Cheetor Confirmed to be in Transformers Rise of the Beasts

Cool!

Can't wait to see the Maximals!

That's AWESOME News!!! I'm excited to see news outlets still using my old Cheetor Concept design! I'm sure the design will change for the film, but now I'm wondering if this old design will be close? A few months ago I got hit with a takedown notice from one of Hasbro's lawyers and Brian Chapman tried to call me several times too. I guess we'll see what happens.

Well, I am very excited that the VW bus is Wheeljack. I am stoked for that. And BATTLETRAP is the name of the towtruck?! I love it!

also excited to get confirmation of Cheetor being in the film. I am excited for the film, still excited and getting more excited as time goes

My favourite part aboit Wheeljack is thst we'll eventually get a toy of a Transformer with an interesting alt mide like that.

Maybe we will get a retool of that Wheeljack mold as Origin Wheeljack?

ROTB is delayed to June 9, 2023.

We know from Deadline that Paramount has pushed back the release of Transformers 7: Rise of the Beasts by a whole year. Instead of coming out in June 2022, it will instead be released in June 2023, the 9th to be exact.

What makes this more interesting than possibly any other film delay is that more than any live action franchise, the Transformers franchise always has a major toyline assigned to it, often taking up entire retailer areas, as can be seen below. And the Rise of the Beast toys are already ordered by retailers like Target, which have the toys already in their system, for a 2022 release date. You can see the whole list of toys here (they are in spoiler free code names). And as we had seen in previous toylines for films, like Godzilla vs Kong, Black Widow, ect, the fact that the toys were already in the pipeline meant they were released anyway. So knowing all this, is it possible that we still get that massive toyline in 2022 instead of in 2023 when the movie releases? We'll see, but this is bound to be interesting.

Hopefully everything is okay behind the scenes,and they are just polishing the film.


Day 681 of waiting for Transformers Armada Masterpiece news.

High chances that the toys will look nothing as they appear in the movie. Remember the Beetle Bee? That was just within the normal timeframe. The movie producers could turn Scourge into a Skids-N-Mudflap duo riding each other's shoulders for all we know.

For over a year?! They are polishing Spider-man Far from Home right now and that film comes out in a month.

Yeah, if they take that time to redo the bot modes to have a different aesthetic, then it will be like the toys from the first film. I am more curious about whether or not the toys will release next year or they will wait for 2023.

This is actually good news, toy wise, as it means that the priority will be on Generation molds, including molds that they might have ended up cancelling.
If they already have designs made for folks like Polar Claw and Gears (who we know were originally planned for Kingdom, but cancelled), they will try to use such toys to fill in the gap so as to fill space.
I would also assume more cases of repaints, alas.

I guess that would explain why there are no ROTB Studio Series figures leaked for this year.

TF7 delayed by a year???

Well that's just prime...


(I always wanted to say that )

SS ROTB toys won't be out until 2 or 3 years after the original ROTB toys like with Last Knight which had a toyline well before Last Knight Studio Series.

I don't think that's how they're doing it anymore. The Bumblebee Movie released toys in Studio Series, rather than having its own separate line. It doesn't make sense to have a separate line anymore, then release "better" toys a few years later.

Except the Bumblebee movie did in fact have a toy line, it just wasn't very large and shifted more towards younger audiences with the energon igniters skipping the regular deluxe/voyager figures that eventually went into Studio Series. That line was the only way to get TR Frenzy. That was the first movie release while Studio Series was in stores and was a bit different from past movies. But so far, it would also be the exception to what they have done in the past. It is anyone's guess how they will do things this time around

Last knight studio series doesnt exist

Maybe Hasbro's studied their supply chain problems enough to assume that RotB toys won't hit stores in significant numbers until about a year after their intended release?

this is most likely due to how poorly movies are doing in theaters right now. Opening night for Venom 2, first showing, 8 people in the theater. I almost didn't go myself because I was afraid to be packed in a crowded room with a bunch of people. My state has a lot of people that call the pandemic a hoax. So while the low turn out was good for me and let me have a nite out, it is decimating the box office take homes for big budget films. Given the state of Paramount, and their recent decision to abandon big blockbuster pictures, they are probably looking at how poorly movies are doing right now and freaking out.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage had a $90 million opening weekend, bigger than that of the first film. Not a great example. But I do agree that this is probably pandemic-related.
