New Images of Rise of the Beasts Deluxe Nightbird Shows how the Weapons form the Spoiler in Alt Mode

Cannot wait to have her, a badass bot mode and a slick alt-mode, a fun reimagining of the character. It might just be me, but her head is reminiscent of BW Scorponok, his toy head at least.

Also I think NightBEAT my be a typo haha

Nightbeat? That's her name? Not Nightbird? I got excited thinking that my favorite Transforming detective was in the film.

Ok, having her weapons form a spoiler is such a cool and genius idea!

That Nightbird sure got a HUGE... upgrade compared to the original.

Not really seeing anything in the RoB lineup that makes me think, "I want to buy one". Guess it's still kind of early, but so far it seems like I'll be voting 'present' for these figures...

Oddly enough I don't hate the look of Wheel Jack, though I'd never but the bot for him I might get it if i see it on sale and call it something else entirely.

So if it's possible to give the Beewun Wheeljack head to the ROTB body, does this mean it's possible to give the ROTB head to the Beewun body? Hmmmmmm

It's not since the peg hole in the ROTB head is too small

As much as I want to like the figs in this line I just can't. More for everyone else!

The more I see of these, the easier it makes me skip this line.

Some modifications might help. The end result will be a sight to behold.

Can't really say I'm a fan of the colour. I wish they used the original grey/silver. Same concern with Wheeljack: nice figure overall, missing the classic paint scheme.

Nightbird's a pass. Quite a bit of good idea (sword as spoiler, the claws, love the headsculpt) thrown into the design, but I find the end result wanting, especially the whole of the car's front as the chest, Datsun bros-style and the top-heavy proportion that I don't like for a fembot (if Hasbro can design her chest like the recent SS Hot Rod that'd be great). But I'll look forward to how she appeared in the movie and hope for a good SS version instead.

Wheeljack, I kind of like the toy design, especially the alt mode. But this has Michael Bay's signature stereotype written all over it ("Oh we're doing Wheeljack? Bring in all the clichés to humiliate all nerds!"). I'm afraid I'll HATE the toy after seeing the movie.

Battletrap's alt mode is great. Bot came out oddly blocky looking though, and has the same top-heavy proportion problem as Nightbird in bot mode, but that's a minor complaint. Should be a get.

The Beasts are all pretty good and are the most exciting part of ROTB for me, in the movie OR the figures.

I’m never adding a movie-verse group to my collection.
The only one of these that is remotely tempting for me is Airazor.
Even though the bot face is a bit cartoonish imo, the molded detail, colors, overall form, and alt mode are all really solid.

One thing I’ll give this line is the variety.
Not just because some have beast alt modes.
But even between Arcee, Wheeljack, Nightbird, Freezer, & Battletrap; they each look unique.
Imo that’s a really good thing.

God I love all of these. I need them all!

Well, I will say Scourge looks pretty cool.

I used to LOVE this franchise (excluding Beast Machines & Animated).

What the hell happened??? I don't even recognize it anymore.

All you post recently is sadness and negativity.

You all right, bro?

Just looked at the Scourge photos in the Toy News section of this site, and man, I am going to be tempted to get that guy.
He has a Lockdown meets TLotR Nazgûl appearance, and I really dig the smaller, asymmetric details, and the dark color scheme.

This definitely has my attention, which is surprising considering the vast majority of times movie figures usually don’t get a second glance.

Screw it, I made a photoshop to fix Beewun Wheeljack. Now he's perfect!

This feels both repulsive and appealing at the same time.

We have found a video review of deluxe Nightbird from the Rise of the Beasts toyline. This toy should be released alongside the Cheetor, Airazor and Wheeljack toy we have previously seen in the Rise of the Beasts toyline. These are not Studio Series figures. These toys are said to have a release date of March 1 though there is still no official news about them from Hasbro. While the title of this review may be nonsense, it gives an idea of the complexity of the figure for those who don't mind having the transformation spoiled. We also have the review for deluxe Cheetor below, which was posted earlier.

Looks like she's carrying a briefcase in her crotch.

And I thought Megatron's trigger was awkward.

No, it simply mean she's packing.

That's uncomfortable to look at.

I forgot to mention that with the size of that briefcase, she follows the rule of a being equipped with a MASSIVE weapon (with infinite ammo, of course.)

Glad to see the EnergonPub hasn't changed lol

Looks like an Interesting figure! Though not fond of the color pallet. Most of the ROTB figures look fun, but would benefit from repaints/ retools like 07, ROTF and hunt for Decepticons toys.

I think she looks good, i like her so far

I probably shouldn't add to this, but dang-it, the one TF fast food tie-in forever deep-fried into my memory is KFC Singapore's DOTM meal actually labeled "Boxmaster". In hindsight, they clearly jumped the gun by 12 years and promoted the wrong movie. To everyone complaining that the name "Terrorcons" has been nonsensically applied to this new motley crew of 'Cons, I now know what their sub-group should've been called.

And if we're hypersexualizing Nightbird, I think it might actually be a functional file cabinet...



...full of Raksha's fanfics.

Seriously, HasTak validates more of her ideas every time Nightbird gets an official toy. It's uncanny.

Oh man thinking on it, ROTB Nightbird's colors aren't far off from the 1995 Nightracer art. Now that would be a Toyhax project!

ROTB deluxe Wheeljack video review, coming from PvP, of course!

Nope.

Brokebot wrote:Nope.

Yup.

We have for you below a review of the upcoming Transformers deluxe Rise of the Beasts Wheeljack. It seems like reports of removable glasses were greatly exaggerated. While they probably can be removed with force, they are not meant to be removeable.
The video is from PrimevsPrime.
He and other fans were able to procure this toy early through asian online marketplaces like this one: https://shopee.ph/Hasbro-Transformers-L ... V06AwhRwFM

There will be a Studio Series release of Wheeljack as well but we have not seen it as it probably is not coming out in the first wave of Studio Series toys from the Rise of the Beasts line.

I still find that Wheeljack toy to be almost perfect. My only beef is the scale of the vehicle may be too small. But that ain't a dealbreaker for me and he will be a sure purchase. I hope Toyhax will come up with a cool Reprolabels sheet to turn him into a new character. Maybe even with a beard we can clip on for the full hippie look.

And I still find it to not be Wheeljack at all, but that junkpile from Bayformers 5, Canopy.




A definite peg-warmer, assuming you find it anywhere at all. I should be grateful to Hasblo for doing everything then can to help me save money.

All right. Try this out. Just call him "Larry Robotson".
This is not Wheeljack, but a brand new character, Larry Robotson.

So, as Larry Robotson, the design, altmode, and bot mode are much better, right?

And if you're so closed-minded that you just refuse to see it as it's own thing, that's on you. If you take pleasure in hating things, you do you. ¯\_( ͡°ヮ ͡°)_/¯

Wheeljack continues to look great, I eagerly anticipate him.

If they used him as a base for Canopy, I would be OK with that, even if I think SS Long Haul would be a better base, maybe as a selects repaint.

Also hoping his alt mode will lead to Dreadbot finally getting a figure.

We're going about this all wrong.

This is clearly the Family Matters × Transformers Collaborative Urkelbot.

Damn. Nearly spot on. It just has to turn into a BMW Isetta instead of a psudo VW van.

I dislike it as it's own thing and as any other thing. Having a different opinion than yours isn't closed-minded. It means I think for myself and have come to an opposite and equally valid viewpoint.

A hidden Xover figure without the extra licensing surcharge? Count me in!

I don't believe you at all. If that character would have been presented as Larry Robotson instead of Wheeljack, you would never had taking it as a "personal insult" and hated it. At worse you would just have been indifferent.

Fortunately for me, what you believe is irrelevant, and had that come out with the name "Larry Robotson," I would have commented that it was given a name as equally moronic as gluing goggles to it's face.

So you admit that I have awesome naming sense!

The derpiest name for the derpiest face!

I agree NOT Wheeljack looks okay, unfortunately I simply don't need some bizarre looking bot due to space issues. I've passed up many a Transformers that I have a passing like for due to that fact.
While neat it just doesn't have that "must buy" vibe for me. Then again none of the live actions Movie bots have.

What about ROTF Mindwipe? Random question, I know, but while movie bots were never my Forte, that one was must buy when I first learnt of its existence.

Honestly don't recall ever seeing Mindwipe, then again ROTF was very forgettable.

Looking at the toy the alt mode looks pretty cool, the bot mode though is way to spindly. But I will say he's not the worst movie TF design I've ever seen.

I actually really like movie Hot Rod but I just don't have a big enough interest to justify the space, I'm already running out and I'm not even finished with G1.

Oh man, that SS Hot Rod is a great toy. Really nice Evolution of the traditional G1 hood of car as chest design. And if you like lambos, well this one's for you.
But I'm easy to please. I even like the SS crosshairs for the simple reason that his trenchcoat is well integrated into the alt mode.
