Some modifications might help. The end result will be a sight to behold.

Wheeljack, I kind of like the toy design, especially the alt mode. But this has Michael Bay's signature stereotype written all over it ("Oh we're doing Wheeljack? Bring in all the clichés to humiliate all nerds!"). I'm afraid I'll HATE the toy after seeing the movie.
Battletrap's alt mode is great. Bot came out oddly blocky looking though, and has the same top-heavy proportion problem as Nightbird in bot mode, but that's a minor complaint. Should be a get.
The Beasts are all pretty good and are the most exciting part of ROTB for me, in the movie OR the figures.

The only one of these that is remotely tempting for me is Airazor.
Even though the bot face is a bit cartoonish imo, the molded detail, colors, overall form, and alt mode are all really solid.
One thing I’ll give this line is the variety.
Not just because some have beast alt modes.
But even between Arcee, Wheeljack, Nightbird, Freezer, & Battletrap; they each look unique.
Imo that’s a really good thing.

He has a Lockdown meets TLotR Nazgûl appearance, and I really dig the smaller, asymmetric details, and the dark color scheme.
This definitely has my attention, which is surprising considering the vast majority of times movie figures usually don’t get a second glance.

This feels both repulsive and appealing at the same time.

I forgot to mention that with the size of that briefcase, she follows the rule of a being equipped with a MASSIVE weapon (with infinite ammo, of course.)

Glad to see the EnergonPub hasn't changed lol
Looks like an Interesting figure! Though not fond of the color pallet. Most of the ROTB figures look fun, but would benefit from repaints/ retools like 07, ROTF and hunt for Decepticons toys.

I probably shouldn't add to this, but dang-it, the one TF fast food tie-in forever deep-fried into my memory is KFC Singapore's DOTM meal actually labeled "Boxmaster". In hindsight, they clearly jumped the gun by 12 years and promoted the wrong movie. To everyone complaining that the name "Terrorcons" has been nonsensically applied to this new motley crew of 'Cons, I now know what their sub-group should've been called.
And if we're hypersexualizing Nightbird, I think it might actually be a functional file cabinet...
...full of Raksha's fanfics.
Seriously, HasTak validates more of her ideas every time Nightbird gets an official toy. It's uncanny.

Oh man thinking on it, ROTB Nightbird's colors aren't far off from the 1995 Nightracer art. Now that would be a Toyhax project!

The video is from PrimevsPrime.
He and other fans were able to procure this toy early through asian online marketplaces like this one: https://shopee.ph/Hasbro-Transformers-L ... V06AwhRwFM
There will be a Studio Series release of Wheeljack as well but we have not seen it as it probably is not coming out in the first wave of Studio Series toys from the Rise of the Beasts line.

A definite peg-warmer, assuming you find it anywhere at all. I should be grateful to Hasblo for doing everything then can to help me save money.

All right. Try this out. Just call him "Larry Robotson".
This is not Wheeljack, but a brand new character, Larry Robotson.
So, as Larry Robotson, the design, altmode, and bot mode are much better, right?
And if you're so closed-minded that you just refuse to see it as it's own thing, that's on you. If you take pleasure in hating things, you do you. ¯\_( ͡°ヮ ͡°)_/¯

If they used him as a base for Canopy, I would be OK with that, even if I think SS Long Haul would be a better base, maybe as a selects repaint.
Also hoping his alt mode will lead to Dreadbot finally getting a figure.

Damn. Nearly spot on. It just has to turn into a BMW Isetta instead of a psudo VW van.

I dislike it as it's own thing and as any other thing. Having a different opinion than yours isn't closed-minded. It means I think for myself and have come to an opposite and equally valid viewpoint.

I don't believe you at all. If that character would have been presented as Larry Robotson instead of Wheeljack, you would never had taking it as a "personal insult" and hated it. At worse you would just have been indifferent.

Fortunately for me, what you believe is irrelevant, and had that come out with the name "Larry Robotson," I would have commented that it was given a name as equally moronic as gluing goggles to it's face.

While neat it just doesn't have that "must buy" vibe for me. Then again none of the live actions Movie bots have.

What about ROTF Mindwipe? Random question, I know, but while movie bots were never my Forte, that one was must buy when I first learnt of its existence.
Posted by Till-all-R1 on January 23rd, 2023 @ 12:05am CST
Looking at the toy the alt mode looks pretty cool, the bot mode though is way to spindly. But I will say he's not the worst movie TF design I've ever seen.
I actually really like movie Hot Rod but I just don't have a big enough interest to justify the space, I'm already running out and I'm not even finished with G1.

Oh man, that SS Hot Rod is a great toy. Really nice Evolution of the traditional G1 hood of car as chest design. And if you like lambos, well this one's for you.
But I'm easy to please. I even like the SS crosshairs for the simple reason that his trenchcoat is well integrated into the alt mode.
