Thanks to 2005 Boards member Nevermore we can share new stock images of the upcoming Transformers Cyberverse 1-Step Changers Cybertronian Ratchet & Megatron and Ultimate Iaconus.
The new images surfaced via Walmart listings. We have two new 1-Step changers figures: Cybertronian Ratchet and Cybertronian Megatron. The images show packaging and both modes.
To top it all we have new promotional images of Ultimate class Iaconus. We can see the robot mode, the “Energon Armor” gimmick and a look at his alt mode.
Check out the mirrored images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Oddly fitting….
RussianSentaiFan
Looks like an unused Zeon Mobile Armor…

The one in picture is not the armor I am talking about. It is just an example of early MA weirdness.

Looks like part city part tank part space ship. It would have worked better if they just had him transform in to the bar.
RussianSentaiFan
At first we should decide where is the back…
captain N
If he transformes in to a city. Then why are there Rockets or jets on the back of city mode. Is he a flying city?

Because Drift expected a giant car…. I mean, Hasbro is getting too lazy with unorthodox alt-modes in their kids' lines. For ex. ALMOST EVERYONE IN RID WAS A CAR!!!!!!
So, if we have a Titan who was at least implied to have a spaceship alt-mode (he traveled between planets), Hasbro gives him one. But because Hasbro is lazy, they just take Ultimate Shockwave and remold him a bit (or at least reuse the transformation and overall build). I mean transformation is the same as Shockwave's, the shield attaches in ship (?) mode the same as Shockwave's gun does. Just we can't make a proper figure for a prominent titan. The sword and shield are undersized, the legs are immobile (the first Ultimates had much more articulation/ aesthetic pleasure in them. The first Ultimate Prime even had KNEES!)…
And Iaconus has …… FAUX KIBBLE FOR A MODE THE FIGURE DOESN'T HAVE!!!!!!
Guys, I had a horrible nightmare…. i was climbing mountains and then went to a dollar store to get some water, but I couldn't because when I took a water bottle, I had an Iaconus in my grasp… And no matter what I tried to buy, I ended up with an Iaconus in my hand……

Anyone explain to me why iaconus are not as city mode, as vehicle mode?
RussianSentaiFan
Not the worst, if you remember the thing we all hated ……. MGHAS (Magical Girl Horror Adult Story)…… You kinda guess what am I talking about……

This is my first post ever here. Been a TF Fan/collector since G1 back…..and this is literally the worst Transformer toy I’ve ever seen. I laughed for 5 minutes straight just looking at it.
This is the toy equivalent of the ‘Cats’ movie. Hasbro, you should be ashamed!

Quite likely. Also, why do I see RX-78-2 chestplate (central protrusion + vents) ib his energon armor?
WishfulThinking
I honestly think he was designed with the legs as the front of the ship mode but something was lost in the translation between the design team and the marketing team.
bearytrek
Gotta win the award for 'we think we can convince consumers he actually transforms into something'
quite possibly the most abstract alt-mode since the ones made up for various Bay-verse characters that never transformed…
RussianSentaiFan
Why do I see a 0079 Gundam chestplate on Iaconus' armor?
Also, the armor is engineered better than I thoght. It hides in the back instead of hanging around the @$$.
Well, I respect the reviewer for not raging.
And about making a decent city mode: do you remember Sirenbuilder/Flashpoint Megazord?
Just give this guy a similiar transformation of legs. Look: the shoulders lower, the legs collapse that way, and maybe you should be able to swing some A.I.R. Lock ramps from the shins…

So "Ultimate Ionocus", with a presumably ultimate retail price, transforms into… A crappy fan mode?
The alt-mode is what a 7 yr old does with EVERY TF.
captain N
There's a review on here that shows you everything about him.
Kamphaer
I'm guessing he's so hollow in the back you can store the rest of your Cyberverse in there?
Ezilla82
I bet when emgo reviews Iaconus is when he tries to say the name he'll say "Iacon" pause a bit and say "us" just like he done for Megatronus awhile back or not, but it would be funny though.

laserbeak's vtol mode was actually based on something.

ROTF Fallen and Ravage, totally agree. DOTM Laserbeak I actually thought had a decent VTOL mode.
