Fellow Seibertronian Whirlkick has found some Rise of the Beasts toys in the UK at Smyth's. You can read their report below. We also have reports of the 2 Beast Mode Bumblebee and Optimus toys out at Smyth's in Gillingham, first posted here by TFMJ where we can see them next to various other ROTB toys like the Smash Changers.

"The RoTB mainline figures are now available in different places the UK, such as Smyth's and The Entertainer. It seems the embargo date was April 10th so the floodgates have now opened!

The figures are showing as available on the Smyth's website, which includes figures like the mainline deluxes. When I was at Smyth's in Watford today, none of the figures were out on the shelves yet, as they hadn't yet allocated space for the new figures as there's so many of them and so little shelf space for Transformers. The UK community should keep an eye out for TF sales for non-ROTB figures at Smyth's!
I had to ask someone working there to get the figures from the back for me, which they did. I bought the mainline deluxe Bee and the Optimus/Chainclaw pack. I've included some photos, including a side by side of mainline Bee with SS Bee."

So unless something odd happened behind the scenes during the movie delay, one can expect this Bulkhead-esque mode for Prime to show up in the movie at some point.

Now, if I were a gambling man, I'd say Legacy Bulkhead might end up being used as the basis for this Prime in Studio Series much like AirRazor.

Also, yes this is harkening back had to Beast Hunters Prime, which kind of make sense, in the movie context.

I just hope we get an actual Voyager or Leader version of this in SS. It looks fairly interesting.

Also that lion head and the blue wing things are giving this Prime a Brave vipe. A little bit.

I like how optimus' design seems to be a nod to beast hunters prime

Just noticed Beast mode Prime has lights and sounds. How long has it been since we've had a toy with lights and sounds?

"I am Optimus Prime!!!!!" :lol:

For standard retail (and non "collector") releases, this is honestly shaping up to be a pretty good selection!
Considering how fiddly the SS figures can be, it's pretty nice to have cheaper and simpler figures available too.

Me, myself, and I will probably wait for said SS releases but I think these are some solid choices for the youngsters or people who want something cheaper + simpler.

I got the battle masters single packs last week, and the battle masters two-packs are coming from Amazon on Wednesday. I don't like the movie toys in general, but they have so many different feature types that there's usually at least a few that I'll decide to get just for fun.

The previous movie line (Bumblebee) had a toy with lights and sound too. All movie lines have them.

Since the Rise of the Beasts toyline is using new names for their size classes in the more gimmicky toys, fans have been a bit puzzled as to the size. It also doesn't help that the limited articulation makes it hard to tell if a toy is deluxe, scout or even legion sized. Hopefully the reviews below help clarify that for the Battle Changer class. We've seen reviews for Optimus and Bumblebee since last year and now we have some for Rhinox and Mirage. Enjoy!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I think Mirage is supposed to be part of Wave 02 but with the way figures are being released, who knows? Regardless, Mirage is a really fun, simple transforming interpretation of the character in the film. The flip-out weapon gimmick is fun and doesn't take away from the rest of the figure. I'd like to see the Battle Changer Class transcend the movie line and become the new entry point class in the future.

And here are review for Optimus and Bumblebee if you need a refresher.

Toysrus stores across the Canadian nation have waited until the 10th to put the Rise of the Beasts toys on shelves, since that is the official release date. Below you will see images of what they had, which includes Battle Masters, Battle Changers (the wave including Mirage), Beast Combiners, Nerf gun Optimus, Smash and Change figures and role play masks.
