A while back, we reported a teaser for the upcoming line of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts die-cast and RC vehicles by Jada.

Today we have the official images of the line.

The initial release will feature the following:

  • 1:32 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts 1977 Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee
  • 1:32 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime
  • 1:32 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Volkswagen Bus Wheeljack
  • 1:24 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts 1977 Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee
  • 1:24 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime
  • 1:24 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts Volkswagen Bus Wheeljack
  • 1:16 Transformers: Rise of the Beasts 1977 Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee RC Vehicle

Yea but where did g1 jazz and tracks in the larger scale go? They were revealed 3 years ago…

Rob

Yeah, I think they never came out. I think it's because part of the license went to Jazwares for the Micro Machines.

I zoomed into to some of the Wheeljack pictures and realized it\'s still the nerd version, and nothing new. Not too hyped, but let\'s hope it\'s better in the movie

I upscaled it. This is the best I can get:

Not so sure that Hasbro, the creator and proprietor of the brand, would agree with such an absolute. In fact, seems like they pointedly disagreed with such a sentiment as recently as last week:

33:59-34:18

So glad they said that on the live stream! It is crazy to me that people defend such stuff.

Yes Jada scale is always all over the place, I think they´re really bad at math!
I still hope we will get also a 1:24 line, their 1:24 Optimi were always quite near to 1:32 scale. Hope it will be the same.

We are in luck! They have a "1/24" scaled optimus Ptime announced.

The scale nut in me goes crazy. The truck is not 1:32 it's closer to 1:50 or even 1:60.

Ya, ya that's great now where's Wheeljack so we can get a better look at the packaging.

I agree, I must use it on my Twitter banner.

Also, I know his face doesn\'t look G1 enough, and it\'s weird that he changed so much between movies, but…what if it\'s a different Wheeljack? Peter Cullen isn\'t the only Peter in the world. Maybe this is Wheeljack Smith and G1-looking Wheeljack is Wheeljack Jones.

Yeah, no. I hate this argument.

Humans may share names with each other, but that doesn’t mean TFs do. It’s two entirely different cultures. Plus, TFs can get away with a lot weirder names (Erector for example), which means there’s a lot more variety in what a TF can be named. The chances of two TFs being named the same thing is very small.

So, I take it you're not all too fond of change, right?

Of course I am, but I don't want Spider-Man to start ruthless murdering people while Carnage shows me his testicles.

It's my fault, I need to clarify my meaning. The Transformers character's change in the realm of Marvel, DC, Image heroes in regards to change. You can have fresh ideas, but nothing that would conflict with the core of the character, unless of course we are doing an Elseworlds type of thing.

That Ironhide comment is a bit nitpicky. Sure he ain't red, but Jazz isn't black and white, and Ratchet isn't red and white in the films. Does that mean they didn't care? No, it just means they decided to go with something different. G1

Ironhide will continue being a Vanette and Movie Ironhide will continue being a GMC Topkick.

so aside from the stupid voice and face of movie Ironhide, I thought he was one of the better characters closer to fiction. Atleast as course as Optimus.

One of the few prime designs I actually like and it's not even real

Is real and official, just never used

Exactly! Everytime I hear someone say "something new and fresh" when applied to a mainstream Transformers thing (excluding elseworlds style things like shattered glass) all I hear is "something not Transformers". The idea of "G1" is Transformers.

Armada Wheeljack looking like a black Sideswipe wasn’t exactly intentional. (I may be confusing this with copyrights.) You’d have to talk to Aaron Archer on exactly why names were applied the way they were.

If I remember correctly, he said the name sounded evil to him because he was thinking of car-jacking. (as apposed to jacking up wheels with a tool)

So he used it for this (initially) evil character.

And in regards to bayverse bumblebee, he was meant to be hot shot until hasbro changed their minds. He was going to be in TFA too, but hasbro decided they wanted to reuse the name of a G1 character to appease fans. My point being, he wasn't designed to look like bee.

What ever happened to the Jazz and Tracks they revealed like 3 years ago?

I think I found the problem

Yeah, that’s what an opinion is.

No… it really does because it’s my opinion on their choice for designs. You’re response was geared toward the fact that I had singled out Ironhide. I could have just as easily mentioned Ratchet and Jazz who I am of the opinion were similarly misdesigned for the films. And again, I have no problem with Ironhide being a pickup or Ratchet being Hummer. Changing up their alt modes is fine. It’s their colors and head sculpts being off that gets me because it makes them unrecognizable in an era that has long stressed uniformity in designs, especially in a film that I feel was meant to be specifically a G1 reimagining. This makes it feel like they just had names slapped onto unimportant background fodder just to secure the rights.
