Allsparker Steevy Maximus shares that Collider.com has the exclusive lowdown on the next Transformers toyline, just in time for Toy Fair 2025.
Premiering this summer on YouTube as "an original YouTube series consisting of 36 five-minute shorts", Transformers: Cyberworld will see familiar Transformers characters like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Elita-1, and Megatron thrust into literal unfamiliar territory -- the titular Cyberworld. (Collider says "Coming off of last summer's Transformers: One, but it's not clear if this is in reference to those four character names or a hint at a continuation.) These video-game-like, mecha-inspired adventures and battles "pit friends and foes against each other in a constant fight to survive that may require putting trust in mortal enemies."
The toyline seems to reflect some of that intriguing, delightfully bonkers energy, with everything from a hefty, wildly neon-y Scorponok (the Scorponok Strike Battle Set, $59.99) to a bull-mode Megatron to a jet-mode Mirage to what seems to be the first dragon Galvatron since BW2 (er, not counting RID2001's redeco INTO Galvatron) to a Sky Byte on wheels to a... Junkion Dinobot?
Here's what Collider has to report about the different offerings:
Transformers Cyberworld hits shelves in July (Cyber Changers) and August (Scorponok Strike Battle Set).

Here's what Collider has to report about the different offerings:
[Scorponok] is made to fit with all the Cyber Changers figures. This large-scale toy doubles as a play set with battle stations, a chest cockpit, and a cyber bike for the bots to go to war with in either of its forms. Moreover, it's able to swiftly and simply transition between its forms, whether you need a heavily armed mega-bot that towers above the rest or a beefed-up tank built to plow through the battlefield. Completing the package are a handful of interactive features, including a buzzsaw, claw hand, a sharp tail that converts into a powerful blade, and unique lights and sounds for each mode. Such a well-armed toy is a bit more costly though, retailing for $59.99.
Chomp and Battle Grimlock: The usual leader of the Dinobots has been given a 9-inch figure for the Cyberworld line that has a four-step transformation between dino and robot mode and can be used as a mech suit or a ride for his Autobot allies. Also built to support all Cyber Changers figures, he comes with a spinning blaster arm and chomping dino arm in robot form and a chomping dino head and spinning blaster tail in dino form to help make him a formidable match for the Scorponok. Grimlock will be available for $29.99.
Cyber Changers and Ultimate Cyber Changers Megatron: Completing this new toy line are the Cyber Changers themselves, which all stand at four inches tall — save for the 7-inch Ultimate Cyber Changers Megatron with a rideable tank mode for other figures — and include eight total toys with simple two-to-four-step transformation sequences. while Megatron sells for $24.99, the armored Bumblebee and Galvatron figures go for $14.99, and the rest retail for $9.99.
