    Yaaaaay

    Thank you for this. I hope the Constructicons thing is true because they haven't appeared since Animated back in 2009. Been a decade, bring 'em in!

    Darn, no Unicron Trilogy representation. Jk. Good to hear the Constructicons might show up. Wonder how they will be transferred to toys in the Cyberverse toyline?

    Way back before season one, one writer (I forget which one) tweet out multiple pictures of figures toys in their collection. These were: Devastator, Jetfire, Skybite, Barricade, and Percepter.

    Jetfire and Skybyte have toys coming
    Percepter has made a Cameo so far
    Devastator has now been teased
    Barricade only has an Evergreen design

    Transformers Cyberverse, the toy line that doesn't sell & goes straight to clearance.

    Counterpoint; RiD's toyline which was decent and mainly hated on for not being a 'proper' toyline.

    I can guarantee that as a kid I would adore the CV toys

    So it seems that Hasbro was reluctant to include a Beast Wars character? What do they have against the beast era?

    Soooo there's a chance for UT love? Signal Lancer maybe since we're liking obscure characters?

    Please?

    I don't know, but someone needs to get a clear answer out of Warden about it. This very much comes off as someone not liking how none of the G1 characters are present, despite how popular many of the characters are.

    Then again it might also be disliking it on principle of not being Autobots v Decepticons

    I like that all the creators have a somewhat diverse preference of their favorite iterations of Transformers. It’d be depressing if they all only said G1.

    If they want more female characters... I want Override. We already have Velocitron.

    That could very well be it. Maximals and Predacons aren't as well known as Autobots and Decepticons anymore.

    I just want to know exactly what they mean by multiversal? Are we talking Transtech-type multiversal or fishing for ideas and concepts from every universal stream?

    I believe they meant your second point. Cyberverse will have characters pulled from many continuities but will be inside the Cyberverse continuity instead of like parallel dimensions kind of thing.

    A good idea for them would just to deep dive TFWiki and look for obscure things they can make their own.

    ... I'd love more Nacelle and Bitstream still.

    I’d kill for an episode where we see the lost light just jump to the next universe in the background. They established they’re universe hopping. Anything relating to the multiverse gets my thumb up tbh. We’ve never had a show actually reference there being other universes

    best news ive heard all day

    "multiversal show" i know it means a bunch of stuff as pointed out by those above me, and what they have said sounds great to me! But what i take away from this (what i'm choosing to take away from this and hoping ill be correct) is that this could be the first steps back towards what used to be considered the norm before aligned fucked with everything. That being the overall TF multiverse potentially getting some spotlight in the future again what with the aligned crap being done away with. Cyberverse picking and choosing from the vast history of TF brand to re-introduce concepts and characters back into the mainstream.

    And the Constructicons! Love it! here's hoping some other special teams make appearances too.
    Now the question is, while obviously the Constructicons would be mostly G1, I wonder if they would twist things up by throwing in concepts from other various Constructicons over the years and mash em all together into something new.

    It is amazing that this show being "Multiversal" and all, plenty of potential to add characters and elements from older franchises. If they play their cards right, it might lead to some pretty interesting stuff. I mean, Beast Wars characters are one step, and RID's own Sky-byte is also in this, more stuff would be great, especially if they include bots like the Spychangers, Wasp/Waspinator, maybe perhaps some Unicron Trilogy guys.

    Also, if Cyberverse Devastator or any of the Scramble City/Special teams get toys... i hope they use Combiner Wars ports. That could be their main gimmick, their articulation would also include some ball jointed elbows and perhaps basic leg articulation (They need to at least bend their knees and have ball jointed thighs.). But they need waist articulation. And perhaps Devastator should have elements from their Superlink/Energon counterparts.

    Might i suggest a direct one to one transcription or an overview highlight summation. The way this is laid out is difficult to read. This reads almost like it was google translated.

    Wreck and Ruin and the Constructicons. That isn't very impressive.
    But it seems Hasbro gave them a really hard time over Cheetor.
    Hasbro really seem like they want to make Transformers really boring these days.
