First Ad for Transformers Bumblebee Movie Energon Igniters #JoinTheBuzz

I think these toys look like a lot of fun, but I'd rather buy the SS VW Bug Bee over the other Bees in this line, but I'm 100% buying the legion class toys and maybe the Nitro Barricade.

Cyberverse cartoon, take note. Actual Transforming toys that have gimmick laden altmodes and still look good

Yes, but I was more highlighting a concurrent toyline. Some of my favorite toys came from Cybertron though *Crosswise*

I have a crosswise story. It was once my most wanted toy (to find at a good price, of course). I always loved the look and I loved most of the cybertron line. Plus it had an amazing alt mode of what was at the time the most expensive car on earth (or just about). And i just couldnt find it at a good price. As I kept searching for it, it became more fabled in my head to the point where even the best toy wouldnt match my expectations. I ended up settling on the smokescreen version because what I really wanted was the mold. And boy was I underwhelmed. I dont know why but for some reason I never saw those two giant car side panels at the side of the robot. I didnt expect all that kibble there. So yeah, in the end, that toy didnt do it for me.

Anyways, more bumblebee news coming right up!

As of right now, we only know of one new mold being done for the main villain of the Bumblebee movie, Shatter, and it is her Transformers Titan Changer toy which transforms into a jet. Even though the toys were supposed to come out later in the year this toy, along with the entire wave of Titan Changers, is available for purchasing right now on Walmart.ca. It is $20 CAD. The wave also contains a new Bumblebee mold and the same Optimus Prime toy we previously saw in the Transformers The Last Knight line. We have stock images for each of these and these are the very first stock images we have ever had for Shatter and Bumblebee.

You can order them at the links below:

Shatter

Bumblebee

Optimus Prime

That Bumblebee is creepily skeletal. shatter looks okay though.

Um, are we sure if you order the figures from the site you'll GET those figures?

What makes you say that?

I wonder how well this line will do? Despite the collectors problems with the simplicity of the line, kids have no such objecions.

So far, my wants for this line are:
--- "Leader" Bee and Optimus
--- Legion Bee
I'll be skipping the SS Bee entirely. If the MP is good though, I may consider it.

Thanks to the Ozformers Facebook Member, Griffin, and a tip off from Seibertron Admin, Burn we have confirmed sighting of the Energon Igniter's line hitting store shelves! This follows on from the Transformers: Bumblebee Movie Titan Changers line being available to order from Walmart.Ca. As you can see from the photo's it is only the Energon Igniter's that were found so far. However it does seem that these toys have begun to trickle out, and will pick up pace in the coming months, leading to the film's release in December.

These were found at a Toymate in Robina, Queensland.





Will you be picking these up when you find them? Let us know i the comments and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I really like the new render of Bee on the box of that titan changer!

Youuuu betcha! I still sometimes have nightmares. It's really neither here nor there since being in the US I can't order from Walmart Canada.

It's a little disappointing that they went with Camaro Bee intead of the better-looking VW Bee for the Titan Changer, and I seriously doubt that Optimus is going to be using his AoE/TLK body in this movie, so that one kinda feels like cutting corners just for the sake of cutting corners. Shatter looks nice, though, particularly for a "budget" figure.

Prime is using the Evasion Mode body in the movie. As Evidenced by the Legion toy, and the takara Leader Class Prime.

In Transformers: Bumblebee Movie news today, we move back to the toys - the simplified ones not part of the Studio Series line - with two new clips from Hasbro directly and their YouTube channel.

Both of these figures were first seen before and during San Diego Comic Con 2018, as you find in our galleries on the site here, and include the two major gimmicks of the next movie line toys for a younger audience: Power Charge Bumblebee and the lights, effects and motion DJ Bumblebee! Check them out below, and let us know what you think of the teasers, as we gear up for some more news this coming weekend.

I wouldn't be too sure as Prime is rumoured to appear on Cybertron. If you go by toys then that would mean Barricade and Tank megs would be in the film which he isn't as tank megs only appeared in Revenge of the Fallen.

Amazing that the Bee I'm exited the most for is the big Power Charge one.
I genuinely want that thing.

Agreed. It looks really killer

I would find it extremely strange if 2 different and entirely unrelated toys featuring the same body for the same movie would be toy only items.

There's also the question of whether Takara would actually release the Evasion Mode Leader Prime under the Bumblebee movie line if he was not actually in the movie like that. Why? It would just be confusing of that is the case.

Because that's what a g1 prime would look like? Prime is said to feature on Cybertron so he won't have an earth alt mode (he doesn't scan one till the '07 film)

Studio Series 18, Bumblebee Movie, Deluxe Bumblebee English review by Peaugh.

After the initial official images of the upcoming Transformers Bumblebee Movie toyline figures - including some Studio Series items, of course - we now also have some additional angles to both the truck mode and the robot mode of the leader (?) class Optimus Prime Legendary Version from Takara Tomy, which we dissected a while back during Wonderfest 2018.

BB-02 Legendary Optimus Prime is a complete new mold based on the Age of Extinction Voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, with several new features, colors and parts, including some chrome. Currently listed at 6800 Yen ($61.24 at the time of writing), for a Japan release of October 2018 with still no official channel for a release outside of that market. Check out the turnaround images mirrored below, and join the discussion on Seibertron.com!

There's a way to import this. Amiami and hobbysearch. Sold out already at the former.

That Optimus is fine and all, but I'll only get it if I find it live in store and on sale.

-Kanrabat- wrote:That Optimus is fine and all, but I'll only get it if I find it live in store and on sale.

I will pre-order it on amazon japan when it goes up because i don't want to be stuck with my only option being e-bay for 200$ next year

Have any pre order listings popped up yet?

It all depend on your want level. If you WANT it, you better pre-order it. Better safe than sorry.
But my want level for what is basically more of the same (IMO) is rock-bottom. That's why I'm more likely to pass if it's indeed just a Takara exclusive.

It's too big to go with Studio Series but I'd like to see it reecored and done up in movie Prime's traditonal flamey colour scheme and that might tempt me to buy it.

Might be a better fit within the normal bumblebee movie toyline. He does look like a fun toy but I'm happy enough to sit this one out.

Yes, but sadly the amazon japan preorder only ships to japan

Yeah. Hm, dunno why i typed 'reecored'. I think I meant recoloured or redecoed and got some nonsensical mixture.

Ironhidensh wrote:Have any pre order listings popped up yet?

AmiAmi stealthily put their pre-order up without it going on the front page and it's already sold out. I really want this, but October is already pretty expensive thanks to MP Cordon and a few other non-transformers stuff.

Emerje

Is he supposed to be in the Bumble Bee Movie Movie section toy thread?

Posted this last August 30. Any one pre ordered from the links I shared here? well I did.

More goodness from hobbysearch. Amiami don't have yet their images up!

Compatible with MP-10 trailer

Here is that amazon preorder i was talking about but its worrying that it doesnt ship outside japan

https://www.amazon.co.jp/?tag=seibertron00-22&タカラトミー-TAKARA-TOMY-トランスフォーマー-オプティマスプライム/dp/B07GXW6VDR/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1535936971&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=optimus+prime&dpPl=1&dpID=41ew5-LluHL&ref=plSrch

Since the Bumblebee movie is on the horizon, you can guess that there would be a lot of merchandise and exclusives. For Bumblebee, we have the Greatest Hits, a subline exclusive to Target stores. There are only two known exclusives, Soundwave with Doombox and the Bumblebee Cassette Pack (Howlback, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, Bumblebee). Well there are finally stock photos of these guys!

Soundwave comes from a listing from sponsor Robot Kingdom and Japanese website Red Mercury. The Bumblebee Cassette Pack also comes from Red Mercury. The Robot Kingdom listing gives us a date of September 28th so we should not expect to see these items before then at Target, the exclusive retailer in the US.

Soundwave:

Red Mercury: http://www.redmercury.co.jp/?pid=134711275#








Bumblebee Cassette Pack:
http://www.redmercury.co.jp/?pid=134711124






While these stock photo's are a bit blurry, they show us off their box and the figure, but Soundwave's base mode cannot be seen from these photos. It also for some reason shows the base connectors separate from the actual figure, despite them being permanently attached.

So what do you think? Let us know in the Pub forums below!

Thanks for the link. It's not working for me either but that can change any minute

I'm looking forward to these sets. I missed the Titans Return Leader Soundwave, and I've been holding off on getting Rumble to see if they were going to make Frenzy. Now I just gotta hope these guys are gonna be decently priced because... I really don't need a one-step changer, but I'm willing to pay like $30 for three legends class figures. I do sorta wish they had done a separate set for the cassettes themselves, and not included a one-step changer and also maybe did a retool to turn the Laserbeak/Buzzsaw mold into a Ratbat maybe, but I'm fine with it as is

Those connectors come off very easily and go back on, not permanent by a long shot.

I can't wait for Rumble to get his buddy to hang out with.

Yess, Rumble!

I've been waiting for him to be made, but they didn't in Titans Return. But now I finally get my Rumble!
The classics was okay but had a lot of kibble. This Titans Return mold is perfect and very simple.

Didn't we get a Buzzsaw at the very end of combiner wars? It was a preview of Titans Return?

Didn't see that coming! I'll try to get this set mainly for Frenzy Rumble the blue one, but because I missed out on Combiner Wars Buzzsaw I'll happily add him and Howlback to my Decepticon shelf as well. My nephew will probably enjoy the one-step Bumblebee, so he can have that.

Is howlback a redeco of ravage or stripes?

Well, I guess one of the Buzzsaws can be repurposed into somebody else. Garboil maybe.

How can you not tell from that HIGH DEFINITION picture?
