I'm also excited for that Laserbeak, having that pink Bee doppleganger will be fun

I can understand the molding hole behind the head and on the inner limbs.

But what's up with those huge holes on the car's hood? Those makes absolutely no sense.

Supposedly it's for weapons that will come with the Bee version.

I do wonder if a future Bee version will have the hood top Gatling guns.

I suppose so too that there will be a "stealth mode Bee light edition", but this gives Laserbeak-the-pink-Bee the short end of the stick.

Cheers for the upload! Another great review from a legit, "grass roots" TF reviewers and YouTuber!

I've got the original Japanese repaint, so I wonder which one has the most authentic shade of pink to the film version? Also, which mold is "better" for this character? Is it worth double-dipping?

I got the Fallen in tonight. There will be more of him coming this week, but first impression is: he is pretty dang neat. They gave him a great glowup

He sent it by email with just an image. However, I also know that these have popped up in Virginia.

I finally got sludge. Holy crap is he a piece of crap. Legs are so wobbly. Pieces just fall off. Be ashamed hasbro. Instructions are wrong, I had to youtube a video to figure out the transformation. If I had my receipt, he'd be going back.

We have some pretty big news, both for movies and toys. We FINALLY have images of one of the more complex toys of a Rise of the Beasts character, Airazor. It is deluxe class BUT we do not know if it is mainline deluxe class (so part of the actual movie line) OR if it is from the Studio Series line. The person who posted the images here is guessing Studio Series but we do not know yet. This does also give us a first look at what was said a year ago, that the Maximals would have a rusted mechanical look to them, almost steampunkish. We see those details here in the hawk mode which is a mix of organic and mechanical parts. While the body has similar details we've come to expect from live action/bayverse designs, the face looks much more smooth than usual. You can see all the images below, enjoy!

That... is a very non-Movieverse-looking robot face.

That is the best looking beast transformer I've seen.

Certainly the best looking bird Transformer I can think of. Looks very good in both modes. Definitely getting her.

Really like that beast mode, robot mode is a bit ... ehhhhh, but damn beast mode looks fantastic.

I'm loving the look of this, the transformation looks fun as well.

Additionally, it's reminded me that I need to re-acquire Energon Divebomb

This looks 10 times better than the Kingdom one. Especially with the bird mode that is way better engineered.

Fingers crossed for a head swap to Beast Machines Silverbolt. Transformation seems pretty close, feather weapons are pretty close, and the beast's head isn't even totally off.
