Here's one of Freezer's alt modes - the listing states that he has 3

But damn is that car tiny! Almost like SS 07 Jazz. Still great looking in both modes regardless.

It feels nice to see that the Studio Series is still trying to have the robot modes to be in scale.

I still say Arcee looks like some sort of female counterpart to CyKill. Look into her eyes!

Ummm, yeah, I read the description Sabrblade. I just meant that if the random-sprawling configuration in the pic is seriously an alt, and the one they wanted to show off first, they may as well claim Freezer has a dozen by going this route:Sabrblade wrote:The listing said three altmodes.

DeathReviews wrote:I wonder if they withheld a clear shot of the Freezer "alt" modes because they look crummy or something... That shot above looks about as involved a transformation as Cyberverse Shockwave's spider tank mode.
I think they're just trying to hide how the figure interacts with larger figures until later.
I don't see a problem with the alt mode shown, it's a stationary gun like a Cybertronian howitzer.

Well, mostly because I'm finally trying to kitbash one, and just discovered the screws are so tight I might destroy it and don't want to spend $100 on a replacement, but still, t'was a fun time. I'd love a Baby-Yoda-Former today.
Now to see if he can somehow hold onto all 4 sabers in weapon mode without killing his wielder!

I also believe that the alt modes are not being shown because they are designed to interact with the other Terrorcons, Siege Battlemaster style. I am guessing scourge is the primary bot they will be shown to interact with, and he has not been revealed yet.
I will need 3 of that Freezer at least, one for each Terrorcon. That has the potential to be a really fun combination/battlemaster gimmick.

We also see shots of the alt mode properly transformed, which was not the case in the original stock images, along with images showing how she can recreate the look of using her wheels as skates. One last bit, it is confirmed that there are no plans for a deluxe ROTB Arcee in the Studio Series line. Here is the entire post:
“POWER IS PRIMAL”
Alright, lets talk core class for the upcoming Rise of the Beast film! Starting off the year right with some new reveals, we have Core Arcee in her earth scanned vehicle form. The bike used for the alt mode was Inspired by the motorcycle form used on screen. The bike in the film is a fitting nod to the bayverse alt mode, as it is the period accurate super bike variant of the alt mode that she had in ROTF.
I partnered with Koki Yamada at TT, who quickly got to work on developing a fantastic transformation that would scale this figure appropriately amongst the bots for the film. Being a motorcycle, she was naturally a much smaller character, and with the debut of the core scale in 2022, we finally had a place to release her in the detail she deserves as one of the main autobots of the film.
Arcee brings about a classically fused deco scheme that incorporates red, white and some secondary pink highlights across her bot and alt mode. Due to the complexity of some of the forms, there were some small changes that were altered in the deco plan as it went into production. Primarily with the front chest fairing changing mold colors, there were no longer the black details on the shoulder joints left over by the base color, and the mirrors on the alt form needed to be incorporated into the white portion of the livery. Regardless, I am still very happy with how she turned out.
The overall bot design is a nice evolution of her Bumblebee movie form, and I was excited to see elements like her heel wheels being able to be used as blades get incorporated into the film. Her initial scenes shared in the trailer look awesome, and I am excited to see this smaller minibot type character come to life this summer!
NOTE: I won’t be sharing full Screen to Toy asset breakdowns prior to the films release out of respect to our studio partnerships.
What are your thoughts on ROTB Arcee? Are you excited to see join the core cast of autobots? Share below in the comments!

Alt mode looks very well sculpted though, and bot mode is kinda neat. Glad they got all the faction logos on his grill!
Don't ask me why I made this:

I don't think that's his neck. I think it's supposed to be decorative chainmail around his neck.

That would definitely make more sense.
Looking at his scene in the trailer, his head doesn't stick up nearly as far as it does on the figure, which is a little weird. I agree about the shoulder pieces becoming part of the truck front, that's pretty cool!
Posted by Bumblevivisector on January 12th, 2023 @ 12:46am CST
Arm cannon looks like a cross between Omega Supreme's and Mega Man's, while the rest is like steampunk Beowulf. The neck might be my favorite part, like a part of a torch or exhaust repurposed as mail.
I could end up buying as many toys for this movie as AofE!

Wasted emotion. Going by the info released so far, it will be garbage.Solrac333 wrote:Yeah, I'm passing on all of these. Hope the movie is good.
As for this figure, the truck mode looks pretty good, though I do wish there was more color variety. The robot mode? Not so much. Again, it would be nice if the colors were broken up a little. The legs are too skinny and the back is suffering the same problem that AoE Galvatron had. I do like the head, looks pretty menacing. Overall, I might pick it up on discount. Definitely not a $60 figure.
Posted by Bumblevivisector on January 12th, 2023 @ 1:12am CST
So, a tad generic in the end, but way better than any of the RotF fembikes, in my book.
I still like this toy for what she is, but hopefully we'll get a more accurate SS toy later on.

Still, I like Scourge overall and I'll be sure to pick him up. Plus I'm sure there will be an upgrade kit to improve him down the line.
I'm looking forward to Leader Optimus Primal to see if he'll be worthy of the "leader" class, of if he'll just be a voyager plus accessories.

The kibble on the back of the alt mode bugs me, but maybe in hand I would be able to ignore it more (as is often the case when handling a toy versus scrutinizing an image for flaws)

thats exactly what I was thinking. not just lockdown, just animated in general with his proportions.

Definitely feels like Lockdown and "classic" Scourge's child.
I'm thinking Freezer might also work as one of his replaceable arms. Also interesting that Scourge's back panels on each side aren't symmetrical and the one on the left is larger and has an interesting tab on it, maybe another place for Freezer to attach to?

The back of the alt mode can clean up nicely. Better than what we got lately (I just could not get over that Galvatron in hand)
What you saw in the first pics is them trying to recreate the look in the film where he has a bunch of scrap in the back.My issue with the alt mode is that gap/hole around the nose area.

What other lines do you buy? While the other lines do tempt me, I always feel ripped off when looking at the price, especially for Star Wars stuff (in either scale).

yegah that looks pretty bad or obvious, seeing the movie pic the barrel not being under the smoke stacks/no door step probaly due to transformation looks off too. At least if the door step was in the right place the barrels could be improvised/upgraded.

The price creeps on all hasbro stuff is even more offputting but I think I've just been a bit transformered out recently -I like some TF toys in every range from botbots, rescuebots to SS or MP.
My other Hasbro stuff is
Power Rangers lightning collection,
GI joe classified even if they dont want people outside the states collecting them,
GI Joe original scale (not bothered if O-ring or not),
D&D cartoon and others (I'll wait to get Huge Grunt cheap to have him forever melting inside the gelatinous cube),
Recently started on marvel legends because I'm an idiot,
also started on Star Wars Retro because of how bad modern media for star wars is to me and I have had all the POTF vehicles I gave to my son come back to me for storage (slave 1, falcon, queens spaceship etc). I was happy enough with having the WOTC minis before another moment of madness.
I'm even tempted for some of the Indy stuff
Also on a side note, I saw in a store today the star wars vintage collection Bo Katana? spelling unknown to me, and her arms can give any optimus primal a challange in ape like proprtions eeeeeewwww.

Hasbro should tell them that whatever designs are shown have to be final so they can have the product out at the same time as the movie that LOOKS like it came from the movie. Transformers is Hasbro's property, they should have more control.
Which specific toy are you referring to? Scourge and Arcee look pretty close to what we've seen. I ask because the discrepancy may simply be due to toy limitations and not the time factor. Like Scourge's truck mode. That didn't change and yet we see some innacuracies, like the missing gas tank.
Though I am curious to see how wildly different some toys get from the final designs, like all the Hatter toys in the BB line having that mask that she never has in the film.
