'Leaked from Cybertron' Images of Transformers Studio Series Bumblebee

I think all I'll be getting from this line are any studio series figures that aren't repaints, MP Bee, and that beautiful Takara Prime.

From the pictures I've shown them, my kids have zero interest in these figures.

If it hasn't been reported yet, the Target exclusive Soundwave and Cassette pack will be sold at Argos in the UK. I tried getting a Cassette pack, but unfortunately no Argos stores in my part of the country had any stock.

Remember back at SDCC when the Target Exclusives were revealed? It was unknown at that point who would carry them in other territories, till now as they've made found on the website of UK retailer Argos! This news has also been shared by fellow Seibertron user, Munkky.

Accompanying these listings is hi-rez images of the toys and the price for UK customers.

The two sets consist of:

- Soundwave with Titan Master Boombox.
Cost: £54.99







This is a slight retool of Titans Return Soundwave, with his Alt mode altered to look more like an eighties Boombox. This is what Argos has to say about him.

Argos wrote:This Soundwave and Titan Master Doombox figure set is part of the Transformers Bumblebee Greatest Hits series. The 9-inch scale Leader Class Soundwave figure is a Triple Changer that converts between robot, boombox, and city modes in 19-27 steps. (Boombox mode does not play music. ) The Titan Master Doombox figure becomes the head of the Soundwave figure. The Bumblebee Greatest Hits figure set features a special edition Soundwave figure design, exclusive packaging, and comes with an exclusive Titan Master Doombox figure.

Argos have also put up a small video to advertise the toy which can be found here.

-Bumblebee and Buzzsaw, Howlback and Decepticon Frenzy.
Cost: £31.99









This set features a redeco of the Bumblebee Turbo Changer and redecos of Buzzsaw, from Combiner Wars and Ravage, Decepticon Rumble from Titans Return. Buzzsaw has been changed further from his Combiner Wars appearance by different coloured plastic and completely different alt mode stickers, giving him the appearance of being an actual cassette.

This is what Argos says about Bee and the Cassettes:

That's not all, also listed is a new Bumblebee movie related toy, Music FX Bumblebee!

-Music FX Bumblebee

This is what Argos had to say about this version of Bee

Argos wrote:Grab an air guitar, strike a power pose, and celebrate a totally tubular time of bodacious bots and music to the max. This Bumblebee Greatest Hits Music FX Bumblebee figure plays 15+ music, robot, and car sounds inspired by the Transformers Bumblebee movie. It converts in 2 steps and plays car sounds in Chevy Camaro mode, robot sounds in robot mode, and music sounds in both. Bumblebee is quick on his wheels, fast with a joke, and never misses an opportunity to blast his favourite music.

Any UK fans planning on picking these up? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

Actually the Bumbleebee movie has ALWAYS been December 21st, the front page claims it was 28th before, but im really not sure why.

Thankfully Argos Ireland will be get the cassette set costing €41.99 while Soundwave is €69.99

From the Transformers Bumblebee Movie toyline, and the simpler toys we are aware of in the Energon Igniters line, we finally have confirmation of one of the coded products we had seen previously, confirming Blitzwing's name yet again as part of the Cybertronian cast in the upcoming movie.

The Walmart listing found here replaces the Hornet 2 name with Blitzwing, and means that the full release schedule is as follows:

Blue Light 1: Dropkick (helicopter mode)
Blue Light 2: Dropkick (car mode)
Red Light 1: Shatter (jet mode)
Red Light 2: Shatter (car mode)
Hornet 2: Blitzwing

Check it out, and let us know if you'll be picking one up once we have actual images of the toy!

On the subject of the igniters series, I spotted the first wave of the Nitro series at Sainsbury's, Ripley in the U.K, retailing for 21 Pounds.

Are people still debating that? I thought they made it pretty clear that at SDCC that it was Blitzwing we saw in the trailer, not Starscream. And I'm a little unclear, but I was under the impression that Blitzwing isn't a triplechanger in this movie since the other two are. Maybe that wasn't confirmed?

Emerje

not confirmed. And look at those listings Va'al posted. There is a a 1 or 2 posted near the names (possibly) referencing which alt mode. And Blitzwing has one as well, so he might also be a triple changer (or at least have 2 versions of a toy in his name).

It seems the entire world is getting the Bumblebee movie toys at the same time. Now it is Australia and the UK's turn. Nearly every class was found in Australia while the UK only has the bigger toys so far, but other classes are sure to follow. The australian sightings were provided by Griffin from Ozformers (who breaks down all specific sightings and credits here), while the UK sighints were given to us by ou own TFmonkeybiz. If you find toys in your country, be sure to inform the fans near you in our Sightings forum.

Griffin wrote:Found first at Target stores are the first wave of Bumblebee Movie toys, in line with the global release this week in several other countries.

This includes the four sizes of Energon Igniters toys (Speed, Power, Power Plus, Nitro), the Titan Changers, and Power Charge Bumblebee.

This is in addition to the Studio Series Deluxe VW Bumblebee toy that was also being found this week at Target stores, probably held back until the Movie Toyline was released this week.

Anyone know what those R.I.D. 2 packs are on the bottom?
