So the Battle Changers are Targetmasters that turn into weapons that can be used in the game and possibly other toys, or are they gimmick figures that only interact with the game? I’m curious to find out what kind of game it is (video game, tabletop, and so forth).

Looking forward to the Weaponizers. A Targetmaster subline with animals is right up my alley, especially if the others look as good as Tigatron and Optimus Primal.

 

It's possible that by 'game system' they could just mean play pattern. It is translated from another language isn't it?
Guess we'll see.
Either way, these remind me a bit of the Beast Machines Deployers as well as the recent Targetmasters. That Tigatron weapon we've seen obviously belongs to this subgroup.

 

It is translated.

 

Yeah definitely not a reference to a video game.

 

Yep, Optimus Primal and Tigatron are definitely from the Weaponizer two-pack assortment.
Battle Changers sound interesting. I wonder if Mirage will just be a miniature version of his car mode (unlicensed and stylised) converting into a weapon. Now THAT will be cool!

 

The first thing that popped into my head with the Battle Chargers description was was Bot Shots, if anyone remembers those, which had a rock paper scissors type of game built into the gimmick.
Transformers Bot Shots Archives - Transformers Toys - TFW2005

 

Loved those, I had Barricade, Mirage and the launcher Bumblebee. The online game was pretty cool for it's time, I remember I used the character creator as well

 

I wonder if itll be a like the star wars Galactic Battle game where its a bonus thing you could do with your toys.

 

I wonder how long it'll be before some of these show up on shelves.

 

It could also be a companion app, like RID 15 had for a while that was actually not bad until it transitioned into a different kind of game after an update (when the deployers launched), then an update after that got flagged by my anti-virus as being potentially mal-ware and I deleted it.

 

That’s what I’m wondering as well, the fall season I’d assume?

 

Finally more ROTB toys 

 

Sounds like Weaponizers aren't traditional WFC Weaponizers :'(

 

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The use of the word "system" makes me think this is a mistranslation of "play pattern".

 

Man that old school Transformers logo is giving me all the feels

 

Yeah I also wanted these to be more like Targetmasters.

 

It was not ok that there was not one Rise of the Beast anything at comic con. I Hope this Hasbro thing at the end of September is All Rise of the Beast. The waiting is getting real old real fast.

 

Not sure how it works, whether sold or leased, however the Attactix system is being used by Restoration Games for their Unmatched series.

So I don't think Hasbro can just dip there toe back into that game system

 

Any idea of release date?
