Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
- Thread starter SHIELD Agent 47
- Start date
Maybe he was transporting Lions and forgot to not transform until they were out.
In the UK they have appeared on toy store websites, so if they haven't appeared in stores yet, its likely a bit delayed due to Easter Weekend and some stores have to wait a few days for their delivery of stock
It was all a dream.
As part of Japan's Rise of the Beasts promotion, Takara has been promoting the original Beast Wars. It seems that there might be a (re?) release of a BW (board?) game in Japan:

Looks like Optimus asked Ratchet to put a tiger in his tank but Ratchet gave Bantor the last one.
TECHNICALLY...but that is always dependent on retailers giving a flip. Just like how some have been putting stuff out for the past week, some will probably take a week to get all the stuff out. This week is also supposed to see the rollout for Indiana Jones, Guardians of the Galaxy, and The Flash, so some stores might be "holding back" until they do the full reset with all the new lines.
My experience today was that my store put stuff out...in the near empty Pokemon section. Seemed like they hadn't actually started a new modular, but still shoved stuff out to get it out of the back. No sign of the display trains, and there wasn't enough stuff there to be a broken down display. Given how my store has functioned in the past...I think what I saw was the extent of what I'll be seeing until at least the fall. I saw:
The Transforming Masks, Titan Changers, Core Voyager, Beast Changers and Smash Changer Optimus Primal. A nice "spread", but several key items were missing. We'll see if they crop up later.
Optimus Primal's colors just befuddle me. I really like the design and everything I've seen of the engineering...but I just can't get past that gunmetal grey and silver that just looks like a grey blob. Seeing it in person did NOTHING to make him more desirable. I'm still holding hope on a running change or a retailer repaint to make it more interesting. But I did get Prime, so...
Also, I've noticed EVERYONE seems to have the stuff 10-20% higher than Hasbro's SRP. I'm inclined to think it's a ploy to maintain margins when the sales start. So $9.99 looks attractive after retailing for 11.99. Walmart has Voyager Prime at $33.97. A buck less than Studio Series/Generations, and it's pretty clear that there is a LOT more than a $1 difference when you compare Core Voyagers to Generations.
I guess I need to be patient then. Hopefully, I'll have better luck later this week.
More leaks/unofficial official shots are out there!
The Autobots Unite Collection. Likely a retailer exclusive, this entire sub line is composed of repaints/rereleases from the Bumblebee movie line.

From international retailers, we've got an in package appearance of Weaponizer Arcee with Cheetor. And Battle Master Optimus Primal. Cheetor is pretty similar to the single pack, short some deco. Arcee looks like the best toy she's got lined up, barring a really good Core Deluxe later on.
The TFW thread with images of her in package, on page 3, there is an image of her in robot mode.

The post from another thread with stock photo of Primal in package and beast mode. Blaster mode looks nice, and nice that he isn't some form of butt-blaster.

It’s a shame that Cheetor is extremely similar to his single-packed release. I’d be more interested in this if he had a different color scheme (and I’d...

I continue to love the little Battlemaster beasts. I will buy a bunch of these. I'm glad that it seems like all of them are being released in single packs and not exclusively in the packs with the larger figures.
Not really digging these, but good for whomever does!
Two of my local Walmarts put up RotB endcap displays this week (with toys); the rest don't have the kind of endcap necessary for the display in their toy departments.
Meanwhile, my local Target got Beast Battle Masters and Beast Combiners last week, and today the remaining items have clearance tags on them.

Battletrap is quite the little Firecracker, eh readers? 
Just occured to me this is a reverse RiD01 with Autobots aligned with Maximals against vehicular Decepticons.
I got ROTB mainline Optimus Primal, Cheetor and Airazor and feel the latter two serve as upgrades to the Kingdoms figures so will replace them whilst the former reminds me of BM Blast Punch Optimus Primal.
