Official Hasbro Transformers Website Cyberverse Updates: Decepticon Flamewar, Hyperspeed Wheeljack, Quickblade Bumblebee, Ultra Magnus, and Nightwatch Optimus Prime

"As the commander of the most elite AUTOBOT special forces unit ever assembled"

sounds like Magnus is the Wreckers' boss. Nice.

hope it means he'll show up on the toon at some point.

um... use a spellchecker next time

Ultra Maguns
Hyerspeed Wheeljack

Spellchecker doesn't recognize Hyperspeed or Magnus, but thanks for pointing to out none the less.

Let the repaints begin..!

So, "QUICKblade Bumblebee", you say...

I see they're giving future shelfwarmers ironic names now. Clever.

Flamewar? Amazing, now I can happily skip CV Arcee. (and it comes with a recolor of Vehicon's gun, I love that thing)

Individual release of Wheeljack? Also great! I have no intention of picking up the Jackhammer, so I'm glad they decided to do this...shame it comes with BB's stupid gun though. =_=; Honestly, I'd rather have another scalpel than another stinger-gun, but oh well.

I really like CV Magnus, but I want to wait to get a better look at the Voyager to decide which I'll snag.

This makes me wonder if they'll do an individual release of Knock Out?

This may be an Elite Guard reference. However, either way, I am also hoping to see some Magnus in Prime. (Wow....that sounds like the start of a terrible slash fic......)

It could also harken back to his days as a Wrecker leader in the G1 comics or Dreamwave comics. (I know I probably got it wrong, so if you know more about Magnus' past then I do, please feel free to correct me.) Regardless, love that he comes with his hammer from Animated

Flamewar, Wheeljack, and Ultra Magnus. I gotta have those....

And only Autobot figure repaints to boot!
Why can't my 'Cons get any love?

I love that they're making more fembots. I also love that it's a rather obscure character like Flamewar...and that they're making her from Arcee's mold, just like with the original Flamewar. Now how hard would it be to make a deluxe Flamewar from Arcee's RID mold? Or the First Edition mold, like they're doing with Slipstream/Starscream.

Flamewar and Ultra Magnus will be mine!

wheeljack & flamewar look cool but since the price of legends went up im going to have to pass. Hasbro needs to either lower their prices back down to normal or put out some more coupons, normally TFs fly off the shelves around here but since the price hikes the selection has not changed in months.

Price hike? They're still $5 most places around here...though they're $5.98 at Walmart for some reason. o_O

Flamewar is the one I am looking forward to from this wave
the rest are interesting but not compelling

I think this WJ looks better than the one included in the Jerk-hammer. I'm gonna pass on Flamwar in hopes that HasTak does the right thing and produce a deluxe class version...'nuff said!

Not digging Flamewar's "obsessed with defeating Arcee" bio. Make an evil recolor of one character, and then give her a bio as the sworn enemy of said character. Might as well call her "Nemesicee"

Still, I'd get a Deluxe version of her.

Quickblade BB and Hyperspeed WJ are passes.

Love the subtle reference to Ultra Magnus commanding the Wreckers. I'll take the Voyager, though.

Nightwatch OP is another pass.

It's a Wreckers reference. Ultra Magnus is the leader of the Aligned continuity Wreckers.

Marvel UK had him more as their boss rather than their leader (meaning that he wasn't a member, but did oversee them). Dreamwave did have him be leader at some point, though.

I think it's utterly hilarious that Wheeljack looks like a Prime version of Marlboor (Diaclone) Wheeljack, after all of the issues with Reprolabels not touching Upgrade Marlboor sets with a 10 foot pole...

THANK YOU!

I read through the whole post and no one had mentioned the Marlboor nod.

I love Wheeljack, and will be getting bot this version and the one with the Jack Hammer.

Oh wow, it really does, that's pretty slick!

Only one new Bumblebee? I'm disappointed. This line should have been Wheelblaze Bumblebee, Raceway Bumblebee, Quickblade Bumblebee, Hammer Strike Bumblebee and Lonely Truck Stop Bumblebee. THEN maybe I'd be interested

What deco does 'Lonely Truck Stop Bumblebee' get though!?

You know how many figures have "battle damage"? Similar to that, except instead of scars and scrapes it's just shame.

See, this is why I joined this forum.
