I'm used to it taking about that long to get a physical copy. When did it start getting so quick?
There was an agreement that the Theater owners had with the major studios that gave the theaters X amount of days to show the movies before being released to Home media, Cable, Pay Per view, etc. During the Pandemic, the Theater owners were squeezed into agreeing to a shorter amount of time so the Studios could profit more. Which to be honest, didn't really hurt the Theaters as most of their films stop selling tickets way before the new shorter time frame.
I am a little bummed as I have that UHD steelbook pre-ordered.
Exactly this. My fear is that this practice will eventually hurt the availability of legitimate physical copies. I never want to depend entirely on any streaming service for what I watch.
Exactly my issue with this policy too. Buy it for full price for you to stream it as long as it is on our servers, or that your Internet doesn't go out. My ISP is so unreliable that my internet goes out for hours at a time at least once a week. I do like the ease of a digital library but not at the cost of a physical one for movies I want to watch repeatedly. With this 90 day wait from streaming to physical, its clearly designed to get people to buy the digital copy that they make a boatload more money on than the physical disc that they have to manufacture, package, ship, and sell to a third party at wholesale to sell. Now, Vudu, itunes, and google just get their cut and the rest is profit.
More images of the “Ultimate” Optimus Primal toy. Not the animatronic, but the upsized Core Voyager with peg support, extra articulation and fold out weapons. I still see people demeaning this compared to the fiddly mess that the Studio Series Leader is apt to be. I’m a little sad this didn’t get a real domestic release, I could easily see this selling in the $40-45 range. Also, comparison shots with the Core Voyager and Battlemaster iterations of Primal, and a wacky Tomy stop motion add for it

Official images are being spread of Beast Combiner Optimus Prime, Weaponizer Arcee, and Beast Changer Scourge. It seems Hasbro is spreading out its last releases for the Rise of the Beast kids line. But, sadly, barring any new announcements or leaks…it seems we’ve seen the extent of the Rise of the Beasts kids product line.
Which I find a bit sad, I think there is still some solid material to mine from the film for a few more releases. The Maximals (outside of the Battlemaster segment) have been really underutilized (just like the movie! HA!), along with the Terrorcons. I could easily see a simplified Freezor in the Battlemaster segment, or as a pack in with a Weaponizer Battletrap. Nightbird and Optimus PrimAl’s sword weapons would be easily integrated into Beast Changers. Mirage is noticeably absent in the Weaponizer and Combiner assortments.
My hope remains that the Transformers One product line shares enough design elements and features to ‘blend” with this line. Despite the many flaws (lack of deco, some compromised designs due to feature requirements), I generally like what Hasbro did here, especially with the Core assortments, the Battlemasters, and the Weaponizers.

I watched the movie on demand tonight. It's a very good movie. The plot is coherent, the camera work in the fight scenes is comprehensible, the characters are genuinely likeable, the jokes are funny and not horrendously racist, and there's no scenes where a grown-ass man says it's okay for him to bang a teenager.
Any critic who genuinely thinks the Bay "movies" are better than this movie is a goddamn hack.

I'm hesitant to call this one better than the first one, but its certainly head-and-shoulders more watchable than the other four.
Bumblebee, though, still has all the other films beat.
I read this happened but have no clue if this vid is legit though, originally the film ended with Mirage dead for real (and I could kick myself for not seeing that) and having Optimus lost in space with Unicron.
I think a sequel should have Megatron return maybe as a anti hero opposed to the Decepticons and trying to rally the Autobots against Unicron.

I thought I'd like this more than I do now, but I guess I'll wait for whatever fiddly mess the Leader turns out to be. This is just too oddly... smooth? to the eye, and I like how the proportions shake out on the upcoming Leader.
I do wonder what the size of the Studio Series Leader will be relative to this, as this seems a bit big.
The stop-motion promos Takara Tomy did for the ROTB line are up there on the list of best things about all this.
The Weaponizer Arcee is interesting, but accomplishes everything by basically wearing the bike bits as a backpack (gonna be unwieldy on a shelf)... makes me appreciate the Core figure a bit more. But it DOES look good enough to get, although I'll likely end up repurposing it as someone else. (I long for the days of everyone getting a different-character "offscreen" redeco.) Certainly one of the better Weaponizers. It helps that I don't have the Cheetor yet.
I'd love to get the Scorponok Weaponizer at some point (it's a Buzzworthy release in the US, right?).
I do wish they'd give Nightbird another go, if only to drop the weird brown plastic and give her more of those awesome metallic pink-purple highlights. As it is, I'd love to get the toy, but I'm on the fence wondering about that redeco possibility or the potential for another release (in Studio Series or as a Weaponizer etc).
Shame the line seems to be winding down already. Really makes you miss the days of subline imprints. I agree that there was a lot of fun to be had here, as leaning into different "beasts as weapons" executions at different price points created a lot of neat design play opportunities. Makes sense they'd scale up the line from what Bumblebee had (even given both films had Studio Series in the background), being more confident than then about the live-action movies at retail. I dug everything except for the Flex Changers, but I like that they're continuing to experiment.

That leader could always be released over here as Apelinq. I mean, throw in some arm blades and *any* Primal could be used as Apelinq.
I think that was my biggest pop in the movie. "Live action Apelinq? Heck yes"
I'm still waiting for some wacky colored repaints. These molds gotta shine.

Yeah, it's legit. Both of those dropped plot points have been brought up in other reports on changes made to the movie.
Oh, absolutely. This is what I'm most excited for. (Whether it gets done remains to be seen.)
