    I wonder if RotB will have 1 steps and Tacticons too? Tacticon Cheetor could be cute. Is there like a complete list of all RotB toys coming and with the codenames translated too? I actually like these gimmick lines, if they are good. The power battlers gimmick was fun.

    At least 3 containers full of Beast Mode Bumblebee toys have arrived to the United States. Eash case only contains 2 toys. Which means the toy is fairly big.

    Aern't there complications for that? Something about how Bumblebee can only turn into a yellow car?

    Obviously that's not the case but where did I get that idea from?

    As I heard, Hasbro will be repackaging ROTB One Step Changers to the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line. The Smash Changers Optimus Prime which went to Cyberverse no longer carries the 'TRA MV7 Smash Changers Optimus Prime' product name on the latest shipments. It is now renamed 'TRA Cyberverse Smash Changers Optimus Prime'. His Hasbro Code and UPC are both updated to new codes.

    Hasbro simply cannot hold onto these toys at warehouse-level. It cost them money. 1-year delay of the movie came well after shipment preparations. Hasbro needs to move the products to avoid storage costs and to accommodate space for future toys. With a shipping and storage crisis going on, the wisest move is to repackage them and sell them.

    I will laugh if these toys release in 2023 with RotB in Cyberverse packaging.

    Will be interesting to see what beast mode he ends up getting.

    That was me (likely among others) out of morbid curiosity. Ended up ditching it because it was going nowhere and I figure that price point will be plentiful once it launches.

    Saw the Buzzworthy Energon Escape 2-pack at Target in Albany, CA today. I think this might be the first reported sighting in the US. @Black Convoy

    How exactly does the logistics of changing the packaging work? These toys were already packaged and shipped overseas to warehouses, right? Seems like a lot of time, money, and effort to manually take thousands and thousands of toys out of their packaging (in the warehouse?), design and print new packaging, then put them in the new packages before shipping them to stores. All to rebrand them as "Bumblebee", a movie that hasn't been relevant in four years. Or Cyberverse, which also isn't particularly relevant anymore. Seems like some higher-up would shoot down the idea as too unorthodox and not worth the trouble. Like, will changing a small corner of the packaging really affect sales enough to justify all that money and effort? I dunno, maybe I'm just misunderstanding how it works.

    With the lengths they went to, I can only imagine they have some sort of deal or agreement with Paramount that determines when advertising and product promotion can start, hence why they can’t hold onto the toys. Probably why they need to refresh the packaging and branding before trying to salvage some of the profit to be made.

    Buzzworthy is the name on the top of the packaging with the associated media secondary. That line is alive and well at Target.

    Cyberverse also very much still has a presence in stores, much like Rescue Bots, despite both being over.

    If the line sells well even without associated media on the air, there's no reason to rock the boat if you don't have to.

    Hasbro currently doesn't.
