Video Review for Transformers Cyberverse Deluxe Optimus Prime and Shockwave

The first wave of Transformers Cyberverse Ultra Class Energon Armor figures has been found in Canada. imfallenangel over at Cybertron.ca reported seeing Ultra Class Energon Armor Clobber at a Toysrus in Ontario. This fan also took images of the figure. It seem the armor is a pop up gimmick where it is stored in it's back when not in use. This character is a female robot who looks like Lugnut. However, she transforms into a tank type of vehicle here rather than a plane.

While this toy was found in Canada, we still have yet to see any of these toys in other countries, so if you find them, let us know.

I dig these, hopefully they show up domestically soon.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this totally-not-Lugnut is female, right? I can kinda dig the idea of Lugnut having a sister that turns into a tank. I'm not so keen on this figure, but still, cool concept.

Read the article.

Does anyone know if spark armor Grimlock with Trash Crash is worth buying on discount. Only things i've noticed is that his robot mode is compact but his upper t-rex body seems rather thing and noticeable robot feet on his back?

I'm not sure about Trash Crash drone. Unless the is a way to securely lock the arms i might toss it into the garbage bin and find a suitable weapon for Grimlock.

I dont like thst the armour is spring loaded. The base toy is ok but lacks important articulation points. I returned mine.

I really dig the set. Grimlock has a unique transformation, it always impresses me how Hasbro can find a new way to go from Dinosaur to robot. The garbage truck can be fiddly if you don't know how it locks into place.

Cyberverse Quintession with Shockwave and Prowl pack. The Quintession has a rotating head gimmick and Prowl and Shockwave have helmets (possibly to brainwash them)

Just saw the tweet and was going to post it as well. I wonder if this is related to the Quintesson rumors that popped up in the Earthrise thread. I may have to pick this up!

Do you remember, some weeks back, when we reported on a possible Voyager Quintesson figure being released? As it seems to have turned out, the Voyager price point was correct, but the toy itself actually belongs to the Cyberverse line, as demonstrated by Peaugh on Twitter. He found this three pack at Target, and it includes a Quintesson Judge toy, with a rotating head gimmick, as Peaugh demonstrates in his tweet. Figures of Prowl and Shockwave are included, who come with helmets that simulate mind control by the Quintesson.









It doesn't appear to be a Target exclusive, and is showing up at retail right now, despite never being officially confirmed or shown at any show or convention.

So are you going to try and find this pack? Excited to have another Quintesson figure after 14 years? Let us know what you think below, and please report your sightings in your local sightings pages to help your fellow collectors.

Well it’s not the best, buts it’s the first Quintesson figure we’ve finally ever gotten. Not bothering to count the monstrosity that was Alpha Q.

As an aside, Shockwave and Prowl look like the Spark Armor figures.

That's because they are. ;')

No cannon mode mentioned for the Quint as per some of the previous thread mentions so maybe another version to be released on its own yet. Think I'll stick with the third party thing I have rather than buying this set but nice to see them.

Must-Buy-On-Sight

It would seem that this was the mystery Quintesson figure that was posted about a few weeks back... was hoping for an earth rise figure, though that would make little sense. Maybe for a post earth rise imprint.

To be fair, Earthrise is set before the Ark reaches Earth, with the line's story being about the Ark's journey through space.

Yeah, I’m gunna need that Quintesson. Shockwave I can repurpose as one of his little drones, Prowl will be harder to think up a reason to keep. Probably just gift it to a buddy’s kid.

Arctic-Camo Bluestreak?

Leave the helmet on and say it's an Autotrooper.

Yesterday, an unannounced Cyberverse three pack was found on Target shelves, and now, we have once another sighting of another new item! That being the "Sharkticons Attack" four pack, with a redeco of One Step Changer Hot Rod in the Stealth Force colors, and three new Sharkticons. By the tribal markings, two belong to the Snouts, and one belongs to the Tails. Each of these fellas can transform into BotBot sized robot modes, as seen in the pictures below. The set was found in a Target at Victoria, Texas for 20 USD.

These images come from u/Valdor99 over at r/transformers. What are your thoughts on this second unannounced set? Will you buy this set if you spot it? Let us know in the Pub forums below!

At this rate we'll probably get a Quintesson Prosecutor figure

I love those little sharkies, I thought they would be non transforming, so I am glad to see that's not the case.

Two Snouts and one Tail? Now we just need a member of the Fins to complete the three tribes. I wonder if we'll ever get any toys of the three tribe leaders Jawsy, Backbite, and Sawtooth.

These little surfer dudes need their bodacious leaders, man. Lord Gnaw isn't enough by himself.

Baby Gnaw doo doo doo

we might get a titan sized sharkticon yet

Just purchased spark armor Grimlock. as for the robot mode the only thing he lacks is a to pose for the shoulders upwards into a T pose but i guess he needs this limitation otherwise it might negatively affect the hip function in dino mode.

Since Trash Crash sounds like stupid rhyme for the armor i'm calling it Wreck-Gar instead, got the idea from Animated Wreck-Gar's alternate mode. The armor helmet reminds me of Scourge from Robots in Disguise 2001 minus blue eyes.

I also gave him a modified version of a Classics Deluxe green tank Megatron; I removed the stock and cut down a small portion so Grimlock can hold it. He looks great with a little extra firepower.

Not really sure how new this is. Spotted Wave 4 of the Power of the Spark, Scraplet and OP (redeco) at a local Target. Again, not a line i buy but interesting to see Scraplet in person.
Again, this is something new in my area and could have been out in other areas now.

That Clobber looks pretty good, I think I will get her.

And those 2 new packs look pretty neat. I might get the Hot rod one for the black Hot rod car mode and baby sharks, and I kinda really want the quintesson one. I didn't get that Wave or Prowl, so those will be nice to go with the Quint.

Will go looking on New Years day I think

Right as the new year is about to begin, most of the first batch of 2020 offerings for the Cyberverse line can now be found in the US. The Quintesson and Sharkticon multipacks have been found at Target already and now we have reports coming in for the warrior class figures, the ultra class armor figures and the sought after deluxe class figures.

The new warrior figures found include Stealth Force Hot Rod, a repacked Soundwave, Cybertronian Megatron and Cybertronian Bumblebee. They were found at Walmart with the earliest sightings from Virginia. The specific sighting here is from tf fan Daimao.

The new ultra class spark armor figures, like Clobber, have been found at Meijer in New Albany, Indiana, by tf fan primeisboss.

The deluxes, which include Megatron, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Shockwave were found at a Target in Wisconsin by tf fan Jacer. These are the ones that are more articulated and as complex as the Studio Series toys and come with a build a figure component for Maccadam as a bonus.

Sighs, the hunt begins!

Why did they change Lugnut to Clobber? It was lugnut back when that design was introduced in transformers animated right?

And just to add, because why would you want to put out a bunch of new toys right before christmas when everyone is looking for gifts, when you can wait until after the chirstmas season.

Clobber isn't Lugnut, she's not even meant to be him. She's just a female version of him (like Slipstream existing seperately to Starscream)

Take this with a grain of salt.

In addition, the backside of her toy packaging uses the masculine inflection of "Bruiser" for her function in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

As far as that "some reason" goes, Hasbro probably didn't want a female Transformer to have the name of an anatomic euphemism that refers to a certain male component.

Bruisers can't be female? I thought Ronda Rousey was a bruiser.

Who was saying that?

No one, the packaging is just using the masculine spelling of bruiser in languages that use gender specific spellings. For example in Spanish - matón(masculine) vs matona(feminine). I'm making assumptions because I haven't seen the packaging myself. I couldn't find different spellings of bruiser (cogneur) in French. If only there was someone on the boards that spoke French, maybe they could help us...

I'm sure, Americans tend to get uptight about wieners and such.

I now want Lugnut and Clobber to meet up and cause lots of problems together

"Mom! Big brother is punching craters in his room again!"

Picked up a set of the Cyberverse Deluxes, all the Targets in El Paso, Texas has at least one of each. Somehow Bumblebee is my favorite of the four, which i thought would be impossible, but all four are definite improvements over the Warrior class figures. I’m looking forward to the next wave and completing Maccadam, and hoping they do more (with a good Starscream please, I’m begging y’all)!

I frikkin love this Bumblebee

At a local Walmart I picked up Cyberverse Adventure Bumblebee and Hotrod. Funny enough I have not touched this toylike until now. Something I liked about Hotrod, Bumblebee is ok, definitely better in robot mode. HIs vehicle mode is definitely unique.
With Hotrod, wish his wheels where the same color as on the package. Would look much better!
SGM

That is an interesting Cybertronian mode for Bee

It definitely is. It is kind of cool but different for sure!

Can you take more p8cs at various angles for both modes? We havent seen much of them so it could make for a news story.

Sure thing, here is Hotrod from a few angles!

Hope this helps!
