Cyberverse (toyline)
Cyberverse is the current encompassing name for the "micro play" play pattern starting with the Dark of the Moon. It replaces the Legends Class (the size class has been absorbed into Cyberverse under the new name "Legion Class") and, to a lesser extent, the Scout Class (replaced by the slightly smaller Cyberverse Commander Class). The Cyberverse toys are in something close to relative scale with each other (though there's still scale problems such as Bumblebee, a Chevrolet Camaro, and Starscream, an F-22 Raptor, being the same size). Cyberverse figures are designed to interact with various transforming battle vehicles and playsets, creating a unified "world" children (or childish adults) can collect. While most are brand new sculpts, some figures are retools/redecos of Legends Class releases from previous lines, but the vast majority are tooled to accommodate 3mm weapon pegs and/or C joints. The entire gimmick of a small, compatible toy line with transformable, connectible bases seems to call back to the old Micromaster play pattern.
The Cyberverse play pattern continued with Transformers: Prime toys. Its Japanese counterpart, just as with the Legion Class, is EZ Collection.

Series 2
The vast majority of "Series 2" was the Cyberverse portion of the Prime line, and was therefore co-branded "Transformers Prime" and "Cyberverse". An unusual exception were three figures from wave 2 of the Legion Class assortment, which represent characters from the live-action film franchise, and thus lack the "Prime" title branding on their North American packages despite still depicting Prime characters as part of a uniform packaging design (their European versions do sport the "Prime" title on their packaging, however).

Commander class figures all come with translucent weaponry, and feature some amount of translucent plastic in their bodies (blue for Autobots, but a variety of colors for Decepticons), a feature designed around interacting with the line's vehicles (see below). Each vehicle is equipped with an "Energon Booster", a light-up accessory that can plug into the Commanders' weapons or into the posts and ports on the figures' backs to illuminate them with glowing energon power.

Series 3
"Series 3" is (thus far) the Cyberverse portion of the Beast Hunters subline imprint of the Prime line, and is therefore co-branded "Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters" and "Cyberverse", although the latter logo only appears on the back of the toys' packaging. The new gimmick for Commander Class figures and Vehicles is pressure-launched missiles. The light gimmick, meanwhile, has been completely dropped: All the weapons accessories (with the exception of Breakdown's) are cast in opaque plastic, the Commander Class figures don't feature any translucent plastic parts anymore either, and none of the Vehicles feature any electronics, even going so far as to retool redecos of Series 2 Vehicles to remove existing electronics.

Store exclusives
Redecos of various Beast Hunters Cyberverse Legion and Commander Class figures are going to be sold in Target exclusive multi-packs under the "Predacons Rising" banner. For some reason, all of them lack the "Cyberverse" logo on their packaging.
Notes
- The working name for this line was "Megaverse" (with the MechTech line originally having been "Cybertech"), which could be seen on receipts for Dark of the Moon toys purchased at retailers, in the name of some exclusives on retailer web sites, and on the shipping cases for the products themselves. The reason for the change is unknown.
