the robot mode a good bit. The only real complaint for me on him is the tank treads, which are hindered by the wings, and they don't really fit nicely anywhere else.
Good additions. Now I'm down to needing a Scout Wheeljack, scout Shadow Striker, Iaconus, and Thunderhowl. And hopefully the rumored ultra Skullcruncher. and I need Thunderhowl to complete Maccadam.

I really like this figure, it's a shame they never went and repainted that mold again. I think it would have looked really nice stealth colors to go with Hot Rod.
Speaking of stealth I just now realized we never got a stealth Bee in this line. After Prime and RID I just assumed he got a Warrior class stealth figure in Cyberverse.

I think they saved that for the one-steps and scout. He got some stealth colors in those 2 sizes

Greetings Seibertronians! We have exciting news for all Cyberverse toy fans as a new toy has been leaned gor ghe Ultra Class line in the series, and it's Skullcruncher! He apparently shares the gimmick of others in the Ultra Class, being that he has flip up Energon armour. Twitter user, ARCTIC_STORM, has shared the images on social media, saying he got them off the Discord channel for TF Wiki, where they had sourced it from is currently unknown. Fellow Seibertron user, Sabrblade has also shared the images in the Energon Pub.
Some fans on Social media have been quick to cknpare this with the version released recently for Titan's Returns. At this junction we have no pictures of alt mode
What do you think of this version of the character? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

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?

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?
