Thanks to 2005 Boards member Daimao for giving us the heads up of his sighting of the new Transformers Cyberverse Wave 8 Warrior Class Optimus Prime at US retail.
This is a new mold which features a “Mega Axe Attack” gimmick and transforms into a Cybertronian truck with a bulkier robot mode compared to other Cyberverse Warrior toys. This figure was found at Target in Newport News Virginia.
Happy hunting!

Note: In the show the robot mode was never changed:

I bet you'll be able to find one no problem. The Hasbro Toy Shop Ebay store has it as well. Transformers Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures Megatron Action Figure,5.4" 630509888443 | eBay

i'll have to take a look at Target more carefully next time! Everything in this line all sort of blurs together…

They actually did do a Megatron. Came out around the first of the year. Has the Cybertronian Mode sticker. View attachment 28699615

I was wondering if there were any more cybertronian-mode characters coming…
picked up Starscream (he's sitting inside his packaging bubble in order to fit) and BB many weeks back but figured Optimus was done a long time ago…I suppose Megatron might be another one that might get done, but his alt-modes already are pretty extraterrestrial-looking and I would rather see someone else…

Dang, Virginia’s been getting lucky recently. First the Wave 2 Battlemasters, then Doubledealer, now this. All within the span of a few days.

That's disappointing. Especially with so many characters that could use a decent Warrior class release- Perceptor, Kup, etc.

If I recall correctly only a Shockwave re-release.

Newport News, eh? Lock your car.
BB Shockwave
Huh, Prime without a faceplate? What does he turn into?

Wasn't there someone new in this assortment too?
Rookbartley
That’ll definitely be front paged. Great find!

Is this guy new? I don't get much Cyberverse but I don't recall seeing this before. I saw him at a Target in Newport News VA while grabbing a Slitherfang.View attachment 28698967
