Following our previous news posts (1,2) regarding the gimmick toyline for Transformers: Rise Of The Beasts, we have received updated info on the same listing.
Retailers worldwide have received Wave 1 and Wave 2 dates for the toys by Hasbro. Wave 1 is listed as April 2022 while Wave 2 is marked as August 2022. Yes, you’ve read that right. 2022. It is unclear why such an early Street Date is listed for the toys when the movie is more than one year away from the 1st Wave. Wave 2 info is scarce. And it is best to assume that lines/toys not marked for Wave 1 will release later with Wave 2 or with future Waves
Furthermore, we have received Hasbro Codes for Wave 1 & 2 toys.
Another confirmation we acquired is the fact that Power Battlers are indeed Beast Battle Masters. The entire Power Battlers line is comprised of Beastformers including Rhinox, Cheetor, and Crescent.
Speaking of Beastformers, Optimus Primal will be a part of the 2-In-1 Mask Assortment along with Bumblebee.
The price list for each line is updated as well.

Probably because airrazor happens to be desired a lot more, same with mirage, both which seem to contend with the ss line ones, whereas prime is less competitive and primal, is slightly higher probably because of the face mask, whether that means the mainline will be your main one, or if you will swap the head onto the ss one.
Just my speculation though.

I tried browsing Aliexpress mainline figure pricing to see if the pricing has changed. Voyager OP is now towards the upper $50 to $60 range after S&H. Primal is even higher at $60-70. Amazon Japan is about mid $50's both shipped to US (and faster).
For some reason, Deluxe Mainline Airazor and Mirage are commanding higher prices around $50-60, significantly more than the other deluxes. Deluxe Mainline Airazor is going for way more than what the SS Airazor figures are going for.

Still waiting to see pics of the Optimus Prime roleplay mask, even if it ends up getting shunted to the repackaged line later this year.

Still doesn’t explain why the flex changers and beast mode prime have the same packaging type, it’s possible the nighttime packaging could represent Walmart exclusive
Ganon2099
It's also because Target got a lot of exclusives themselves. So they probably didn't order any.
Burneygames
Ok so a number of factors have lead to me to the conclusion that the flex changers and beast life optimus prime are Walmart exclusive, they share the same “nighttime” blue-teal packaging style, and have only been spotted at Walmarts here in the US, why they weren’t stated as exclusives is beyond me
Neko-bot77
Ah, a "repackage" situation then. Cool.
TFXProtector
We haven't seen any of those available online for sale and both Walmart and Target are loaded to the gills with waves 1 and 2. I think it'll be a long time, if ever, before we actually see her here. If the rumors (and the person giving them has been solid before) about them being used as a Studio Series for kids line next year, I'd say we'll see her then.
Neko-bot77
Any ideas when the battle master Airazor will drop?
Vector Oracle
Okay, I’ll find the time to listen to Gorillaz’s discography. Please don’t go ape on me.

something neat i noticed; weaponizer cheetor and arrow stripe share very similar details. they both have similar pieces of greeble throughout their bodies. very interesting homage to tigatron

i saw the flex changers at walmart today. they don’t use rubber. they use pvc plastic like botbots
JomasterII
To be fair that comment was from like almost a month and a half ago so you can assume I've seen them by now.
Steevy Maximus
Which one?
R0B07
Ah legends have been one of my favourites since they came out, think Barricades solo release and maybe a Bumblebee was my first then Megs and Prime when i went on holiday i picked those up
JomasterII
Goddamn it, I just wanna see Mainline Mirage already.
