I Ranked EVERY TOY From Transformers: Rise of The Beasts! (plus a GIANT mystery Hasbro Box)

Y'all I need some sleep after this 😭 grab a bucket of popcorn and have a fun time, I may never do this again lol. #hasbro #transformers
LIST OF TERMS I USE IN THIS VIDEO AND WHAT THEY MEAN (if you're new to Transformers):
STUDIO SERIES figures:
Hasbro’s toy line created to make the “best” versions of every transformer that’s been in a movie. This includes toys based on characters from any of the 8 Transformers films from the last 35 years. While anyone can enjoy the Studio Series line, they’re largely aimed at the adult collector audience due to their movie accuracy and slightly higher price.
MAINLINE figures:
toys specifically released and marketed from the new Rise of The Beasts movie. These are the toys that have green jungle themed boxes with the “Transformers: Rise of The Beasts” logo on it.
SIZE CLASSES:
size classes refer to what price and size the figure is. The size classes for Transformers are (generally, from smallest to largest): core class ($10), deluxe class ($25), voyager class ($35), leader class ($55). When I refer to a figure as a “deluxe class”, that means he’s a ~$25 figure and usually around 5-6 inches tall”. Mainline figures (toys from the new movie line of branding) usually don’t adhere to this size class system. For example: the transforming masks, flex changers, smash changers, etc.
So basically I’ve split the video up by the mainline toys for part 1, then the adult collectibles (mainly Studio Series) in part 2.
There are plenty of other terms you may not be familiar with, but the ones I’ve explained are generally what you want to know for this video specifically.

HEADS UP: I had to trim out a small portion of the video today, so if anyone's made comments with timestamps in it before today, those timestamps sadly won't be accurate anymore. I'm really sorry! Also, because I had so much content to get through in the video, I skipped over explaining what a lot of words and toy names meant. I've listed what all those terms and phrases mean in the description of the video. Enjoy! Now, what's your personal favorite Transformers toy from the new Rise of The Beasts line?

I cant believe they left Rattrap out of the movie. He would of been a comical character taking all the lime light. His figure would of been an awesome review by this channel

[@Boldipie]

The waist on Battletrap is a widespread issue. There’s two locking nubs in there for truck mode and robot mode but the stupid design oversight is that it pushes the waist out when rotated. If you’re that bothered like I was, just take the nubs off with sandpaper or a knife. I also agree with your opinions on Scourge and I sincerely hope they do a 2.0 of him, the current figure just doesn’t do the character justice at all.

[@papermelon]

Good tip, thanks! Yeah, annoying how the smallest little plastic print error on those mushroom pegs will pop them out of place when rotated. It’s a thing Hasbro’s been getting worse with, I hope they fix it.

[@youownittakeit]

[@SuperSmashGamer-xn1fy]

I might be wrong in my opinion but the Rotb mainline voyagers are (probably) the best we’ve seen of transformers figures since dark of the moon. They are quite high quality for mainline figures. On par with studio figures (kind of). They are also pretty movie accurate. Optimus primal in particular has his faceplate (like the film), but the higher quality figures have the beast wars style mouth. Some of them using older molds is … interesting, not bad at all. Also that joke of “what you were expecting a truck” is funny to me and will always be silly. I have to say (even if it’s bad) that the voice actor voicing the remote controlled Optimus primal, sounds somewhat like Garry chalk (beast wars Optimus primal). Ya gorilla 🦍.

Awesome video! Do you know if the mainline Optimus Prime is cheaper than the Studio Series one? Cause they're both voyagers but the SS has waaaaayy better engineering and paint so...?

[@papermelon]

Technically the mainline is cheaper if you can find him at retail price. The mainline version is meant to be a cheaper, less accurate and kid focused version of the character. The SS one is about $5 more and WAY better in every way (including size, he’s also a full inch taller). So I’d recommend waiting until he comes out later this summer.

DUDE I cannot tell you the mental temper tantrum I had when I saw his reveal and realized he just didn’t have a face mask.

[@tonyfiorilli2270]

@@papermelon Thank god someone else is on the same page. I had the same fit. It really annoys me how other reviewers are barely mentioning it. Plus, it's not even screen accurate to the 1 frame we saw him without the mask. I love the design of this Primal but without the mask it just kinda looks horrible to me lol. I desperately hope they change it, add it in or a 3rd party upgrade kit comes out. What also seriously annoys me is they even mentioned on stream they didn't know what to do with the extra leader budget, so they added Prime's axe and the transwarp key instead of the mask which is basically essential to this incarnation of Primal.

[@papermelon]

@@tonyfiorilli2270 I know right?? That’s what I’ve been trying to tell people and nobody’s listening. None of the unmasked toys even match the 1 second of face we saw from the movie. They all give him that stupid mustache mouth look he had from Beast Wars, but in the movie we saw his unmasked face looked mostly like his gorilla face. Either way, they both look so much worse than just giving him that awesome mask. They had one job and failed it in the simplest way possible. People think I’m being dramatic cause it’s just the face, but dude it ruins the whole look for me 😭😭. As a leader class there’s absolutely no reason they didn’t have the extra budget to give us both heads as an option. But if they had to choose one, what delusional person in Hasbro thought it would be funny to troll all of us by giving us the worst option? I’m praying for DNA upgrade kits to come to the rescue, and if all else fails I have to believe they’ll release a remold of him as Apelinq and maybe they’ll give him the mask in order to milk the collectors like us. But either way I’m pissed at Hasbro.

I wish there were more outcry over it so maybe they would change it, bc there's still a lot of time and they mentioned tweaks to mirage.. But it seems most reviewers are just overlooking it or barely mentioning it. It's just insane to me lol. I mean, they did it with SS100 bumblebee's facepaint under the radar (even though they actually added too much and the first iteration is more accurate, but idk the whole story behind the variant with that.)

@@tonyfiorilli2270 ss102 is so much better then I expected. He looks absolutely fantastic. Haven’t been this hyped to pick up an SS figure in a hot minute. It baffles me that they can do that with a voyager budget but not everything we want for Primal on a leader budget. And I was thinking that too about the fan outcry. If enough people complained they would change it, especially cause it’s such a small thing and would barely take any work.
