Maybe you're lost, this is the thread for the kids' movie toyline. You might be looking for the Studio Series thread for toys that are not only intended for 6 yo's.

Official Description wrote:The figure converts between 3 modes: robot, vehicle, and beast; and can go from robot to licensed off-road Camaro in 19 steps before squeezing the figure's legs together to reveal the new eagle beast mode.

My first thought was that it was a deepcut reference to the episode where the Preds give Rhinox a virus.

I'm at this board because those other boards are so full of nonsensical whining. "Why is this kids' toy oversized with electronics?!" The world would be a nicer place if people understood that sometimes things are made for other people.

Also glad we're seeing some of Rhinox's bot mode. His head on the figures here makes me think he might look the closest to his og Beast Wars self in the movie (unless this is a stylization like we saw with Cheetor's toy versus his Studio Series figure).

Like I said, a new low bar for triple changers. Shockingly expensive too...

Hasbro says it has three modes. It's a triplechanger. A hilariously, badly realized triple-changer.

As far as being "shocked" it's the price tag that surprises me. For $50 I expect better, and I'm saying that as a parent.

Hasbro is launching the new Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Beast Alliance Battle Changers assortment featuring 4.5” Battle Changer figures that convert from robot to alt mode and back. The new kids toys are cross compatible with other Beast Alliance figures, including Beast Alliance beast weapon and beast armor toys

I loved the WfC Battle Masters, I'm glad they're making a comeback with new beast designs. I'm not sure if I'll get the two-packs, but I'll probably get all of the individual ones.

Yeah KIDS, not toddlers. These all belong in the fisher price aisle. I'd have more trouble transforming an animated figure than these. Mainline used to be good, now it's an excuse for them to try less. Mainline should be 8-12. All they're doing is making kids dumber.

Yes, hasbro is being misleading with that description, 100%.

I'm a parent too, but I'm not shocked at all since we just got this same type of stuff in Cyberverse and the Bumblebee movie line before it, and the RID line before that one, all at the same price, do you remember those?

Dr. Caelus wrote:Also, is it really too much to ask that we get a Bumblebee that turns into a bee?

Yes. Yes it is.

Because of trademark reasons. If he were to turn into an actual bumblebee, then the name "Bumblebee" could be interpreted as a non-trademarkable descriptor rather than a trademarkable proper name.

The new Core class movie dudes and the Battlemasters look very cool! And I'm 37.

I hope they drop a new trailer soon, can't wait to see more. I hope this movie does well and the toys.

Love the fact they are redoing the armor thing. That Arcee looks great!

It sucks, because now I have to save up money again.

Or are you angry because you think these figures take away spots on the shelf and resources to make other pieces for more grown up fans?
I do agree that kids are dumber, but having simpler toys has very little to do with it. It's the result, not the cause. The cause is the decline of the education system from bottom to top, in the US at least.

YES, but it doesn't have to continue! I'm sick of everytime I go somewhere to buy something all that's left is bad gimmick toys that're just upscaled McDonald's toys. It's corrupt. And it might NOT be the cause of kids being stupid but they're ENABLING it. I remember when figures used to be simple.
You had Leaders, Voyagers, and deluxe for the current show, then the movie that was out at the time. Every show had an Optimus that looked at least similar to what you saw on screen, now every show Optimus is oversized gimmicky ass. Where's the Voyager Class CyberVerse Optimus? There wasn't one! They were all either oversized gimmick toys or deluxes. Why is Optimus a deluxe? It's not a difficult concept to make consistent. I saw a Spider-Verse toy for the new Spider-Verse movie that was a static, unposeable figure that had a spinning Gatling gun if you pushed on the leg. That's McDonald's ****, and it was like 9 inches tall and costed like $15.
It's oversaturating the market with garbage that will end up in a thrift shop or Ollie's. And Transformers is no different. Things won't change unless Hasbro makes them change. And to all the users criticising me for caring, how is that helping? Telling me to touch grass like a basement monkey is gonna help toys not suck? If you don't care then don't reply.

The reason why these things keep ending up at places like Ross, TJMaxx and Ollie's yet Hasbro keeps making them movie after movie, cartoon after cartoon is because that's the stuff that's left over after they and the retailers have already turned a nice profit on them. If Walmart or Target said, hey, these don't sell, stop making them, they would. Since they're still making them that should tell you that they're making money off them. No amount of your complaining is going to change anything, Hasbro lets the money talk.

Every time a kid can't find a Hasbro toy they want on the shelf, and opts to spend their money on something else, Hasbro is missing a sell. When all is said and done, there should always be some little bit of the stock that ends up on clearance or at a discount store, especially for the kid-oriented lines.

Hasbro owns something like 50% of the action figure aisle and three of the biggest brands in it (Star Wars, Marvel and Transformers). Chances are whatever they're buying instead is still one of their toys so I don't think they're that concerned. But that's also why they hedge their bets on multiple figures of popular characters like Prime and Bumblebee.
