Hey, a stealth Cars Crossover.
Some confirmations and details from today's Fan Stream:
Studio Series Voyager Rhinox confirmed.
Buzzworthy Studio Series RotB Voyager Optimus Prime confirmed. Stated that it started as a partial (retool) and apparently grew beyond that so...we'll see.

So, in typical Walmart fashion, many have said “screw that” to “street dates” and new movie toys are popping up everywhere. Reminder that the “official” release day is Monday, but YMMV with your local retailer(s).
Something I have noticed with images of the Voyager Core Optimus Primal: seems his plastic is very “light reactive”, in that the spotlight flashes we’ve seen, it has “washed out” the color of the toy. In “natural lighting”, his black and silver is far more distinctive, more like the Weaponizer version. Seems to be true of Prime as well.
That said, I would still have loved to see him sport that bronze instead of the silver. To hell with movie accuracy.

I’m not sure I’ll be buying much at launch because of that. It FEELS like there is some real “hype” around this product line, and my hope is that we got a solid slate of exclusives to come this year.
If nothing else, I’ve seen enough stuff get marked down after I paid full price to exercise a bit more patience.
We can only hope. These beast toys deserve color. A color. Any color.
Rumor: Details On Possible Rise Of The Beasts Ultimate Optimus Primal Toy
Those who watched Akiko Wada's commercial on Transformers: Beast Awakening (Transformers: Rise of the Beasts) may have noticed that our famous Japanese pop artist transforms into a gigantic toy Optimus Primal. The toy does not match any known versions of ROTB Primals seen or known so far...
news.tfw2005.com
So, according to information gained from Silver Optimus, Akiko Wada’s “toy mode” is based on an unseen “Ultimate Optimus Primal” toy, possibly from the Beast Alliance segment.
If Hasbro is still using similar naming monikers as they have been…this could be something akin to the Cyberverse Ultimate Class, which were typically 10-12” figures with some sort of action feature. Notable is that the images show the hands are completely different in design:
Right hand has a simple hinge for opening the palm, while the left is larger with an extra hinge. Both hinges on the left have a full pin. Not to mention the ass of kibble visible.
Makes me think the gimmick could be some sort of “power grab” feature with the hand.
If pricing is comparable to prior trends, this figure could retail for $35-ish, which would place it in a sweet spot between the $20 BA Combiners and the Beast Mode Bumblebee at $50.
Same vibe. Plus there's just too much coming out at once, and prices have remained high enough to keep it prohibitive.
New toys coming out.
Meanwhile, in Japan, the Japanese entertainment site, Cinema Today, has publised news of the "Transformers: Beast Awakening" (Aka: - "Rise Of The Beasts") film exclusive.
Customers who pre-order tickets for Beast Awakening on the 19th of May, will receive an limited edition bonus 'transforming' (possibly lenticular) acrylic stand featuring Optimus Primal.

I guess wave 2 stuff got leaked a little early. I’m expecting the second wave of stuff to be put on order tonight, with first wave stuff going “for sale” from the online guys.
That Optimus with a lion head (matrix?) bursting out is certainly... something.
More love and respect for the main site's links.

Rise of the Beasts Toy Leaks Roundup

Silly question, but wasn't yesterday supposed to be the street date for the RotB toys? I ask because I visited a couple stores yesterday, and they had nothing related to the new film.
That is just a weird toy to me. Like what is going to happen in the film? Is prime going to go Beast Mode and turn into Lio Convoy?
