O, the redeco of DotM Bumblebee? Only showed up at Costco in the US and Canadian Tire where you are. He should still be at the latter as he was stocked for 2014 holiday season.

Canadian Tire? Not in my area. I hunted for TFs over there before, during, and after the Holidays and until the toys were all gone, I never saw him. Maybe that bee was a no-Quebec-English-only situation.

At least, at Canadian Tire during the very end of the Holidays toy clearance, I got this funny UFO at an incredible price:

Put it in a catapult and send the thing flying! People will have a ard time identifying it!

Seriously, it's my personal pet name for bizzare things.

Is this the bumblebee that this thing is for?

Well, this is a repaint of the DOTM Leader sans the big-ass weapon thing. So, in all logic, it could be compatible. That is, if you find it for dirt cheap.

Hell, the AOE Leader sold for the SAME price as the DOTM one! With LESS paint aps and the big weapon REMOVED! Thatl about being greedy.

Hoping the Cyber series 7 inch line does a toy for Rid2015 Steeljaw. Think the current RID Steeljaw toys are either too tiny or not articulated enough.

The cyber series wont help improve the articulation.

And appear to be G1-centric/inspired.

Thought Cyber series 7 Grimlock and Bumblebee were RID2015 toys. As the RID2015 Promo art borders were all over the Cyber pics.

They're labeled as "Generations" in the listings.

That seems to be the default, really. Probably more noteworthy when something isn't at least half G1-based.

Which is the most amazing part of Robos in Disguise. The only G1 based stuff is bumblebee, optimus, sideswipe and a few more autobots that might join the fray.

Grimlock sorta is, but yeah, it's a breath of fresh air.

Though I wouldn't mind Fixit being more like his G1 self and not showing up in the cartoon.

Anybody else getting the vibe this might be a non America exclusive line?

Anyone know when those Cyber thingies are coming to the UK? either TRU, Smyths Toys, The Entertainer, Argos, A1toys, B&M & maybe even Tesco & Asda'll probably pick those up(if they ever do reach the UK). Optimus looks weird! but I kinda like Megs

These have not been announced officially yet and we dont know anything about their release dates (or their price, for that matter). We dont even know if they will be available outside of the Brazil market.

All we know is this: the age required to play with these toys, that they will be available in brazil in 2015, and their size. that's it.

We had previously reported on a new Transformers "cyber" line which featured simplified Transformers toys of G1 characters. These came in 11 and 7 inches (each had their own Bumblebee). The facebook page Cybergeek's alliance has new images featuring all 7 inch figures from this new Cyber Battalion line (which were initially from the Transformers Columbia facebook page). Below you will see images of Cyber Battalion 7 inch Megatron, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Optimus (first time we see him) and Starscream which happens to the same mold previously found as a prototype at the Children's Museum exhibit. This confirms that the prototype found there was of an upcoming figure instead of a discarded one. Images of the boxes are also available, and each lets us know how many steps are involved in transforming the figure. Please give us your thoughts on this new line now that we have clearer images (mirrored below).

they look OK but grimlock looks like RID grimlock in movie toy colors

I personally dont mind if they have simplified transformations. What bothers me is that it looks like they have a severe lack of articulation. Wrist articulation is obviously 0 here.

I'm personally OK with this line. This is basically the upscaled legion figures again, and they look good. Very simple yet very to the point. The figures look like their character, have the necessary articulation for playability, and convert very quickly for rapid transformation and play. I really like it. This should be done instead of 1-step and 3-steps: It's only a bit more complex yet still fun and playable and are not bricks.

Sadly it seems that the upscaled legends are still a thing...

Oh well, more money that will hopefully be fed into the Generations line.

They look like fun. I like the designs of both moods on all those guys. I really like that Megatron.
But hey! Their for the kids. I don't think I need 'em, but I got a nephew who does.

Not bad, actually. I'm thinking this may be a next step up for my 4.5 year old nephew from his Rescue Bots. It's a shame the figures have pretty sparse paint apps. A little more paint to bring out the mold details would improve these significantly. Heck, if that Starscream were more properly G1-colored, it could have been a contender for the Classics shelf as a nicely upsized alternative to the deluxe Classics mold from 2006.
