    my dude, you do realize that Cyberverse is the first show to ever show Rack 'n' Ruin in any on screen capacity?
    I'd say that's fairly impressive, especially considering they're rather obscure characters, even if you know who the wreckers are

    Sounds great, seems these guys understand what TF as a franchise is about. Like the multiversal explanation.
    And LOL on GRimmy being inspired by Inigo Montoya! "Me name is Grimlock. You kill me Dinobots. Prepare to die."
    Rack'N Ruin and Maccadam alone proves these guys know the Marvel UK stuff. Wonder if we will see Impactor?

    If Maximals and Predacons not being well known is an issue for less Beast Wars, they could just call them Maximal Autobots or Predacon Decepitcons. I'd be willing to sacrifice the "uniqueness" of their faction since they're litetally just Autobots and Decepticons

    They are the last of the original Wreckers yet to get an updated toy. I figured something like this might happen, especially after the forthcoming release of Siege Impactor.

    The plan could be to introduce them to younger fans through Cyberverse, and eventually release a CHUG toy.

    I mean, Warden hates the Beast Era. He has for years now.

    I'm surprised to hear that the toys were designed before the character models. That makes sense for something like Combiner Wars (which had pretty solid toys), but Cyberverse's toys are known for being somewhat cheap and gimmicky. I really assumed they were more of an afterthought.

    Hasn't it been said that Beast characters don't tend to sell well? I could be wrong, but I recall hearing Hasbro say that in the past. If true, it would make sense why we see some Beast Wars characters in the masterpience line (aimed at fans), but not in the lines aimed at kids.

    Glad to hear that these guys are also fans of other TF series. Really helps this series being more a lover letter to the brand in general and not just G1.

    That being said hearing how Hasbro was difficult to convince to get Cheetor in Cyberverse is disheartening to hear because it means Cheetor wasn't Hasbro's attempt of getting people ready for a BW revival which then means we may not anything truly big for BW fans in 2021 like Warden said after all. I could be wrong for all I know like they possibly didn't want it to be too soon but still...:(

    Happy to hear the Constructicons might show up. I hope we get an insight into their personalities and maybe what it's like to be part of a Combiner team. I loved that with the Combaticons in TAAO and would like seeing the Constructicons fleshed out, too. Also hope for Combaticons and other combiner teams eventually.

    If they're doing Constructicons the toyline had better get combiners.

    I know RiD's weren't everyone's cup of tea, but as a way to introduce younger kids to combiners they're awesome.

    Pretty sure that’s just fan hyperbole and has never actually been said by hasbro. I’ve only ever heard it from people on this board

    Thank you very much for the feedback. It was my fault. Due to time constraints I had to clash two different writing styles. I'll take your feedback and will improve in the future. :)

    CW-Compatible Cyberverse Constructicons would be great. I fear they could instead be retools of Combiner Force combiners instead. But either of those would be a Devastator with swappable parts, and that's great.

    I heard they are coming out at the moment in Studio Series. They are pretty (in a insectoid, Bay Decepticon way), and will combine into the biggest gestalt toy released until now.
