Monopoly, featuring... Beast Wars?!

Popcultcha.com has listed a new upcoming spin on the classic game ($89.99, AUD presumably):

Reminds me of the Beast Wars card game. Surprised to see something like this now rather than 25 years ago.

Hm, I wonder if transforming will be a gameplay element, since there's robot and beast modes of each token? There's a lot of spaces that look like they force a transformation, maybe if you land somewhere or draw a card when in the wrong mode, you go to Jail (CR chamber).

I hope so. I haven't played monopoly in years but this will do.

Looks like it, which would be good, hopefully there's something to change up the actual gameplay beyond just a simple reskin.

Disappointing they didn't change up the corner spaces (Go, Jail, Free Parking, Go to Jail) to something more thematically appropriate.

This is interesting for the artwork alone. The concept seems like something they pulled out of a time capsule rather than something they came up with today, and it seems designed to look like it.

The corner spaces might be part of the Trademark, so they can't change 'em.
