Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.
You may have seen plushy large keychains clipped to back packs before, but have you ever seen some that transform? We have a new product reveal today coming from wholesaler ACD Distribution called Clip Bots. These are clippable plushies featuring our favourite Transformers characters in their evergreen designs (which is basically G1). The characters included in the case appear to be Bumblebee, Optimus, Sundwave, Starscream and Rodimus. The image shows that they can turn into their alt modes, which is most probably achieved by turning the plushy inside out or having the alt mode wthin the plushy.

I really like the look of these figures, but would anyone happen to know a price for these guys? I hope they make guys like this for movie characters. These sorta remind me of those transformable Optimus and Bumblebee plushes that were released years back.
Hmmm check out Bumblebee on the box art, the head looks very similar to the prequel comic image from his upcoming movie.
And his chest seems looks like it could be the roof of his VW mode from that movie...wondering if that might be our first "full" look at his design in there?
No... sadly it's not. That Bumblebee is based on the evergreen design for the character, and that design will be used in the Cyberverse TV show. Check images and you'll see they're identical. Also the lights on a VW Bug are circular, and the ones on his shoulders are rectangular.
The bumblebee in that image is the evergreen design not the movie design
The movie design was revealed and while I cannot post it here, anyone can see what he will look like in the film with a quick google search, its the first result that comes up http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bumblebee+movie+robot+mode

It seems to me that the alt modes, as well as the robot modes are more based on G1 designs rather than the evergreen designs which I'm all for. Look in the box and you'll see soundwave turns into a little Casset player, and out side it are G1 inspired vehicles for Bee and starscream. The evergreen stuff has bees car mode with stripes and a spoiler, and soundwave turns into a weird SUV.
We knew these were coming since Toy Fair, and you can see our whole gallery of these plush toys here. However, we had no word on price or if they were even going to show up in the US. Well now we do. Podcast superstar XRotrostormX has found these for $5.99 each at Meijer. As written in the title, these plushies to transform, and into their G1 alt modes. Soundwave even becomes a tape deck. You can see the image of the sighting below along with examples of these plushies in both robot mode and alt mode. The characters included in the case appear to be Bumblebee, Optimus, Sundwave, Starscream and Rodimus.

I need one of the plush screamers - if anyone can grab one or two for me - send me a message.

And boy do we have fun." - Starscream "You're one of...those, Never understood why any self respecting Decepticon would choose auto-mobile as his vehicle mode when he could have flight." - Starscream "For a guy hearing voices of the dead, you've got a pretty insensitive view of Mental Health" - Bumblebee Starscream's Shrine ~ Fan Art ~Collection~Sunstar's Discord - join today!
I find it interesting, that if you look at the last box there is clearly art showing Bee's altmode as a Camaro of sorts instead of the small VW bug like car. I'm glad they went with the bug instead as a camaro would've felt out of place in this set. It also looks like Hot Rods car won't be his G1 alt mode, rather a muscle car, which I find odd, but it's no big deal. Hopefully we get a Jazz and Megatron down the line. A tiny grimlock would be awesome too!
