It kinda reminds me of Prime Bumblebee's face.

That's it! Something was bugging me about this and that is it exactly! There are some strong resemblances to Prime BB.

We know these transforming masks are already in ports (there is also a Bumblebee one) along with the Smash and Change toys like the upcoming Optimus Prime and yet while both are in the same set of movie listings, the labelling is different. The Smash and Change Rise of the Beasts toys are going to be in Cyberverse packaging, we saw that. And it was confirmed that they were initially supposed to be in Rise of the Beasts packaging. We even had a description of the packaging having a volcano/molten lava theme from those who had seen mock ups. "Rise of the Beasts" is now nowhere to be found on the Cyberverse packaging. However, we have these photos below which are of the instructions that come with the transforming mask and they have the Rise of the Beasts labelling. So will we be getting toys in Cyberverse packaging that have ROTB labelled instructions? Only time will tell but it seems not everything could be stopped and shifted around, making this ROTB toyline rather interesting.

There should be, Prime BB's face is a streamlined version of Bayverse Bee.

Until someone puts them on, we'll never know.

Yup, that's about right.

Tried and tested models still have their place, especially when you’ve got a Consumer Products program that leans on core pillars like toys and games. What is interesting now is that we can test and learn. Instead of dropping products based on seasons, we’re now looking to where a rollout could be more relevant to a culture in one of our specific markets.

If the content is pushed back and we experience a delay at retail, or there are problems getting product on the water, it’s better to be flexible and have a softer, more phased-out launch instead of using a big, all-encompassing 360 strategy.

This is especially important for Hasbro’s “vault” brands such as Transformers, Peppa Pig, and My Little Pony, which exists in highly competitive toy categories, most notably preschool. To have a major rollout fall flat due to timing problems is not an option, so the company is expanding its arsenal of marketing and engagement tools.

Yeah, that was mine. I went to that same toysrus yesterday and it was so pitiful I took no pics. Don't know about where you are at, but in Canada, TRU is no longer one of the main stores to buy Transformers anymore. People just go for exclusives if ever they have any.
