Well the animal modes weren't for hiding in the Beast Wars cartoon anyway (after all, it's not like Scorpoknok, Tarantulas and Black Arachnia shrank down when they transformed.)

When did animal forms ever make sense?

Love that we have a better look at Cheetor's cg model now, I think he looks fantastic. He looks completely robotic, but also maintains a certain organic smoothness. Hope we get better looks at Airazor and Rhinox soon.

feeling Beast Machines influence in the mix between robotic and organic. Very, very nice balance.

This seems a very fun tie-in promotion!

The designs look better by each render!

Ironically, Kingdom. When Arcee makes a comment about “some are having a better time getting over this terrain than others”

I thought it was one of the few good things to come out of the Netflix series

He meant scale-wise.

Yeah, but it's ok, I like Flashwave's answer a lot.

We have info on two books for young readers relating to Transformers Rise of the Beasts. One is called Mission at the Museum and deals with the humans in Brooklyn and the other is The Search is On which deals with the Autobots and Maximals trying to get an artifact (the Transwarp key) in Peru. You can read all the details below. Both books come from Simon and Schuster. Please remember that, as we saw with the tie in books for Bumblebee, these books are based on older film outlines which may not be the same in the final film.

Mission at the Museum: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/ ... 1665921886

The Autobots and their human friend Noah team up to save the day in this Level 2 Ready-to-Read!

A researcher at the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration is running tests on an ancient falcon statue when it crumbles, revealing an ancient artifact hidden inside. Noah and the Transformers bots go on a brave mission to keep the artifact safe, but Scourge and his sweeps have other ideas.

Combining the heart of Bumblebee with the action and spectacle that first captured moviegoers around the world in the original 2007 Transformers film, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a new 90s globetrotting adventure and introduce the Maximals and Terrorcons factions to the Autobots’ battle on Earth. This is the first of three new installments of the Transformers universe.

The Search is On: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/ ... 1665922531

The new Transformers movie, Rise of the Beasts, roars into theaters June 9, 2023, starring Anthony Ramos, Ron Perlman, Peter Cullen, and Dominique Fishback!

Rival factions of Transformers bots race against each other in this action-packed 8x8 storybook.

The Transformers bots travel to Peru to find a very powerful and ancient artifact. Can the Autobots find it before Scourge and keep the Decepticons from using it to take control of Earth?

Wasn't expecting the Sweeps to be in this.

Reminds me of the DotM storybook that spoiled how we were finally going to have the satisfaction of seeing Herp and Derp die on the big screen!




...sigh.

When fandom's rage costs fandom its catharsis.

Sweeps? I'm a little worried...

So… are the Decepticons going to be in this movie or not? I wouldn’t mind if they weren’t, but any news around their involvement is hazy at best (or information based on older versions of the film.)

RodimusPrimeUkraine1 wrote:Sweeps? I'm a little worried...

I wouldn't as they could easily be referring to Scourges little gang and the name was dropped in a later version of the script.

Good, because the Terrorcons have nothing in common with the sweeps except the name of their leader. But then again, Terrorcons isn't such a fitting name either. Kind of cringe, really. I was hoping before the robot mode photos leaked that they would be animal-like in robot mode to fit with the beast theme (like a dragonlike scourge and obviously birdlike nightbird), so I have to say I'm kind of disappointed by these- knock off deceptions.

A thought just crossed my mind. The filmmakers might have gone with the bad guys in this movie being Terrorcons instead of Predacons just so that the use of "Terrorize" could make sense with the name of those who use it, reflecting the synergy between "Maximal" and "Maximize" that was always missing between "Predacon" and "Terrorize".

Oh I love this. It almost seems obvious now, and I’m gonna go ahead and anticipate this line in the movie. Definitely Scourge saying this as the final battle begins and the “characters on both sides begin battle by running towards each other across a massive field” scene happens.

Watch the after credits scene be BW Megatron investigating the scene of the last battle, murmuring to himself that he likes the 'terroize' phrase

All jokes aside, I am expecting an after credits stinger of that type to set up the stand alone beast wars movie (assuming it hasn't been cleared off the internal slate)

Makes sense but I woul've prefered the Predacons to be called terrorcons other than this new team.

New beast renders look good, beast excitement over here!

Very selectively, but the default color was black. and i think he looked much better in black anyways.

And on a technical side, at the time, red was a terrible color to film, so they used it as little as possible, hence the whole Prime with flames motif to provide some red while minimizing it

Also, we saw what he would look like in red and I personally preffer black for that character model.



Another point, him being black makes it a much bigger seperation from the G1 character, and G1 as a whole. He basically becomes a new character with just an homage to the G1 character. Bayformers becomes not really a take on G1 but a take on the Transformers brand in general (unlike Cyberverse or the IDW comics, or WFC, which feel more like a reimagining of G1 specifically)

We have more promotional images from the Taronga zoo featuring a really clear look at the maximals in beast mode. Some are even on giant panels made for selfies to be shared across the internet, making it slightly odd that these images are not more widely released to the public as this does feel like a full blown marketing campaign. Another interesting point is that in terms of deco, the image of Airazor looks a lot more like the Studio Series toy than the initial toy we had seen. That CG image of Airazor could very well be one of the assets Hasbro was given when working on the Studio Series toy. It's still to be seen, if this is the same look the character will have in the film itself. These images come from firebreaker_customs on Instagram.



















Studio Series Airazor



Rise of the Beasts Airazor

I think I prefer the RotB Airazor to the SS one. The wings/shoulders look better as does the coloring.

These beast modes look so good!

Below you will see some new Rise of the Beasts art. They are character models of Scourge, Optimus Prime+Primal, Arcee and Bumblebee. Some come from apparel which Amazon listed too early (the listings have since been removed) and we also have two children's book covers (found here). This gives us the best look yet at Arcee and Scourge, though these may not be3 the final designs we see in the film.

So Arcee is confirmed a bike in ROTB. I thought she was going to be a classic car. But then I noticed that I got ROTB and the newest cartoon mixed-up.

Arcee has TransTech Cheetor feet.

That Arcee is phenomenal. I love the speedskater vibe.

Every design to use this as a starting point or a reference has been great

Too bad the core toy gave her inaccurate feet.

Looks like she has 2 different foot configurations. We clearly saw her in the trailer with the wheels both on her back and as her feet

It would be great if the toy allow this as well.

And even greater if it gets retooled into her down the road.

The artwork looks cool, also a good set of heroes. Keep the team small and simple. Optimus, Bumblebee and Arcee. Voyager, deluxe and a core class.

Don't forget Wheeljack and Mirage.

whats going on with the symbols surrounding Scourges arms?

Scourge has lips and teeth! Why does he have lips and teeth!?!

You know why. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I like the Airrazor figure it is very detailed. Can't wait to see rhinox!

Paramount debuted a new 30 second trailer for Transformers Rise of the Beasts during tonight's Big Game on FOX. This new trailer didn't offer much new footage, but what it does finally reveal is Mirage in robot mode sporting a more traditional looking Transformers face.

From Paramount: "It’s time to shift into high gear. Mirage makes his debut as a legendary 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts"

Check out the new 30 second spot below on Paramount's YouTube Channel, courtesy of our friends at Paramount.



POWER IS PRIMAL





TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS IS IN THEATERS JUNE 9, 2023


SYNOPSIS: Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new breed of Transformer – the Maximals – to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons. Directed by Steven Caple Jr. and starring Anthony Ramos and Dominique Fishback, the film arrives in theatres June 9, 2023.

That shot of Bee's wings flipping up was awesome! Guess this is Stratosphere, he appears to be a C-82 or C-119 from what I can tell!




Not a fan of the face, but the rest of Mirage looks pretty cool, I like how detailed he is!

Honestly, while I don't really care much either way, it really feels like an extra troll move to read this from paramount:

"It’s time to shift into high gear. Mirage makes his debut as a legendary 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8 in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts"

Like, the reason why the Porsche car is legendary among transformers fans is because of a different character.

But anyways, the Flash is where all the superbowl talk will be centered around, WOW

I am quite happy with Mirage, I am happy with him. I think i am going to enjoy this movie.

that shot of Bee with the wings was really neat. I liked that.

Personally, this make the movie special.

I like Mirage. Aside from the wrong alt mode he's definitely not first movie Jazz.

Well, among those not boycotting it over Ezra Miller. Hopefully they never make another movie again and fades away into obscurity before they hurt anyone else or worse, they should have been locked up a long time ago. The film industry, particularly Warner, has only enabled their behavior and crimes. I'll be watching the movie to support the best Batman, not that loser.
