Coming from both Michigan and Manhattan, and both found at Costco (including on the online store here) for $49.99, the toy is an RC 1:12 VW bug with monster truck wheels for all terrains. We knew of the Camaro Bumblebee and the Optimus Prime truck from previous stories, but this one is relatively out of nowhere. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think!

I so want it-and to actually use it.
There is a 5% "non-member" fee if you don't have a Costco membership, but regular shipping is only $1.99.
I saw the other day at Target they had the Jada R/C Bumblebee Camaro in stock, and on the shelf right above Jada also makes a totally not Bumblebee plain yellow R/C Camaro.

To me this looks like they just had the mold laying around and didn't know what to do with it so just said "fuck it" and used it for this

Fellow Seibertronian Fc203 found the Studio Series Jada Toys Hollywood Rides Die-Cast Transformers 2007 Camaro Concept Bumblebee at a Walmart in Houston, Texas. This Dies Cast car is 1:24 scale, representing Bumblebee as he appeared in the first Transformers live action film. It comes with a collectable coin and Bumblebee's robot mode is sculpted at the bottom of the vehicle. The price for this toy is $19.97. The only other character we know from the first film to get a similar release so far is Optimus Prime.

Is this just a repackage of the previous release with a coin included? Because I've had that 2006 Camaro concept sitting on my desk for at least a year now, I'd guess.

Spotted in two Walmart locations, earlier this week and yesterday. Looks like it might be the same chassis as the Monster Bug one. $54.99 online.

Thanks to Kyleor on the Seibertron Energon forums for posting our first sighting of the Hollywood Rides Bumblebee RC Camaro at not one, but two Walmarts recently. He also provided a link to where it's available on Walmart.com for $54.99.



The car was last seen back at Toy Fair 2019 tucked in a shelf of Bumblebee movie merchandise where it went largely unnoticed. Bellow you'll find official photos as seen on Walmart.com.







And if you have any sightings be sure to let us know and post them in the Energon Pub forums.

I remember seeing this at a couple of Walmarts back during Christmas 2018. There was a huge pallet of them. About a week ago I saw 3 of them on the shelf in the bike section.

Just in from site sponsor Entertainment Earth are new images of Jada Toys' mighty Metalfigs Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and now an entire diorama set inspired by the 1986 movie!
The Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Metalfigs are each 4 inches tall, have light up eyes, feature 3 points of articulation, and even have accessories. Both are listed at $12.99 each.
















The G1 Metalfigs diorama set includes 4 separate highly detailed and painted figures: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream. Each are 2 and 3/4 inches tall and are made from die-cast metal (the most precious metal known to toy collectors). The set is currently listed at $15.99.





Are these the mighty minis you've been waiting for? Need some fodder for that enormous Unicron coming soon? Share your thoughts in the forum and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

Megatron appears to have been caught mid-transformation. Yikes, that arm!

Unlike what you may believe, Coscto is still in the tradition of offering exclusive Transformers product in the holiday season. They just are not of the transforming variety. Previously they had Jada's RC Bumblebee and now they have a Jada three pack from Age of Extinction (how timely?). The three pack features die cast licenced car modes for Bumblebee, Corsshairs and Optimus Prime. From the image is seems Costco is going all in on these Jada toys. This three pack is 14.99 which is rather affordable for quality die cast vehicles of that size (1:32 scale).

By the way, I know it says 1:32, but that Optimus is in a much smaller scale than that.

Jada Toys' 2022 catalogue is out and it has plenty for Transformers fans. It has G1 inspired non transforming die cast figures and micro sized G1 alt modes, but the big star here is they will be giving us a self transforming remote control Optimus Prime. This is fun for those who wanted the Robosen one but just didn't have the dough. Of course, you get what you pay for, but it is cool to see Hasbro being looser with their definition of what they are letting license holders do, especially when they had not allowed anyone but themselves to make transforming (converting) toys.
Below you will see images for:
Transformers Nanofigs Multi-Pack including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker, Prowl, Jazz, Arcee, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp.
Transformers Nano Cars 3-pack including Jetfire, Hot Rod and Sideswipe
G1 Optimus and Bumblebee die cast figures
Self Transforming RC Optimus Prime

The Nano Cars 3-pack's figures' proportions are all over the place. Jetfire's cute. Hotrod's weirdly NOT sportly and sideswipe looks the best with a "Real Car" proportion.
The RC OP is most interesting... the poor man's Robosen
