As we had previously reported, the impressive and enormous Transformers Rise Of The Beasts Optimus Prime & Optimus Primal statues have started a world tour and they have just landed on Singapore. They were revealed to the public with a quite big and impressive fan event.
Courtesy of fellow Singaporean fans and Instagram users @joanne_ying79, @jesterhatsjhund and @sgtoygeek we have an extensive gallery of this impressive event organized by Geek Culture, UIP Singapore (United International Pictures) and Hasbro Singapore and held at Gardens By The Bay in Marina Bay Sands. Besides the statues reveal, it was like a Transformers party for all attendants. Read on for details:
- Attendants received gift boxes with Transformers products.
- Rise Of The Beasts Toys on display. Both Studio Series and mainline.
- XM Studios Galvatron and Bumblebee & Spike statues exhibit.
- Rise Of The Beasts Skechers shoes revealed.
- Rise Of The Beasts Gaming chair uThrone V by Osim.
- Trivia quizzes where you could win prizes.
- Rise Of The Beasts standees and official posters.
- Special video greeting of Rise Of The Beasts Director Steven Caple Jr. and some exclusive clips.
- Statue unveiling with the “The Touch” as BGM.
- Screening of the Bumblebee movie.
As a very nice touch, the statues and surroundings have got special lights and decoration which look stunning together with the Marina Bay Sands building behind. Watch all the mirrored images after the jump, as well as a video of the unveiling of the statues after the jump, and then let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

The austin one was free to attend I would not be surprised if the other american based locations were too. The NY one would no doubt be free to attend since thats in the same week the movie releases and taking pictures with life size statues of prime/primal would generate buzz especially in a heavily populated area like New York City.

I think that's the smash changer primal

It’s called marketing, no matter how big you do advertisements lol. Definitely sound like a afterburner take lol

Thank you so much for the response. In particular I was wondering about the NY and Chicago locations but I appreciate it.

It solely depends on your country. For this one in Singapore we had to enter a simple contest (fill a form, share the contest, take photo of our collection and state why we are Tf fans and such..) and winners were chosen from there. With how exclusive the event was, the location was only revealed on the day itself to winners.
With the size of the event space and the activities held for us Singapore it therefore had to be exclusive to winners and their plus ones for safety reasons.

Question: Are these events free to attend?

Funny that they stil have to bribe people after 6 films.

The design team also mentioned recently (either in a stream or a roundtable) that th3 team working on the RotB mainline is also working on the stufd for the animated movie.

It's still happening. At least, they just recently did have an internal screening. Bobby Alcid Rubio on Instagram: "I just got back from @ParamountPics and hanging out with the crew. We finished another strong screening and so we celebrated that amazing accomplishment. I truly believe that we are making something special and I am so proud to be a part of this incredibly talented crew!"

Tbh I really wish that animated movie that we've been hearing about for forever would happen. I'd love to see a stylish new take on Transformers in the vein of Spider-Verse or Mutant Mayhem.

Super cool that they’re doing this stuff. publicity and spectacle can do a lot.
it’s too bad the movie isn’t a complete reboot with a new aesthetic, rather than a continuation of bumblebee. I’d love to this franchise get a real fresh start with a big push like they’re doing here.

Not from Mario Kart, but from watching F1!
The Singapore street circuit is right near there in the Marina Bay area.

These would be cool to see, but I don\'t live anywhere close. Also it\'s looks kinda scary at night just seeing glowing eyes like that lol.

Looks like there was an event at Roda Rico in São Paulo, Brazil, but it doesn't seem like there was any new stuff, though Guilherme Briggs was there. Here's some pictures (source 1, source 2, source 3, source 4, source 5, source 6, source 7, source 8, source 9, source 10, source 11):

How so?? At least Optimus is correct, he's 20' tall in the film and this statue is 20' tall

Huh that’s pretty neat. I stayed at the Marina Bay back in 2019 and really enjoyed it. The gardens there and the hotel are very nice. But usually crawling with people. I’m certain many are enjoying seeing the statues though.

lol these statues are FAR from life sized
