[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences.

Announced in time for [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. Starting in [[2019]], the toyline entered major new [[subline imprint]], "Power of the Spark," reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While the "Action Attack" line continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" line-wide gimmick was created, involving vehicles that come with the toys that can break apart into armor. Updates still continued to flood in, with the line getting a second, more ''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]''-esque line of figures featuring [[show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure.

The "Action Attack" line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'''s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. Whilst Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments with those names, beyond relative sizing.

The "Power of the Spark" subline imprint introduces two completely new price points that utilize the "Spark Armor" gimmick at varying sizes, namely the Battle Class and Elite Class, along with the large 12 inch Optimus Prime with "Ark Power".

==Toys==
===Action Attack===
;Scout Class
While a similar size to previous Scout assortments, these figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

;1-Step Changers
Initially, this assortment was essentially unchanged from previous toylines, even reusing ''Robots in Disguise'' molds for the entire first wave, but beginning with wave 3 (the first wave of 2019 product), the assortment introduced Action Attacks. These typically activate only in robot mode, but some (mostly those that fire projectiles) can also work in alt-mode.

;Warrior Class
''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, although they exhibit a greater willingness to forgo points of articulation which aren't required for transformation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode, although some figures can also activate their Attack in vehicle mode.

===Spark Armor===
;Battle Class
Added for the ''Power of the Spark'' rebranding, these figures are in-between the Warrior and Scout toys size-wise. Each one includes a drone-vehicle that disassembles to form power-up armor, connected via [[5 mm post|5 mm attachment points]].

;Elite Class
A slightly-upscaled version of the Battle Class figures, these Warrior-sized figures come with drone-vehicle/armors that transform "normally" into add-on armor, rather than splitting into multiple pieces.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

===Deluxe Class===
Traditional Deluxe Class figures were made at the same MSRP as the concurrently ran ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege (toyline)|Siege]]'', aimed for older audiences and feature similar elements, including 5mm ports and effect parts. Each had a piece of [[Maccadam]] as a Build-A-Figure.

{{Note|Both Thundercracker and the Optimus Prime Battle Base Set were originally intended as Toys"R"Us exclusives, but due to the company's bankruptcy in the United States and several other countries in 2018, they were only released that way in markets that still ''have'' Toys"R"Us (which basically means Asia and Canada). In the United States, the Optimus Prime playset was instead available as a Walmart exclusive, while Thundercracker didn't show up until 2019, at a chain named Go! Calendars and later at Tuesday Morning.}}

==Notes==
*Like with previous lines, Hasbro used character-specific code names for the toys.
:*For the 2018 releases, the theme was "''{{w|Seinfeld}}'' characters":
{{collist|3|
:::*Acid Storm: "Uncle Leo"
:::*Blurr: "Morty"
:::*Bumblebee: "Costanza"
:::*Grimlock: "Puddy"
:::*Megatron: "Newman"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Peterman"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Susie"
:::*Shockwave: "Kramer"
:::*Slipstream: "Estelle"
:::*Soundwave: "Kruger"
:::*Starscream: "Bania"
:::*Windblade: "Elaine"
}}

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'' packaging were all given new UPC barcodes.
