If they're anything like the Hungry Jacks (which is like the Australian Burger King) chips, then you can keep them.

The only thing I like from HJ's is their frozen Coke.

My kids both got Prime over the weekend. I couldn't find any info online, and wasn't sure if it was a new promo or just leftovers from an earlier one...now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

That frozen coke sounds delicious.

I want to go back to the glory years of Transformer Happy Meal toys, where they actually transformed.

Pales in comparison to Coke Icee

Aren't the Cyberverse figures already happy meal toys?

The Beast Era was truly glorious, yes.

The original 4 beast wars happy meal toys remain my favorite happy meal set ever. The animated ones were charming as well, but I would prefer original characters, though I understand the marketing reasons behind why they don't do that.

What were the last set of Transforming Happy Meal Toys? Armada? (And I use the term transforming loosely for a few of those)

Animated, and two different sets to boot: one for Norh America and Europe, the other for Latin America which featured a Jumpstarter gimmick.

And both sets of figures were bricks. Same with those of all three Unicron Trilogy series. The last fully transformable ones that also attempted to have some degree of non-transformation-related articulation were the Beast Machines ones.

Still, at least they transformed. Animated as a great time

Fellow Seibertronians! Yours truly has discovered a "seismic discovery" with the Transformers Cyberverse Ultimate Grimlock, the leader sized toy. Thanks to yours truly, we have photo evidence that the King of the Dinosaurs has arrived at US retail. The new Leader class figure was found at a Walmart in Ormond Beach, Florida, and retails for $29.99.



With the local Walmarts emptying the shelves for new product, it was a pleasant surprise to find this fun figure. For an in depth review of the new Leader, visit our pictorial review for the Cyberverse Leader Class Grimlock.

Grimlock can be purchased from Walmart's online store here.

The hunt for this figure and much more is officially on right now, so stay tuned for more coverage of the latest Transformers news.

I posted this in my state sighting (Virginia) but to share on here, at a Walmart spotted the Ultimate Class Grimlock. Again a line i do not collect but he looked good alongside OP and Megatron.

Yeah, he does look good. And he's actually as decent as can be for what he is (a big cheap kids toy).

Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 has a review for a toy many fans are interested in, Cyberverse Spark Armour Cheetor. There are many Cheetor fans out there and this is the first transforming Cheetor from Hasbro in over 10 years. Plus, while the toyline has been panned by fans for it's reliance on gimmicks, the spark armour base figures have all been rather traditional by comparison. While this item does have a listing on Amazon, it is currently only available at Target.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Wait I just realized, this is a cat with a boat, cats hate water. Good one Hasbro! Cheetor is a beloved character from Beast Wars so I'm sure there are quite a few people happy to see it included in the Cyberverse line. The figure is pretty good since the gimmick is contained in the Battleship. Combined Cheetor is still fairly articulated and fun to play with. Definitely worth the pick-up.

I'm really liking the ultimate Grimlock. As long as i like Cheetor, I think I will be getting Grimlock too

My Cheetor arrived today, and he isn't too bad! The main figure is a bit light, but he's got the necessary articulation, and the modes aren't too bad either. i feel like this one as a standalone would work fairly well on the Prime/RiD shelf, he has that same aesthetic in toy form.

The battleship armor is definitely where the heavier plastic went. and it's not too bad either. I like the new helmet with it.

So overall, not too bad for my first cyberverse figure. He's neat! A nice little trial run. Might grab a few of the smaller armor ones and Grimlock i think, this part of the line is interesting enough to warrant a look and see

I really dug the heft. Been awhile since I handled a figure with some mass.

Thanks to our own ScottyP we've learned of new listings for Transformers Cyberverse Power of the Spark Battle Class Spark Armor Ratchet with Blizzard Breaker, Shockwave with Solar Shot, and we've also learned of Elite Class Spark Armor Grimlock with Trash Crash! Ratchet and Shockwave are both listed at Amazon but Ratchet is currently out of stock with Shockwave listed as due to arrive a few weeks into September. Grimlock is currently listed at Entertainment Earth here, or at NDA Toys here. You can click on any of the images below to go to the respective links as well. Enjoy the images and share your thoughts in the forums. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!


Ratchet with Blizzard Breaker:




















Shockwave with Solar Shot:




















Grimlock with Trash Crash:

I have been more accepting of Shockwave's vehicle since I saw it in motion in the show.

Okay, so I was reading the listing for Ratchet on Amazon and I run across with this -

Amazon wrote:Collect cool converting characters from the show Transformers: Robots in disguise

- and I died.

i am actually interested in grimlock there. he seems to have "good" articulations, with overall badass design, and the garbage truck armor is hillarious, but also looks badass at the same time.

shockwave's armor looks like he's gearing up to represent Neo Holland

Somewhere there’s a kid who’s dad is a paramedic who’s also coincidentally a snowmobile enthusiast. And he will now be a TF fan for life.

It gives me the same vibe of why I love Mega Man villains.

While gundam as a whole has phenomenal designs, G Gundam in particular has a lot of off the wall designs, Google what Neo Americas entry looked like (and Neo Canada for that matter)

I can't wait to get some of these spark armours, should be free to get some in the next few weeks.

Thanks to Ham-Man reviews we have a video review for Transformers Cyberverse Mace Mash Gnaw! Although looking much like his Titans Return iteration in robot mode and transformation you will find this version of Gnaw to be quite different, a good bit bigger and now sporting an action gimmick involving his whole upper torso in robot mode being able to whirl around for his Mace Mash attack. Any fans of the character shouldn't have too many issues with the scale differences as this is one of the few genuine troop builders in the Decepticon army and they still go relatively well when side by side in the review. Enjoy the view and share your thoughts with the Seibertron crew in the forums. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Thanks to Hasbro's most recent update to the Cyberverse section of their website we have some new Transformers Cyberverse profiles for you to enjoy! The site now has images and profiles for the most recent darlings of the line namely Sky-Byte, Jetfire, and of course Cheetor! These characters are listed as part of Chapter 2 of the Cyberverse saga also known as Cyberverse: Power of the Spark. Enjoy the images and profiles below and let us know your thoughts in the forums. As always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!


Function: Guardian of the Allspark
"Cheetor is the Allspark's mysterious guardian. Like, majorly mysterious. No one knows the source of his enormous strength and catlike form? Anyway, turns out being cloaked in mystery makes you very difficult to defeat, and even more difficult to buy presents for. Thankfully he uses his powers to defend the side of good against those nasty Decepti-creeps."
-Bumblebee


Function: Mighty Air Guardian
"Everyone thought Jetfire exploded in a plume of jet smoke while battling his nemesis, Sky-Byte. Luckily for the Autobots he lived to fight (and fight, and fight) another day. He never gives up, and he never gives in. Just don't get in his way when he's in the middle of combat. He has a habit of destroying everything in his path to clinch a win."
-Bumblebee


Function: Harbinger of Doom
"Part ferocious fighter, part freaky metal shark-jet with lasers, Sky-Byte is Megatron's first choice for missions that border on the impossible. He's fast, tough, and bursting at the seams with enough firepower to handle any situation. No matter where you are, if Sky-Byte is on your tail, there's no safe place to hide."
-Bumblebee

So, Cheetor has super strength, Jetfire's a born fighter, and Sky-Byte is a mad daredevil and Jetfire's rival.

Can't say that Cyberverse isn't at least trying something new with these guys.

Cheetor being the guardian of the AllSpark in this show, and Optimus Primal being the similar guardian of the Requiem Blaster in Power of the Primes, gives me the impression that Hasbro doesn't really know what to do with the Beast Wars characters. Most of them don't really fit in a back-to-basics G1 themed setting, but years of fan polls have told Hasbro that the Beast Wars characters are too popular to just leave in the past (as I suspect John Warden wants to), however it feels to me as if the same general backstory is being re-used for Cyberverse Cheetor because Hasbro can't (or don't care to) come up with anything different.

Hard to say, in some regards all you'd have to do is say that his team landed on another planet and were forced to take on organic alt modes, ala the original beast wars premise.

ZeroWolf wrote:Hard to say, in some regards all you'd have to do is say that his team landed on another planet and were forced to take on organic alt modes, ala the original beast wars premise.

Or better yet, say his team landed in the very heart of Africa in a location far away from any technology or civilization, and had no choice but to scan animals instead of vehicles/metal objects since there were none available to scan.

Well, back when Beast Wars was the current toyline/cartoon, G1 was relegated to the mysterious past, which made sense for longtime fans and gave BW a vague, epic history for kids too young to remember G1. So if one accepts that BW=different-era-relative-to-G1, the now 20 year old in real life Beast-Era gets displaced into the vague past of a current G1-ish leg of the TF franchise Its characters therefore fill a similar role to the Guardian units, Mysterio-esque-drones, etc. in the G1 'toon, but with actual personality. It makes just enough sense.

One odd bio tidbit:

Anyway, turns out being cloaked in mystery makes you very difficult to defeat, and even more difficult to buy presents for.

...makes me wonder if someone just gave him that battleship for his 100,000,000th birthday.

Hey, cut him some slack, at least he got the size right. That's better than most people's relatives can manage.

Just realized Cheetor is a Target exclusive, not sure how I hadn't noticed that before. Hope I don't regret passing on him in favor of Alpha Trion today.

Alpha Trion is pretty great though, he looks great with Siege figures, but the flaps that hang between his knees are very loose and readily fall off. Keep an those when you're buying, there isn't much keeping them in the open box! If you look at the stock photos you can see the one on the right (his left) is falling off.

So I took Cheetor to work today, and I have to say i am enjoying him so far. The main bot is a little light, and the majority of the mass went to the Battleship, but overall, he is not bad. He's pretty posable, playable, and pretty fun. I don't mind picking him up at all, he's fun! I would recommend him, he's a nice little piece of Cyberverse that is actually good

While the Transfomers Siege line might have it's own line wide COMBAT gimmick, it is simply an abundance of 5mm ports. Now, since the Cyberverse Spark Armour figures use that same 5mm system for their armour, some cross compatibility is more than possible. We now have some photos to show you the result. They come from Transformers Overdrive on Facebook and show you just how limitless the 5mm system is. Plus, the smaller blast effect parts work perfectly with the ends of the guns on the Spark Armour. The result looks like they were made for eachother, at times. Also, while not depicted, one could do an homage to Action Master Sideswipe using that blue drone hat comes with Cyberverse Spark Armour Prowl (example below).

You will let us know what you think!
