Image of ROTB Freezer's Alt Mode + Links to Preorder today's Reveals and Exclusive BW Iguanus

It was pretty odd to be able to order a new Transformers toy today and have no image of its alt mode. Well, a photo has surfaced from Hasbro, showing one of Freezer's 3 weapon modes. It gives the idea of a cybertronian turret/howitzer. While the two new core class figures are available on Pulse, they also put a listing for the Walmart exclusive Beast Wars Iguanus reissue. It is $24.99.

Here are the links:

Sometimes I genuinely miss the old SW-X-overs line.

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 wonder if they didn't show the alt mode pics because they took pics of the alt modes interacting with other figures, like how the various Weaponizer types showed pics of themselves arming other figures, and the other figures they chose are ones they haven't revealed yet from the wave (which wouldn't be hard considering they've only shown Bee and Battletrap).

With a clear look at Freezer, I adore him, he looks really neat.

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.

She has wheel feet, the best possible feature for bike bots. I don't collect live-action SS but I might have to make an exception for her.

King Samlock on Instagram has lots of interesting new bits regarding the newly revealed SS Rise of the Beasts Arcee toy. We learned that the movie designs did indeed change from what Hasbro was shown when designing the Studio Series toys. For instance, they were never shown that she had a visor. One very interesting tidbit was the link to "Bayverse" (that specific term is used) Arcee. The alt mode in this film was meant to be the period accurate super bike variant of the alt mode that Arcee has in Revenge of the Fallen.

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!

The more of these Rise of the Beasts figures I see the less I want them.

Pretty big news in for Transformers toys fans, we now have great shots of the upcoming Studio Series Leader Rise of the Beasts Scourge figure. He and Primal will be the only leader class toys from the film. We see him in his truck mode an robot mode at a variety of angles and great close ups of his head. His left arm can change configuration while his right arm has a giant blade affixed to the forearm that can be held.

The images come from Sonic Bomber-Core, let us know what you think.

I'm really loving that alt mode integration with the shoulders and chest. The transformation is surprisingly not that complex but still gives two great looking modes. And it's interesting how the cannon splits into 3 parts for the alt mode, though I'd probably remove those parts alltogether. I'd like to see a shot without those bits

Dang, he’s got an enormous neck xD

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 mask has some real MF Doom vibes, but otherwise this is not for me.

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!

Damn, that does indeed scream Scourge while doing something original.

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!

Yeah, I'm passing on all of these. Hope the movie is good.

Wasted emotion. Going by the info released so far, it will be garbage.

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.
