Transformers Cyberverse Rack'N'Ruin Revealed

Oh, the extreme irony of Japan renaming the Deluxes as "Action Masters".

Wow, great news, thanks Stargrave. While the rackn ruin news is nice, I am also excited about that grimlock!

So we know now 6 of the proposed Deluxes, how many is left to reveal? Was it a total of 12 pieces for the BAF?

8 pieces to build Maccadam.

Thanks Sabrblade! So that means two Deluxes left to learn the identity of

Starscream has a toy in every size class or close to it, so that'd be my guess for one of them. Hoping the other would be someone like Shadow Striker, that'd be really cool.

I know Warden said that (I reported it), but he is not in charge of that line. Maccadam has 10 pieces total. Now if that means some will come with 2, who knows, but he might have been mistaken. Then again, he presented the first wave with 4 deluxes in hand so it might be 8 too. Just to say I am not entirely sure.

Wait. Does that mean there will be PROPER DELUXES coming soon? I mean, Generations-like?

Yes, we already knew about that from NYCC.

"Action Master" for the Deluxe Class? "Weapon Trigger" for the new Ultra and Ultimate Classes?

Ok...

Rack'n'Ruin!! Yes!! Even if it is just a simple toy, this is awesome news!

And if you browse through seibertron nycc 2019 cyberverse gallery, you will find the first 4 (5 if you count maccadams) on display, closer details.

Looks decent, might possibly bite for it. Would certainly be an interesting addition to the shelves.

Over a decade ago, I barely started a Rack'n'Ruin custom that would've involved connecting two Topspins together with Cybertron Red Alert arms. It never got further than attaching the former's fists and latter's head to a Deluxe BM Jetstorm to make my HMW team leader Storm Front, while the rest lies disassembled in my basement.

But now I can just buy an extra of this guy(s) and give one more G1 heads and arms!

Still say they should bring back Star Wars Crossovers and have them turn into a green Bespin cloud car though, since they were originally separate minijets according to The Facts, or something.

Though this design would also be good to redeco into Sticks'n'Stones for a Rock Lords crossover! Because NO ONE demanded it!

For reference, here's what Rack'n'Ruin looks like in the show:

yeah its a far cry from the look they had in Target 2006
maybe that can be for the war for cybertron trilogy

Has R+R ever been known to have an alt mode? I want to say this turning into a tank is the first time for that as well but I don't think I'm savvy to all versions of him in every continuity.

Transformers: The Facts declared the original altmodes of Marvel UK Rack'n'Ruin, prior to the operation that joined them together, to have been Cybertronian mini-jets.

Before I sent that in my head I yelled Summon the Sabrblade! Thank you sir, as always.

ive NO intereste in cyberverse, but i'll be picking up that rack'n'ruin.



heres hoping they get a generations release down the road. it really is great to see bots like them and impactor get some love.

who knows there could be a Fang in the wings if this keeps up !

If Toaster doesn't turn out to be some sort of pyromaniac, I'll be very disappointed.

There's also his sister Karmen, who turns into a set of heated hair curlers.

Some images have surface on Autobase Aichi's Twitter and there is a lot to take in when new info is concerned.

Firstly, these are images of the Whirl and Bludgeon Cyberverse toys that we saw in a Takara supplier catalogue. We did not know what scale/class they were but now we do. Unlike what was thought by many, Whirl is a one step. As is Bludgeon, though that was already assumed. Bludgeon does have a sword accessory which can be placed in his hand. These were found in Malaysia, at Toysrus, in different packaging than previous one steps, along with a repackaged Bumblebee and Wheeljack. This new packaging is for not one but 2 sublines, one called Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures and another called Cyberverse Battle for Cybertron. It is unsure if this is just location dependent packaging changed, which we did see before. Of course, slight rebrands like this are always seen in the second year of cartoon based toylines to give indication to both the store and the parents buying the toys that these are the latest ones.

Maybe "Battle for Cybertron" is a new subline imprint that reflects the theme of the show's third season storyline, like how "Power of the Spark" was for Season 2.

But why would we get it over a year in advance?

Over a year? Why would season 3 come in 2021 instead of 2020?

Ah right, got confused there.

I'm not surprised Bludgeon has a removable sword, all the one step figures have some sort of attack gimmick, like Jazz who's a reshell of Prowl.

Pretty sure I will still pick up Whirl as a 1-step. He looks good enough

I think I'll give that figure a whirl as well, could be fun.

Thanks to our own ScottyP, we have word that the latest wave of Cyberverse Warrior Class figures is currently out at retail in the U.S.! They were found at a Walmart in Raleigh, North Carolina, for the near bargain price of $11.92. Scotty sent us photo proof of Jetfire on the shelves, and let us know that his wavemates Drift and a new-mold Bumblebee were also available.



Have you seen any new and/or highly anticipated figures out in the wild? Send us photo evidence in your email and as always, happy hunting to everyone looking for these figures!

Wait... There weren't any confirmed reports of him being at U.S. retail yet? I picked mine up at Walmart about 3-4 weeks ago.

Erm..... I reported this about a month and a half ago, and they’re shelfwarming here in El Paso....

once again seibertron.com is a day late and a dollar short. I've owned this jetfire (and drift) for the better part of 2 months now. this website isnt doing anybody any service by posting these sightings so late in the game. pick up the pace a little bit. this website seems to be more geared towards selling ad space and marked up toys. thanks, I guess...

Enough, if anyone has issues with the news, feel free to use the 'contact us' form.

Since you do have this toy, talk about it instead or provide something useful to the discussion.

Pleased to say that Jetfire's the best Warrior in the line, or at least the best since Shockwave. The only gimmick is the fastpacks and that's totally fine! Still small and a little hollow but that's all I expect anyways from this class.

Agreed. They could've released this as a Deluxe and I still would've bought it.

How do you find Gnaw, is he any good? He intrigues me. Is Drift in the same wave as this Jetfire?

I saw plenty of Drifts with Jetfire at Walmart a few nights ago, so they probably are in the same wave.

I have a quick question, Which of these spark armor wave figures offer best value for money on a low budget? (i can only afford one at a time this saturday, they're so expensive here)

Bumblebee/Sea Storm
Spark Armor Prowl
Jetfire/Tank Cannon

Not sure with Sky-Byte too much clashing yellow.

or Spark Armor Prowl ?
Jetfire/Tank Cannon (I've heard of loose limbs)

In my honest opinion, you’re gunna want Shockwave if you can find him. The armor isn’t obtrusive, and aside from head articulation, nothing was sacrificed. Honestly I feel it to be better than the Warrior class one (but both are about to get outclassed by the new Deluxe one).

even if hot pink/purple spider tank shockwave was great enough...he's not available. It's mostly wave 1 warriors and wave 1 elites (big ones)

Skybyte is the best of those simply because of the transformation. The others are rather laclluster, especiallly jetfire.

I would highly recommend Sky Byte and Ratchet. Those 2 are really good, and Sky Byte makes an awesome shark, and the drill tank is cool

It's a shame about Jetfire, I have him and yeah his figure itself is pretty eh but his tank is in my opinion the best of the ones I handled (I have him Shockwave and Sky Byte)

Looks like im going after one of the big figures on saturday in my Kids Cool'Shop (new Toys'R'us in Europe) .
That store has a lowered christmas gift price on the ultra class figures meaning they are cheaper than the smaller figures in the rival store. Sadly Sky-Bite was sold out or not in stock.

So either its either Spark Armor Jetwing Prime or Ocean Storm Bumblebee. (Not going for shopping online, i hate long shipping times in Europe) Not going after Megs so many design so flaws.

Which one

Optimus has a big hip skirt in robot mode and the gatling guns are rather hollow.
Bumblebee robot has arm kibble.
Both armors have restricted movement

as for Megatron, his mace is a eysore in helicopter mode and his tank form is just ugly.

Go for Optimus then, it has the best combined mode and the optimus figure is serviceable in both modes.

The smaller ones (skybyte, ratchet and shockwave) are still better toys though even though you may think you are getting less for your money.

he's kinda iffy with the obvious blue spot head in truck mode and his feet end up really fat. Does anyone know which one has a better full range similar to this type of movement?

Picked up spark armor bee. Looks like the rival store next to KidsCoolShop had a very 18% unexpected Tax Free weekend giving me minute a 4400 ISKR deal compared to 4999. So happy i did a last minute check

And the elbows on Ocean Storm elbows are more tight than i thought. But good grief positioning Bees hips and legs to be aligned evenly for standing straight instead of leening to the side is just so!!! But i know he needs that stiffness beacause of the armor weight.
Still very very good toy and better than my Warrior Class Sting Shot Bumblebee. (Gosh that one and his shoulder kibble is messy from the rear side.)

Overall 7 out of 10. Good paint applications on the ship and fun armor. Bumblebee kinda has a impression of being shocked that someone stabbed.
This upgrade is undoubtedly a good but expensive purchase in the my Cyberverse collection compared to Warrior Sting Shot Bee
