While the Internet Slime trend might be on the decline, it isn't too late for brands to get in on the sticky situation. As evidenced by the Transformers brand, who have licensed out to promotional product company ATN (or All Nice Things) Vending for a series of slimes based on the flagship characters of the brand. The ones revealed so far consist of putty based on Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee (twice), and Grimlock, all using their Evergreen product designs. Take a look at the product images below, and to find out when these slimes hit stores, keep following Seibertron.com!

I don't need the slime but those containers look great for small items so I may bite.

It's just very squishy energon. Don't squish it too much it will explode!

Also... it would have been cooler if they put these in clear cubes! I can understand why they didn't thought. One because those little machines use gravity to feed them and rounded objects move better. Also cylinders can be stronger than cubes because there aren't as many stress points.

my bone of contention with a lot of the transformers non transformer merchandise is the lack of Decepticons. Its mostly Bee, or Prime. Very rarely does Megatron rear his head and even more rarely another Decepticon.

It's almost like Hasbro does not want to promote the bad guys in any way, or treating the bad guys as a necessary evil so the good guys have a reason to be there. I really would just like to get my mits on more Decepticon goodies. (I'll take a pot of Megatron though)

I recalled asking hasbro this when they were at a local convention, and they said it doesn't sell - but any time Decepticon does show up, its snapped up.

Has anyone else noticed this?

So...
Are those things the results of some transformer's "happy time"? :-?

It probably has to do with bad guy merch not selling as well.

You'll probably remember this story we posted just last June about a commercial made for Chile based soda company Bily Y Maik, in which the two characters met the Transformers, who were sporting the 'evergreen' designs.

The same company has now posted a video breaking down the animation process used in the commercial, which you can watch on Vimeo or embedded below in our news story. Take a look, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

This is unrelated to Cyberverse.

Not quite, or rather other way around: Cyberverse took its main design cues from the Evergreen designs didn't it?

My point was that those responsible for making the brand's evergreen character designs and those responsible for making the Cyberverse cartoon are not the same party.

This one really comes out of nowhere and is something I have never seen before. You know claw machines, the ones where you have a insert some coins for your chance to grab a plushie or toy using a claw (aka, the CLAW), well the ones I have always seen usually have random prizes inside, it's never thematic. However, a fan found a Transformers themed claw machine in Victoria Gardens shopping centre in Richmond, Australia. It uses Emiliano Santalucia's Evergreen Transformers designs both in the artwork and in the plushies up for grabs. These plushies have never been shown, found or revealed elsewhere. They include Bumblebee, Megatron and Optimus in both their modes. The fan who found this is JoemasterII who posted it on the TFW2005 message boards. You can see the pic they posted below:

They're just plush toys. I loathe the day "Evergreen" got into this fandom's vernacular.

Its part of Hasbro's too, they use it in interviews.

Fans love Emiliano Santalucia's Transformers designs which Hasbro dubbed Evergreen. As the name suggests, these are the standard designs we will constantly see for our favourite Autobots and Decepitons on many licensed. I wanted to share one such product now since to date it features the greatest amount of said designs. This activity book, found in Canada, contains physical stickers of these designs, like the previously seen Ratchet and Hound images.

There are also cutouts to make small standees along with colouring pages showing these designs in the best detail yet. The rest of the book contains various activities. Enjoy the photos and designs!
