Thought we were done with the Target Transformers listings? Think again, because once more courtesy of TFW’s Jtprime17 we have a whole new batch of them! From what we can tell by looking at their DPCIs, some appear to be figures from the Legacy and Studio Series lines, but perhaps most interestingly we have our first look at what seems to be Rise of the Beasts (Mv7) toyline listings, although at this time only sporting code-names:
• Transformers Alpha ($15.99, ROTB)

If the combined Menasor turns out the way I'm imagining based on what we've heard, then I'm not excited for Menasor and I'm sure I'll be disappointed in it.
But, based on Dragstrip, I'm pretty damn excited for the individual Stunticons themselves. I do wish Dragstrip had the blue face and a little more maroon, but he still looks pretty great.
I much prefer the Stunticons as gang as opposed to a combined form. The fact they can combine will be nice, but I'm gonna keep them uncombined.

If you're into him I hope this "Legacy" version turns out just what you want. Me, I'm 100% happy with my CW version.
Alph
Which means he adds some variety, the spice of life.

Iirc the leg frames are hollow and need the car bots to properly stand
Neko-bot77
Honestly, I hope those who want this are happy with how they turn out, but I'm perfectly happy with my CW combiners.
Rodimus Prime
Apparently it's not as bad as the cartoon, iirc.
Neko-bot77
No doubt it's accurate to the cartoon, but still… every other combiner actually looked like a combination of characters. Menasor was more of a "super-mode Motormaster with some extra shin and arm protection"
TFXProtector
More or less, yes. Can't get more G1 than that, outside of the original toy design being slightly updated for today. "HEY! Just shove your heads up my knees!" "OKAY!"
Neko-bot77
Yes, so Menasor will look like a large robot that has 4 cars duct-taped to his arms and legs….
TFXProtector
Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing "leaks" of ROTB toys that made their way to retail in some form.
The only thing that throws me is PvP and Chefatron have none of them, yet, so maybe they kept the production under wraps until they were 100% certain the date/sales were ironclad at the theater.

Dune is in theaters and the toys are at Ross now.
TFXProtector
I wouldn't be surprised if they do end up coming out before the movie does. If they're already designed and produced (since they were banking on previous dates and they got moved at the last moment, as well as this time) I can't imagine they want those to sit in a warehouse somewhere collecting dust, either in Asia or NA/Eur. I'd imagine they'll have to get 'em moving so they can make room for what's coming in the future.

the 1 year delay really blows but I hope we get some RISE toy leaks next year.
Waveblaster
Yeah, could be a new leader. If they go the time travel route I could see Megatron being the Decepticon Megatron, but from the future. That way they could reintroduced him I guess.
TF Hot Rod
Maybe as long as It's a post-credit thing and not apart of the movie then I'm fine with that (cause this film kind of has enough on it's plate rn).
I'm curious to see even if they use BW Megatron with how unsure Paramount at least seems to be about fully committing to a rebooted universe right now. Might be a new Predacons leader (maybe a G1 character or a OG character) Or as what I hope they go with they give him a new name maybe even going with his IDW BW's name Galvar.
Waveblaster
OR the Decepticons follow Prime to earth as he escapes. It’s very possible this movie could be an Age of Extinction situation with the new villains in the foreground, but the Decepticons still doing their thing. After all, if the Autobots team up with Maximals, the Decepticons need Predacon support! I think Megatron will be a time traveling Predacon because they still aren’t sure if they want to retcon the Bay films.
as for Nightbird, I thought the described her as struggling with allegiance. I could see her leaving the Terrorcons at the end.
