The official Transformers Facebook page is now showing 3d renders of the first wave of Transformers Cyberverse figures. We see a few additions to the ones we already knew of ealier today. I have also set up a handy guide showing which characters and price points constitute each class so far.
Scout Class: Similar size to the scout class of old but that is where the similarities end. These are all based on an action gimmick and, from the image shown, it does not seem like any of them fully transform into their alt modes. That would definitely explain the price point being only $8 as compared to the current Legends class seen in Generations. We can see Bumblebee, Megatron, Grimlock and Starscream below.
Warrior Class: Deluxe sized figures which seem simpler than the previous Warrior class toys we got in RID. They each have an action gimmick. We can see Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Shockwave and Starscream below. $15 Price point.
Ultra Class: Voyager size wth simplified tranformation and focus on gimmick. Very similar to RID Power Surge Class. We can see Bumblebee, Grimlock and Starscream below. $20 Price point.
Ultimate Class: Leader size but with simplified articulation and complexity, similar to the bigger Cyber Battalion figures we have seen in the past. These however will include an added action gimmick. We can see Optimus Prime and Megatron below. $30 Price point.
While renders do may not be optimal to get a good sense of how these will look, this image below contains the actual finished products of Ultra Starscream, Scout Megatron, Ultimate Optimus (showing his Matrix gimmick) and Warrior Bumblebee.

I think Scout Class may be a non-starter for my son since they don't fully transform.

Not too bad so far. Grimlock's dino mode is a little goofy-looking, but I like Shockwave's tank mode. I kind of like the idea of each figure having a "special move", too.

The classes of figures have me confused with me mainly sticking to the legends/deluxe/voyager types but some of the figures look good whilst the others are uggghh. I'd even say some of these look better than RID15 and POTP versions. If the Optimus had a flap/fold to actually have hands not surrounded by kibble it might have been a decent Optimus but not much point when they haven't put any effort into Megatron.

The RID Decepticons were all new and exciting. Sure, we also got Stascream, Soundwave and the Stunticons but those designs were all new and fun.

I wouldn't exactly call "robot animal stereotypes" new and exciting.
To this day I still have to resist the urge to swear every time I remember the word "Buffaloid."

At face value this line doesn't seem too different from Robots in Disguise, the only figure that really piques my interest is Warrior Shockwave. I'm sure kids will like them, and I hope they succeed in the marketplace, though I think this is another line I'll mostly skip.

they are new and exciting to me, at least. I dropped the show after the 3rd episode, and was about to drop the toyline, until i saw that the animalistic decepticons gets an actual toy. Those beastly decepticon are what got me into RID toyline. It just feels fresh and exciting for me.

Hell yeah, if the following is not fresh and exciting compared to Optimus being a red truck cab, Megatron being a grey tank and Bumblebee being a yellow car, then I dont know what is.
Other returning characters got fresh new looks too, like Starscream, which pays homage to previous designs while being a new design all of his own.
Even the Optimus toys were pretty fresh and new in design by comparison, incorporating the trailer ala Star Convoy. Gave a bunch of potential to Hasbro and Takara, which they didnt fail on providing.
Basically, I cant think of anything more fresh than RID this side of Beast Wars.

"Animated" I considered fresh and exciting. The IDW post-war comics I consider fresh and exciting.
A robot lobster that hates land-bound robots or a robot bee queen that is vulnerable to cold are not the pinnacle of creativity.

Grimlock.

We are talking about differet things then, I was only referring to designs, with this being a thread about the toyline. I am not that much into the fiction (aside from some comics but even then its not what i was referring to).

Yeah these don’t look great. But if the quality on Shockwave isn’t too bad, it could make for a decent figure. A diamond among coals, so to speak. Oh and I find it neat that Grimlock takes some ques from the current IDW design. Prime does too. Too bad Generations doesn’t.

Nobody else has asked so I'll ask: Does Ultimate Megatron have elbows? Sure doesn't look like it.
Warrior Starscream looks to be the best figure in the line so far. The guns fixed to his arms don't bother me and he has a unique transformation (his head is in the back of the jet instead of the front) and an "ab crunch" joint as part of his transformation (which seems to be the same for all of the Warriors). My only complaint is that they didn't gang mold the blue arms with his feet and tail wings to breakup the gray.

- An obsessed gladiator champion who turns into an excavator a "gorilla stereotype"?
- A delusional zealot who turns into a pick-up truck a "frog stereotype"?
- A speed-obsessed wannabe philosopher who turns into a muscle car a "lizard stereotype"?
- A rough'n'tumble cowgirl-esque treasure-seeker who turns into an SUV a "porcupine stereotype"?
- The hungry, body-building braggart Underbite even stereotyping any animal in particular when he's a completely made up animal?

Ultra Starscream might be fun if those are all individual missiles rather than just two big projectiles sculpted to look like multiple missiles.
I'm confused as to why they thought the kids' line needed to be retro-G1. Is Rescue Bots going to be the only non-G1 line from here forward?
Whoever convinced the rest of the team that it was a good idea to make Transformers that only transform halfway should go into politics.

Also, I knew we were getting a little G1 rehashing but... Ugh. Seriously? Transformers is so much more than the original designs. I love them a lot, but I also loved Beast Wars, Armada, and Cybertron (I'm not sure what this thing called "Energon" is?). C'mon, can we get a Hot Sh- Oh, Rescue Bots. Um, Red Alert! Jetfire! And other really awesome people.

Yeah, it seems to be remembered as much as the Beast, but for those unaware, that's the line with the kick ass Scout figures, with accessories galore that you were able to combine. Its also the line with amazing decepticon toys. I am not sure that that thing called Autobots is though.

Omg this Cyberverse line is crazy!
They overall look wacky and cheap knock off toys.
And what's with the name? Why can't they make names that make it actually easy to find stuff on ebay?
Prime, RID, Cyberverse, for the love of sanity. Make distinctive names Hasbro. And why is an Ultra a Voyager? Any of you member that it was more like:
Basic - Deluxe - Mega - Ultra - Supreme
Now they make Mega an Ultra? Hasbro pls.
On the subject: I love that Shockwave. It might be my favorite one ever. I like the Fall of Cybertron one and the Prime repaint (lighter purple) and of course Masterpiece Shockwave.
And the tankmode is cool and different (name me 5 spider tank altmodes)
And I'm really digging Kawaii Truck Optimus Ultimate class.
He looks almost like the perfect Optimus for me.
Front of the cab is actually his chest in robot mode.
I Really hate Power of the Primes Optimus, 7 fake front cabs?
Really? You couldn't give Orion a true cab? You couldn't give
the combined suit the real front cab?
Anyway, so I like the realness of his chest, I'm nitpicky at that.
A little more transformation to get the hands out would've been nice. Hope he's more of a Voyager than a Leader Class size.
Megatron looks like a Tonka Tank, like the altmode, robot mode not so much.
I really don't understand this line, but Shockwave's a win.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it?
Just because a name is reused doesn't mean it should retain its original definition. I will agree it makes designating the toys harder and more confusing than it should be.
Worth noting is that like RiD2015, Cyberverse does not use any of the Size Class names from Generations. In other words, any given current Size Class can refer to only one line:
Generations
Master Class (Titan or Prime)
Legends Class
Deluxe Class
Voyager Class
Leader Class
Titan Class
Cyberverse
Scout Class
Warrior Class (reused from RiD 2015)
Ultra Class
Ultimate Class
Definitely a step up from RiD 2015, which had too many over the course of 2 to 3 years.

Why the big chins again Hasbro? It's one of the biggest things I really disliked about Animated and Prime.

Pass on these but that Grimlock at least has a better, less blocky design than the awful PotP figure.

Allow me to guess some comments that will be all:
Still, I'd get a few myself. It will depend on reviews, sales or not, and the good old impulse buy. One thing for sure is I'll get the Warrior Starscream, Bee, Optimus, and Megatron. To have them in their new look without spending too much display space.
HOW DARE THEY MAKE A TRANSFORMERS LINE AIMED AT CHILDREN?

Me too. That 4 legged Mechwarior mode is adorable and a first for the character.

I'm going to match your "HOW DARE THEY MAKE A TRANSFORMERS LINE AIMED AT CHILDREN?" with a "THEY'RE ALIEN ROBOTS THAT HAVE FOUGHT FOR MILLIONS OF YEARS! THEY'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ADORABLE!"

I just had an horrible thought. Imagine if the Transformers have the same "bug" in their brain as us human. The one that make time go faster and faster as we get older..... The effect is exponential too.

We talking about this?
Given the detailing on the arms and the tank turret, either image is flipped.

Oh, yeah, THAT. So other than the preschool line, the choices are between "this is getting really redundant" and "don't even talk to me about the movies, just don't".

No, there will be a constant movie line as well, so that makes 2 non G1 lines.

If ever. The RiD2015 Warrior Class was the closest thing we got to that.
As it stands now, what we consider the "Traditional" Size Classes is now limited to just Generations-style lines including Movie offshoots like the Studio Series, for old farts like us older kids, with the clear intention of keeping them separate from the other lines.
Not fair I tell ya

As the initial images and coverage of New York Toy Fair 2018 have passed, we now have the time to delve into some high-definition, closer looks at the Hasbro showroom in the Times Center, part of the full event but separate from the Javits Center where the Fair is taking place over the weekend.
This first gallery, then, brings together the toys and products that will form the upcoming Transformers: Cyberverse line, which will follow the animated series currently in production with Hasbro and Boulder Media - from our panel recap: 'the story of Autobots and Decepticons, their origins, teammates thrugh the perspective of Bumblebee. Animation style looks to be a mix between Rescue Bots and Robots in Disguise.'
For the toyline, we're expecting on the Decepticon side Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave and new character Shadow Striker; on the Autobot side Optimus, Windblade, Bumblebee, Grimlock - all of which will feature the Action Attack gimmick, as described in the official blurb below, to accompany the official images. Take a look at a sample of the images in the gallery, and head here for the full works before joining the discussion in the Energon Pub!

Born from insights as to what kids want from our animation, our new animated series launching Fall 2018,
TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE is a vehicle to illuminate the core characters and the big picture story beats that lie at the heart of all Transformers storytelling, while extending that story in exciting new directions. TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE will deepen the understanding of the franchise’s key characters and make them recognizable by highlighting who those characters are and establishing clear and ownable personalities, roles on the team and signature moves.
Our TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE product line featuring our new Action Attacker product innovation celebrates each character’s signature moves in a more than meets the eye way – through conversion! Each character in the line can convert to activate their signature move – the last step of conversion will activate this feature action attack.
Scout Class and Warrior Class activate their signature move in robot mode, Ultra Class activates in vehicle mode, and Ultimate Class activates in both modes. Each SKU across the TRANSFORMERS CYBERVERSE action attacker line offers a different way to activate this action attack across different scales
