The only "leaks from reliable sources" we get these days are about toy reveals, not story content.
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
I don't think the marketing people even know what the movie is about.
And if it's going "back to Bay-sics", there probably won't be much in terms of legible plot or dialogue anyway.
That is fair. Your average Michael Bay movies all use the same script. I have a copy of it below:
In other words, stuff goes boom, giant robots run around or drive around and the story is a nonsenical plot
Core Voyager Optimus Prime and Rhinox have been spotted overseas!
news.tfw2005.com
Both seem to share engineering with prior releases (BB Movie Prime and Kingdom Rhinox, respectively). Both look okay!
Optimus Prime- I like the bolder colors, especially in robot mode. The overall mechanics look simpler, which I think works to streamline his look in this expression.
Rhinox- Some divergences from his Beast Changer toy we’ve seen, but the key design elements seem to remain. While he seems to use the Kingdom engineering, I’m curious how the execution will be. Like we saw with Core Cheetor, I think removing the requirement of a realistic beast mode could give the designers some flex to correct or enhance on areas of complaints with the original. At the very least, his chain guns seem to be more substantive now that they don’t need to integrate into the beast mode. Bot mode is a touch plain, I would have really liked to see a bit more green and gold just to break up the grey and tan.
JtPrime17 has also posted some updated release dates for Generations and Studio Series. In terms of Rise of the Beasts…
(I’m assuming “wave 2 2023” is basically encompassing the initial Rise of the Beast figures)
Wave 3- August-ish
Deluxe Bumblebee is listed, likely a carryover
Voyager Rhinox
November will a significant array of RotB figures:
Wave 4 Core-
Delta 2 (Freezor was Delta 1, likely another Terrocon minion)
Hydra (Codename, meaning likely a TF7 release)
Deluxe wave 4-
Nightbird
Mirage
Leader wave 4-
Optimus Primal

First Look At Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Mainline Voyager Rhinox And Optimus Prime
Thanks to 2005 Boards Members prfctcellrulz and Pixelmaster, we now have our first look at Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Mainline Voyager Rhinox and Optimus Prime. Not much is known about the figures but it is clear that Optimus Prime is based on his [awesome] Hasbro Control Art. Rhinox on...

Optimus Prime turns into a robot.
You forgot a handful of slow motion, 360 pans of the female character's T and A in the middle of the action.
I would honestly love this if it was done in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, highlighting the vehicle parts in such a way that it actually looks more like a car commercial than an attempt at sexual titillation.
...I bet whoever sponsored the alt mode would appreciate that, too.
That is fair. Your average Michael Bay movies all use the same script. I have a copy of it below:
You forgot to add what Bay would consider "special effects" to his Baysplosions series, such as the American flag (at all times), unnecessarily sexualised situations or portrayals of underaged girls and just a dash of casual racism.

This toyline is an aesthetic disaster. The Autobot designs are too complicated for the paint budget, and the beasts have so little color that it would hardly matter if they did have a bigger paint budget. They should be colorful like the 2007 Autobots. Instead they're colored like Decepticon generics/protoforms.
And it's a shame because the toys look so fun. The engineering looks simple and effective, and the gimmicks are neat. If the character designs were typical Transformers with lots of block coloring like what the paint budget is actually able to achieve, this would be a fantastic toyline.

Just wait for the (oversized) KOs. Film figures often get beautifully painted knockoffs, either soon after the originals are released or about a year later.
That reminds me, I was just telling my wife last night that it would be cool if this Scourge ends up like an amalgamation of RiD and Cybertron's Scourges, taking on a dragon alt near the end of the film.
Don't forget the sunsets, especially if the scene immediately preceding it was clearly midday.
And then back to midday for the next scene!
