    Every time there's a ROTB budget toy reveal I panic thinking it's gonna be the first reveal of the new movie designs in the most unceremonious way possible

    Another bullet dodged.

    I feel this. Hopefully we are getting closer to the Cyberverse ROTB toys being on shelves finally.

    Bummer, I thought Cyberverse ROTB toys meant we were getting more legion (Which we probably will since we got them in Bumblebee) and commander class toys

    Why can’t they repaint toys instead of repacking them?

    Once again, I'd like to point out that the final release is not branded under the Rise of the Beasts movie, but rather under the Bumblebee movie.

    Original stock photos with Rise of the Beasts branding:
    Energon_Escape_packaging_ROTB_1.jpg Energon_Escape_packaging_ROTB_2.jpg

    New stock photos with Bumblebee branding:
    Energon_Escape_packaging_Bumblebee_1.jpg Energon_Escape_packaging_Bumblebee_2.jpg

    This rebranding has already been reported by TFW2005:
    Hasbro To Change Their Toy Distribution Strategy

    It's confirmed by the on-shelf photo from That Site Which Shall Not Be Named:
    Energon Escape Canada.jpg

    Because the kids that are the target audience for this product haven't been part of the target audience when those toys came out originally, and Hasbro would prefer for them to be able to get Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in their standard colors instead of random shit like "Night Blizzard Assault Bumblebee" and "Halloween Christmas Easter Optimus Prime".

    These toys are not for you. If they were redecoed, you would instead complain that nobody gives a shit about shitty gimmick toys in random-ass colors. Chill out. There's a Bluestreak, a Dinobot, a Terrorsaur, and now a Ratchet and a Bonecrusher for you in this line. It's okay if not everything Hasbro releases meets your criteria for "I'd buy that".

    My user name has nothing to do with a raven. It's taken from the title of an obscure song by a certain band named Queen.

    Ok, now I want a studio series “Night Blizzard Assault Bumblebee" and "Halloween Christmas Easter Optimus Prime".

    I know. All I'm saying is that this had no influence on my user name.

    Hmmm...
    "Night" - The base paint is matte black.
    "Blizzard" - His accent stripe is a glossy pale Energon blue.
    "Assault" - his eyes and robot accents are a burning glowing blood maroon.

    Damn it, I want it.

    Not to mention they're oddly listed as three hundred dollars.

    Well, the two-pack was originally a Buzzworthy Bumblebee/Rise of the Beasts product, but was changed to Buzzworthy Bumblebee/Bumblebee movie because ROTB was delayed.

    The price, meanwhile, has got to be a mistake. Silly me, those are Hong Kong Dollars.
