I'm digging this. They got a nice representation of the different forms of Prime, with some nice gimmicks that enhance the theme further. I'm really impressed to see a removable Matrix for this demographic segment.
Transformers One Power Flip Optimus Prime Revealed
Via Screenrant we have our first stock images of the new Transformers One Power Flip Optimus Prime toy. This Power Flip Optimus Prime is targeted at younger fans and can transform between Orion Pax, Cybertronian Truck toy, the main Optimus Prime figure, and Ultimate Optimus Prime modes. It also...

Not the type of thing I normally buy, but it is a very neat figure. I always like it when a figure has multiple robot modes. It's something I'd like to see more of in the main line.
More toys revealed, via CBR. One Steps and Robot Battlers.
news.tfw2005.com
One Steps are leaning into the T-Cog theme present in the film, while Robot Battlers are a gimmick oriented line that at least kept the converting aspect of the brand. I like that One steps keep that theming around the T-Cogs we saw in the trailer, and it's nice to see some different faces in the product line aside from the "big 5 (or 6)" we've been hearing about and featured in the trailer.
Robot Battlers don't do anything for me. I know they're for kids, but the figures look massively compromised for an iffy play pattern and the pricing ($5 more than the, generally, novel One Steps) don't do them much favors.
Notable, Airrachnid and Wheeljack are teased in the One Step line (After Airrachnid's brief look in the trailer). Remains to be seen how big the characters feature. Airrachnid does NOT feature a faction symbol, interestingly.
Sentinel Prime's cyberjet mode is VERY evocative of the Siege tetra jet look.
Transformers One Mainline Cog Changers & Robot Battlers Revealed
We have more new Transformers One mainline toys revealed today. Following the big Power Flip Optimus Prime, now via CBR.com we can share for you our first images of the upcoming Transformers One Cog Changers & Robot Battlers. These toys are aimed to younger fans, easy to transform and to play...

Someone stop me! I'm about to headcanon Airachnid as one of Taranatulas arachnoids that gained a spark.
I do like that even the Rock-'em Sock-'em robots can transform. Not great transformations, mind you, but it's something.
I knew it. Optimus Prime was Orion Pax with his pants pulled down this whole time!
I mean, that's typically how things go once you get a job in politics.
The director admitted that was done on purpose because of how heavy the actual movie gets.
He's a Pixar alum who wrote Inside Out. It would not surprise me if he managed to get REAL emotions from people watching this film
Really liking that Quintesson with his little energon cube accessory.
He's cool and all, but I object to the assertion that his jet mode is "Cybertronian" or that anything about him is "iconic."
I know marketing people gotta marketing, but jeeeeeez.
Pile of exclusives!

This explains some of the earlier listings found. Which leads me to think the US "mass retail" toy line is going to be about as modest as Rise of the Beasts
Some of these, like the 1 Step 3 pack and Quintesson, I wouldn't be surprised to see wider release overseas (like the infamous "Core Deluxe and Voyager" RotB figures).
I'm amused to see the Quintesson cited as "Warrior Class", when Hasbro seems to have shifted to calling the price point "Prime Changers". I'm surprised to see them dusting off the RiD Minicon Delployer pattern in here.
Transformers ONE Exclusives Reveal – Quintesson High Commander and More
Hasbro revealed another round of Transformers ONE movie toys today with exclusives slated for Target and Walmart later in the year. No pre-orders specifially dated any time soon inside. Included are various size and price variants of the core team including Ultimate Energon Optimus Prime...

Not just the pattern-- Megatron is a remold of Overload.
Between that and the Botshots, I wonder what other older molds they'll dust off.
I'm not a fan of Quintesson's transforming, but hot damn that alt-mode looks fantastic in an alien organic way.
