Thanks to 2005 Boards member Nemesis Scourge and Jtprime17 for sharing in our boards new Transformers Cyberverse Battle Call Optimus Prime & Bumblebee Amazon listings.
These toys were revealed while back in February together with other characters from the Cyberverse cartoon. The figures are around 10 inches tall and convert from car to robot mode in easy 10 steps. They feature voice-activated phrases, lights and sounds and the “Energon Armor” gimmick seen in other Cyberverse toys.
There are listings from:
Amazon.de
https://www.amazon.de/dp/B083VLM948

And, Amazon.uk
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083VLM948
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B083VLVC18
The Amazon.de listings indicate that both toys are scheduled for release in August 10, 2020.
Update: Thanks to Jtprime17 for sharing a listing on Abgee with stock images of Meteorfire and Wildwheel.
Check out the mirrored images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Oh ok so similar to Armada Wheeljack where he keeps the Autobot insignia as a reminder of his ex-comrades who supposedly abandoned him.

While it's a little odd to have an Decepticon figure with an unhindered Autobot insignia it is technically show-accurate as, even after defecting, Wildwheel never changed his insignia (or at least, I assume he didn't. I don't think he ever took off his poncho again).

Wild Wheel is dope. Loved Wheeljack from Armada so its cool to see another fallen Autobot type.

Ah right sweet. Missed series 3 as it was showing on a channel I dont have and cant watch on youtube as its region locked :/
Thanks though.

Really looking forward for that meteorfire and wildwheel but i really hope this isnt another rotf devastator where they keep talking and talking over and over
Meteorfire reminds me of rid stormshot

I wanna support new characters, but not if the figures are trash. I may go for Warrior Hammerbyte, Deluxe Thunderhowl, Ultra Rack N' Ruin and Clobber, but I'll probably skip these guys unless reviews surprise me.
Roadblock1977
My sentiments exactly.

So is wildwheel a bot or a con cause his chest says one thing and the box says another.
Its a shame his alt mode is so rubbish considering the great concept for a character. Meteorfire suffers the same way except his alt mode is great just poorly executed in toy form
Pravus Prime
I kind of want the little Bumblebee to act as a secret agent of Unicron.
I don't think I've ever seen that Soundwave helmet on Optimus before either. I'm still not sure I'm clear on the gimmick concept, or how well it works, as I see the mention of voice activation. However, the price is going to keep me away and I suspect a lot of others. $50 and $25 are pretty expensive pricepoints for what they are, so I'll be waiting for those inevitable sales.

No prices yet, I see. But given the prices that go with the energon armor ones, I expect these will be super expensive too. I\'ll likely wait for half a year until every shop just discounts them, they are already doing that with older Cyberverse stuff. These at least are pretty articulated enough, even if it does seem their heads do not rotate.

I'm so starved for new characters, I'll probably pick up Meteorfire and Wildwheel to add to my armies -even if the engineering on these guys isn't up to par.

The packaging costs more than the toy to produce.
Hasbro just can't stop putting voice chips and speakers in $5 toys and charging $50 for them.
The voice chip is $.15 and the speaker is $.25 max.
Pricing is so absurd. I needed to buy mini superglue tubes to send out with a repair kit for a product. The best price I could get for a wholesale price per tube in the USA was $.62. I found a Chinese seller that sold me 200 mini tubes for $15 including shipping from China. If I paid $15 for 200 tubes, how much did the US distributor pay for buying thousands?
When you buy a piece of crap like these toys, all you are paying for is expanded margin. Not quality.
T-Hybrid
Wildwheel is a great concept in bot mode cursed with a bland alt-mode. The upside, I guess, is that alt and those accessories seem like a setup to come over to Generations using the Siege Chromia mold.
So I'll make that trade, and hopefully he draws enough attention they develop a more unique alt. He seems the type who'd turn in to a motorcycle or horse. Like, seriously, give this guy a horse alt yesterday.

whew…

Oh ok, I misread the article then.
I still want Wildwheel and Meteorfire though.
Although since
and it looks like the final figure will have an Autobot logo I will need a Decepticon sticker for it.
Nope
I think only the big Optimus and Bumblebee are that tall. The smaller Trooper class guys like Wildwheel look to be about the same size as Ultra class.

@Black Convoy sorry I forgot to add the pics for officer Bumblebee. Here it is.

Why is Optimus wearing a Soundwave mask?
