The Taronga Zoo Sydney website have been updated with information about a new Transformers Rise Of The Beasts promotional campaign.
Visitors to the Zoo from 9 to 31 January will collect a Transformers kid’s map and limited-edition hat upon entry, then follow the BEAST POWER trail to crack the Cybertronian Code, for your chance to win an overnight stay at the Wildlife Retreat or Zoofari Lodge. Once you’ve completed the trail and arrived at BEASTS BASE CAMP, visitors will receive a BEAST POWER temporary tattoo, plus, a Transformers: Rise of the Beasts colour-in sheet. Beast Heroes sticker are available at the Zoo shop. You can find more details on the official Taronga zoo website.
We have new great Rise Of The Beasts promotional banners showing Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Optimus Primal and Cheetor. To top it all, via the Beast Wars Fans Forever Facebook Group, we have images of the aforementioned ROTB map (we can spot Airazor art) and a cardboars hat for the visitors.
Update: Promotional video via Taronga Zoo Sydney Facebook featuring the Autobot and Maximal insignias.
Not much left to say, so see the mirrored images after the jump and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Some poor sod had to deface TF packaging with these over stickers at Big W.

Well well well, time to start saving up again…

Oh wow it must depend on the franchise cause my Big W is always packed to the brim with Transformers toys, EarthSpark, Legends, Studio series, cyberverse, a bunch of stuff. Target and Kmart never have any of the good stuff near me.

That's probably the most accurate description I've ever seen for Big W

Big W is the "wait for the mid-year toy sale and grab whatever figure they actually remembered to stock". S'why I got Menasor and Trypticon. Though they weren't too bad during Siege. Only place that had Thundercracker

Wait 'till you see my local Tesco, the whole toy aisle is carried by Harry Potter merch and LEGO sets.

Also the "Horny" pic lol

It's kinda sad too see how unfortunate people have it in countries that aren't Singapore, Philippines, or USA

Big W has consistently been the worst place for me to find Transformers toys that aren't Cyberverse or now Earthspark
Target? I can find Buzzworthy at least, usually alongside a whole row of unsold Arcees.
Kmart? Pretty crap but at least they get exclusives sometimes.
Myer? Surprisingly good.
David Jones? They don't stock toys that aren't weird wooden blocks so they don't count.
I was amazed that the only place I ever saw PotP Optimal Optimus (and only one in stock) was Big W at Garden City in Brisbane. Even though they only had the one, I was expecting zero.
They had a decent selection around Titans Return, but once those hit clearance they never seemed to take Generations seriously again.
Looking forward to this promotion, if only because it'll be the only time they've stocked a decent amount of Transformers in years.

Australia content??? No way!!! Idk, sounds ok. Wish there were more prizes that were just transformers. This whole overnight stay seems pretty mediocre. Still cool asf for the intended market of young children tho!
Passes for movie is EPIC

I hope they give away free tickets in the states again, I remember taking my entire family when Bumblebee came out with free tickets.
Szilko
He wants ALL of us to grow and change as a person

Man we're gonna see that render of prime pointing EVERYWHERE lol

to be fair the maximals and predicons dont really transform for disguise, more so to protect themselves from energon. That logic could still be applied in the new movie with them having organic parts and cushioning on their animal modes to protect them.
I think the more techno-organic beast modes are so its easier to render and animate. It's a lot harder to do a realistic animal that look and moves like an animal vs a half robot animal that can move however without looking too uncanny.

These beast modes make me think of the idw maximals from the different planet
Chopper Face
I don’t hate these, which is already more than I could ever have hoped for from this movie.
Welll, although the Beast Wars crews didn’t become animals explicitly for disguise purposes, it did allow some Maximals to interact with and study the natural environment incognito without distressing the inhabitants. They were scientific explorers after all.

I'm at work and had to try my hardest not to laugh at this.
