Yes, really.

But I agree, 5mm weapons sold as cheap bundles in blind boxes (that last part begrudgingly, from the guy who was at one point stuck with 3 Blokees vehicles he didn't want or need) would work. Make them only sorta blind, like Botbots or even the Fortnite weapons crates that had codes, and they'd be a great impulse buy to arm Cyberworld stuff and, even better, decades worth of toys.
I agree that packing weapons and such with each character makes perfect sense for this line and story. They could do something like what Spin Master's 4 inch DC stuff does, with iirc blind-packed extra weapons with each figure.
This clearly hasn't been how they've launchrd, but I wonder if we'll see Bunch Of Accessories as a pack-in thing later on. Optimus Prime refresh or redeco with a crate of 3-5 weapons, and so on. Maybe at the Armored Cyber Changers price point. Or a battle pack with two figures and a bigger handful of weapons between them. Hasbro seems to tend to prefer that approach rather than selling the accessory kit by itself, at least over the last couple of decades.

Hasbro: "...What is this 'Cyberworld' you speak of?"@Hasbro are you listening? Do this. Generations can't have all the fun with accessory sets. Cyberworld was made for it.
This. 100x this. SpinMaster's DC weapons pack in were a highlight of the line, and it can't be that costly to replicate it with CyberWorld.I agree that packing weapons and such with each character makes perfect sense for this line and story.

Twenty minutes?The drip-feeding of backstory is also surprisingly not annoying for how long it's been going on;

Just for context:Hasbro's done it with Star Wars. They used to throw in a cheap cardboard box containing an absolute pile of extra weapons.
Everything about Beast Machines was annoying. This is such a better show.
I tend to find the "um actually Beast Machines was good..." backlash against the initial backlash kinda circular at this point. Like yes, when I rewatched it in my 20s I enjoyed it a great deal more then when I was 12.... but at the same time 12 year old me was in the target demo and failed to land.I’d argue Beast Machines still had the overall better toys and better voice cast, but…![]()
Yeah, but you could probably get 2-3 simple plastic accessories out of the plastic used for that build-a-figure piece.Just for context:
Spinmaster has pared the accessories down to 2 for the 4” line, with the newer Batman Ninja line going for the “sprue weapons rack” gimmick of the old TMNT line to increase accessories while keeping costs down. The Superman movie figures, functionality, come with one accessory; a piece of a Superman Robot.
Oh, I’m quite aware of its flaws, both the show and toys. But I’ll also say that, for some reason, the toys’ weirdness really worked for me, though I certainly see why it didn’t for others.I tend to find the "um actually Beast Machines was good..." backlash against the initial backlash kinda circular at this point.

The toys are also... a mixed bag, to put it lightly. It's a run that doesn't deserve the hate it got, but it's also easy to understand why it landed with the thud it did. I used to belong to the group that thought BM was an under-appreciated gem, tragically unable to get audiences to see it's genius, but as I get further away from my 20-something "I am so very smart" self I've come around to re-notice the flaws in the whole
