It looks like the ZipZap cars will not be the only remote controlled small cars based on the Transformers Movie to be sold by RadioShack. Octavius Prime of Allspark.com grabbed a copy of the RadioShack "Do Stuff" sales flyer dated for June and posted scans of it. Included in the flyer are Transformers Movie IR Racers Cars that Transform. The IR Racers are about the size and transform the same as Spychargers. They also feature some sort of remote control function with a control that looks like a gun. The three IR Racers pictured in the flyer are Optimus Prime, Barricade, and Bumblebee. The IR racers are priced at $14.99.

The flyer also shows images of Barricade and Bumblebee ZipZaps. Click here for links to the flyer scans.

I'm not sure I'm understanding this, and those pictures don't seem to help. The controller-gun reminds me of the NES Zapper.

[Liege Evilmus]

$24.99 for that CyberStomp'n crap!?!

No Thanks.

Those little gun guys look cool though

[Megatron Wolf]

The IR racers are cool. If i see the Barricade one im going to pick it up.

[Air Commander Starscream]

I will pick up the Barricade Zip Zap. I would love to see what my dogs and my Fiance's dog would do to it lol. I know my 2 westies would flip out and hunt it down.

Dog's chasing a little Zip Zap = Fun for hours!

The IR racers are cool. If i see the Barricade one im going to pick it up.

Agreed!

[Ballistic90]

I want the Optimus Prime one. I always wanted a Spy Changer Optimus

[Booda]

Are they going to have those little foot-wheel things that a lot of 80's toy robots had to simulate walking? Kind of like Omega Supreme, but less cool?

[Exulted Unicron]

this is a first...RC micromasters

[Zeedust]

Tiny transforming RC cars? This is what I was hooping for, Radio Shack. I'm getting Barricade. If I like him, I'm getting the other two also. When are thse out?

Bleh, pretty ordinary.
These were popular a few years back, so who knows, maybe they'll come full circle again.
