First look at Smash and Change Rhinox Toy from Rise of the Beasts

Posted by william-james88 Mar 16, 2023 at 9:12pm CDT 73,093 views
The Transformers Rise of the Beasts toyline is going all in on Rhinox for some reason. While we did see most of the toys he has coming out in the mainline, there was one missing, the Smash and Change one. This is basically the same as the 3 step toys Hasbro has been releasing for years now but with automorphing features. Well, we finally have a good look at him through some photos floating around online of him and Smash and Change Primal. Enjoy!

Rhinox looks great in both modes. Better than the Kingdom one that's for sure to me.

Takara revealed a ton of Rise of the Beasts toys today. Of course, it's the same toys we are getting, but these reveals give us some much needed info. For one, they confirm that we are getting individual releases of the deluxe figures. We did have listings for individual releases but some fans got worried when Hasbro mentioned Target exclusive multipacks including the same figures.

Speaking of exclusives, we have our first look at 3 step Scourge which will be voyager sized, as it is a retool of 3 step Optimus Prime, and that toy will be a Toysrus exclusive in Japan. This is our first look at that figure and it is also our first look at the new 1 step toys we are getting in this line.

The toyline is called Beast Awakening in Japan and the toys are available to order on Amazon Japan and Toysrus Japan.

Nice, I'm glad that Deluxe Bee has a flip out gun.

The deluxe Bee looks a lot better than in Hasbro's photos. The bumper swords are a nice touch.

We have even more Transformers Rise of the Beasts toy news coming from Japan. Firstly, the Scorponok target master figure will be exclusive to Toysrus there, which makes sense as it is a Target exclusive in the US. This official reveal from Takara shows us the alt mode, something we didn't get from Hasbro. We see the bot's Scorpion mode and we see the weapon mode of the scorpion target master.

Also, a big product launch for a toyline in Japan means a new campaign with an exclusive repaint. For these toys, Takara is doing a promotion where they will give away a red clear repaint of the Firedrive target master figure, called "Burning Plasma Blaster", to customers who purchase 5,000 yen (tax included) or more of "Transformers Beast Awakening" related products in store.

I'm not sure what, but my PO on Amazon for the basic toys have pushed up to the end of the month.

The playability of this kids-focus line is pretty good! Some even surpass the Deluxe/Studio Series versions in screen accuracy (Bee, Nightbird).

Most of these looks very good.
I especially like the beast targetmasters.

The only thing that I don't like is that Cheetor who wear shorts in both mode. This look dumb.

Oh and those "one step" Bee and Nightbird are genius! Sure, the vehicle look damaged, but the bots are awesome for what they are.

Ok that Airazor looks good, might be nice to see it retooled into a Beast Wars Airazor as it looks even nicer than the Kingdom mold

I want it retooled (or at least give that transformation) to Terrorsaur. I really love the idea of having nice wings dissapear in robot mode, he needs that.

The beast Targetmasters are uniformly great. Too bad they're bundled into the kids-line figures (which is pretty good tbh, but not for myself) I'd get all of them if they're sold as Core price 2-packs.


And poor Scourge. He got the short end of the design stick, his whole lower-half is OP's.

Cheetor, Rhinox and the crocodile target master are sold individually at least.

i am completely obsessed with the new beast mode Target/Battle Masters, getting all of them hands down. it really helps to that the weapon modes are so weirdly good and nicely detailed?

That Scorponok looks real nice, I am excited for that one.

I am excited for a lot of these, it looks like we are going to have some fun toys to mess with
