While Rise of the Beasts is not written on this toy's packaging, this Smash Changer Optimus Prime was initially listed as a Movie 7 toy and the listing later got turned into a toy for the Cyberverse line. Regardless, this toy still depicts Optimus Prime in the robot mode from Rise of the Beasts and it is now available in stores in the US and on Amazon in the $30 price range. There have been sightings in Meijer and Walmart stores, all within the past week.

Original listing for retailer:
TRA MV7 Smash Changers Optimus Prime

Current listing for retailers:
TRA Cyberverse Smash Changers Optimus Prime

It should also be known that not all ROTB toys are going to become Cyberverse toys. There are upcoming ROTB One Steps that will be coming out in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line in about a month, so maybe then we will get even more early designs.

Why do I like this figure? I don't want to like it but I do based strictly off of photos.
I need to watch a review but the gimmick seems fun

Lots of random Transformers Rise of the Beasts news to get to and they all relate to the mass market toys aimed at kids. Thanks to TF fan in the know Silver Optimus, we have some news regarding one of the more enigmatic listings we've had in the line: Beast Mode Bumblebee. Three full containers of just this toy arrived in ports, so we know it's coming and in big amounts. And we also know that it is 2 per case, meaning that it will be a big toy, like other Transformers toys packed 2 per case (leader class bots). So expect Beast Mode Bumblebee to be a big ticket kid friendly toy, similar to the Power Charge Bumblebee we got in the Bumblebee movie toyline. We still have no idea what animal it turns into.

Speaking of Bumblebee, the same source states that the one steps made for the Rise of the Beasts toyline have been repackaged to be in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee toyline. This is a bit more unexpected since these toys are the type that we find everywhere during a movie line, ever since Age of Extinction. It could be that the ones released now will be in that Target exclusive line while they will be rereleased in the actual Rise of the Beasts toyline next year. We'll see if these pop up before the end of the year, and there is some excitement for them since that would be a way for us to see the movie designs early.

Lastly, there is a new listing for ROTB Flex Changers. Hasbro does have a Bend and Flex subline it uses for other properties so it could simply be that they will be incorporating Transformers characters into it. Some of the toys in this line already have transforming elements, like vehicles turning into armour.
The specific listings for these are:
Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Flex Changers Cheetor (Hasbro Code: F4639)
Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts Flex Changers Nightbird (Hasbro Code: F4638)

Like I said, we need help with the news. So if you find a story you'd like posted or shared with the community, write an article here (in your own words) and send us the link so we can refine it and post it.

The "Big" Hasbro investors event was today but sadly, there wasn't much in it for fans. There was indeed a trailer for Rise of the Beasts but it was a closed door event, it wasn't released for the general public. There were a few slides pertaining to Rise of the Beasts. They unveiled Optimus's "new" look, which is mostly the look we had already seen both in Bumblebee and in previously revealed merchandise. The big difference are those plates above his chest windows.

We also have a very tiny image of a mock up for the display in the toy aisle for the ROTB toyline, with a big Optimus cutout. Hasbro is going hard on merchandise and toys for both the ROTB film and Earthspark, as can be seen on one of the slides below. Both toylines are aimed at children, while there will be some ROTB characters in the Studio Series line that older fans can also enjoy alongside kids.

Speaking of Earthspark, it was confirmed that the show will have a second season coming as well, and the same slide showing us the ROTB cutout also has out first look at Spin Changer Optimus' alt mode. And in other Transformers media news, they confirmed that there is still an animated Transformers movie coming out in 2024. We have selected the images and slides that may be of importance below. Some of the images come from TFW2005.com.

Saw this on some Youtbe comments; nice to see that Optimus is still doing similar poses as before.

Comment by Rodimus Prime Oct 4, 2022

I have hopes for the animated '24 movie.

RoTB will be a streaming viewing in a couple of years, I just don't have any enthusiasm for it at all. So far only Scourge intrigues me. Maybe future reveals will change that.

Pretty much same with Earthspark. If I like it once it's out, I might get into it. So far, no vibes at all, good or bad.

While so far we have seen Smash and Change Optimus Prime in stores, we just got news that there will be at least 2 more toys like this coming out for the Rise of the Beasts (or Cyberverse line). Whichever line they are packaged in, they will definitely be the Rise of the Beasts designs, at least the preliminary ones. Thanks to a report from Silver Optimus, we know we will get a Rhinox and Optimus Primal done in the same gimmick/style. It will be interesting to see how animals are done in this gimmicky transformation of smashing down a figure. Below are the listings for the toys in this subgroup. They are all currently on US shores though we do not know when Primal and Rhinox will appear at retail.

A very SHORT video review of Airaizor:

Brett Rothe has posted a quick transformation video of Rise of the Beasts deluxe Airazor on youtube. They reached out to us directly to inform us and we thank them for the heads up. The transformation is quite ingenious since it completely removes a large chunk of the wings from the robot mode by having a part of them become the robot mode legs. This would have been a better transformation for making both Kingdom Airazor and Terrorsaur more cartoon accurate since their robot modes on the show had their wings either reduced or completely removed.

"What Was Michael Bay thinking when he made the original Transformers series?"

Bay did not make the movie designs. He was not the sole person in charge of everything.

You know everyone likes to blame him for everything despite their being many, many hands in the pot. The only major script decisions people can blame on him is Revenge of the Fallen since he finished the script due to the writers strike of 08

He's always been the face of those movies and he has chosen it to be that way. So I get why people keep blaming him for everything.

Now does this mean it can also be seen as him shielding everyone (even if inadvertently) from the abuse?

Nah, just as yet another example of people needing one single scapegoat to focus on because paying attention to the multiple(!), more obvious causes is so not done >:oP

It's not intentional, but we know he doesn't mind getting the blame for it. He's beyond it all as is demonstrated with him still involved with the brand and films while not shying away from letting us know.
