I find it so interesting that finger skates are coming back. I've been seeing so much Tech Deck product at Target its crazy..I also had no idea that Hot Wheels was starting to do them. It's quite nostalgic but man, do I feel old

Following initial word of an assortment of Hot Wheels cars in decidedly non-Transformers based vehicle options we have our first look at two somewhat more accurate takes on two recognizable characters.

First up we've got a listing for Hot Wheels Track Fleet Optimus Prime straight from Big Bad Toy Store. This isn't just a random semi truck painted up like OP but a new model complete with the instantly recognizable removable trailer design. This is a 1/64 diecast vehicle and at least BBTS has it priced at $10 and shipping in July. This is a new line launching in 2024 so it's hard to tell just how well it'll be distrubted.



Then we've got Bumblebee who may or may not be the same one from the initial listing above. It's a classic yellow BW Beetle, not the scrunched up one we know and love from G1. The photos are posted by rj_nighthawk on Reddit who says he received it from a local Facebook pre-order listing not expecting it to not only be a leaked copy but also unriveted. As the photos show the car shell may very well be a generic body that is used regularly by Hot Wheels, but the underside features Bumblebee's face and Hasbro copyrights.













It'll be interesting to see exactly how this Bumblebee will be released and if we'll see more figures alongside him. And who knows, maybe there's a Track Fleet Motormaster on the horizon as well? Let us know what other characters you'd like to see or if this line is a total pass for you in the Energon Pub forums!

Cute!

Reminds me of the spy changers from the early 2000s, it was always exciting to upstage my friends at the hot wheels roller coaster set with a Transformer compatible with those sets. I still have a translucent green Mirage on my desk from that time.

I love me some Spy Changers, but these are more reminiscent of Speed Stars to me.

I have seen reported elsewhere these may have different color tires to increase collectability. At least Bumblebee

I would've waited an eternity for this
