Better Look at Rise of the Beasts Optimus Primal on Toy Packaging

That mask is still one of the most creative Transformers to come out in recent years.

The beasts continue to look great, I am looking forward to them in live action!

Rumor is the first ROTB trailer is due this Thursday, December 1st. No official confirmation so I'd take it with a grain of salt, but I've been seeing that all over.

The big marketing push for Transformers Rise of the Beasts is upon us. It begins December 1st and we already have new posters up in the UK. They are Autobot and Maximal symbols filled with QR codes. The codes bring us to the Paramount youtube page so with these posters out in the wild now it's pretty clear that a video/trailer for the film is meant to be out very soon. The photos were posted by Lebastian on Twitter.

We'll keep you up to date on more info when it comes!

Full trailer should be out in about an hour, but here’s a snippet of Mirage transforming!

Big day for Transformers fans as it is the official launch date for the Transformers Rise of the Beasts marketing campaign and our first official look at the film.

Without further ado, here is a link to the official teaser trailer on the Seibertron.com YouTube channel:



We get to hear Peter Cullen as Optimus prime and Ron Perlman as Optimus Primal who spends quite a bit of time in his gorilla mode with only a brief look at his robot mode at the end. That goes for the other 3 maximals in his movie (Rhinox, Airazor and Cheetor) who are seen more in their alt modes, at least in this trailer. We also get a very good look at Mirage's robot mode and his power which does have a G1 theme to it. We also see Arcee and Bumblebee very well. We get to see the shot of Arcee hanging onto Wheeljack's van alt mode which was previously shown to industry insiders.

The villains are less obvious in this trailer though we do get a good look at Battletrap in both of his modes. You'll let us know what you think!

Also, voice cast!

"If I had a nickel for every time Bumblebee got stabbed in the first trailer for a Transformers movie I'd have 2 nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice."



Also, John DiMaggio as Stratosphere? Count me very interested!

I really like that Prime has his Bayverse face again, though the rest of the design feels a little weird. Bumblebee's looking good though!

The CGI looks top tier awful.
Primal looks like Beast Machines Primal with Prime's head superimposed on it.
Every single one of these character designs looks like a fan edit speculating who will be in Age Of Extinction from 2013. Optimus has the proportions of someone speculating what evasion mode Optimus would look like in robot mode.
The textures and shading on the models look unfinished.

Not sold on the designs yet, we'll see what they look like onscreen and toy form, but so far there's something just really boring about the glimpses we got of the Maximals. Curious to see if Stratosphere is going to be a cargo plane like the Revenge of the Fallen toy. Wonder who's "Reek" and if there'll be any Predacons. Also, I think in that last bit of battle in the trailer, it was Nightbird flying around, based on the colourscheme.
