First Look at 2022 Packaging for Rise of the Beasts Toys

This idea of putting rise of the beasts in Cyberverse was so weird.

I think it was ingenious myself, they were faced with a unique problem and came up with a cost effective solution that still allowed them to get the toys out there to market.

Yeah and without looking like complete fools, promoting a film that doesn't exist yet.

That Optimus could easily be remolded into a garbage truck.
Why not a modern take on Animated Wreck-Gar?

Might still happen.

I had no interest in the film or the toys except for maybe Scourge, but maybe we'll get some better engineered versions in Studio Series down the line? After they finally do the rest of the movie Dinobots!

So, this might be the first time that we'll be able to spot the copied KO versions of this toy, because the packaging pictures will actually match the attached figure on the copy and NOT the official version?

My theory is that this vehicle is going to be used on the final battle of the film.

Hasbro said we'll be getting releases of the ROTB characters in studio series in 2023, so for sure it will be before the remaining Bayverse Dinos.

I'm hoping to wake up tomorrow to dozens of posts, tweets, retweets, and general mass insanity as these toys just appear.

I'd love that.

So is it Bumblebee cyberverse or rise of the beasts or have they just used the same moulds for both as a cost saver, these toys tbh don't look the best anyways so I do hope they release a better version of them film toys.

Shame US Walmarts have drastically scaled back their Cyberverse selection. There's nowhere to put these in my local stores, may be a little too late. I'm sure they had planned to carry the ROTB line but I wonder if the plan was always to replace Cyberverse with them. I guess we'll know soon enough.

It's just the Rise of the Beasts toys in Cyberverse packaging. An easy solution when you have toys ready now but no movie for another year.

Aaaand nothing. I think I heard a corrected date of September.

How will we get the transmetals? I was hoping maybe ROTB but it looks like the answer is no.

Apparently, the mainline Rise of the Beasts toys are on US shores but we have no indication of when they will be found in stores. While we believe these toys will be in Cyberverse packaging, we only know of that certainty with the Smash Changers (see below). Speaking of which, while we have seen Optimus Prime already, we now know this toy class will also get Rhinox and Optimus Primal.

And we now know Scourge is also getting another toy in the line in the Battle Changers class. We get this question often, so here is the answer again: the ROTB movie toys we'd expect in a Studio Series line are not coming out this year and we currently have no listings regarding them, the toys coming out this year are all for a younger audience.

Smash Changers – $31.49 each

Smash Changer Optimus Prime (F4642)
Smash Changer Rhinox (F4643)
Smash Changer Optimus Primal (F464)

Battle Changers/Battle Chargers – $10.99 each

Battle Changer Bumblebee (F4607)
Battle Charger Rhinox (F4606)
Battle Charger Mirage (F4609)
Battle Changer Scourge (F4610)

We thank Silver Optimus over at TFW2005 for the info.

Me waiting for the toys to show up in stores.

So, apparently there's been these images running around the internet of another toy/merchandise:



I'll admit, I don't know if this is awesome despite being ridiculous, or awesome because it's ridiculous.

Also, could anyone else see this as a new way to adapt the Head/Titanmasters asibe from actual figures? Because I'd pay for an Optimus Prime mask that turned into Hi-Q or Ginrai.

On another note, they seem to be using the "modernized" Maximal Insignia that kept showing up in the packages of Kingdom but none of the toys. Pity, I kinda preferred the old one.

Not sure if such a thing will be comfortable to wear, but this is absolutely brilliant!

That is fantastic, even if its not real, it's terrific work.

The old one was recently re-trademarked by Hasbro, so it'll probably still be in use.

Lots of Rise of the Beasts (ROTB) news today when it comes to toys. We had new listings earlier today and we have another one: Studio Series leader class Optimus Primal. this is our very first listing for a Rise of the Beast toy not made just for kids. However, this is a leader class toy, and Optimus Primal is usually voyager sized, so expect the similar type of release where the main bot is voyager sized and comes with accessories or more parts, bumping him up a class.

This comes from fellow Seibertronian Gotbot who posts on youtube. He had another listing, Transformers Generations Holiday Prime, though that is not a movie listing.

As for more ROTB news, we have a new product to show you. it is part of the mainline for kids, a transforming mask. It is a mask of Optimus Primal's beast mode which turns into Optimus Primal's robot mode. We again see the new Maximal symbol used for the upcoming movie and we know this is a real product since we have the instructions next to it. These toys are out there and we are bound to get more and more news regarding them one way or another.

You'll let us know what you think.

Plot twist - ROTB Primal doesn't turn into a gorilla, he turns into a giant floating gorilla face.

that looks extremely uncomfortable to wear. also, if prime and primal tango, and prime does the ole "I want your face" stick, will definitely give this one new meaning

Wonder who gave him THAT idea (cough MEGATRON cough)

Don't know if it was intentional, but that's a nice little Beast Machines nod...

Holy god- this might be one of the best pieces of TF merch ever. An ape mask?? Ape mask to robot mode? Yes, I'll take 5.

First Vok figure?

I'll admit that's an extremely creative idea for a kid's toy. That way when Halloween's over, you can still play with it as a regular ol' robot toy!

Ooooooooh! So he's Andross.

Or it's actually Under-3 as a gorilla head instead. He does look a lot like Primal in bot mode.

If these were around when I was a kid I sure wouldn't need Halloween as an excuse to wear them.

Also, haloween costumes in general tend to be the robot and not the alt mode.

Any idea how much that mask will cost?
Voyager priced, leader priced, or something in between?

That looks super uncomfortable. Are you supposed to stick his feet in your mouth?

The actual SS figures may still look nice though.

Voyager priced

2-In-1 Mask – $34.99 each

I'm expecting a 50$CAD price

I dunno, I think the idea of dressing up as a robot gorilla to be just as fun as dressing up as a robot that turns into a gorilla!

'Do you want to know how I got these scars?'

'You wore a Primal mask, didnt you?'

'Ook'


Looks neat will be cool to see if and what other characters get done in this style.

It appears tome that whoever designed it either didn't actually wear it themselves nor did kid testing because it doesn't look wearable without some mild discomfort. Though it's possibly whoever folded the legs inward did it wrong and they're supposed to elsewhere.

What an extremely badly designed and silly little product.

I suppose its redeemable feature is that it doesn't cost as much as TT/Casio's Optimus/Nemesis "watch mount"...

I have a suspicion though that this toy will be KO'd up the wazoo.

Anyway, be Hasbro, please listen carefully to us fans the next time we say we want "Transformable M.A.S.K toys linked to the expanded TF universe"...

I'm calling it now, kids are going to slice their faces open on those hollow parts.

It's probably been tested to make sure that doesn't happen. They won't voluntary release something that would cause them to be sued.

It's entirely likely that there's something missing here like padding.

2 things I noticed.

1. I'm pretty sure those feet are supposed to swivel down to the chin. There's even slots there for the tabs on the foot posts.
2. Primal is going to be seeing into your mind every time you wear that. Feel those eyes burning into your skull.... while he flexes.

I thought the same as you with the leg posts, then I realised they were there for bot mode as those panels are his shins in robot form.

You might be right. Those tabs may be for robot mode.

The only other place they can go is up into the nose. A bit uncomfortable if you ask me.
