Toys

Generations

  • Computron (Giftset, 2016)
Available only as a part of the Combiner Wars Computron Collection Pack, Cybaxx is a redeco of Thrilling 30 Payload who transforms into both a modified X-37B space shuttle[1] and a 5mm double-barreled blaster that can be wielded by his larger partner Scrounge or any of the other Technobots in the set.
This mold was also redecoed into Lost Age Astrotrain and Timelines Spacewarp.

Notes

  • Cybaxx's status as a separate character is… questionable. While he is referred to by name in the Computron set's instructions, an official product description for the set used by numerous online retailers exists in three versions: While otherwise identical, one version refers to a "Cybaxx mini space shuttle figure"[2], whereas another version doesn't acknowledge the figure at all, instead listing a "Scrounge mini-UFO figure" in its place.[3] A third, interim (and nonsenical) version exists as well, referring to a "Cybaxx mini-UFO figure".[4] An official Hasbro designer desk video further adds to the confusion, with Hasbro designer John Warden explicitly referring to the "Cybaxx" figure as Scrounge's "special arm".[5]
