Just when you thought it was done, Hasbro rolls out more Transformers goods for the Cyberberse toy line today with a reveal of the Transformers Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures Optimus Prime figure.
As we have seen with others like the Roll N Change, this 9-inch figure has yet another new transformation gimmick where you "smash" the toy. Look for this guy to hit stores in October 2022 for a price of $31.49 USD. Read on to see the official product information and images.
UPDATE - Rumors are flowing through back channels that this is the first release of Transformers: Rise of the Beast toys. For reasons unknown, possibly due to the delay of ROTB to 2023, are being released under the Cybertverse product line. This could explain why the Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime model is suddenly appearing under Cybeverse and may reveal it is in the ROTB film, but should be considered a rumor until it is confirmed officially.
Ages 6 and Up
Approx. Retail Price: $31.49

That looks great! Even though this wouldn't be something I would normally get, I'll probably buy it and keep it in the box.
What!! Thirty bucks??
It's kinda weird that they Incorporated the Bumblebee movie Optimus design in it, but it looks like a pretty good figure.
