The Energon Pub

Coming from Juegos Juguetes y Coleccionables (Games, Toys, and Collectibles for our non-Spanish speaking members) we have an image of the new World's Smallest edition of Transformers.



Now it is important to note that these are the company named World's Smallest making their rendition of non-transforming Transformers.

They are not the same as the Smallest Transforming Transformers aka 極小変形 トランスフォーマー Kyokushō Henkei Transformers aka the "World's Smallest Transformers" aka "WSTFs" by fans, which was a line created by Takara back in 2003. It consisted of Generation 1 characters in the smallest transformable form possible.

Smallest Transformers Bumblebee (Bumble) Gallery

Although Takara produced a multitude of mini versions of our favorite iconic characters we so far only have an image of Bumblebee and Starscream from World's Smallest. Just the same these look like fun G1 renditions of the characters that would be fun to have on any desk or shelf. There is no current release date or price listed however World's Smallest distributes through Amazon and their products of this type are typically around $12.00.

And while on the subject of smaller bots and Bumblebee in particular this seems like an opportune spot to post these really neat images of the Bumblebee Hallmark ornament which appears to be available for order now at $16.99. You can order online at Hallmark.com.











Enjoy the images and as always share your view with the Seibertron crew!

I thought World's Smallest had made the WSTFs, but I guess I'm wrong. Thanks for the fact!

These look cool to collect, but I prefer the actual transforming ones. If only they weren't so expensive (40$ for a Soundwave is outrageous)

I honestly was also unaware I love little factoids like that...
And I’m the same way maaan, if it doesn’t transform and if it’s not an Action Master, I mean, what the hell are we doing here? Come on now.

Oh man I would love LOVE one of all those Teeny Takara Titans I mean just Metroplex Metroplex Metroplex that’s where I’ll be for the next few days just in Metroplex playing with those. So rad.

this was the perfect line to reissue the old wst Transformers, and... they blew it

Thanks to news member William-James we have a heads up on some new listing information for the World's Smallest editions of Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Power Rangers.

The first part of this story is the listing for the World's Smallest Transformers over at DeepDiscount.com. It appears listed as World's Coolest Transformers but is specified as World's Smallest Transformers with the current details:
Brand: Worlds Smallest
UPC: 810010990204
Item #: 2162551X
Available Date: 7/31/2019
Model Number: 587
List price $13.00

Then over at TheToyBook.com we have some nice images of the upcoming products from each of the above mentioned properties. The article states from Transformers we can expect Optimus Prime, Starscream, and Bumblebee. From G.I. Joe we'll be getting Snake Eyes, Duke, and Roadblock.

Although there's not specifics on which Power Rangers we will see the image provided does show the Yellow and Pink Rangers from the original U.S. series along with a note about the card backs listing product name placeholders. The card back itself appears to be from the Ninja Steel line of Power Rangers. Although not clear on all images, the power ranger image in the foreground does specify these as key-chain action figures.


Each of these will be an articulated figure on reproduction card backs, which for Transformer fans will no doubt be a big part of the appeal.

Enjoy the images and as always share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forums!

13$ is a tough pill to swallow for each of these, although they do look articulated.

Dude like super articulated but $13.00 bucks?! That's practically a deluxe Siege figure come on now.

I wonder how these will look with the most recent Metroplex and Fort Max figs? $13 is steep, though.

I think they would scale just right with those figures, if you wanted to used the FOC game as a decent example of scale.

The Transformers would scale perfectly with the Titan class dudes, and the G.I. Joes with Masterpieces. If they do a Cobra Commander with the helmet and faceplate, I will buy with no hesitation.

I think the World's Smallest GI Joe's are too small for Masterpiece, but I think the actual 4 inch ones would fit in quite nicely.

Not quite. I’ve got a good number of them and I feel they’re a little too tall.

Hasbro would never allow another company to make Transformers that transform. Takara Tomy is a little more lenient with oddball things like candy toy kits, hats, teddy bears and pens, but not Hasbro.

Do they transform?

We previously reported on the existence of the Transformers G1 Bumblebee 2019 Hallmark Keepsake ornament here a little while back but now we have an actual sighting thanks to fellow Seibertronian GeekyGamerGal! Now it may give you pause to start grasping the notion of Winter holidays in the middle of a summer like this one but for collectors like us, there's never really a bad time let's be honest. The Bumblebee ornament's tag lists its price at $16.99. If you can't find this at your local retailer it can be ordered at Hallmark.com.

Check out the image below where they've kindly included the Ecto-1 Ghostbusters ornament hanging beside it. No, it's not an Ectotron ornament, but really, it totally is. We've included the official product images from the previous article below the image of this recent sighting. As always share your view with the Seibertron crew in the forums and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Bought mine about three weeks ago. I posted it under another forum. But for a size comparison I included a photo., Overall not bad!

Shoot Mirage I’m sorry we missed that one it’s been hectic with the SDCC but keep on the lookout for us please we always value the help

No worries, i can only imagine. I dug through the forums to find the one for the ornaments and put it there. Don’t think i did for the Virginia Sighting forum where i am currently at but like I said, all good. I was just excited about getting him. It is a tad early (real early) but would be interesting to see who comes next in the line up.



SGM

Thanks I appreciate the understanding. Hey do you know how many more are expected?

If anyone in the Savannah, GA, area is looking for one, the Hallmark store in Oglethorpe Mall has them. We opted for the Star Wars B-wing and U.S.S. Enterprise 1701A since we already have an Action Master Bumblebee I turned into an ornament.

You may have just started something there, turning Action Masters into ornaments. Definitely not a bad idea depending on who it is.

SGM

All of their Transformers have been really good. Great sculpts. The look exactly like the toy versions except Optimus. He had this weird action pose. The rest have looked pretty spot on.

Agree, totally. Grimlock is one of my favorites in that line. I just can’t wait to be back home where I have all of them in one spot on a tree or wherever.

SGM

I got one about three weeks ago myself. I have all Hallmark Transformets ornaments as of now.....but I do have a gripe about Bumblebee......they did not use the original toy head for him....still like him but that was a bummer for me...

I was down a rabbit hole and found that Amazon has all three WS TF's in a single listing. Not a bad price, but I'm going wait to spot one at retail and see if the super impulse gets the better of me.

Amazon World's Smallest Transformers Bundle Set of 3 Mini Figures - Optimus Prime - Bumblebee - Starscream



On an interesting side note, it appears the figures can be removed from the back of the faux blister card via a trap door.



And what's up with Starscream's head? Seems unpainted in some of the images.

Dug deeper and they have Prime by himself and Bee & Prime.
