Transformers: Rise of the Beasts

[Steevy Maximus]

Mistransformed or not…I’m not sure that completely absolves the weak robot mode. It almost feels like Hasbro did an Arcee in this price point to satisfy the crazy “scale die hards“, more than anything else.
I know there are listings for a number of additional Arcee figures, though I can’t recall if deluxe is among them. With the sheer number of product offerings, I feel comfortable in rolling the dice and seeing what ends up being released.

With what I’ve seen from the “Movie Deluxe” line and my experience from the Bumblebee movie line…I feel it is quite possible that we may get a more “attractive” (for lack of a better term) Arcee in another format that isn’t as bound to the “collector standards” of articulation and scale.
Though, that in and of itself might be enough for some to swear off those other expressions completely…

So what the heck is Freezer?

 

[ZacWilliam1]

Freezer is even colder box above Fridge.

-ZacWilliam, but that's not important right now...

Those "3 different weapon modes" must be atrocious if there aren't pics of any of them.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

-ZacWilliam "7 Alt-modes."

 

[Sabrblade]

A thought just crossed my mind. The filmmakers might have gone with the bad guys in this movie being Terrorcons instead of Predacons just so that the use of "Terrorize" could make sense with the name of those who use it, reflecting the synergy between "Maximal" and "Maximize" that was always missing between "Predacon" and "Terrorize".

 

[PrimalxConvoy]

Maybe 'Freezer' is an awkward reference to Freezon, the Tyco slot race car TF from G1 that had the same head design as Frumbly.

And you mean that the G1 Freezon had a head based upon G1 Frenzy/Rumble?

Doesn't that mean we could reappropriate either the (Prime?) or Binaltech Frenzy/Rumble into Freezon and/or her "brother"?

Articuno.

So what the heck is Freezer?

The thing you put food into in order to store it and it turns lquid into ice, then again, it might be the weapon Mister Freeze uses!

 

[Noideaforaname]

That's one down.

 

[Blot]

With Freezer, when do we see the purple, white & pink repaint? Wait, I'm getting my brands mixed up, aren't I?

That deco would certainly be Cooler at least.

Freezer is probably one of those generic soldiers we see near the end of the trailer (this scene is called Volcano Showdown according to the description for the SS backdrop).

Freezer had the codename "Delta1". There is another Core figure named "Delta2", which is probably going to also be the generic soldiers. I assume there's two types of generic soldiers: one with two arms and one with four/multiple arms. I'm guessing Freezer has a weapon mode because these generics don't transform at all in the film.

Here's the weapon mode on Freezer.

Yeah I know Freezer has a weapon mode, I'm just saying maybe the reason why is because he doesn't transform in the film.

Well, I doubt that toy will be transforming into profits for Hasbro any time soon...

I don't know. I don't mind picking up the occasional transformer with a nonsense alt mode as long as the robot mode is fun and the figure is cheap enough. Freezer here looks kind of like a mecha-kaiju from the Pacific Rim universe, so I could see myself getting him.

 

[Gizmoboy]

Freezer will be my 2007 Frenzy in my collection

 

[KuroKiiroBee]

Depending on how Freezer ends up in-hand, I might 3D print some tank treads for him, so I can turn that weapon mode into a mobile turret/howitzer thing.
