Honestly those smash changers sound and look fun.

 

Yeah, so far only Optimus has been revealed for the Smash Changers lineup.
I am excited to see the Smash Changer Rhinox and Scourge, it is also a fitting gimmick for Rhinox.

 

Same. I am definitely buying Scourge if they are cheap.

 

Im honestly excited for some of these, especially the power alliance and the power combiners. The 2 in 1 masks seem really cool too

 

It’s fancy way of mini con and power master should be interesting what they look like what other transformer is who is armor and weapon

 

We've seen Primal so far mask wise, and he isn't that horrible.

 

These are so tiny! We need the studio series not these bite sized toys

 

Thx for telling me something im aware of

 

I know....im just saying

 

@SilverOptimus Just noticed that there's no description here for the toy class that we've seen for Bumblebee and Optimus already, the ones with the built in weapons. I've seen them reported as being Battle Changers, but that also seems to have been used for the Power Battlers here. I know there were a lot of different variations going round for the different classes, is there anything that would fit those?

 

We are getting Studio Series, too.

 

Who hurt you? Don't answer that, I don't have all day, and I don't care. But I'm sorry if my speculative post broke you in some way I did not anticipate. Thanks for getting all bent out of shape, though!

O-of course... I knew that... >_>

Fair! That post was the first thing I did this morning, oh well.

 

Your all good, if you or any of us didn’t see the ROTB SS listings we had in the Summer time to early October it would be interesting to discover this.

 

ya ya.

 

For ongoing, adult collectors, yes - I agree. The chaff, simplified gimmick toys are targeted at the "movie's kid audience". I would be curious to learn more regarding whether the simplified, instant gimmick Transformers releases/toys like 1-step and so on are developed and marketed <<because Hasbro has research that steer their product development in that direction>> or if they're just using s shotgun effect to lure in various age ranges.

Cyberverse appears to be aimed at the target demographic likely to consume the media; but the movies aren't known as the kind of movie and tone that the target demo for 1-step would be likely to see.

Regardless, much like all movie tie-in spam, much of it WILL clog shelves. Look at Batman, Jurassic Park, Lightyear, etc. from the last year+.

 

When someone said Prime had a Bow I thought for a second they meant like a Bow Tie or a Hair bow like Windblade sometimes has.

 

Saw the smash changers the other day, and he's shockingly well painted (aka appropiate enough paint) for a gimmick toy.

The say cannot be said with nearly every gimmick toy since RID15 lol

 

My local wally world shelves are packed in like tetris with all that movie tie in crap. Snake Eyes, Lightyear, Batman, FNAF, and similar. I fear what will happen when they try to cram TF movie junk in with all of that plus the existing 3 toy lines that don't appear to be moving a single unit of product in a given week where I live. They're piled to the rafters.

 

I don't have a problem with gimmick toys, just shitty ones. Half the time the gimmick lines look like ass and the gimmick barely works. Bring me back to FABs or Activators.

The Primal with the Tigatron gun actually looks good. It's simple but not shitty, with basic articulation and a good sculpt. If that's the standard for the ROTB gimmick toys I can totally get behind it.
