Could be, Target.com has him listed now, too.

almost definitely...

I've seen Slugs, Arcees, Starscreams and BBs in that new open face packaging at numerous Targets already

I've seen Deluxe Soundwave, Cheetor and Thunderhowl in this open box packaging.

Greetings Seibertronians!

Have you seen Transformers Cyberverse Warrior Class Dead End on the shelves but don't know if he's the con for you? Well maybe fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, Chuckdawg1999, can persuade you!

He's dropped by to let us know his thoughts about this toy, and if you should add it to your collection:

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Dead End is a fine Warrior Class figure, not my favorite but close. Transformation is simple but satisfying, I enjoy seeing a small robot change into a smaller car. The action gimmick is actually not that intrusive and with a little care, Dead End can get into some nice poses. A perfect toy for the holiday season.

Will Chuck's words persuade you? Have you already claimed Dead End? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Thank you Chuck, for caring enough about Cybervese to post reviews.

Seriously.

Dead End have been out for a long time yet nobody cared to make a review.
Even when the things fall off the back of the truck, PvP nor TonTon bother to pick them up.

It's really my thing. I review the toys nobody really cares about, but I do.

Cyberverse stuff shows up so sporadically in my neck of the woods that I haven't seen Dead End yet.

I adore my warrior Dead End. I am waiting for something specific though to do a nice photo dump with him. I just hope what I wish is possible is actually possible with the something specific.

Dead End does look sharp and is decently posable. I love how small the car mode can be made given his robot mode, almost a sort of mass shifting. And his gun is a nice addition too

So, I ended up getting TFCC Astrotrain, and he has become part of my ongoing quest to build a nice Cyberverse shelf using repurposed toys. And while I thought TR worked out pretty well, I think the bulk of this guy really helps make him a better fit even if the TR one has the more proper colors. This hulking bruiser works great with Dead End, his natural partner. Sadly, his shuttle bay is just a hair too small for Dead End to ride inside him, but I think they will make a great pair.

Still thrilled Dead End got a warrior.

We were SO CLOSE to greatness



Dead End also accompanied Christmas Prime this weekend

Saw Dead End today at Walmart. Almost picked him up, but then noticed his face is unpainted and passed. May pick him up another day, but that was a little disappointing.

Funny enough, his head is ENTIRELY paint. I know, I've scuffed the paint in 2 places messing around with him. He may lack window paint, but that's because his head, arms, and windshield got the paint budget

So, are we done with Cyberverse as a toy line? I really hoped we would've been surprised by a combiner force style Dinobot combiner. If it is done I think it went out well.

Looks like that is the end, which is a shame, I would love a wave with the Mercs and Tarn, especially since 3 deluxes and 2 ultras could give us the whole merc ground team.

Also would have liked a Perceptor in some form, preferably after he was blinded

These 2 are great together

I think this might be the 2nd best Snarl in my collection. He looks neat, and I find him to be pretty fun

I love my fruity AoE dinos but they are all sleeping in storage for some years now.

I should take them out and give them sole love again.

I like green AOE Snarl as well because my G2 Snarl was the green one.

Finally got my hands on my very first Quintesson toy with that Cyberverse set. Not extraordinary, but it does the job. I really love that both Prowl and Shockwave have mind control helmets, and the packaging have a background.



Too bad the helmets can't store anywhere except by dangling on the Quintesson's tentacles.



BTW, those helmets have different reds. One is darker. Hard to see on camera.



Shockwave and Prowl are the Armor molds. Those are pretty nice. Shockwave is a wee bit darker than the regular release, but it's my firs time with Prowl.



Shockwave is still good, but Prowl is the clear winner here. I think it may be my favorite Prowl toy to date!



Overall, for 20$CAN, that set is worth getting.

Those mind control helmets remind me of head crabs from Half Life

It's funny that that set came with the two guys who died immediately before the Quintessons showed up, meaning those two were no longer around by the time everyone was wearing those helmets.

They were on sale at Toysrus

I never, ever saw that set at my local TrU. Beside, the clearance price was 23.48$can based on website archives. So 20$can at Marshall's is the best deal yet in Canada.

Sorry, I made a mistake, I meant to write:

But you gave me the answer anyway

This is a really odd reveal, for many reasons. Firstly, it's a reveal for the Cyberverse line, a line which seemed done. Especially with a new kids show already revealed that will have its own toyline. Also, we don't usually get reveals for this line, since it's not made for fans (and there's no preorder for these). And lastly, the big one, this doesn't look at all like Cyberverse Optimus Prime. Optimus in Cyberverse has the evergreen design which we have seen for years now and which we will keep seeing, like in the upcoming Earthspark cartoon. This Optimus Prime, in robot mode, looks exactly like the recent live action Optimus Prime from the Bumblebee movie (and supposedly the Rise of the Beasts Movie too). Look at the arms, the chest, it's that BB Movie Prime. So, it begs the question, is this actually our first look at a toy from the Rise of the Beasts line, but in Cyberverse packaging. Is this the tactic Hasbro will use to release these already produced toys which are supposed to be out soon? Or will the ROTB toys still come out this year in ROTB packaging and this is just an extra toy for another line. No answers, only questions for now. That alt mode is also odd, since it resembles the one Optimus had in Beast Hunters, while also looking a bit like Legacy Bulkhead's, which supposedly will also be made into an Optimus Prime toy.

We do have some more details about this specific toy. It is 9-inches, so a pretty good size, and it transforms from truck to bot by smashing it on the floor, a tactic used in Age of Extinction toys as well. It will retail for $31.49 when it hits retailers in October.

Let us know what you think. You can click here to see the original article from comicbook.com.

Why does that look like a better Bulkhead truck than Legacy?

Flashwave wrote:Why does that look like a better Bulkhead truck than Legacy?

Reminds me more of his Animated vehicle than his legacy alt mode does.

Flashwave wrote:Why does that look like a better Bulkhead truck than Legacy?

I think THIS is the Optimus based on Bulkhead that we will see in Legacy.

Funny how they chose to end the toyline with a reference to another part of the franchise. Though it does look pretty good.

Very very strange.

Robot mode has definite Bumblebee movie Prime parts, arms, chest, legs, very much pointing to BB Prime.

Alt mode however point to the Legacy Prime repaint of Bulkhead which is even stranger.

Is this supposed to be a mashup of different Primes? Or is this what that Bullhead repaint is going to look like?

It's clearly not Earthspark Prime in any way, so is this just a one off? A new line of Cyberverse figures based on the Legacy designs?

This seems super out of left field even for Hasbro.

As much as this gives me hope for a possible combining Volcanicus, I have to agree with Big Willie Styles and this is a teaser for the Rise of Beasts line, except it's coming several months AFTER the line is supposed to hit.

Haha, and yeah that's the confusing bit. We'll see what happens in a month and a half. If toys don't come out then they reoriented themselves in time for the packaging phase.

Cyberverse started with simple RID repacks and is seemingly ending with simple RotB pre-packs. Feels appropriate. Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if the whole RotB line gets released under Cyberverse and then some choice figures get reissued or retooled for next year.

People in the know (supposedly) are talking online in various message boards now that this toy has been shown. I covered that here, though I guess the discussion will continue here.

I bought this figure yesterday at Goodwill for $2.09

Just a reminder that Cheetor is a pretty fun robot

Warrior Snarl is a pretty neat toy. So good that I can forgive his partsforming tail.

The tail even serves a purpose in robot mode, as it's the sheath for his sword.

Of course. If it work as storage for the dino mode, it work as storage in robot mode as well.

Still, it baffle me is that in no way the bot can wield that tail as a club. That's one hell of a design oversight.

It can, just insert the sword in and stick it on the hand.

Still no dual wielding unfortunately.

I just normally set my tail off to the side and let it stand as a action master Snarl-esque robot

So i found the Officer Class Optimus Prime at Ollies tonight, and decided to try him out once I realized how many joints he had and how he looked in hand.

And, he is good. Like, surprisingly good. First of all, he is very solid, this is a toy designed to be played with. He is also surprisingly posable: all the arm and leg joints you could want, he has ankles but no wrists mind you, and both of his heads are on swivels. So he can throw some moves.

He also has a nice design. I like the Cyberverse Prime design, and this one, like the deluxe, does a good job of capturing that look and those proportions. His base head is nice too. But then, that armor is well sculpted, and the super mode head is super awesome, I love Prime with extra faceplate details and a visor. I only wish there was some silver paint on the chest, but that is a minor thing for how good he is.

The chest armor also tabs into place, adding stability for the armor piece. Weapons are cool too, the shield design is neat, and I like a big ole sword.

So yeah, he is fantastic. Well worth the buy. He surprised me in the most pleasant way.

I really think we as a fandom have slept on Cyberverse not only as a show, but also with some of the toys. I for one had no idea this Officer Class Optimus would be this cool and this much fun, but he is. This is a great toy, and I love it. It is very fun and very good.
