Paramount Pictures has finally brought “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts” home on digital video, with physical media releases coming later this year. But they’re also bringing Autobot Mirage right out of the movie and onto the show floor at San Diego Comic-Con, where fans can snap a selfie with the legendary Porsche 911.
In celebration of the hit film’s home entertainment debut, fans will not only have the opportunity to pose for a photo with Mirage, but they’ll receive a FREE, limited-edition poster designed by artist Orlando Arocena (better known as “Mexifunk”), and win digital codes to watch the adrenaline-fueled blockbuster at home. Fans who want their poster signed by the artist will also have a chance to meet Mexifunk at the Hasbro booth this Saturday, July 22nd between 6-7pm on the SDCC show floor.
In TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS, OPTIMUS PRIME and the AUTOBOTS take on their biggest challenge yet! When a new threat capable of destroying the entire planet emerges, they must team up with a powerful faction known as the MAXIMALS. With the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Noah (Anthony Ramos) and Elena (Dominique Fishback) will do whatever it takes to help the TRANSFORMERS as they engage in the ultimate battle to save Earth.
Then, get ready to roll out when the adrenaline-fueled adventure becomes available to buy or rent on Digital from Paramount Home Entertainment. Fans can watch all the action at home starting July 11, 2023.

At least the movie only runs 70 minutes, though I suppose that extra 10 technically disqualifies it from being a literal amateur hour.
