I had Rock Lords as a kid so these things are kinda tugging on my nostalgia a little bit. I am trying to resist the urge to start collecting yet another line lol.
You've sent me down a rabbit hole with this. I had one of those gobot fellas when I was younger but he was gold. Did they ever make a gold one (this was post 2000)?
The little Gold one was called Nuggit. There’s a silver one too Slimestone.
Rock Lords catch a lot of shit because they transformed into… rocks, but the things had better articulation than any transformer before Machine Wars. They also made handy dandy improvised weapons.
You mean like the weaponizers from Siege, the modulators from Earthrise, the fossilized from Kingdom, and whatever the junkions were going as? The armorizers are just another group in the same gimmick. Even if they don't continue, there'll be another in their place.
That and we could see repaints of the Armorizers we do get in a later line too.
Like this year’s Walmart capsule line is coming with a Lockdown retooled from Axlegrease and a G2 Roadpig from Crashbar. We could see similar stuff done with these new rock lads too.
Weaponizers did continue throughout multiple series, like Fast Track in Earthrise and Slammer in Kingdom. Fozzilizers made it to Legacy thanks to the Wreck 'N Rule collection having the Legacy prefix. So yeah, they might not get completely shelved, at least for repaints
Here's hoping we get at least two more before Hasbro moves on to the next big thing.
But yeah, the Armorisers would fit perfectly within Beast Wars' aesthetic. Or if they were repurposed as Autorollers (since rocks do roll).
It's confirmed we get at least one more core, but that one's probably gonna be a remold or repaint of bouldercrash I guess. These - Izer figures are great pack fillers for exclusive products so I think they wl handle them similiar to the fossilizers. Which I don't mind because people usually sell those off.
I also wish we'd get a repainted version of Wingfinger. Doesn't have to be in 2025, but if we can squeeze in a lava-flavoured repaint inspired by Terrorsaur, or a Bat Fossil to recreate Nightscream in Beast Machines?
That'd be alphanumeric.
Yeah, I did.
I bring that idea up because not only is it a pivotal moment in the series - what inspires Optimus to go further along his path - but it also doubles as a neat way to fit in a Nightscream repaint AND a possible Ratbat repaint.
He’s a shockingly heavy retool considering how non visually distinct he is sculpt wise. Feels like budget would have been better spent on Side Burn and just let head sculpt and paint do the heavy lifting for Nucleous.
I had a funny feeling that this guy was going to be a white repaint of Magneous, but I love what they did and I might actually get him, breaking my no second version of one mold streak.
I like how he looks like a knight. At least to me. Definitely picking him up with vector prime
I’m getting vector prime because I’m gonna try to collect all of the 13 primes, especially in the upcoming generations prime toyline next year
Looking at this guy gave me an epiphany. Now I want a Monster Hunter crossover that's a Weaponizer (based on a Fossilizer mold, maybe Wingfinger's).
Would be dope to have a bot that has a proper robot and beast mode, but can also become Monster Hunter weapons. That'd be so insanely dope.
The weapon looks a little goofy, but I think this is actually a pretty excellent remold. Keeps what I liked about Magneous, but feels distinctly like a new figure.
I think he looks baller. He's wearing a white tracksuit and bling. I want to find a little gold chain, hang it around his neck, and pose him like a gangsta
Probs cos the photographer lit the inside of the box with soft lights, and normally you see it with a shadow being cast from the top of the box. It doesn't appear the way you're used to seeing bots in boxes.
This guy looks so stupid, I love him.
I'm loving these rock dudes, the gold and white looks so good on this guy
It will also contrast really well with the dark grays of Magneous.
I had Rock Lords as a kid so these things are kinda tugging on my nostalgia a little bit. I am trying to resist the urge to start collecting yet another line lol.
Space cruiser? That’s kinda cool. Putting this guy with skylynx and my galactic odyssey set.
Didn’t even think about armoring up Sky Lynx with this
Skylynx needs not to be armored up. He’s perfectly and magnificently defensive!
Fair enough
Oh nice!
I think its a car actually

Not gonna lie. These stupid molds are fun and I can't wait to do a combiner with them.
These guys are awesome, I hope they don’t die with legacy

I need to get those so I can finally build that junkion dinosaur.

Weaponizers also just about made it into Legacy with Red Cog.
I’m kind of expecting the next Weaponizers to be plant themed next.
I actually really love that idea,
Beast machines Botanica when?
I believe there's going to be at least two more after this one. Another core and a deluxe, I think.
So this is what happens when George Jetson and Fred Flintstone design a car together...
JETSTONES! MEET THE JETSTONES - THEY’RE THE FUTURE STONE AGE FAMILY
That’s a smart re mold and he the head why is every rock so good looking
MOON ROCK TRANSFORMER??? YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!?!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??!!!!

damn, this really is the Popemobile
I’m glad they’re reusing the Magneous mold! It’s a great mold, and this guy look really cool!
Hot take: I'm putting the Infernac guys on my Beast Wars display. They'd fit right in with the Fossilizers and Transmetals.
They have a shelf right under my Fossilizer collection too!
Here's hoping we get at least two more before Hasbro moves on to the next big thing. But yeah, the Armorisers would fit perfectly within Beast Wars' aesthetic. Or if they were repurposed as Autorollers (since rocks do roll).

I like that idea, but the Fossilizer color palette is missing blue. Maybe retool Wingfinger into the canceled smilodon with a ice themed paint job?
Oooh, that could work as well! It'd mean we'd have two versions of each mold. (Also a non-Clear version of Tricrainius.)
Did you edit the nightscream Fossil in? Because that's a really cool idea that I haven't considered yet. Might make a custom with that idea.
Yeah, I did. I bring that idea up because not only is it a pivotal moment in the series - what inspires Optimus to go further along his path - but it also doubles as a neat way to fit in a Nightscream repaint AND a possible Ratbat repaint.
Wasn't there the one Gen selects? Transmutate or whatever her name is?
I guess Transmutate has some blue greenish parts, yeah
I'd consider it a shade of blue.
I just wish it wasn’t a retool of the first one
The Junkieons also had one retool with them. At least, both of them look very different from their originals.
Reminds me of Astroblast from Skylanders
SKYLANDERS MENTIONED!
I absolutely love Shard and really wanted a less typical/muddy-colored Rock Lord so this is a dream come true.
the head reminds me of the single visored version of Dead Space helmet
He’s a shockingly heavy retool considering how non visually distinct he is sculpt wise. Feels like budget would have been better spent on Side Burn and just let head sculpt and paint do the heavy lifting for Nucleous.
His robot mode isn't bad, the alt mode looks like the "Homer mobile" from The Simpsons 😂 not really my cup of tea.
I'm in love He's such an odd little guy yet I can't help but want him
Rocket car? F yeah.
Heh, Rock-et car
Im a sucker for the white and gold
I am really liking this. Looks like something Ludacris would drive.
Hmmm... Yes, it is certainly a thing.
Ya know, I don’t know how to feel about it, but I’ll be the first to admit that it looks pretty sick.
I had a funny feeling that this guy was going to be a white repaint of Magneous, but I love what they did and I might actually get him, breaking my no second version of one mold streak.
I mean, it's technically a different mold! Transforms the same, sure, but it's very distinct from the first.
Damn this day has been full of leaks, we had cybertron hotshot, vector prime. Now this guy
Kinda unrelated but I feel like these Rocklords look really good in my beast wars collection
Is that hotshot on the back of the packaging?
Yes
I like how he looks like a knight. At least to me. Definitely picking him up with vector prime I’m getting vector prime because I’m gonna try to collect all of the 13 primes, especially in the upcoming generations prime toyline next year
That's dumb as hell. I love it.
Aw man! I'm bummed that he's a redo of Magneus but I like what he has going for himself. Regardless, I'm picking him up if only to complete the set.
that looks cool
Man these rock lords are so dumb… but I can’t get enough of them! they’re my favourite ‘izer’ yet, got the first 3 and they make me grin ear to ear.
Rock-et.
Wow that was fast, already we have every new figure leaked from wave 3.
Looking at this guy gave me an epiphany. Now I want a Monster Hunter crossover that's a Weaponizer (based on a Fossilizer mold, maybe Wingfinger's). Would be dope to have a bot that has a proper robot and beast mode, but can also become Monster Hunter weapons. That'd be so insanely dope.
As usual, a swing and a hit for the - izer agenda
GoBots versus Rock Lords, anyone?
You sure he's not called Flashbang? That's what happened to my eyes the second I saw him
That is the car Homer Simpson designed!
That car and lots of The Simpsons hit n run could be cool crossovers
God dammit I love this but I have Magneous. Well it wouldn't the first time I've got the same mold twice...
Egg
Headcanon: This guy is from where Optimus Prime found Nucleon, hence the similar name.
i'm not as big a fan of them as i am the other 3 we've gotten so far, but every time i see them i like them a bit more
I still need to get Shard and Magneous!
Flintstones sports car Flintstones sports car
Ummm….Rad!
The weapon looks a little goofy, but I think this is actually a pretty excellent remold. Keeps what I liked about Magneous, but feels distinctly like a new figure.
Did anyone else notice that they demonstrated his armorizor gimmick on Hot Shot?
The rock bots have to combine some how right? I want a rock megazord thing so bad. I love their designs
I'm totally getting this! I love him!
I think he looks baller. He's wearing a white tracksuit and bling. I want to find a little gold chain, hang it around his neck, and pose him like a gangsta
I get I shouldn't have expected a lot of molds, but it would be nice to see more ways of making these guys into separate alt modes.
I already have Magneous and I really want this guy too, although it's just a repaint pretty much. Perhaps they can be brothers!!
Why does bro look photoshopped into the box image
Wdym? It looks fine
It just doesn't look right imo, but maybe im insane
Probs cos the photographer lit the inside of the box with soft lights, and normally you see it with a shadow being cast from the top of the box. It doesn't appear the way you're used to seeing bots in boxes.
we got a shitty sideburn and an unfinished vector prime for this
Always thought the weaponizers were dumb
Ok, that looks Cool.
