Yesterday, an unannounced Cyberverse three pack was found on Target shelves, and now, we have once another sighting of another new item! That being the "Sharkticons Attack" four pack, with a redeco of One Step Changer Hot Rod in the Stealth Force colors, and three new Sharkticons. By the tribal markings, two belong to the Snouts, and one belongs to the Tails. Each of these fellas can transform into BotBot sized robot modes, as seen in the pictures below. The set was found in a Target at Victoria, Texas for 20 USD.
These images come from u/Valdor99 over at r/transformers. What are your thoughts on this second unannounced set? Will you buy this set if you spot it? Let us know in the Pub forums below!

I love those little sharkies, I thought they would be non transforming, so I am glad to see that's not the case.

Two Snouts and one Tail? Now we just need a member of the Fins to complete the three tribes. I wonder if we'll ever get any toys of the three tribe leaders Jawsy, Backbite, and Sawtooth.
These little surfer dudes need their bodacious leaders, man. Lord Gnaw isn't enough by himself.

Just purchased spark armor Grimlock. as for the robot mode the only thing he lacks is a to pose for the shoulders upwards into a T pose but i guess he needs this limitation otherwise it might negatively affect the hip function in dino mode.
Since Trash Crash sounds like stupid rhyme for the armor i'm calling it Wreck-Gar instead, got the idea from Animated Wreck-Gar's alternate mode. The armor helmet reminds me of Scourge from Robots in Disguise 2001 minus blue eyes.
I also gave him a modified version of a Classics Deluxe green tank Megatron; I removed the stock and cut down a small portion so Grimlock can hold it. He looks great with a little extra firepower.

Not really sure how new this is. Spotted Wave 4 of the Power of the Spark, Scraplet and OP (redeco) at a local Target. Again, not a line i buy but interesting to see Scraplet in person.
Again, this is something new in my area and could have been out in other areas now.

That Clobber looks pretty good, I think I will get her.
And those 2 new packs look pretty neat. I might get the Hot rod one for the black Hot rod car mode and baby sharks, and I kinda really want the quintesson one. I didn't get that Wave or Prowl, so those will be nice to go with the Quint.
Will go looking on New Years day I think

Right as the new year is about to begin, most of the first batch of 2020 offerings for the Cyberverse line can now be found in the US. The Quintesson and Sharkticon multipacks have been found at Target already and now we have reports coming in for the warrior class figures, the ultra class armor figures and the sought after deluxe class figures.
The new warrior figures found include Stealth Force Hot Rod, a repacked Soundwave, Cybertronian Megatron and Cybertronian Bumblebee. They were found at Walmart with the earliest sightings from Virginia. The specific sighting here is from tf fan Daimao.
The new ultra class spark armor figures, like Clobber, have been found at Meijer in New Albany, Indiana, by tf fan primeisboss.
The deluxes, which include Megatron, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Shockwave were found at a Target in Wisconsin by tf fan Jacer. These are the ones that are more articulated and as complex as the Studio Series toys and come with a build a figure component for Maccadam as a bonus.

Why did they change Lugnut to Clobber? It was lugnut back when that design was introduced in transformers animated right?
And just to add, because why would you want to put out a bunch of new toys right before christmas when everyone is looking for gifts, when you can wait until after the chirstmas season.

Clobber isn't Lugnut, she's not even meant to be him. She's just a female version of him (like Slipstream existing seperately to Starscream)

In addition, the backside of her toy packaging uses the masculine inflection of "Bruiser" for her function in French, Spanish, and Portuguese.

As far as that "some reason" goes, Hasbro probably didn't want a female Transformer to have the name of an anatomic euphemism that refers to a certain male component.carytheone wrote:Take this with a grain of salt.ZeroWolf wrote:Clobber isn't Lugnut, she's not even meant to be him.

No one, the packaging is just using the masculine spelling of bruiser in languages that use gender specific spellings. For example in Spanish - matón(masculine) vs matona(feminine). I'm making assumptions because I haven't seen the packaging myself. I couldn't find different spellings of bruiser (cogneur) in French. If only there was someone on the boards that spoke French, maybe they could help us...Sabrblade wrote:Who was saying that?william-james88 wrote:Bruisers can't be female?

Picked up a set of the Cyberverse Deluxes, all the Targets in El Paso, Texas has at least one of each. Somehow Bumblebee is my favorite of the four, which i thought would be impossible, but all four are definite improvements over the Warrior class figures. I’m looking forward to the next wave and completing Maccadam, and hoping they do more (with a good Starscream please, I’m begging y’all)!

At a local Walmart I picked up Cyberverse Adventure Bumblebee and Hotrod. Funny enough I have not touched this toylike until now. Something I liked about Hotrod, Bumblebee is ok, definitely better in robot mode. HIs vehicle mode is definitely unique.
With Hotrod, wish his wheels where the same color as on the package. Would look much better!

This weekend, a Target store in Gurnee, IL (home of Chicagoland's Six Flags Great America theme park) debuted a dedicated Transformers end cap, which mostly featured Transformers Cyberverse products. Among these products were BotBots, Cyberverse Power of the Spark 1-Steps, Cyberverse Adventures Deluxes (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Shockwave and Megatron), Cyberverse Elite Class, Cyberverse Ultra Class, Cyberverse Battle for Cybertron Quintesson Invasion set and Sharkticons Attack set, Cyberverse Ultimate Class, Cyberverse 2-pack with Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Starscream, and War for Cybertron SIEGE Leader Class.

Why are they pushing this crappy dollar store KO quality garbage so hard? They need to drop this horrible baby crap & focus on Generations & Studio Series. Why did they even go in this direction after 35 years of awesome???

Who says that they're not ALSO doing the things that you want? I think we've gotten 120+ products out of Generations and Studio Series combined in the past year and a half or less. That's pretty amazing. That's some pretty amazing amounts of new product geared toward the collector market that has mostly been sold at retail, with the exception of Generations Selects (which has so far been fairly easy to get online with the exception of the Seacons).
Some of us like the light hearted / kids-geared Cyberverse and Rescue Bots products. On a personal level, I love that Cyberverse has already added a really cool twist to the Quintessons by giving them these "mind-control" devices that attach to Transformers. I'm looking forward to seeing how this unfolds in the Cyberverse storyline and how this potentially impacts anything related to Quintessons going forward.

It's especially intriguing since the show already gave us a fun brand new take on the Sharkticons that featured them uniquely as their own autonomous culture without any sign or trace of the Quints, so whatever connection might be made between the two in Season 3 could lead to some more fun with the surfer dude Sharkticons.

Just cant get into the Cyberverse line. I tried but its just not appealing to me. Just patiently waiting for Earthrise and catching up on older figs is fine for me right now.

What's really amazing to me is the brand itself at the moment. There really is something for everyone at the moment. A nice preschool line with Rescue Bots. A young kid line with Cyberverse that takes a lot of cues from the overall history of the brand that can be of interest to adult collectors. A Generations line geared toward mainstream and collectors. A movie universe line geared toward mainstream and collectors. An advanced collector oriented Masterpiece line with G1, Diaclone, toy, cartoon, Beast Wars, and Movie products. High end collectible statues, Fun product lines which appeals to a variety of people like BotBots, Tiny Turbo Changers and other products. 1-Steps. 3-Steps. A new upcoming Unicron toy. Titan Class figures! Many variations of the same character (something that was once a no-no by the brand team at the beginning of past decade). Multiple comics! Multiple cartoons! The brand has never been bigger.
It is truly an amazing time to be a Transformers fan.

This is my first time seeing that Sharkticon pack. I actually really like the look of those baby Sharkticons!
The Quint judge ... if there wasn't a 3P option I have and if a new one for Earthrise wasn't coming I think I'd be pretty happy a G1-ish Quint was something I could have.

I totally caught that and I am surprised so few fans don't. This line takes a lot of cues from G1, which was a toyline for kids. It has the same characters as G1, along with the same basic articulation and simple enough transformations. Plus it has gimicks for kids, which the G1 line did do as well in the later years. It very much is an old school kids line and I find that fun in itself.
Also, while I did not intend this at all, my house became like a pop up christmas store for Transformers, since i was selling a small chunk of my collection. Most of the customers were parents looking for simpler toys for 4-6 year olds. I had almost nothing for them, but this Cyberverse line would be perfectly up their alley. All to say there is definitely a market out there and this line answers a big need. It's these toys that can make new young fans that will one day support the brand when they are older.

I love that their approach was to sort of introduce kids to all of these great characters from various parts of the franchises' history. I noticed that these Cyberverse figures sold relatively well as a lot of the stock didn't hang around for too long at my local retailers. I'm hoping to acquire as many of the newer deluxes as I can. Hope to see more Beast Wars characters eventually as well.

So, I definately want to see what Generations is up to first. For me, the big tirboff is that the only Quint (and the sharkticons to a much lesser extent) I can buy is in a three pack with two figures that left outbthe coolest parts about them. Now, I say that, I don't think they could have sold a Quintesson toy on its own without some sort of gimmick and bonus in the box. But if I can get a Quint on its own, then I will pass.
Are those new faces? I dont remember them from G1

Death is recognizable, but the other four faces appear to be redesigned versions.Flashwave wrote:Are those new faces? I dont remember them from G1

I was hoping to pick up some baby Sharkticons at Target, but they had nothing new for Cyberverse and no end cap display. 
Guess I'll try again in a week. Going to hold off on the Quint set until we see what happens in Earthrise, we should be getting our first look in at least a month at Toy Fair if not sooner.
