BC Scourgepinok on the other hand makes me glad I do most of my TF shopping at Target anyway. Coolest Beast Combiner I've seen to date.

TC Scourge looks like a frame from the Distorted Cat meme video.
GIMME ALL THE SCORPIONS! Those looks bad-ass, including that tiny rusty Scourge. Too bad it's a Target exclusive because my local TrU doesn't have a good track record in carrying those.

I don't know if the combiner one is exclusive. Just sure about the weaponizer one.

First the one that have the Targetmaster. He's simple fun but holy crap that poor tiger got a grisly fate...
Next is the Smash Changer. Sure he's a brick, but he's pretty fun overall.
Finally, the one with poor Skullcruncher. I man, how BARBARIC AND METAL this set is! I wish this will be a scene in the movie.

Mirage looks decent, I am so glad they went with the head from the trailers over that original head, the mouth area doesn't look that good on him. But i am excited for him since he is the only one of the main 5 Autobots i still need.

Guess I'll have to wait for the push on these kiddie figures to ebb out before stores replenish the Legacy line and other figures for those of us looking for something a little less childish. That probably means another 6-8 months with unsold Coronation Starscreams and Studio Series 86 Blurr/Kup figures gathering dust on the pegs.

It’s pretty cool! It’s actually Evasion Mode Optimus Prime from Age of Extinction in robot mode (which is why I was interested in it), I’m looking forward to painting it up! The sculpted detail is really nice for a figure of this size.
What kind of candy is that in the background?

Where did you find him? Were there others from thar sibline in stores?

Air Heads Extremes! These are the only ones I’ve seen so far but supposedly there’s a couple different types of Air Heads with Transformers branding.

Found him at a Meijer in Michigan, actually the same one I first found Studio Series wave 1 in all those years ago! The others from the same class were there (Bee, Barricade), but none of the larger Energon Igniters like ROTF Megatron and Orange Ironhide/Battletrap.
Here’s the packaging (Optimus is sitting loose inside since I already opened it)

I have been enjoying the new toys a lot. They are fun to mess with.

But that Cheetor shouldn't have a removable tail-weapon. The kid will lose this part instantly.
As for that horrible, horrible Scourge, I really want to buy it and to customise it into a Draugr from Skyrim. A Draugr who can change into a truck. That will be wicked!
Where did you find them, Will?

There was more in the toy aisle that's been there for a few weeks. Shame they didn't have any more Battle Masters.

While I did find them at Walmart, it wasn't in the tf aisle but in that random aisle they use to put overstock.

I'll have to explore my Walmart a bit more then.
The TF aisle at my local Walmart barely have anything since months now. I have to be very lucky to land on anything relevant like I did with the G1 Hounds.

I am having a lot of fun with the RotB line so far.
Posted by william-james88 on April 24th, 2023 @ 12:27am CDT
For those curious, we have review for the deluxe Bumblebee which is available in a Target exclusive 3 pack and sold on its own. We also have comparison images between that Bumblebee and the SS 100 ROTB Bumblebee, its counterpart in the Studio Series line. Knowing that both are available individually, which you do you prefer and which would you go for?
We thank Chuckdawg 1999 and Whirlkick for the images and reviews. Chuckdawg's review of Bumblebee also looks at the Flex Changers which was released in the US along with the initial wave of ROTB toys.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Here's a unique look at the Japanese releases of the Flex Changers and Deluxe Class Bumblebee. These are exactly the same as the US releases but with stickers on the packaging for the Japanese market. What is different is the price, both figures shipped cost less than what Deluxe Bumblebee goes for on eBay. Flex Changers Bumblebee is really fun and is the definition of a desk toy. Deluxe Bumblebee, unfortunately, doesn't live up to my expectations and doesn't feel fun in my hands, stick with the Studio Series version.

But the fact that both the SS and main line Bees have a vehicle m9de tha5 are the same size, but the main line Bee is 1.5 times BIGGER than the SS one is pretty impressive.
I may be more interested in getting the main Bee than the SS one. The SS already have some undercarriage in vehicle mode with h8s arms anyway. So might as well get a "proper" deluxe rather than a scout pretending to be a deluxe.

Question, will all the movie characters get this "Generations" like mainline release next to the Studio Series?
I noticed Studio Series is overly complicated in transformation and is flimsy, loose torso's and panels that will not peg into place.
I like my bots a little less academic, if the screen accuracy suffers a little because of it no problem. Not going as far as Energon Igniters or Fast Action Battlers, that's way overdoing it + those lines only had 1 scale for all the characters (Bumblebee as big as Constructicon Longhaul etc.).
27 April Trailer 2 guys!

So far, only the and will have mainline "normal" figure, and Nightbird who is the only villain.
I would have loved to see what a "voyager" Scourge would have been?

I'm honestly surprised we aren't seeing more missing heads in the line so far. Heck, I've knocked off Battle Master Cheetor's feet enough times that I wouldn't be surprised if they just fell off and out of the package on their own.

Yep, and it's affecting other lines too. There was an Across the Spiderverse Spider-Punk figure without a head there too.
Also, who just walks by and rips off a window from Prime. Or did it fall off in transit somewhere?

I'd say so, I once saw a Cyberverse 3-pack at Target with Deluxe Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Cheetor... with the cheetah head popped off. Thankfully the head was still in the box so I popped it back on, just 'cause. Didn't get the set tho...

At least the head was still in the box. Nice of you to pop it back on.

Man, that trailer really did turn on my desire to own so much RotB stuff.
Anyways, have some pictures of some fun RotB toys.
