How To Tell Which Transformers Series 2 Tiny Turbo Changer Is In A Blind Bag Using Codes

So F is my priority! Thank you!

Press F to pay respects.

I have just unboxed Leader Prime and Megatron (Premier editions, whatever that means).

Megatron is the clear winner, placing them side by side you wouldn't think they were from the same line. In robot mode Megatron looks a bit like a model kit until you get close. I really like the the worn look he has. Minimal kibble, all he really has is the cape. I wish the arm cannon was smaller. Hi jet mode looks great from the top and side but the underneath is a mess.

Prime's robot mode on the other hand looks more toy like with his bright, clean colours. I think it has fewer paint apps that the previous version of this design. I don't like the ratchets in his arms, he is either stood to attention or has his arms angled a little too far out. I like the legs and feet, they make him nice and stable. I think his truck mode is great though, if a little flimsy at the rear.

It merely refers to the normal, non-simplistic toys like Deluxes, Voyagers, Leaders, etc.

Thanks for the explanations.

It's comparable to the Generations range to AoE, without it being part of Generations.

Sorry if this has been asked before but are series 2 optimus & bumblebee the same as the ones in series 1?

They even kept the code letter between waves.

The ones in the Walmart I go in Orange City don't have coded letters to look for, and you have to guess by looking at like trademark writing. When I got that Bumblebee that broke, I noticed before I opened it that there was something about Chevrolet Camero; and sure enough, it was Bumblebee. Now the two I saw in Walmart the last time I was there, which was a week ago last Tuesday said diesel truck; and since I already have the crash combiner Optimus Prime and the Legends class Optimus Prime that I showed a picture of earlier, I didn't see the need to get one that's probably a re something of the Bumblebee that could wind up breaking on me like Bumblebee did. Now Barricade who turns into a pig car might be one I'll get. I had have the comic book store hold issues back because my bill would've been $50; and it may be higher next month because there's a Green Lantern crossover miniseries with Planet of the Apes, so I have to hold off on buying Transformers that are expensive until after the last Wednesday in July. Does Barricade have a different transformation than Bumblebee, and will it say police car, or the actual type of the car. If it's the type of the car, what will it be? I don't want to get one and find out it's Prowl because then I know I won't want to look for Barricade, and I already have a couple Prowls, and one's a little triple changer with a little gun as a third mode. That was one of the mini-cons when they were doing those.

Does it? I never saw it on the boxes. The premier edition is only written on the deluxes, voyagers and leaders as far as I can tell.

Also Ravage X, the reason the two leaders seem to be from different lines is because they are. That Optimus is from the Age of Extinction line when they were trying to simplify and streamline transformations. They reused the mold for TLK but it doesnt come from it, unlike Megatron which originates from this toyline.

I was partially right. Infernocus, a legion 5 pack, doesn't have it, but the Optimus 2 pack, Skullitron, and deluxe Megatron has it, but cybertron, the autobots unite non deluxe, and legion 2 packs are not premiere edition.

Didnt even think to compare the id codes, i tossed the list once i got the ones i wanted and figured new wave so new codes. But anyway thanks for the info

We have new stock images for One Step Cogman from Transformers: The Last Knight. These are of the final product so it gives us the best idea of what to expect in terms of deco from this toy. It was found on the Smyths Toys website. Thanks to Seibertronian Scotty P for the tip.

Sigh... 1step Cogman bot mode look nice enough until the abrupt break of the unpainted lower legs.

The gold paint looks really good.

The first time a 1step changer looks good.

Im sick of crappy one step figures existing. Back in the 80s every character got a mold in the main line. No kiddie lines needed. Kids got mini bots and jumpstarters. Today they got legends class. Death to "same character" one step figures.

On photobucket I been so busy I haven't even looked into it. Does this "upgrade" require any money or personal info? As much as I enjoy occasionally posting pictures, that would be where I draw the line...

Just use imgur, it's simple and they don't demand much, just an email so they can contact you if they need to.

I have nothing against cheapo 1steps. But it's true that to have new molds of the same characters over and over is a bit redundant.

As for Photobucket, yes, cough up the cash.
I'm using HOSTING PICS as an alternative.

Upper right, click on the British flag for English.
The interface is simple, no adds, and it dosent beg you for money every two seconds.

Use Firefox with Adblock Plus or even better yet, MS Edge with Adguard (no, really).
Also, better link:
Well I'll be... The site is really in French only!

Are all Transformers from a movie that look like they should be scout class Transformers one steps? What's really disappointing is that Hound looks so cool, but he's a one step. I thought about getting a rescue bot because some of those look neat, but I can tell there more than one step to them, and I don't see anything about instructions coming with them, and I'd rather not buy one and have to use up phone battery to look for an instructional YouTube video and watch it. Mr. Burn, could I please trade post counts with Tersoplix?

So what you're telling me is the head on the one step figure comes off too?

In a perfect world, yes. In a parallel dimension where hasbro makes slightly different descison, more risky decisions, a nitro style head. In ours, no.

So you are saying out of the blue, photobucket just decided it was going to start charging for a service thats been free for eternity? I opened that account in 2006 sheesh....I dont give a crap about ads or features. I only use it for one thing: posting pics on forums. Is there no free option for that anymore? That site will surely go bankrupt within a year.

I hope so! Happened to me too, and I roll pic heavy. They want 400 freakin' dollars!
I'm trying out imgur, good so far. Some other folks swear by flickr.

The Upgrade costs $400.

Cheaper to rent your own web server!

Damn, so that's what happened to photobucket. And I was wondering what happened to the signatures I have in my forum accounts...

Thanks to Amazon, we have confirmation of that Bumblebee 3-Pack that was rumoured a while back. While we don't have pictures, we do have the product code, the price (£64.99), and most importantly: The contents!

Celebrate the heroic Auto bot scout with the Bumblebee Evolution 3-Pack
3 Deluxe scale Bumblebee figures with movie-inspired detail
1977 Chevrolet Camaro from Movie 1 converts in 12 steps
1967 Chevrolet Camaro from Movie 4 converts in 18 steps
2016 Chevrolet Camaro from Movie 5 converts in 17 steps

In other words, the three molds included are...

'07 Movie's Deluxe Class '77 Camaro Bumblebee (Takara version pictured)

Transformers (2007) Bumblebee Gallery

AoE's Deluxe Class High Octane Bumblebee (Hasbro version pictured)

Transformers Age of Extinction: Generations High Octane Bumblebee Gallery

TLK's Deluxe Class Bumblebee (Hasbro stock photos pictured)


All three of these will likely have new decos, though we aren't sure how different they will be until we have proper images. So, are you sold on this set already, do you wanna wait to see more, or does this not appeal to you at all?
Let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

I don't have any of them so I probably will. I just hope they kept the classic Camaro black.

I wanted the new 'Bee from TLK anyway, I had the '77 'Bee as a kid (which is now broken ), and my father loves the High Octane design...so yeah, probably gonna get this!

Since my only '07 movie figure is barricade, what would you say about this mold. It looks kind of odd TBH, but I've heard some things, like how "it's criminally underrated".

From my experience, it's a very fun figure. However, I'm probably biased since I haven't played with it in years...

I think that it''s pretty similar to MV1 leader Prime in the fact that it's horrifically inaccurate but still a good toy. I myself am not a fan of the mould(partly because I was gifted two in 2007 only for the QC on the joints to be awful on both and partly because I hate the look), but it's got a fun conversion with no particularly irritating bits and includes some really cool automorph for the chest, and good automorph in the legs (if it works ). Just because my two were crap doesn't mean that the reissue ones will be. I personally liked that Barricade a lot more, and I didn't really like that mould, so take that into consideration. Coming from someone who dislikes the figure, it's probably worth it if you can stand the look.

will be this new bumblebee from tlk avaible as solo or only in this three pack?
ALL HAIL OPTIMUS PRIME

The 76 Bee mold was my first transformer, so I have a soft spot for it. Glad it's getting a re-release.

I just hope it's the fixed version from the first Movie, I have one right now where the front clip of the car (front clip = fenders forward) doesn't lock in place!!

I'll probably end up with this set if we get confirmation. Why buy one Bumblebee when you can buy 3 for 4x the price?!

I own it and I dont like it. It is as odd as it looks, especially the feet which are not elegant and clumsy. The 07 toy which I feel is really underrated is the concept camarro Bee. Now that is a great looking toy and an amazing vehicle mode that does a better job at representing the look of the car in the film than the new Masterpiece we are getting. It got a cool cliffjumper redeco too. Here is a fun article I found on the site if you want to know more about that toy I just mentioned. I guess someone was doing lists here long before I came around

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ine/22317/

Also Przemo24Pl, dont worry, the new Movie 5 Bee will be released individually at the end of the summer.

rly end of summer I was hoping he will be release this july

He might come out earlier, we dont know, nothing is confirmed. But end of summer is a more conservative guess, just ont hope for earlier and get dissapointed.

Anyways, TFXProtector over at TFW got the wave 3 voyagers and he didnt have good things to say about Nitro:

So, got him in yesterday and I have to say I'm rather unimpressed, really.

His head is an absolute mess and the neck panel is made out of that hard rubber, so the post doesn't really want to connect and stay connected. (I'm going to have to find some kind of a filler material to push the latch pieces closer together so the connection is tight.)

He's a partsformer. You absolutely have to remove his head to make the transformation work correctly and his wings love to pop off of the black hinge holding them to his body. (This is the part that really grinds my gears.)

His wings do not want to peg in, at all, unless you have everything just perfect and by the time you do have it perfect, one side's already popped back up or the head's fallen out.

In robot mode and in jet mode, he looks great, it's getting there that's a journey not worth taking. I know Hasbro was left out of the loop by Bay not keeping the whole Cogman is a Headmaster thing in the film, but it should've been left out of the toy line as well. It just doesn't work here and takes a could be great figure and makes him a real pain in the butt and not so likable in the end.

Scorn's the better of the two out of this wave.
