So, we know about Airachnid, and we know about Optimus Primal. Do we know what other characters are supposed to part of their respective assortments? Airachnid probably has 1 wave-mate and Primal likely has 3, right?

Not yet. As is, I’m suspecting Hasbro isn’t going to open orders for this stuff until next week, as Entertainment Earth has a number of days with Hasbro drops. From retail listings that have been dug up, Primal might ship with Lockdown, Cheetor and Jazz. Airrachnid might come with either Megatron or Ratchet (most likely).

But that assumes Hasbro does “full assortments” for the spring. They could easily take all that and split it out, given spring is typically a “low period” for toys. And they ARE doing some sort of refresh branding in fall called “Energon Surge”.

IGN dropping the deets on Season 2 of Cyberworld, dubbed “Energon Surge”. With key art, they also have first promo images of Power Spark Bumblebee, one of the line’s key items for the fall. Notable in the key art is an Optimus Prime with “Energized” chest and our first tease of Soundwave

Remind me, were we told before how many episodes Season 1 is supposed to get? August is quite a ways away for Season 2 to begin, but we're still in Season 1 with presently no sign of reaching the finale just yet.

Kinda surprised we're getting a season 2, to be honest, all things considered.

Good. It's still not obvious how this story is going to wrap up, and I'm not sure the rest of season 1 is enough time to do it well. I'm invested now. I want to see these characters make it home, but I don't want it to just happen in a blink because the show ran out of time.

Rather than a new episode today, we instead get a "Best of" compilation of scenes spotlighting Mirage:

Getting a lot of play for not even being in the regular toyline.

-ZacWilliam, he may be the one toy from the first group I've never seen at retail.

So I'm on mobile and not really in a position to post pics, but the "season 2" figures shown off at Toy Fair seem pretty substantial compared to "season 1"'s offerings. I still don't think they have elbows, but they do look like they're the result of a jump in budget.

Good. This show and line have been fun, and I want to see it succeed.

Just a general note:
Hasbro still has a wave of product for this spring, which includes Airrachnid and Optimus Primal. So there might be some figures coming soon that aren’t being shown because Hasbro is focusing on the fall refresh (and the fancy Energon armor gimmick). Listings also indicated a number of 2025 figures will be getting refreshed like we’re seeing Optimus Prime above (And the Armored Bumblebee refresh in the show room image).

I love dragon/dino Shockwave, and hentai Soundwave is oddly compelling.The Dark Energon Megatron really pops, even if I’m not an overt fan of how the translucent elements are being integrated line wide (too much of the same colors/break ups). I’m highly amused at Mirage seemingly being present on the showroom since he was an MIA Walmart exclusive last year. Maybe he’s getting rolled into the spring assortment?

Also, I think I might be a spyin’ a Pirate Scourge along the wall there…

Pirate Scourge is on the table, too. Chop Shop is riding him.

I was able to order Mirage on Walmarts website. Took a bit of a roundabout trip to get to me, but he arrived. Still seems to be available for shipping, for those who want him?

Is the green guy a new character? The token original character every series has?

If so, I welcome him.

I just recall there really didn’t seem to be many, if ANY, sightings of Mirage at an appreciable number of Walmart stores, despite being an exclusive like the Ultimate CyberChanger Megatron. For an exclusive of a show character, it seemed odd that his exposure has been so limited.


Shout out to Donocropolis for pointing in the direction in the News thread, but Ben Yee of BWTF.com has been uploading showroom images to his socials. Unlike many of the mainstream fan sites, he remembered that Hasbro does still design and sell stuff to kids. Images he’s taken have included excellent in package shots of Scourge (front and back) and Hentaiwave (just front). Scourge might be the MOST pirate of any pirate Transformer we have ever gotten. Also included are a couple shots that give a slightly better look at Armor Up Ratchet (as ZacWilliam observed, I glossed over him thinking it was a sample of the Cheetor redeco).

So far as cool as everything is for the next waves of this toyline, I'm content to pass on it all, especially the bigger items. I love these designs but I can't enjoy them as much if they just stand there without even any elbows or neck joints.

But that Scourge? Sweet damn, I will have that Cybertronian Frying Dutchman for my Star Raiders. The colors and clear plastic even give him a nice ghostly vibe. For once I wish one of these were bigger. The size of that Energon Surge Ginormous Whatever Bumblebee that needs a retool into Grandus stat.
