And they have that Animated style so Double Crap.

Those old McDonalds Happy Meal toys that transform from the menu are cooler.

I was gonna buy the Decepticon one, since my Transformers flatbrim cap is an Autobot one, but these pictures have totally sold me on the Autobot one. The colors and face are too awesome. Must own.

Anyone know when/if BBTS is gonna start taking pre-orders?

Well, is there a story to go along with them? 'Cause I see interesting possibilities, mostly starting with a Decepticon mind-control plot.

Say, anyone remember that kids' show with the mannequin that came to life whenever someone put his magic hat on him? Well maybe the mannequin was actually a transtector...damn, If I could remember the name of that show, I'd already be researching it on Youtube for future fanfic.

Cap-Bots RULE!!!

Nice! Thank you!

Do I have to buy them both? I'd be fine with just getting Optimus Prime.

Now just give me a Starscream that turns into a top hat, and I'll buy.

The Megatron looks awesome, but I don't think I would ever actually pick one up. Cool idea though, like the shoes they released a few years back.

No! Of course they can't be worn. They're not real hats. Seriously, who would ask that?

What if

Mario wears one of them? Possession? Strength? The choice to join either team?

I could see if this were a Hasbro product that they could work with MLB, NHL, NFL and the NBA and license these out and have them in sports stadium souvenir shops

I hate flat brimmed hats, but I'll grab these for the oddity factor.
