First Look at Animatronic Optimus Primal Toy from Rise of the Beasts

Posted by william-james88 May 24, 2023 at 7:41am CDT 34,425 views
We knew we'd be getting an animatronic Optimus Primal toy within the Transformers Rise of the Beasts line and now we have our very first look at it. As assumed from the price being a sliver of the price for a higher end autoconverting toy, like the Robosen bots, this one is very simple, with the main transformation steps being an extension of the legs as the gorilla stands upright and flips back its gorilla head to reveal a robot head.

You can see all the images below, which come from Amazon UK, where it is priced at 128 pounds sterling.

Oh dear.
Another Primal to add to my shelf.

Let's hope there will be plenty of him and he'll be on sale sooner or later.

I was looking for the clip from the beast wars transmute episode in which megatron says
"It cannot not even transform, it is worthless"

Best i can do https://youtu.be/_diuldST6wk?t=679

This movie line has to be a record for Hasbro producing so much CRAP. I mean those shippers at WM and I swing by several stores are still full, Im confused as to who this is for? Kids don't want this crap and apparently neither does WM as it's all already on clearance before the movie even drops. I mean staggering amount of product that looks it will go straight to the landfill in package. Seems like removing plastic from boxes allows them to produce more undesirable plastic product. For the same price kids can get an actual TF right next to the dollar store looking ROTB toys. I really don't get the merchandising for this film it's like any idea goes lets mass produce all of them!!!

If you wanted an answer: yes this is for kids (or more precisely for a parent to buy for a kid). You won't see much movement until after the film's release and closer to the holiday season.

Walmart clearancing some stuff is a side effect of all the product coming at once instead of a stagerred relase for them due to this product having been shelved for a year.

I didn't know you had a Primal shelf. I'm thinking of having one myself. Crazy to see an explosion of Primal products after all these years.

I had another great day at Target

The scorponok is good, very enjoyable. I really like it, and am super glad I got 2 of him! I need to take a new group shot with all of the Terror/Preda-cons.

Primal-master is cool, he makes a nice beefy gun. I need to pair him up with mainline Primal.

Mirage is neat enough, I am glad to finally have a representation of him on the shelf, as he was the last of the main characters that I did not have a toy of until now.

Beast Mode Bumblebee rang up at $15.99, so very glad with that. I was a bit deceived, I really thought he had knees and hips at least. His only articulation is the shoulders, one way elbows, and the head. That said, he is neat, and I am enjoying him for the gimmick toy he is. I think i will get Prime to go with him.

The sounds effects are kinda addicting to set off too

Beast Bee for 16$US?! :shock:

Damn, I'd buy that horrible, horrible thing too if it was cheaper than a deluxe.

Hasbro has not really done big reveals for the actual Rise of the Beasts toyline. That's because the design team working on it is not the one we know of, it is a team separate from Mark, Evan and the other designers that work on the generations brands, and that team is not located at Hasbro HQ in Pawtucket. Which is why it's quite a change of pace to see BMac reveal the latest toy from that toyline in a new video. It is Animatronic Optimus Primal and in the video we can see how it functions.

Not only is this toy revealed today, but it is also available as of today.
Here is the Amazon link where it is available for $125 USD: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-TRA?tag=seibertron07-20& ... 136&sr=8-1

Enjoy!

Too bad that he's so, so expensive.

I'll bid my time and see if some sale comes up.

Well, dang, have another one.

Yolopark made a licenced model kit of RotB Primal in bot mode.

Appart for that big BUCKET on the back of the truck, mainline voyager Optimus is good. REALLY GOOD. he's fun to pose, he feels right in hand, he's fun to transform, and he's just full of details that BEG to be painted.

He'll be worth the effort.

Is he happy to see you? That’s definitely not a gun.

While I know it's easy to buy select Transformers on line I still hold out the hope of finding certain ones in a store. Got lucky today and found Studio Series 98, Cheetor. A big thanks from a tip from another site and went to that Walmart (Springfield, MO) this morning and found two on the shelf. Happy to finally have him in the collection.
