Twitter user @cheetimus surprised us with an image of a new Transformers Cyberverse 1-Step Changer Repugnus.
The images included in the tweet show the front and back packaging of a new Repugnus mold in his monster mode, sculpted in the Cyberverse style and design. This figure was spotted at Target in the US.
We had previously seen only a small picture of Repugnus gray prototype while back in October, 2019.

People tend to sleep on the one steps. Don’t sleep on this one. Glad you have it and are enjoying it.

Repugnus is seriously the best one-stepper ever made. I saw him at the grocery store and grabbed for my son, who loves him. Both modes are great and even the gimmick is pretty decent.

I'm disappointed in the G1 inclusion. I think Cyberverse is doing badly; so badly that Hasbro allows more G1. Maybe from the beginning of the show (haven't had a chance to see it yet, sorry!).
Either way, TF sales are officially down (per Hasbro's last earnings call), and I'm reasonably concerned for Cyberverse. Repugnus should get more love; I just hate these spring-y 1-step toys!

Got him a week ago at Target, he's neat.

Why would it be both? The show's roster of characters in the season include brand new ones, so clearly not all of their choices are based on nostalgia. Specially not for Repugnus, who is not exactly an A or B or C-lister.

Why can't it be both?
For example, if my goal was to convince Hasbro to include Repugnus, I'd start with:
"And you know, older fans will appreciate the obscure G1 character… They might watch the show with their kids… "
It's a very cute toy, but I decided to stick to my guns when I saw it: don't encourage Hasbro to make 1-step junk! Kids are not buying these Cyberverse toys; it's adults who are desperate for a decent Repugnus release! For example, if some fan YouTubed a way to rig a sparker in that 1-step? He'd sell out instantly.

Found Puggers today. $10 is simply too much for these toys, but I'll let it slide in this instance as this is probably the only one step I'll ever buy.
Hasbro just read that and immediately started designing a one step Rewind. :3

Found him!

So THIS is how they get me to buy a one-step changer. Well played, Hasbro.
That chibi bugmonster is amazing.
