While these toys have been around for a couple of weeks, we haven't had the time to post all the reviews for every toy found in the Rise of the Beasts toyline, but we'll get to them all. Here are reviews for the two other Beast Combiners, Arcee and Bumblebee. Both are simplified deluxe figures which have a rather large animal friend that turns into armor. Hopefully these reviews help you see what is in store for those curious about the figures.
Bumblebee
Arcee
And we also have another review of both those sets from Chuckdawg1999 who also had this to say about them:
chuckdawg1999 wrote:If you liked Optimus Primal then there's more of the same here with Arcee and Bumblebee, literally, their beast partners share tooling. Obviously, Arcee and Bee are far more involved with their transformations than Primal. Each set offers its own positives and negatives so it's ultimately up to you which character you like the best.
The Rise of the Beasts toyline was released in full force this week across the globe. However, since we never got a press release from Hasbro detailing all the different classes within the line, it's a bit tough to make sense of it all. So we have compiled a list of the different classes within the toyline when it comes to the action figure segment of it, along with images to show you which is which. And remember, this is just the mainline, the line aimed at kids and collectors alike, rather than just kids, is the Studio Series line which will have all these same characters.

We have reports of several toys from the Transformers Rise of the Beasts main toyline being found or now in the hands of US fans.
From our own Seibertronian, Ig89ninja, we have reports of the Beast Alliance Beast Combiners found at their local Target. Those include Bumblebee & Snarlsaber, Arcee & Silverfang and Optimus Primal & Skullcruncher, they are $21.99. We also have in hand images from TF Fan Sponge who found them at a Target in Texas and also provided the receipt with DCPI. We see through their images that the armours are interchangeable with the robots.
Ig89ninja also found the Target exclusive 3 pack that includes deluxe Nightbird, Cheetor and Wheeljack. So great news for fans of that design. That 3 pack is $59.99.
Lastly, the Optimus primal and Optimus Prime Beast Alliance Beast Weaponizers 2-Packs have come in from Amazon.com and been delievered to US fans. They were $14.94 and we have a review for Optimus Primal with Arrowstripe.
Takara revealed a ton of Rise of the Beasts toys today. Of course, it's the same toys we are getting, but these reveals give us some much needed info. For one, they confirm that we are getting individual releases of the deluxe figures. We did have listings for individual releases but some fans got worried when Hasbro mentioned Target exclusive multipacks including the same figures.
Speaking of exclusives, we have our first look at 3 step Scourge which will be voyager sized, as it is a retool of 3 step Optimus Prime, and that toy will be a Toysrus exclusive in Japan. This is our first look at that figure and it is also our first look at the new 1 step toys we are getting in this line.
The toyline is called Beast Awakening in Japan and the toys are available to order on Amazon Japan and Toysrus Japan.
The new Transformers Studio Series Rise of the Beasts are coming into the hands are more and more eager fans. Airazor has just been found in Canadian Gamestops across the country and Amazon has shipped out some of the figures as well. that's how out friend Chuckdawg1999 got his hands on the figures and he has a review of them below. Like that you can see if these figures are for you or not. We also have a review of Battletrap from blurrprime, another member of our community, which we wanted to showcase. Enjoy!
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Core Class Arcee is a great figure. I'm amazed how much detail Hasbro could pack into such a small figure. Transformation is simple but satisfying, it's nice to see the arms properly transformed unlike in the preview pics. I'm curious how they could refine this transformation at a larger scale if at all. Arcee is definitely worth the purchase.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:I wasn't expecting to like ROTB Cheetor, but I was pleasantly surprised by a simple transformation that's still fun, and a very clean Cheetah and robot mode. From what has been shown in trailers the paint deco is fairly accurate to the movie, now we wait to see how much screen time this big cat gets.
chuckdawg1999 wrote:Well, this is an interesting little guy! While I'm not sure how it'll be handled in the film, Freezer has three weapon modes, including one that combines with the soon-to-be-released-not-sure-when Leader Class Scourge. Out of the three, I think the hand-held rifle is my favorite as I see it as the most useful. The robot mode is interesting but the loose joints and oddly molded legs make it hard to hold a pose. I recommend it just for the weapon modes alone.
We have some news regarding the new Rise of the Beasts core class figures coming out in the Studio Series line. Below you will find a video review of Arcee. Also, both her and Freezer are out in Hong Kong, which gives us a look at Freezer's packaging. On it we can see its CG model. We also see that he has the Museum as a backdrop giving us a clue as to when in the film we will see this character. That image was posted on Twitter but we also have more in hand images from Pixelmaster.
We saw the new voyager class Optimus Prime and Rhinox from the Rise of the Beasts toyline the other day, but just in their boxes. Now, we can see them clearly in alt mode and robot mode. And we also see them compared to the previous toys of the same character and in both cases we can see how these are completely new toys. We even get a video review of Optimus Prime in Chinese.
Just to clarify, these are NOT Studio Series toys, but mainline toys. While they will be the same price as Studio Series voyagers, they are based on different designs given to the Hasbro toy development teams since these toys were being made much before the Studio Series toys.
Also, while we are getting a Studio Series Rhinox, the voyager Optimus Prime in the Studio Series line will only be available through the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line at Target. To go with these images, we also have new stock images from the Studio Series line. These show the packaging and background for Cheetor, Arcee, Bumblebee and Battletrap.
The images of Rhinox come from 劉宗岳 and Guo Sheng Wu. The images of Optimus come from 邱合成. The stock images form from Hasbro Korea.
Hasbro is releasing more Rise of the Beasts toyline content to showcase upcoming product. Today we have new videos showing the transformation for the Smash and Change Optimus Primal and transforming Bumblebee mask.
This makes it the 4th Optimus primal toy and Bumblebee toy revealed in the mainline so far, though we know they will each get more toys.
These simpler toys, like Primal, sold well in the past as they offer larger toys with quick conversions for kids, we'll see if that trend continues with the introduction of Beast Wars characters for a new generation.
Also, thanks to Twitter user Azalben, we have an image showcasing the packaging for this toyline.
We have A LOT of news to get through. While none of what we will show below targets older fans, maybe with the exception of the Jada products, it is fun to finally see all the Transformers Rise of the Beasts products that will be coming to shelves this year. Through IGN, we got the reveal of the Battle Changers, Beast Weaponizers, Beast Combiners, and Beast Battle Masters. Below you will see the item descriptions and images.
