The Energon Pub

Just bought the movie edition of bumblebee today at Target in Arlington Heights, IL!

Very nice!

I saw a bunch in Toronto today, but held out getting them because I wanted the US packaging. Even the autobots get teh decepticon symbol on the card in canada and from what I could remember, there was no bio on the back, just the list of available figures.

They did have all the Robot Heroes, FABs, and Starscream Nerf gun as well!

I saw the FABs, CyberStomper Bumblebee and Prime, the Prime voice changer, and the stuffed Prime and Bumblebees at a SW Florida KMart today.

I got the Cyberstompers for my soon to be 5 year old but they would not sell me the FABs.

im planning on checking out my kmart tomorrow.

i got one too, but i'm having trouble getting it back into vehicle mode: the front part of the hood won't stay in place, a spring-loaded mechanism is making it go back down. any advice?

the button on the hood didn't do anything (as per the instructions) and so i forced the front part down and nothing *seems* damaged, but it won't flip back up..

THANK YOU!

I'm having the exact same problem.

I almost made the exact post, word for word as yours

that sucks, i'm sorry to hear i'm not alone with this issue. i have a feeling that i am going to really hate "automorph" features. i have a few leaked movie figures, but for the most part, the ones that have "automorph" have primarily been a pretty inconsequential way of saying "when you push this piece out, a plastic nub also pushes another piece into place" but Bee's feature breaks him.

i'm going to return it tomorrow and hope they still have brawl to exchange it for, (which i left on the shelf because i've had a pretty bad experience with the past few tank transformers they've put out... seriously, between titanium megatron, and the "double pack classics" megatron, its like they can't make a decent tank character!)
