Video Reviews for Rise of the Beasts Titan Changers Cheetor and Scourge

I'm continuing to enjoy these figures, a lot. These are good and fun

Time for more ROTB with a video review of that absurd Optimus with a lion acting like a chest-burster:

Walmart had this two sided aisle display outside electronics this morning.




There was more in the toy aisle that's been there for a few weeks. Shame they didn't have any more Battle Masters.

Mine remains Tumbleweed City.

While I did find them at Walmart, it wasn't in the tf aisle but in that random aisle they use to put overstock.

The Cyberverse packaged version of RotB Smash Changer Optimus Prime is on clearance at Target now, certainly making room for the movie version.

Something rather interesting in the Rise of the Beasts line is how it offers alternatives to the Studio Series line, or vice versa, since all toys are coming out all at once, unlike what was originally planned.

For those curious, we have review for the deluxe Bumblebee which is available in a Target exclusive 3 pack and sold on its own. We also have comparison images between that Bumblebee and the SS 100 ROTB Bumblebee, its counterpart in the Studio Series line. Knowing that both are available individually, which you do you prefer and which would you go for?

We thank Chuckdawg 1999 and Whirlkick for the images and reviews. Chuckdawg's review of Bumblebee also looks at the Flex Changers which was released in the US along with the initial wave of ROTB toys.

These are exactly the same as the US releases but with stickers on the packaging for the Japanese market. What is different is the price, both figures shipped cost less than what Deluxe Bumblebee goes for on eBay. Flex Changers Bumblebee is really fun and is the definition of a desk toy. Deluxe Bumblebee, unfortunately, doesn't live up to my expectations and doesn't feel fun in my hands, stick with the Studio Series version.

The undercarriage under the car mode is D8SGUSTANG.
But the fact that both the SS and main line Bees have a vehicle m9de tha5 are the same size, but the main line Bee is 1.5 times BIGGER than the SS one is pretty impressive.

I may be more interested in getting the main Bee than the SS one. The SS already have some undercarriage in vehicle mode with h8s arms anyway. So might as well get a "proper" deluxe rather than a scout pretending to be a deluxe.

So far, only the and will have mainline "normal" figure, and Nightbird who is the only villain.

I would have loved to see what a "voyager" Scourge would have been?

No one mentioned that PvP has posted his video review of the big Bumblebee Bird Thing.

So, allow me.

I'm honestly surprised we aren't seeing more missing heads in the line so far. Heck, I've knocked off Battle Master Cheetor's feet enough times that I wouldn't be surprised if they just fell off and out of the package on their own.

Yep, and it's affecting other lines too. There was an Across the Spiderverse Spider-Punk figure without a head there too.

Also, who just walks by and rips off a window from Prime. Or did it fall off in transit somewhere?
