A few reviewers are getting their hands on these Rise of the Beasts figures. Prime vs Prime got some too. He was invited by Hasbro to attend the private event announcing the film, so his review does also compare the figure to what was shown then. But the part that matters most is that we now have a better idea of the scale of these figures. This Optimus Primal and Tigatron figure is supposedly from the Power Alliance Weaponizer 2-Pack (F4611), which is priced at $15.99. Regardless of how simpler he may be, that price becomes quite the bargain for a kids' toy when you see that it is the size of a standard deluxe class figure. Of course, it may be that this is not the correct class and that maybe even Tigatron does not go with this toy. We'll see when they are revealed (or more likely simply released) in the Cyberverse line. This also helps us make sense of the scale of the Optimus Prime figure we saw. Also, fans were quick to point out that this Optimus has the Bayverse blades, further showing that this new era of films/merchandise is building off of the Bay movies (afterall, he is still involve) rather than being a complete reboot. So we'll still see some references to the Bay aesthetic, be it like the blades on Optimus, or Bumblebee's face.

I actually like the head design a lot. It looks like a transformer. Not a human trying to be a Transformer. 
That always helps.

There's... literally NO difference between the robot mode and the ape mode, except the chest/head piece being inverted, and the feet were rotated.
Uy. Hard pass on these so far...

That's just the basic gimmicky toy.
I'm looking forward the SS voyager.

Steal toys from company. Get invited to exclusive premiers.
Ok, got it! I now know the key to success!

And the shoulders. There is almost as much difference here as with the original Primal who also kept the same arms, back and waist as the gorilla mode.
That's just Primal.

I mean, for a kid's toy it's honestly not that much of a surprise, especially considering most Primal toys aren't always that different between modes anyway.
Still, the probable SS figure will be a better purchase for adult collectors anyway.

I'm inclined to think now that the factories and probably Hasbro themselves are 'in' on it with this, to generate buzz for their pending figures. Otherwise, they'd be moving much more aggressively to stop these early leaks. Instead of inviting the primary beneficiary of those leaks over to root through their stuff with permission. Sometimes it really is who you know...

I think the easiest comparison for the Primal figure is to a Cyberverse Warrior class figure. Simple figure with nearly Deluxe articulation, just with the spring loaded weapon gimmick replaced by a weapon partner gimmick at roughly the same price point.

Honestly, that Primal looks better than almost all the cyberverse warrior figures I've ever come across. It's really cool how he isn't compromised in any way by the gimmick.

The main point, however, is that if that were true, both parties have then run afoul of YouTube's terms and conditions, which expressly forbids Youtubers from promoting items in this way without without stating that the items were supplied by (Hasbro) for promotional purposes and/or that the video is a sponsored video/hosts sponsored content:
-
(Source: - https://support.google.com/youtube/answ ... dorsements )
So, either YouTubers like this are either "in cahoots" with Hasbrk (thus breaking YouTube's terms and conditions) or they are receiving stolen goods.
In both cases, they are receiving goods illegitimately to create videos, giving them an unfair advantage over other Youtubers, whilst gaining illicit ad revenue.
My guess would be that he was able to attend due to other reasons, unconnected to his illegitimate videos. Perhaps Hasbro (UK/Asia) gave him the opportunity, without checking his credentials? Or, perhaps he's lying through his back teeth about his invite and they're haven't actually been any events (or that the events were real and open to anyone who knew about them/asked to attend)?

Or (the more likely scenario), hasbro marketing team invited him because of his online following. No conspiracy needed. However, this talk of reviewers isn't relevant to the conversation is it. Let's get back to talking the toys and what it might mean for the rest of the line. There is no need to hash out old arguments about PvP

There's no argument here; he received illegitimate TFs. I do agree that, if he has been invited, it might have been due to some ignorant Hasbro staff member simply looking at his numbers, but that's only due to the fact he gets stolen TFs. What's odd is that Chefatron or Tonton, also in the same thieves' guild, weren't invited.
However, I do appreciate that Seibertron no longer links to his videos, just some screenshots. If only his name could be ommited too. It's not as if he's going to cry fowl about "stealing his property", is it? Omitting his name, or the irrelevant info that he attended a Hasbro event would also help to keep the conversation relevant to the toys.
Please consider this; if Seibertron doesn't want us mentioning him, then Seibertron shouldn't mention him. Why add fuel to the fire and do your best to keep things on topic?
Anyway, the Primal doesn't look half bad. It seems to have more arm and leg articulation than Prime does. Perhaps the lack of colour palette is due to not wanting to confuse the kiddies (AKA, ignorant parents) with two similar "Prime" colour schemes?

Thanks, I only mentioned it in the article because unlike with the chefatron toy review, this review also has the extra information of comparison between the way the toy looks and what PVP was shown at the event. It is related to the news about this toy and gives fans here more information that they did not have before. It is in no way an invitation to rehash an ethics debate which can be done in a different thread if people so wish. We are just talking about the toy here. And I will keep crediting our sources unless they ask us not to credit them. That is the bare minimum for any news site.

Even if we won't know much i'm hoping Rattrap might get a movie version figure down the line just to see him get a deluxe figure?
They did fantastic job with his core class figure in Kingdom. Although i doubt he'll get a role in the film. Giant rat joke.

Rattrap has had 4 sizes
Scout Class Which is Bigger than Core Class and Legends.
Deluxe Transmetal Upgrade.
Mega Class in Beast Machines, did he really need such a size like supreme cheetor.
And recently Generations Rattrap was a deluxe which was that size to give him hidden bombs in his wrists.
SO yeah i would want a deluxe next to give him some more detailing.

They aren't in on it at all. PvP is not stupid he is not a Hasbro rep and will not cross the line. Paramount is not aware of how this works and it's their movie. But Lore Keeper is right it's foul and many sites give them praise or even go as far as silencing any comments about such. We have been talking to Hasbro from our FB Group about this but due to COVID the security at factories are laxed. Don't worry their time is coming.

We have spoken to Hasbro...he is not a Hasbro rep at all. Most likely scenario is Paramount (if he was truly invited at all) is not aware of how he has gotten the toys. If he truly worked for Hasbro hen he would have to state these early reviews are promotion, as we know Hasbro schedules their reveals with such events as Fans First Fridays, in which the last one was a bust as the thieves shown the toys months in advance. I personally don't think Hasbro UK is in cahoots with anyone it's just Hasbro is slow to act.

Chefatron came upon another Rise of the Beasts toy. We had Optimus Prime, Optimus Primal and now we have Bumblebee in his Offroad mode. We do not know the exact class of this toy but it is aimed at kids, as are all toys in the Rise of the Beasts movie line (there may be Studio Series toys of these designs released later). While the alt mode does have Camarro features, it does seem to have more height than the vehicle we saw on set. You can compare with the set photo below.
These photos/review give us a good look at what to expect from Bumblebee's robot mode in the film. It still keeps a lot of the traditional Bayverse Bee designs, such as the layers of metal, the blaster and the face, while also being smoother in certain areas. You'll let us know what you think!

That looks pretty nice, actually! We don’t know if this is what Bee will look like in the final movie, but I like that we’re seeing more Bayverse elements like the plasma cannon and armor pieces on the arm while still being something new.
The flip-out Plasma cannon in particular is really neat!

Quite mediocre figure.
The alt mode is nice but the robot mode is ugly, with that huge backpack and the doors standing stiff backward.
It's clear that this is a kids oriented line, but it's a bit too plain even for kids (and actually, I think in the hands of a kid those doors will surely break in that position)

Looking at the transformation, it looks too complicated for kids as well. That bit about unpegging the lower half and replugging it in a tiny tab within the shell looks far too minutia a step for a kid who'd be fine with a toy of this limited articulation. The Primal is the better of these toys with the complexity being well in tune with the look and simplicity of the toy for an overal fun exprience.

It's way too silly of me to even think this would happen but is it wrong that i was honestly hoping that they'd change 'Bee's face? It's not the worst of the Bayverse noggins but I was really hoping we'd have something more akin to G1 BB. (Not because I'm a Geewunner, I do genuinely like a lot of the Bayverse designs but BB's face never really appealed to me.)

Good grief! That looks like garbage!!
When I was a child, I had G1 toys, which is why I'm still a huge fan. If these were the toys I had back then, I don't think I'd be a fan now.

I hated the Bayverse' BB face. Too skeletal. However I did like the versions that he had the faceplate on. I didn't find the change they did to BB's face in his own movie, but it looked much better and I at least am not hating it.

I'm curious if that design is based on concept art or if the extra cage around it was just to skirt licensing. I guess we'll know if it has a GM logo or whatever on the back of the package.

I will say that the original figures had a certain "quality" to them the today's toys do not, back then they felt almost real due to the metal parts etc. creating sharp lines and detail. While today most of them come off looing cheaply made. That said, I really like how the articulation has evolved beyond them looking like a stilt statue as well as the how much the detail has improved with head sculpts.
So this is why I'm often conflicted on whether to buy the new stuff or not, it almost feels like a trade off in quality over function. Yet I still wouldn't prefer OG G1 figures over what's being made today.

Transformations improved as well and today's toys no longer have partsforming fists. Plus they look closer to the show and have better proportions. And people like to bring up the metal component, which I admit is cool and invokes some type of quality, but it wasn't present throughout most of G1, just the beginning. Honestly, if G1 toys like Optimus and Starscream which had a kid needing to keep their hands stored somewhere have become so beloved and inspired fans to collect for life, then so can these ROTB toys aimed at younger kids.

Not to mention the lack of stickers to make fake details (aside from in Titans Return) in modern toys. And really, Bumblebee is just as complex as the majority of G1 figures.

He's more complex. The sad truth is that if Hasbro released figures today that had the same articulation, complexity, proportions and as screen innacurate as G1 figures but for a new show, most collectors would complain, call foul, and say that these look like Happy Meal toys.

Alright, so it seemed like most, if not all, of the Transformers 7 Rise of the Beasts toys set for 2022 were going to be sold under the Cyberverse line and coming late this year. But now, thanks to JTPrime 17, we know that two products have made it to US shores awaiting distribution and both are logged under the Rise of the Beasts toyline. What's interesting is we don't really know what these toys entail nor the characters that will be released. We just know the product name and quantity:
F4110 Tra Mv7 Spark Racers Ast 2400 pcs (300 cartons)
F4113 Tra Mv7 Spark Chargers ast 4800 pcs (600 cartons)
It does show what we were expecting, these toys will just show up on shelves without announcement, unless Hasbro announces them soon.
