One immediate problem was she does not have her bike front. That is really annoying. But, I kinda don't care too much, she shines in bot mode, and her bike front would just make her more kibbly. I like her as she is.
I also have her my other cheetor, it gives her Prime Arcee like arm blades.
She also looks really good with smash changer Rhinox, who is proving to be one of my favorites from the line. He is very versatile with photos, and his Rhino mode just rules.

Agreed, something to mix it up some that wasn't just dropping paint apps

I would have preferred that vehicle mode over what we got in the movie. It would have also be a great Beast Hunters reference.

Upgrading into that form, even temporarily through some Transwarp Key shenanigans (it's a TF movie, it doesn't have to make sense) for the climax would have been better than Scourge being suddenly weaker despite being closer to Unicron. Surely they must have planned to use that design at some point in the movie, why else would they have made so many figures based on it?

With the extra T.Rhinox, Pablo can DOUBLE COCK-N-BALLS!
Pablo's transformation is a wee bit fiddly, but is very well done and "complete". His only overall flaw is the lack of paint.
Also, the rhinos are surprisingly in scale with Pablo's vehicle.

Man I wish I had a local Ross. T.J. Maxx may be the same company, but they rarely get anything worthwhile. Checking last Sunday they didn't have a single Transformer, they barely had any brand name toys of any kind, mostly generic stuff.

I rarely get to see anything new at Ross, and that Battletrap is one of the 4 figures I still want from the line. Ugh!
I did at least get Scourge from Amazon

Right before I was going to check out I noticed some angelic Cherub had pulled off Lionizer's head and it was lost. I had no time to find an employee to see if they had another one in the back or inform them of the vandalism. This will probably be the ONLY time I'll see the figure and the only way I'd be able to get it at US retail.
It's available at Canadian Amazon but I dunno if you'll be able to import it.

Dang, sounds like the situation with my Arcee

Also, have some Birdgun
also also, Mainline Prime looks great with the Axe. Mainline prime is still far and away the superior toy

He is awesome but there's one glaring flaw. That neck-head panel for bot mode is ultra tight. So tight that I didn't know the thing moved so I couldn't properly get to the gorilla mode. After a video, I learned how the thing worked. But that panel is relatively thin and you must FORCE-SNAP it in place. That's a scary step.
Appart that, this leader FELLS and have the SIZE of a "real" leader. Nice.

Prime is my favorite of the Beast Combiners. His above average articulation for the line and multi-step transformation is a nice change, plus both figures look really good. But my overall favorite is Scourge. He's a little too brown as a stand alone bot, but his alt mode is nice, the scorpion is really nice, and the combined mode blends together into a really cool looking monstrous figure. Scourge reminds me of those Beast Wars concepts that never happened. Trying to find some pics to compare to it, but the searches are being bogged down by movie stuff and the upcoming SS Megatron figure.

No, they have not been released individually in the US. They did land in ports and were sent to Target, but Target never stocked them in stores.
Do we know why or is it just one of those mysteries of collecting?
FYI, still a mystery

And surprisingly didn't show up at liquidators like I'm sure a lot of people expected (I know I did). I still want that Airrazor. Did the second three pack ever show up at Target? I only ever saw the first one.

It did, just not in high numbers. If the figures were going to show up at liquidation stores it might happen closer to the spring.

My guess is that second 3 pack will never happen. But like for the small Airrazor gun-shield, I bet that if I import the remaining individual mainline deluxes from Amazon.JP, with high shipping fees, Murphy will make them available at Amazon.CA some weeks later just to spite me.

Found the 3-pack in stores, I managed to see every RotB mainline toy at retail eventually.
Individual releases, not sure what happened.
Posted by Emerje on March 11th, 2024 @ 3:02am CDT
March 2024 and they decide to feature those awful ROTB walkie-talkies. It's a step in the right direction, but just put those stupid things on clearance instead. And yes, that's the only Transformers thing in the sale.

Understandable.
Not only they do look neat, but they are FULL METAL.
If I'd had the money and I lived in a large mansion, I'd buy one or two myself.
