One of the most fun parts of the Rise of the Beasts toy line has been the beast-based Battle Masters such as Skullcruncher.  Sure we had plenty of Battle Masters to buy for a while during the War for Cybertron trilogy but most of them did not have beast modes.  Now thanks to K.I.D. Toy we have stock photos of one (final?) Battle Master: Airazor!   No telling when this will hit North American shelves just yet.  For now, enjoy the photos in the gallery below.
