We're really closing in on to the completion of ROTB lineup. Next we have the [somewhat bearable] human character of ROTB, Noah Diaz [Exo Suit].

A long overdue review. Had finished the photography last week but haven't got around to sit and start writing.
Presenting the leader of the Maximals in Rise of The Beast, SS106 Leader Class Optimus Primal
In Package
Perfect choice for the box's artwork. Optimus Primal in gorilla mode looks as intimidating as it gets. One thing I never got used to is how soft the boxes are nowadays.
Moving on to our next review, the Autobot that was clearly meant to replace Bumblebee (and I actually like the character), Mirage
Before we proceed...
huhuuu Mirage should be an F1 car..
huhuhuuu he should be called Jazz instead...
Get over it. As much as I like G1, this is not

We're almost closing the chapter of Rise of The Beast Studio Series, impressively in less than 1 year. Our next release is Studio Series ROTB Terrocon Nightbird, the last of the bad guys trio.
Nightbird is based on her G1 iteration of the same name, which is also a cool, ninja-like assassin.

I can't say that I've been waiting for this for quite some time as I generally have a rule to not 'upgrade' my existing figures (as it would be an endless cycle of buying the same figure). No excuse for getting this. I have display for my Movie 86 fig (with Kingdom Magnus) and 1 display for Headmaster series.
I'm bumping my Kingdom Magnus to the Headmaster series so technically I don't have a duplicate figure

We side step Studio Series release of ROTB and venture into the single release from Takara, of ROTB Leader Class Primal.

We're getting closer to completing Rise of The Beast lineup under the Studio Series. Up next is the 3rd Maximal, Rhinox.

Now let's move away from the Studio Series and visit a line released specifically for kids, the Rise of The Beast 2-In-1 Converting Mask. So far there are 2 releases, Bumblebee and Optimus Primal
First, let's see Bumblebee

Saving the best for last. The SS ROTB releases that caught the attention of the fans when first revealed.
SS-101, the first of the 2nd hundred lineup, starting up strong. Terrocon Scourge, the leader of the Terrocon. The big baddy

Moving on to the 2nd Beast release of SS ROTB, Cheetor. Just revisiting Beast Wars, personally for me Cheetor was the Bumblebee of the series. Had always loved his character's growth and arcs.

Withith Transformers: Rise of the Beast upon us, let us review the toys for the characters of the movie, under the Studio Series line, brought to you courtesy of Hasbro SG and Hasbro MY
First up, SS-97 Airazor, voiced by beloved Malaysia legend, Tan Sri Michelle Yeoh

Let's move away from the beasts for now
Now for a figure that I was more curious about than the rest, SS-99 ROTB Battletrap. I can't put my finger why Battletrap feels a bit more different aesthetic wise, from the rest of Studio Series Live Action releases.

Buying by association.
One of my issues in collecting. I had kept 1 Legacy Armada Starscream since I have an extra unit but he'd be lonely. So I need to have Armada Hotshot.
Jokes aside though. This year we'll see the release of rebooted Armada figure, namely Armada Optimus Prime (Commander Class) and Armada Megatron (Leader Class).
Of the 3 Unicron-Trilogy series, Armada is the one that desperately need a reboot due to the poor execution despite cool concept.

It seems like Hasbro is not letting the TF Fans rest, despite there's only few days left till new year. When you thought that Haslab Victory Saber was supposed to be last, BOOM came Legacy Evolution, Wave 1.
For this wave, the most sought after are 2 release, Deluxe Breakdown (for obvious reason) and Voyager Tarn, which we'll be looking at now
Alt Mode
Now, let us continue with the 2nd half of the release.
Victory Leo, the reformatted God Ginrai.
Part 1 of the review can be found here.
Victory Leo (Alt Mode 1)
Finally got time to do the review of the latest (and my 3rd) Haslab after Unicron and ML Sentinel. Another must-have for me since the Japanese G1s are part of my collections.
Haslab Victory Saber was announced in 2021.
In Package
I think this is a fairly awaited figure from Legacy. From my observation the appeal of Beast Wars characters not as good as the core G1 releases (by not much) but I've seen considerable interest for this.
With the release of BW Inferno, the original lineup for Predacons and Maximals are complete, understandable that they ventured further. But skipping Transmetal and going directly to Transmetal 2 seems a bit weird. Possibly due to 1) POTP already released his counterpart and 2) to venture farther away then 'another T-Rex' albeit it's not really the same.
Alt Mode
It's been quite sometime since I review a Transformers figure so let's us see Takara latest release, MPG-02 Getsuei.
I had planned on reviewing the team since Shouki but there was an issue and I had to wait for quite sometime for the replacement. By the time I got him, don't really felt like doing review anymore
In Package
It's time for the this year Titan. In my experience, he had a cold reception when it was revealed, almost the same as the Ark last year.
True, he may not be something for those who focused on G1 characters. But as a Titan, let's find out
