We have some more images of voyager class Optimus Primal, this time from the @transformers.snapshots page on Instagram. These show a comparison with Kingdom Optimus Primal. While both are of the same character and the same size, it is interesting to see how they are also completely different toys in terms of sculpt, detail, look and even have a different transformation, from what we see in the video below. Of course, the Rise of the Beasts one looks woefully in need of colour, though it is trying to use the colour palette of the live action film.

We also see that it is only slightly shorter than voyager Optimus Prime. There will be a Studio Series release of ROTB Optimus Primal as well, which has yet to be revealed.

Thanks to Movie Primal, the Kingdom Primal looks like a million bucks standing side by side. I guess it's true that you should have an uglier friend next you in pictures to make you look better.

I'll get a RotB Optimus Primal for sure but I'll wait for the SS leader to come out first. Then I'll decide which one is better.

Just realized something, not sure why it didn't occur to me until just now.

That SS Leader Optimus Primal is going to end up being quite a giant considering these RotB line figures are quite a bit smaller and less complex than their SS counterparts. I got the impression that Primal is bigger than Prime in the movie and is certainly going to be a bulkier figure than the SS RotB Voyager Prime since it's based on the SS Bee Movie figure. RotB Prime and Primal are average sized Voyagers while Bee Movie SS Prime is a fairly large Voyager by todays standards.

I imagine SS Leader Primal will have things like internal weapon storage and such.

News from the Rise of the Beasts toyline just keeps piling. In the world right now, the two waves of voyager class figures are being released simultaneously. Which makes sense as all these toys were produced last year and are only now making their way to retailers all at once. We saw that voyagers Primal and Prime were found in Mexico and now we have Pre (repack) and Rhinox found in Australia at KMart. That same sighting also shows us more single packed deluxe figures, like Bumblebee who we had only seen in that three pack. The images below come from Tf fan Ratchet 208.

In other sightings news, a new Mirage toy was found in the US and on E-bay. It is part of the Battle Changers assortment, which are similar to the mid sized Authentics toys.

These photos are actually really nice, comparing Kingdom and the other Mainline & SS figures for ROTB. With these coming off Instagram, my page per say @transformers.snapshots , i really would have expected some mention or recognition. I have posted there ALL my photos for mainline primal and even Optimus along with ALL the other mainline and SS. I do Hope this can be edited with a proper Mention. Much appreciated!.

Thanks for writing in. We added the mention in the article and gave you a news credit as well. If ever you have other images of fun stuff you want to share you can let us know on these boards. Take care!

Do you all remember the Beast Mode Bumblebee toy that was revealed a little while back? It was Bumblebee in his Camaro form but he had extra bird bits for a "super" robot mode. Well, we know an Optimus was coming too and now we finally have images.

Of course, no surprise, the beast mode acts as extra parts to create a super robot mode with beast elements. In this case, it is a white lion, which is a great choice given the existence of Leo Prime. You can see the images below. You'll notice that Prime here has the same alt mode we've seen for most of the line, which is an off road truck.

April 12th is still the expected official release date for the toys, right?

It's hard to keep up with this new Rise of the Beasts toyline with there being so much product all coming out at the same time across the globe. When it comes to the US, almost everything has been released, now that the voyagers and flex changers have been found. Both the voyagers (which includes Optimus Prime and Optimus Primal) and the flex changers (the one steps) were found at Walmarts across the nation.

You'll also notice the absence of the main villain, Scourge, in these more kid friendly lines. Well, there's more of him coming. We now have images of Battle Changers Scourge (simple conversion toy between scout and deluxe class) and Beast Changer Scourge (with Scorponok armor). We also have images of the rest of the single released deluxes. So now you have even more options to buy everyone's favourite Bespectacled Autobot, Wheeljack.
