First Image of Transformers Cyberverse Spark Armor Ratchet In Argos Catalogue

Is that a friggin skidoo?! Someone repaint this guy into Snowcat or Icepick ASAP! We need more snow-bots!

That van mode is really nice!

Or Transmetal Rhinox! His alt mode was sort of the first snowmobile, right? It may have been called a tank, but there were skis in the front.

I find rather fitting, honestly, because it seems like something of an homage to this:

I need to get some of these Spark Armour figures, look to be the best of the Cyberverse line

We have some cool new official images for you for upcoming Transformers Cyberverse toys. Some were seen sporadically at shows but never given much attention and we never got images like these before. For now, these images can only be seen on Seibertron.com. Below you will see warriors (deluxe sized) Drift, Jetfire and a new Bumblebee. Speaking of new Bumblebees, there will be a second scout (half transformed) Bumblebee coming with different weapons. You will also see One Step Jazz and ultra (voyager sized) Prowl. While we caught a glimpse of Spark Armour Ratchet just recently, we have a great view of the toy now. He looks as good as one could imagine from this line. We also have images of Spark Armour Shockwave. If you want an idea of how big the spark armour figures are, you can check this review of the latest Skybyte toy.

These look pretty good, especially Shockwave, a satellite is a perfect armour option. Drift looks nifty as well

soooo Hasbro finally figured out that the secret to selling these cyberverse warrior toys is elbows and knees?

Drift and Jetfire are clear winners, as does Ratchet. Shockwave’s a surprise and I almost want to get him to replace the Warrior one I already have, which is impressive as I think it’s a pretty good figure on its own.

i wonder if they'll make deadlock from that drift(it a easy thing to do and it seem like they already plan to make a deadlock toy

Actually it looks like Drift only has one elbow...

A deadlock toy is due to come out before this drift:

i mean with actual elbow and such, i knew that was coming out, but now i want to know if they'll make a repaint of this one

You mean one elbow, Drift's right arm is only articulated at the shoulder.

Not bad. Shockwave's satellite is a nice Energon reference.

so it seems, thank you for pointing that out

Like Starscream's legs being one piece, all for the sake of the gimmick.

Hmmmmm...

Jazz's design reminds me of another design... something to do with pots and pies...

Anyway, his Autobot symbol is the Bayformers version, compared to the G1 versions of the rest.

One more Jetfire to get!

And that Ratchet is perfect. Proving that the best part of Cyberverse is the Armor guys.

That's weird, like Nathaniel Prime said that Jazz is pretty close to the PotP figure, but it also looks like his arms are based off the Classics toy. Kind of a bizarrely specific homage.

These look fun!

Woah, nice catch!

I didn't see that until you pointed it out.

(This makes me realize that I still need to find a Henkai Jazz for relatively cheap)

For some reason, Shockwaves' new head gear reminds me of other mechs.

So, who do you guys think wore it better?

Ratchet with a snowmobile makes me really happy for some reason

Jazz is a retool of the one step Prowl. All of these look fantastic.

They're not, different mechanisms. In fact, the One-Step range hardly has retools to begin with, just figures using the same style over and over.

:EDIT: and this is where re-releasing characters in the same Size Class gets confusing: It's the first One-Step, not the one shown in these images. Still not a retool: different parts, but same style.

The robots look completely different, would you rather I said reshell?

Hang on, let's start over...

As said before, releasing characters multiple times in a single Size Class gets confusing. Jazz is indeed based on the first One-Step Prowl:







And from the looks of it some parts like the blasters, feet, wheels and internal mechanisms are reused. Indeed a retool or reshell. I stand corrected.

the ones in this article look great

jetfire looks tempting. if he has neck articulation, i will bite. in the last pic, he looks like he turn his head around slightly, which indicates that, but it could also my eyes playing tricks on me, so i'm gonna wait for in-hand pics first.

Sit, be comfortable, have a cool drink.

A satellite!?!?!?! That is legit the coolest thing here, IMO. And with Shockwave too?!?!?! Now, all they have to do is paint it and/or him with more grey and green (or just go all out with green) and Hasbro is sure to piss off the fans.

Argos new catalogue

Wait is that Grimlock with a bin truck?

It appears so. Maybe he's been reduced to being King of the Scrapheap

Garbage trucks have big chomping jaws. That's Grimlock's kind of truck, right there.

Ratchet and Shockwave actually look surprisingly OK. Shockwave's satellite weapon is very cool and Ratchet's ambulance mode looks legit good.

Argos trying to get £7 more for Ark Optimus than the £40 at Smyths, yikes. At least Argos does clearences every now and then, so it should be easier to pick up some of the spark armor range discounted.

Grimlock/animated wreckgar combination dares to be stupid on a cool level, dread to thing how much the combination lowers the intelligence by.

i finally home. Dunno if anyone noticed that Argos page post of mine was a lil brief for me. I had written about having just been in Argos and seen their new catalogue and being disappointed it was just the younger audience stuff, no Siege or Studio but I thought I'd take a pic and post it here even though I wasn't sure someone hadn't already done so. But when I tried posting before I got the 503 kremzeek thingy error (which I seem to get a lot when trying to post on this site with my phone). So I had to go back a page and lost my post so tried again with a very short few words & the pic. So yeah. I don't really come in Cyberverse section much but thought the Argos page might have been useful or interesting to you guys.

Ok now THIS kind of babbling post is much more me. Ok, have a good day and I'mma crawl back to the Studio thread where I feel most comfortable.

Deadlock left the decepticons so he could get elbows.

He only got one.

More than a filthy ‘Con like him deserves.

Once a Con

Always a Con

Hey! That's Deceptiscrimination!

Oh look at me I’m Drift now with a pretty little new paint job look how I managed to wash off all the mass murders over a long weekend retreat...Bah!! Bah I say!! only one elbow for you!

With a new Chapter of the Cyberverse cartoon not set to air until later this year, it seems like it's been a while since we've seen much Cyberverse product, with Studio Series (mostly helicopter Dropkick), Siege, and G1 reissues taking up most of the real estate on toy shelves. Well, Fall will be here sooner than we think (is it really August already??), and as if to punctuate that fact, yours truly found Warrior Class Slipstream at a local Target.



Slipstream was just announced a few weeks ago, and now, she's already showing up at retail! She's a simple recolor of the Warrior Class Starscream mold, with her only other distinction being that she has lipstick. Seriously. She's a Target exclusive, though unlike Siege Red Wing, she doesn't require a Target Redcard to buy her. She's priced at $14.99, and though that price is lower than all other lines for this roughly deluxe sized mold, you do get what you pay for. Being that the whole Cyberverse line is more focused on a kid-friendly play pattern, with simpler transformations and action gimmicks, she's not a bad figure, and certainly has a striking color combo.




So what do you think, Seibertronians? Do you have any plans to pick her up on your next toy hunt? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron for all your Transformers news!

That deplorable dastardly deviant has arrived! For some Decepticons there's a point after so much destruction and ruination that there is no redemption, no turning back...unless you're this guy! Before he was the peaceful sacred sword swinging fengshui expert known as Drift he was the evil Decepticon known as Deadlock, and here he is represented in the rather kid-friendly Cyberverse line with all-my-enemies-shall-fall-before-me strike, er, I mean sneak strike blade swinging attack!

These images come courtesy of Amazon here where he's currently listed at $14.99.

Enjoy the views and as always share your thoughts with the Seibertron crew in the forums. And stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!
