While Seibertron was busy taking photos at Hasbro's Transformers product display at Toy Fair 2007, GetterDragun was busy taking videos of 3 products from the upcoming Transformers Movie line, which he was kind enough to share with all of us. Check out video demonstrations of the Optimus Prime Electronic Helmet, Ultimate Bumblebee and Optimus Prime Blaster toys by clicking here.

Also we would like to give a special thank you to diablien for re-encoding the videos to include the Seibertron.com watermark.

What impressed me the most was if you listen to the motors on bumblebee towards the end of the video where the motors are going and his arms are moving. It's a very impressive figure.

- I'm pretty sure that wasn't Cullen's voice on the helmet, so pass 1.
- That Bumblebee is lame in every way. It talks, but the one in the movie can't? That doors moving to show emotion(like a dog's ears) trick sucks too. Not to mention "Whip it". Pass 2.
- The Optimus Prime blaster has a trailer, but movie Prime can't? It becomes Prime's forearm which actually holds the gun, while the movie has "arm cannons". Pass 3. You're out...of my cash, Hasbro.

I think that's Gary Chalk's voice from and that's pretty good for me.

I think the blaster and helmet are pretty cool! I think for a kid, these are great toys.

I thought Garry Chalk as well, which is a definite plus for me. Sure as heck beats the generic Optimus voice on the 20th DVD Prime.

Out of curiosity Bluebullet, what upcoming products are you interested in from the Transformers line?

The movie? The Real Gear Laserbeak and possibly the Mr. Potato Head Prime(name eludes me) if it counts. The Robot Heroes, the Titanium line, and the new Attactix wave look promising. The appearance of the movie figures and the thought of giving Michael Bay money puts me off heavily, plus Hasbro will want to put out as many figures as they can and make as much money as they can, too, so production cost cuts will make the figure quality terrible. I'm planning on trying to get a few figures I missed out on with Ebay. Armada Starscream is extremely tempting.

I saw the blaster video awhile ago. I'd love to see the other two but this crummy computer isn't downloading them right.

Another time maybe!

Man, none of you guys have quicktime installed?!?! I guess we shoul've just made them FLV's instead. ;-T

I think they are all pretty cool and definitely worthy to be added to my collection. But, there is a downside- that being the Optimus helmet. It reminds me of those voice-changers from the late 80s. Lame then and lame now. And, don't get me started on Gary Chalk. Regardless, I will get it and keep it silent.

What I am really diggin' is Bumblebee. I like that one. And, I can see myself spending the extra for it.

I think that was Chalk to. Chalk and Cullen are the best primes so either voice will work for me. Bumblebee seems to gimiky. I might just buy it to keep in the box. Im sure it'll be worth something someday. The gun is cool. I like how it is molded somewhat after G1 prime. And why do i forsee a White version of the prime helmet?

I keep day dreaming about Ultimate G1 Optimus and Ultimate G1 Megatron, talking to each other ("One shall stand...") and doing battle to the tune of "You've got the touch!" Mmmm... Ultimate G1's.

Were Bumblebe's doors flapping while he talked. Umm, like a bee, i get it..... Looks like a nice one for the kiddies, as do the other 2. Too bad I'm not 5 or I'd have really wanted them. As an adult I'll pass.

I KNOW my gf is going to buy me the bumblebee though so that she can have it, since she loves the lil bugger. I'll hide him inside the MP-04 she got me as part of my bday presents. ;-)
