Look! I did a thing!
It’s a loose fit, so you’ll want to cram something else in there to get BBM Wheeljack’s head to stay on RotB Wheeljack’s body. You’ll also need to turn the head sideways to transform him.

It's not two vehicles in one?

Or, with no expectation that a live-action TF movie ever respect a G1 gimmick, that this figure's arms-to-legs body proportion's all worng? Arms too short, legs too long?

Also, I've spotted a smilely face in battletrap's chest and now I can't unsee it

No...there's something about the length of the torso in relation to the legs and the legs themselves.

Is it transformed the same way as in the stock renders shown by Hasbro?

It's his arms! He can't even scratch his own codpiece because his arms are too short. On the average person, the arms come down to about mid thigh. His are at his enemy scrotum. Next to figures with normal length arms like Cheetor, it looks goofy and odd.

They completely ruined my favorite combiner team. (Terrorcons)
And they ruined my favorite Insecticon team, the 4 deluxe Insecticons. I gave up on ever getting the full team/set unless I go back & buy the crappy G1 toys.
There is really no need for me to continue collecting this franchise. I will pick up BB movie Skywarp & titan Nemesis and finish up my leader Dinobots but that's about it. I might also try to get the full set of BB movie Autobots but I'm really not motivated anymore. I lost interest with Kingdom & they're not doing a damned thing to get me interested again. Everything just keeps getting worse & worse. Maybe that new video game will be good?

I hate when that happens to me, it really screws up my vision and focus on a toy.

That'll do it. It's just off enough that you can't NOT see it.

I can sympathize. They haven't put out anything in a LONG time that I felt I just HAD to have. I collected all the combiners from Combiner Wars, but after that it's been barely a handful of figures from the lines that followed. The fact the store shelves around here have been practically empty since POTP hasn't helped either. None of the kiddie lines or Baybot mess interest me at all, so I'm having a REALLY hard time staying interested.

I wouldn't put much hope in the game.

Some modifications might help. The end result will be a sight to behold.

Wheeljack, I kind of like the toy design, especially the alt mode. But this has Michael Bay's signature stereotype written all over it ("Oh we're doing Wheeljack? Bring in all the clichés to humiliate all nerds!"). I'm afraid I'll HATE the toy after seeing the movie.
Battletrap's alt mode is great. Bot came out oddly blocky looking though, and has the same top-heavy proportion problem as Nightbird in bot mode, but that's a minor complaint. Should be a get.
The Beasts are all pretty good and are the most exciting part of ROTB for me, in the movie OR the figures.
Posted by Sowndwave76 on January 10th, 2023 @ 4:31pm CST
The only one of these that is remotely tempting for me is Airazor.
Even though the bot face is a bit cartoonish imo, the molded detail, colors, overall form, and alt mode are all really solid.
One thing I’ll give this line is the variety.
Not just because some have beast alt modes.
But even between Arcee, Wheeljack, Nightbird, Freezer, & Battletrap; they each look unique.
Imo that’s a really good thing.

He has a Lockdown meets TLotR Nazgûl appearance, and I really dig the smaller, asymmetric details, and the dark color scheme.
This definitely has my attention, which is surprising considering the vast majority of times movie figures usually don’t get a second glance.

This feels both repulsive and appealing at the same time.

I forgot to mention that with the size of that briefcase, she follows the rule of a being equipped with a MASSIVE weapon (with infinite ammo, of course.)

Glad to see the EnergonPub hasn't changed lol
Looks like an Interesting figure! Though not fond of the color pallet. Most of the ROTB figures look fun, but would benefit from repaints/ retools like 07, ROTF and hunt for Decepticons toys.

I probably shouldn't add to this, but dang-it, the one TF fast food tie-in forever deep-fried into my memory is KFC Singapore's DOTM meal actually labeled "Boxmaster". In hindsight, they clearly jumped the gun by 12 years and promoted the wrong movie. To everyone complaining that the name "Terrorcons" has been nonsensically applied to this new motley crew of 'Cons, I now know what their sub-group should've been called.
And if we're hypersexualizing Nightbird, I think it might actually be a functional file cabinet...
...full of Raksha's fanfics.
Seriously, HasTak validates more of her ideas every time Nightbird gets an official toy. It's uncanny.

Oh man thinking on it, ROTB Nightbird's colors aren't far off from the 1995 Nightracer art. Now that would be a Toyhax project!

The video is from PrimevsPrime.
He and other fans were able to procure this toy early through asian online marketplaces like this one: https://shopee.ph/Hasbro-Transformers-L ... V06AwhRwFM
There will be a Studio Series release of Wheeljack as well but we have not seen it as it probably is not coming out in the first wave of Studio Series toys from the Rise of the Beasts line.

A definite peg-warmer, assuming you find it anywhere at all. I should be grateful to Hasblo for doing everything then can to help me save money.
