I doubt it's coming but how cool would a Weaponizer Scourge/Freezer set have been? Obviously, Freezer would've been a LOT simpler.

They are shaping up to be difficult to find for sure.

I would have loved a weaponizer Scourge Freezer, that feels like it would have been an easy layup.

Smash changer Rhinox continues to be really fun

I also want mainline (and battle changer versions of) Arcee, Battletrap, Freezer and Scourge.

Managed to snag the Smash Changer Scourge, so that is one off the list. I actually like how this turned out. I wish the head was better, but I really like it for some reason. He also goes pretty well with Axlegrease in terms of aesthetic




3 Future Optimus Prime variants:

Yolopark has proven to be a fun addition to the realm of Transformers merchandise lately, thanks to their easy-to-assemble model kits that are also very affordable and of good build quality. They recently released the Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Optimus Primal kits, and it looks as though we have many more to look forward to!

Thanks to their Instagram page, we have prototype images and teasers for the next wave, which will consist of Scourge, Rhinox, and Cheetor! All 3 are based on their robot modes, and appear to have some great detailing built into them, a feature that was present and pretty impressive on their first wave. Cheetor and Rhinox also appear to come with their weapons as well, much like Primal did.

We do not yet know when these kits will be available, or if there will be another wave.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think!

They really love that Scourge's ASS. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Seems wave 1 is back in production again, too. Saw them on pre-order again at AmiAmi.

You mean, the mainline Deluxes and Voyagers?

I got all 3 voyagers but I never, ever saw a single deluxe.

So the fact that they do a re-run of W1 is a great thing.

No, the Yolopark models.

Ok, take out your bottles of Himalayan pink sea salt and start shaking since I don't have first hand proof of this. Apparently Target has pulled listings for the mainline deluxes and voyagers with the intention of releasing them later in the year under some sort of exclusive "Kid Friendly" Studio Series line. For what it's worth, I had the listing for Mainline Airrazor saved under my favorites in the Target app, and it disappeared a few weeks ago.

I never saw the things in store. Not even online.

Once again, a reprint of W1 is a good idea. But it's still not guaranteed that I'll ever find any.

I doubt the models were ever sold in any physical stores. They've been selling out at online stores since the movie came out and now Japanese sites are taking orders again.

As for the figure line only the Voyagers have been found in stores in North America as far as I know. There's 2 Target exclusive Deluxe 4 packs, but only one has been released.

They'll come around eventually at my local TrU, but it may take months or even a year, based on the releases of the N.E.S.T figures and the SS44 reissue.

Debating actually ordering Prime, since it seems like we are getting a decent number of these guys in that scale. I am not the biggest fan of Prime's design, and to be honest, I only passed because he didn't have his weapons which actually made him cool. But with a Scourge coming, maybe I need a Prime for him to abuse

Apparently the weapons will be available for free down the road, just how hasn't been revealed yet.

So what are the odds, or have they revealed yet, of releasing a Noah in mech suit? Seems like something they could have included with a Voyager version of Mirage, unless they plan to release him as a core Bot. Which would be fine I guess but I'm hoping for more articulation that what Wheelie got.

Studio Series, who knows, but for the mainline releases I think we're just about done. If it hasn't been announced it isn't coming, the film flopped for the most part.

The main toys aren't really moving either...

Saddly true and I think this was the best movie toy line we've gotten. I think the Transformers film franchise needs to be put to bed for a bit.

Case in point: I've seen a Japanese reviewer having a wee bit too much fun with Smash Changer Primal. Then again, he also goes "wreeeee" when moving certain parts of the new Diaclone toys The Beast Armor toys really remind me pf Kamen Rider Gaim, to the point I play custom announcements in my head when I see them

I have way too much fun with everything! The Beast Armor figures remind me of Gaim too. I wonder if a designer from Gaim now works for Takara.

I was surprised to see the Deluxe 3 packs at my local Target all sold out recently, there had been four of them just hanging out since release so I guess the movie release worked for them. Or maybe people are starting to worry the single pack Deluxes just aren't going to hit stores in anyway. Personally I think they'll be out before the physical release in October.

As a fan of Beast Wars Airazor character I was tad disappointed with her movie portrayal, and ultimate demise. If they were going to got hat route could have just used any old secondary character.

I don't have anything to buy from the Movie line until Nightbird get a legitimate DLX figure.

I found the Battlemaster Wheeljack at Walmart tonight, it was a fun and random find.

Have some pictures, he is pretty neat and enjoyable for $15.

Battle Master Wheeljack is almost as big as the deluxe.

Woah.
