A McDonald’s display in Taiwan revealed a new set of Transformers Cyberverse toys of Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Prowl, Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave that are inspired by the Spark Armor gimmick. Each figure, like in the main line, comes with a little vehicle that can separate into parts that can be attached to the figure as weapons or armor. These toys do not transform, but the last fast food toys that actually did were way back in 2008, so there's no surprise here.
It is still unknown whether these toys will be offered in the US, but these figures have also been spotted in Peru, Japan, and India too.
Keep your scanners peeled for any more sightings, and always post your findings in the Sightings thread. As always, stay tuned with Seibertron.com for more updates.

So is this one any good? Well, you'll be the judge. Below are images of the toy at multiple angles. It comes with a Snowmobile which becomes armour.
For a quick review, the toy is mostly fine for the size (a tad bit bigger than scout) and while it has painted windows all across the alt mode, on all sides, there is some obvious deco missing from the robot mode. The EKG designs on the shoulders, for one. While those are painted on the renders, you'll see that the toy's final deco is very different to what we first saw. The other issue is the lack of a head rotation and bicep/thigh swivel. Though previous generations toys of this size class were also missing some of those articulation points, these are always fun to have. Skybyte is still the best in that regard due to his use of ball joints (a nice beast era homage it would seem).
Amazing car mode though, and a really nice and meaty Optimus Prime like transformation that I hope gets revisited in later Ratchet toys.
Below are images I took and a few video reviews (along with a review of his case mate Shockwave). Enjoy!

Man the lines geared at younger audiences have really evolved. I mean the fact that the armor even works in some capacities with the Siege line, brilliant. What a 'why not' kind of touch. If they put just a head rotation in there, maybe just a little more articulation I'd be more into these. Like 100% sold.
But I think more than any review or set of images what's stuck with me is when you compared them to the Legends scale from previous lines. When I looked at it that way I felt like I went well duh, and kind of let down my guard against the toys for younger fans stigma.
Thanks for the review!

The best part is the transformation. I am just really impressed by how neat everything ends up being in ambulance mode.

I'm looking forward to it. I love Sky Byte, Cheetor, and Grimlock, and I have high hopes for him and the Scraplets

These toys are advertised as being for kids 6 years and up. The Transformers Animated line was advertised as 5 years and up; at least the deluxes. There's a huge difference in quality between these Cyberverse toys and Animated. Our standards have fallen if we think these designs even remotely pass muster for a kids' line. Like Animated, they should strive to really entice adult collectors.

I loved animated, and while these are different, the spark armor figures are still really fun

Heres some of the promotional photos for you to gaze at while you decide if you need this version of everyone's favourite Dinobot in your life.
Will you be hunting down this Grimlock? Do you think we need more Garbage Trucks in Transformers besides Animated Wreck-Gar? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Curiously, the 35th Anniversary logo that was present on the stock photos is missing from the actual retail release.
Are you UK fans interested in getting this 2 pack? Or will you (likely) be skipping this release? Tell us in the discussion below, and as always, stay tuned for more Seibertron news!

This is so ridiculous looking I'm lost for any kind of words to actually make a complete, grammatically correct sentence to describe it.

The Spark Armor figures are really really good. While Ratchet could use a neck and upper arm swivel, he is still really good. Transformation is really unique, and the snowmobile is just so cool.
Great set, None of the Spark Armor figures i got disappointed

I would love to see how the Spark armor looks on Siege Ratchet.

It won't fit, completely different sizes and design styles.

It was mostly the 5 MM pieces or whatever you call them that I was thinking about.

Still better than not having a figure.
Also, can Bumblebee's stinger weapon be removed from his right hand? Or will it be like every other Bumblebee figure from Cyberverse? (Save armor up)

He's paying 160$ for 8 deluxes and an extra non transforming figure.

Getting multiple Shockwaves from this line is an okay thing since he has a bunch of drones based on his altmode in the show.Mindmaster wrote:Really, really glad I held off on Spark Armor Optimus and Bumblebee now. Though I just bought Spark Armor Shockwave last night... Hoping this means a better Starscream, they can’t seem to do him justice this line for whatever reason.

I mean, fair point but I’m trying to dial back the army building. Since coming back from deployment in Korea, my barracks room has barely enough space for 90% of my collection, and I’m running out of room and money.

Wonder if they'll do a deluxe/warrior Cheetor at some point. Might save me the money of buying Spark Armor Cheets.

I have enjoyed season 2 immensely, and every time I watched it there was that little bit of disappointment because of how much I did not like the current crop of figures. I've looked at them, I've wanted to buy them but ... meh.
This though, they're doing their best to appeal to the younger market and older fans, plus an actual Maccadam? Hell yeah!
Posted by D-Maximal_Primal on October 3rd, 2019 @ 6:01pm CDT
4 Good looking figures, and we get a Maccadam!! And they all looks great and posable!
And finally, Bee gets a toy where it's good and there is no fake kibble. Finally that great design gets a proper toy

Yeah, as cool as Maccadam looks, there’s no way I’m spending $140 on figures I don’t want just to get him.chuckdawg1999 wrote:I think build a figures should stay in the marvel line.

The new Transformers reveals take the Cyberverse toyline in a step towards the mainline quality of figures. The new figures feature more complex transformations and more advanced articulation. They also all include parts for a Transformers build-a-figure and effects parts. The new figures are as follows.
Bumblebee - notable for being a Cyberverse Bumblebee figure that finally utilizes the actual parts from his vehicle mode to form his robot mode, giving us a real roof chest, bumper shoulders, and door wings. He comes with a handgun and his stinger weapon.
Optimus Prime comes with his ion blaster and an opening chest that reveals the matrix. He also includes a blast effect that doubles as a matrix blast from his chest.
Megatron is a more advanced figure that makes a much more convincing tank. He includes his fusion cannon complete with blast effect, and he even has a smirk on his face.
Shockwave once again shows that Cyberverse can produce some pretty dang good Shockwave figures, and he comes with a hand weapon complete with blast effect.
And finally, the build-a-figure for the wave is Maccadam! Maccadam comes in 10 pieces, though if those 10 pieces are divided up solely between the 4 figures listed here is yet unknown. Maccadam is the kindly bartender from Cyberverse who might actually be a member of the 13 and has also shown to be a pretty big help for the present day main cast. Maccadam is non-transformable, but promises to be pretty dang posable with all his pieces.

You get half a Maccadam, since he is made up of 8 parts, just in case that wasn't clear. The build a figure aspect here doesnt matter much since these are all figures I would buy anyway. What BLOWS about Marvel Legends BAF is that their build a figures have recently been something that should be a mainline figure. Thanos was the BAF of the Infinity Wars line AND of the Endgame line. And those lines consisted of 3rd tier comic characters like Black Night and Hercules that you had to buy. Like Fuck Off already. But here, its maccaddams, not a mainline bot and not a figure that transforms anyway. And you end up with good figures of popular bots from the show. He really feels like an extra, which is what BAF figures should be.
Also, people can always sell the parts they dont want (either the extra macadams part of the deluxe robots) to recoup whatever cost. We already have an established fan community seling toys, this is just getting added to the mix.
And I agree D-Max, these are the big reveals for me. Knowing that this line is actually giving us toys on the level with the generations line.
And finally, Bee gets a toy where it's good and there is no fake kibble.
His chest is as fake as Pamela Anderson's.
