New Images of Rise of the Beasts Toys Give us First Look at Optimus Primal

Posted by william-james88 Mar 15, 2022 at 9:52am CDT 62,782 views
Remember the Bumblebee movie line? It was entirely aimed at kids with lot of gimmicks. Well the Rise of the Beasts line will mostly be the same. We saw the 3 step Optimus a month back and now we see Optimus Prime in a different scale along with Optimus Primal and a Tigatron accessory which serves as a weaponiser.

While the toys may not excite fans, what is exciting is that this is our very first look at Optimus Primal from Rise of the Beasts. Of course, it is likely that the final movie model will look different BUT this does give us an indication that they are being closer to the original designs than the Bayverse bots were in the first movie. It also gives us an idea of scale, meaning that Prime and Primal would be around the same size, as has been the standard scale of late. You'll also notice that this Optimus Prime toy also turns into the same off road truck mode as the previous toy. These should be released through the Cyberverse line this year. The Images come from a Chefatron review.

That Primal looks great even if it is super simple. Guess I'll be shelling out for Movie Maximals now.

Even this Primal has an interesting transformation to him. I really like him. Might just pick him up while we wait for thew actual movie line.

Tigatron relegated to a filleted crossbow... the indignity.



Anybody getting as feeling that the Legacy Bulkhead repaint is going to just be movie Optimus Prime? The similarities are uncanny.

Yeah, big similarities and we are indeed going to get a Prime redeco of Bulkhead, though I don't think it will be for the movie, since there aren't any voyager movie toys for ROTB coming out this year. I think it's just a coincidence.

As for the Primal toy, I too find that transformation fun. It's a total cheat but it works and I think my 4 year old will have a lot of fun with it.

This is getting me pumped for the eventual studio series figures, since that is one cool looking primal design. Also, I am surprised to see Tigatron, he wasn't said to be in the film nor in the listings.

It's neat that Prime has one of his Bayverse Energon swords! Wonder if he'll use them in the movie.

Primal is looking pretty good. It's nice that they stayed true to the original version. And the tiger/cannon accessory is neat too.

Its too coincidental that movie Prime has such a similar alt mode. I know there are no large movie figures coming out this year as far as we know, but we also don't know when that Bulkhead Reduce is supposed to come out exactly. They may try something like the "Preview" or "First Edition" figures of previous movie lines.

You joke, but I would not put it past Hasbro to do something like that. 2 birds with one... Prime so to speak.

Who said I was (completely) joking? ;)

Optimus Primal has a nice enough design, I wasn't expecting him to be this accurate to the original, but I suppose I should've seen it coming with how close to G1 the robots in Bumblebee look. Though his gorilla mode, namely the green eyes, the mouth and the shape of the head, looks quite a lot like Lockdown. I do hope the design of the gorilla in the actual movie changes as time goes on so it looks less like this.
I was surprised to see Tigatron here, I do wonder if he'll be in the movie or if he's just a toyline -only character. I'm also curious to see if he'll have a proper robot mode or if he'll just be a Battlemaster type robot like this toy.

It may be possible that Bulkhead was created to reuse the engineering (and slap out another Prime using the same engineering).

We will get a Prime from that Bulkhead, but it won't be for this movie according to the leaks

That Tigatron/crossbow would be pretty cool (and much better utilized) repainted or customized as a Catgut or Lionizer targetmaster/actionmaster weapon. Heck...even seeing it as one of the many cassette-cats such as Ravage or Stripes would be great as well. :D

Well, as a supporter of the franchise in general, I hope they do well. But I won't be getting any, unless I see better than what they've shown so far.

I was never a fan of the whole 'rotate the feet so the heel is the toe and the toe is the heel' thing. That's just lazy, no matter which line is using it. For this Optimus Primal, it doesn't look like they 'transform' the legs at all, except for spinning the feet around.

That Primal looks like a fun toy, I'm also betting that Tigatron is toy only at this point.
