Cyberverse »

The Transformers: Cyberverse toyline continues the trend set by Robots in Disguise of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences.

Announced in time for Toy Fair 2018, Cyberverse brings with it the line-wide "Action Attack" gimmick, with every figure including a unique mechanical function.

The line also reintroduces a near-consistent size class naming system, following Robots in Disguise' 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 pricepoints with those names, beyond relative sizing.

Toys

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.
