At that age he should already have a bb gun...

Oh my bad, that was the 80s. Today's parents treat 10 year old boys like 5 year old girls. I could never be a parent in today's society. For sure I would go to jail for letting my kid be cool.

Nowadays, in the USA, it's a freaking DEATH SENTENCE to let your kid play outside with a toy gun that just barely look realistic. Especially if the kid behaves like a normal kid, AKA like an idiot. And if your kid is black.

Pfft, what kid would want to play with a gun when they got Transformers to play with?

And thanks to this item, my collection will finally be complete. :KREMZEEK:

Didn't they have those for the first Movie and Amnimated?

The "Nerf" style Transformers guns were huge and much cooler. This is just a handgun sized toy that shoots traditional Transformers missiles. Probably a voyager or ultra sized vehicle mode.

This converting BUMBLBEE blaster changes to a battle-ready vehicle in one quick step. Roll out in vehicle mode, or convert to blaster mode and take the fight to the DECEPTICONS - you can launch missiles in both modes.

If it transformed into robot AND car AND the gun...I would have bought one for myself.

ARM-Laserbeak is still better than this.

Nothing says Transformers or Bumblebee more then shooting other people with a car gun.

Now Bumblebee represents shooting other people what a great role model!

Is there a release date on that gun?

I finally got around to scanning stuff in to the app. Pretty neat what they did. A little bummed the Tiny Titan cards are just rewards, but understandable. Guess I'm gonna have to fork over energon cubes for the Titan hero versions, or just scan them in at the store so I don't have to buy those horrible things!

Or, and this might be crazy, go without? I'm sure the game works fine. Personally I had a very bad experience with a mobile game so I stay away from those things with a 10 foot pole.

You're able to do that?

Hoppy Sunday robot fans! If you're part of a culture that celebrates today with eggs and baskets and hunting for the two, there may be a chance for a shellformer (heh) over at KMart - the ones in the photo below, specifically, are from Norridge, IL (just off Harlem), and are priced at 15.99 each for both the Transformers: Robots in Disguise and My Little Pony baskets, reports site owner Seibertron himself! Chance for a last minute hiding place filler?

Really? If I knew this was news worthy, I would've reported this a week ago -_-. (With that said, I still find it amusing that the show already has a licensed Easter basket.)

These started showing up the day after Valentine's. Walmart has similar baskets, but smaller. You'd think they'd include a cheap fast food level figure in these instead of all generic stuff with images on them, being based on toy licenses and all. Couldn't even be bothered to include proper candy for the price.

Ditto. These suckers showed up about two weeks ago at my Wal-Mart. Besides, no knock-offs, not interested. Anybody miss the days when a shoddy Devastator KO came out at Easter or Christmas?

Agreed. Pre-wrapped Easter baskets are traditionally supposed to be for TF knock-offs, which offer way more play value than these frisbees and yo-yos. Primus, how I wish I'd gotten the Transmetal Primal and Megs basket years ago, before the crackdowns.

I've seen a few newly KOed faces in baskets this year though, mostly in CVS and Dollar General (I think). The Hardtop and Superion-Maximus A-10 mold in one Unicron Trilogy themed basket, and a Bayniverse legend Ratchet in another. Nothing really worth bothering with though, not like 10 years ago with all them gestalt teams. And now the CW toys are too big to fit a whole team in a basket even if they were shrunk a bit, so that won't be happening with them, and Hasbro reaps another minor benefit of finally giving us combiners the size they should've grown to long ago!

Sun Apr 05, 2015 12:49 pm

And the one thing the basket doesn't contain is a transformer. :BANG_HEAD:

Sun Apr 05, 2015 3:01 pm

"Taffy candy"? Isn't that a bit redundant? All taffy is candy, as far as I know.

Wow, look at that sweet Bumblebee frisbee. I'm so jelly of whichever kiddy got this today.

I'm being a bit silly, but in serious, happy Easter everyone.

Even as a naive 8yo kid, I would be really, really disapointed by either of these baskets. The Pony one should have at least include a blind bag pony and the TF one should have at least include a minicon.
