And thus the great cataloging of my collection continues. Transformers Cyberverse got off to a slow start. Not a great amount of toys and most of those either Warrior-class or 1-step changers. Also the cartoon was pretty lackluster, it seemed that, like the comics, it was the ‘Bumblebee & Windblade Show’ – two characters definetely … Continue reading Transformers Collection – Cyberverse
Just when everyone thought that Cyberverse was over, it’s managed to get in one last gasp of life. Dinobots Unite has just aired on Youtube – a special where Grimlock finally gets all of his Dino-buddies together – both on screen and in their combined mode – Volcanicus. As such it means new toys to … Continue reading Toys Review – Cyberverse Dinobots
Titans are becoming a larger (no pun intended) part of Transformers lore. However for the most part they have remained in the Generation One universe with its associated comics and toylines. Cyberverse became surprisingly popular as the cartoon progressed through the seasons, it was a very G1’esque universe, and indeed featured two brand new Titan characters – Croaton and Iaconus. … Continue reading Toy Review – Cyberverse Iaconus
The Warrior Class toys from the Cyberverse line had gotten a reputation for being pretty poor, and for the most part that rep was deserved. The simplistic paint jobs, transformations and lacklustre modes have made many of these figures an easy pass for most collectors. However thankfully, like the cartoon which got pretty damn good … Continue reading Toys Review – Cyberverse Deluxe Class, Wave 1
Sharkticons. In G1 they worked for the Quintessons. In IDW they worked for the Junkions. Whatever the place in the Multiverse, it always seems to be the fate of the Sharkticons to be the serving class – rotund warriors who turn into savage shark… thingies. Gnaw is to this day the only named member of … Continue reading Toy Review – Cyberverse Gnaw
Season 2 of Cyberverse has just started to air in Australia and more Cyberverse toys are hitting the shelves. One of the latest ones is a character who ironically died in a flashback back in Season 1. So let’s have a look at that grand old sage, one of the Original 13 and Matrix-babysitter for … Continue reading Toy Review – Cyberverse Alpha Trion
Good old Soundwave, after having a break for many years he got revived for the Cybertron series and has been a staple ever since. Animated, Prime, RID(15), Movieverse – he’s been in them all. It should not come as much of a surprise then that Soundwave has cropped up in the new Cyberverse series, ensuring … Continue reading Toy Review – Cyberverse Soundwave
Slipstream – the female Seeker fatalle. Introduced back in Transformers Animated as a female clone of Starscream, Slipstream became very popular very quickly. Not only having the distinction of the only official female Seeker ever, but also one of a small number of female Decepticons all up. Fans loved seeing another female baddie and combined … Continue reading Toy Review: Cyberverse Slipstream (Ultra)
Cyberverse has been trotting out a lot of characters that originated in G1. Some of these toys could be considered an improvement on their originators, others have been woefully compromised by putting in half-arsed gimmicks (such as Acid Storm’s Toxic Slice) and being overly simplified for Warrior-Class toys. Today we look at a character that … Continue reading Toy Review: Cyberverse Prowl
The relatively short first season of the Cyberverse cartoon has come to an end, but new toys are still turning up on the shelves. I must admit I am eschewing most of them but when I saw Acid Storm in a local store I couldn’t help but pick him (or is it her?) up. So … Continue reading Toy Review – Cyberverse: Acid Storm
