News from the Rise of the Beasts toyline just keeps piling. In the world right now, the two waves of voyager class figures are being released simultaneously. Which makes sense as all these toys were produced last year and are only now making their way to retailers all at once. We saw that voyagers Primal and Prime were found in Mexico and now we have Pre (repack) and Rhinox found in Australia at KMart. That same sighting also shows us more single packed deluxe figures, like Bumblebee who we had only seen in that three pack. The images below come from Tf fan Ratchet 208.
In other sightings news, a new Mirage toy was found in the US and on E-bay. It is part of the Battle Changers assortment, which are similar to the mid sized Authentics toys.

With these coming off Instagram, my page per say @transformers.snapshots , i really would have expected some mention or recognition. I have posted there ALL my photos for mainline primal and even Optimus along with ALL the other mainline and SS. I do Hope this can be edited with a proper Mention. Much appreciated!.

Of course, no surprise, the beast mode acts as extra parts to create a super robot mode with beast elements. In this case, it is a white lion, which is a great choice given the existence of Leo Prime. You can see the images below. You'll notice that Prime here has the same alt mode we've seen for most of the line, which is an off road truck.

You'll also notice the absence of the main villain, Scourge, in these more kid friendly lines. Well, there's more of him coming. We now have images of Battle Changers Scourge (simple conversion toy between scout and deluxe class) and Beast Changer Scourge (with Scorponok armor). We also have images of the rest of the single released deluxes. So now you have even more options to buy everyone's favourite Bespectacled Autobot, Wheeljack.

Canada is the only country respecting the street date for some reason, so cone next week we should be seeing a lot of new stuff on shelves.

We also have the stock images for the deluxe toys, the Voyager toys, Battle Changers Mirage and the Wheeljack two pack
Enjoy!

"The RoTB mainline figures are now available in different places the UK, such as Smyth's and The Entertainer. It seems the embargo date was April 10th so the floodgates have now opened!
The figures are showing as available on the Smyth's website, which includes figures like the mainline deluxes. When I was at Smyth's in Watford today, none of the figures were out on the shelves yet, as they hadn't yet allocated space for the new figures as there's so many of them and so little shelf space for Transformers. The UK community should keep an eye out for TF sales for non-ROTB figures at Smyth's!
I had to ask someone working there to get the figures from the back for me, which they did. I bought the mainline deluxe Bee and the Optimus/Chainclaw pack. I've included some photos, including a side by side of mainline Bee with SS Bee."

Now, if I were a gambling man, I'd say Legacy Bulkhead might end up being used as the basis for this Prime in Studio Series much like AirRazor.
Also, yes this is harkening back had to Beast Hunters Prime, which kind of make sense, in the movie context.
I just hope we get an actual Voyager or Leader version of this in SS. It looks fairly interesting.

Considering how fiddly the SS figures can be, it's pretty nice to have cheaper and simpler figures available too.
Me, myself, and I will probably wait for said SS releases but I think these are some solid choices for the youngsters or people who want something cheaper + simpler.

The previous movie line (Bumblebee) had a toy with lights and sound too. All movie lines have them.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:I think Mirage is supposed to be part of Wave 02 but with the way figures are being released, who knows? Regardless, Mirage is a really fun, simple transforming interpretation of the character in the film. The flip-out weapon gimmick is fun and doesn't take away from the rest of the figure. I'd like to see the Battle Changer Class transcend the movie line and become the new entry point class in the future.
And here are review for Optimus and Bumblebee if you need a refresher.

Speaking of articulation, if you are curious to know how articulated the real Smash and Change toy is, here is a review for you below (spoiler alert: it has 0 points of articulation). We do get a good size comparison though.
Enjoy all the videos!
