Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg1999 has a review for a toy many fans are interested in, Cyberverse Spark Armour Cheetor. There are many Cheetor fans out there and this is the first transforming Cheetor from Hasbro in over 10 years. Plus, while the toyline has been panned by fans for it's reliance on gimmicks, the spark armour base figures have all been rather traditional by comparison. While this item does have a listing on Amazon, it is currently only available at Target.

Cheetor is a beloved character from Beast Wars so I'm sure there are quite a few people happy to see it included in the Cyberverse line. The figure is pretty good since the gimmick is contained in the Battleship. Combined Cheetor is still fairly articulated and fun to play with. Definitely worth the pick-up.

The battleship armor is definitely where the heavier plastic went. and it's not too bad either. I like the new helmet with it.
So overall, not too bad for my first cyberverse figure. He's neat! A nice little trial run. Might grab a few of the smaller armor ones and Grimlock i think, this part of the line is interesting enough to warrant a look and see

The main figure is a bit light, but he's got the necessary articulation, and the modes aren't too bad either. i feel like this one as a standalone would work fairly well on the Prime/RiD shelf, he has that same aesthetic in toy form.

I really dug the heft. Been awhile since I handled a figure with some mass.

G Gundam doesn't disappoint I've often thought it was underrated (a bit like the Cyberverse cartoon)

It gives me the same vibe of why I love Mega Man villains.

While gundam as a whole has phenomenal designs, G Gundam in particular has a lot of off the wall designs, Google what Neo Americas entry looked like (and Neo Canada for that matter)
I can't wait to get some of these spark armours, should be free to get some in the next few weeks.

Function: Guardian of the Allspark
"Cheetor is the Allspark's mysterious guardian. Like, majorly mysterious. No one knows the source of his enormous strength and catlike form? Anyway, turns out being cloaked in mystery makes you very difficult to defeat, and even more difficult to buy presents for. Thankfully he uses his powers to defend the side of good against those nasty Decepti-creeps."
-Bumblebee
Function: Mighty Air Guardian
"Everyone thought Jetfire exploded in a plume of jet smoke while battling his nemesis, Sky-Byte. Luckily for the Autobots he lived to fight (and fight, and fight) another day. He never gives up, and he never gives in. Just don't get in his way when he's in the middle of combat. He has a habit of destroying everything in his path to clinch a win."
-Bumblebee
Function: Harbinger of Doom
"Part ferocious fighter, part freaky metal shark-jet with lasers, Sky-Byte is Megatron's first choice for missions that border on the impossible. He's fast, tough, and bursting at the seams with enough firepower to handle any situation. No matter where you are, if Sky-Byte is on your tail, there's no safe place to hide."
-Bumblebee

Can't say that Cyberverse isn't at least trying something new with these guys.

Or better yet, say his team landed in the very heart of Africa in a location far away from any technology or civilization, and had no choice but to scan animals instead of vehicles/metal objects since there were none available to scan.ZeroWolf wrote:Hard to say, in some regards all you'd have to do is say that his team landed on another planet and were forced to take on organic alt modes, ala the original beast wars premise.

One odd bio tidbit:
Anyway, turns out being cloaked in mystery makes you very difficult to defeat, and even more difficult to buy presents for.
...makes me wonder if someone just gave him that battleship for his 100,000,000th birthday.

Hey, cut him some slack, at least he got the size right. That's better than most people's relatives can manage.

Alpha Trion is pretty great though, he looks great with Siege figures, but the flaps that hang between his knees are very loose and readily fall off. Keep an those when you're buying, there isn't much keeping them in the open box! If you look at the stock photos you can see the one on the right (his left) is falling off.

But this isn't the thread for that. Why would you even post that in this thread? It has no business being in here and doesn't contribute to anything about the Cyberverse toyline.

I don't even see any posts about masterpieces on the siege thread and that's after searching on the most recent 10 pages from 470 to the most recent page of 480.
Unless you thought Jefire was a masterpiece then your actually wrong about that part.
Your post was like in the here and now so if it's an old post then there's no point in going all the way back.

I’m pretty sure it’s the mask/helmet part of it, but the tank armor on Sideswipe is giving me some old Bionicle vibes. Which is very cool in my book.

This cross compatibility will not make this any easier, dang it!
Now wondering how well these figures would fit in with a RID 2015 collection.

Well, that's the first time I've seen that happen.
