Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is steadily approaching. Well, we still have quite a while to go, but we’ll have plenty of Transformers news straight from Cybertron to keep us busy. Not only will we have more trailers, teasers and posters for the upcoming sequel, we’ll also have brand new action figures of our favourite transforming legends, as well as the new characters that’ll be joining the live-action franchise. To kick things off, Hasbro has unveiled two brand new figures- one from each faction.
First we have Autobot Arcee who tranforms into her motorcycle. In the movie, Arcee will be voiced by Liza Koshy. Then, we have the Terrorcon known as Freezer who, according to Hasbro, has 3 different transforming alt modes, one of which is a tank-like mode somewhat reminscent of Megatron’s tank in Revenge of the Fallen.
Check out Autobot Arcee and Terrorcon Freezer below:
Returning to the action and spectacle that have captured moviegoers around the world, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts will take audiences on a ‘90s globetrotting adventure with the Autobots and introduce a whole new breed of Transformer – the Maximals – to the existing battle on earth between Autobots and Decepticons.
The upcoming sequel from Paramount Pictures is directed by Steven Caple Jr and stars Anthony Ramos, Dominique Fishback, and Luna Lauren Velez. In addition to that, the legend that is Peter Cullen will be back to voice the great Optimus Prime alongside Ron Perlman who will voice Optimus Primal, a transforming gorilla and leader of the maximals. The cast also now includes Peter Dinklage (Scourge), Liza Koshy (Arcee), John DiMaggio (Stratosphere), David Sobolov (Rhinox/Battletrap), Michaela Jaé Rodriguez (Nightbird), Cristo Fernández (Wheeljack), and Tobe Nwigwe (Reek), Michelle Yeoh (Airazor), and Pete Davidson (Mirage).
