TheTransformers: Rise of the Beasts toyline coincides with theseventh film in thelive-action film series. Much like the merchandising forBumblebee, the film's self-titled toyline is focused on kid-oriented products, with the collector-targeted figures released instead as part of the ongoingStudio Series line, co-branded with the film's title.

"Core" figures

Labeled by store listings as "Core Boys" products (not to be confused with the Coresize class seen in other toylines), these figures use the traditional Deluxe and Voyager size classes but without the "premium collector product" approach ofStudio Series, akin to the Deluxe Class offerings in the recentCyberverse andEarthSpark toylines, and were based on early film concept art due to time constraints.^[1] The Core figures' distribution differed depending on country, with the USA getting the Deluxes exclusively in twoTarget box sets (see below) and the Voyagers asWalmart exclusives, while everywhere else had normal distribution of individually packaged figures. Additionally, the Core line was not offered through the usual large online retailers such asAmazon for reasons unknown.

Autobots Unite

Drawing upon molds created for theBumblebee Energon Igniters toyline, the "Autobots Unite" subline features vehicular characters who can be propelled in alt-mode by an "energon core" motor, packaged with the larger Power Plus and Nitro Series products. Much of the line is unchanged re-releases, with a few redecos. This subline was not carried by the major retailers Target and Walmart. The Speed Series and Power Plus Series toys were also referred to as "Spark Racers" and "Spark Chargers", respectively.

Notes

• Much of the toyline, such as the "Core" toys and the entireAutobots Unite subline, was found at retail without a prior announcement from Hasbro.
• The firstRise of the Beasts toy was originally theBuzzworthy Bumblebee "Energon Escape"Bumblebee andOptimus Prime two-pack. The co-branding on the packaging was later changed to theBumblebee film, presumably due to the one-year delay ofRise of the Beasts.
