After all the display images from Takara Tomy's Transformers booth at Wonderfest 2018 in Japan, rolled out in the past couple of hours on our front page, too, we now also have official images of the majority of the new figures - if you're in for the Bumblebee Movie above all others, that is, with a touch of Studio Series and Movie Masterpiece!

Mirrored from the Dengeki Hobby site, below you can find images of the Power Charge Bumblebee, the newly revealed Legendary Optimus Prime from the movie's line, from a variety of angles, and sporting MP-10's trailer, plus Studio Series Volkswagen Bumblebee we saw revealed at San Diego Comic Con 2018, along with its line-mates KSI Sentry and the tattooed Starscream. Check it all out below, including the official Volkswagen license for the beetle car modes, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub!

Transformers News: Official Images of Takara Tomy Transformers Bumblebee Movie and Studio Series Figures

It is a perfect deformation figure of Bumblebee popular character of Autobot appearing in the new movie "Bumblebee". It is Bumblebee which I mimicked as a yellow Camaro in the movie so far, but in this movie I mimic it as a yellow Volkswagen and it is active. It is possible to wear a battle mask of the head, withdraw weapons from the left arm, different sounds are activated in the vehicle mode and robot mode, and the gimmick of the front light is also carried.

DATA

Release date: Scheduled to be released in the fall of 2018
Price: TBD
Publisher: Takara Tomy

This is also a perfect deformation figure of Optimus Prime of the new movie "Bumblebee". Vehicle mode is as you can see! If it is a transformer fan influenced by the first animation, it will take in the hand without hesitation, a nostalgic "box type" tractor head. Transform from robot mode to vehicle mode! The whole body is fully movable in robot mode. You can also reproduce the state of the battle mask on and off.
* Containers that are towing in the vehicle mode are those of the MP-10 Convoy. Actual product is not included.

DATA

Release date: Scheduled to be released in the fall of 2018
Price: 6,800 yen (excluding tax)
Content of commodity: main body × 1, ion blaster × 1
Product size: When robot deforms W120 × H220 × D65 mm
Publisher: Takara Tomy

The latest work of the "Studio Series" which transforms the transformers who appeared in the movies into a unified scale. It is a perfect deformation figure of Bumblebee appearing in a new movie "Bumblebee". Not only the deformation of the robot mode from the vehicle mode, but also the head at the time of attaching the battle mask can be reproduced.

DATA

Release date: Scheduled to be released in the fall of 2018
Price: 2,800 yen (excluding tax)
Product Details: Body × 1, Stinger Sword × 1, Stinger Blaster × 1, Battle Mask × 1
Product size: When robot deforms W90 × H120 × D50 mm
Publisher: Takara Tomy

This product is also a newcomer of the "Studio Series"! Vehicle mode is Italian super car, Pagani. It is a perfect deformation figure of mass production type transformer, KS Eye Warrior, which appeared in the fourth movie "Transformer / Lost Age".

DATA

Release date: Scheduled to be released in the fall of 2018
Price: TBD
Publisher: Takara Tomy

The star scream of Decepticon, who fought with Autobots as Megatron's right arm, participated in a splendid "studio series" of both vehicle mode and robot, both proportions! Not only alien tattoos applied to the whole body, marks of foreheads in robot mode are also reproduced.

DATA

Release date: Scheduled to be released in the fall of 2018
Price: TBD
Publisher: Takara Tomy

It is a perfect deformation figure of Ironhide in charge of weapons of Autobot who appeared from the first movie "Transformers". It completely deforms to the robot mode from the vehicle mode (pickup truck made by US GMC company). The appearance and expression of robot mode is the image itself in the play. The brave appearance of that iron idea is revived in the "Masterpiece Movie Series".

Release date: Scheduled to be released in the fall of 2018

That big Bug Bee is a MUST WANT for me. Skipping on MP Ironhide and I'd take the deluxe Bug Bee only when on sale. As for the Optimus, it could be a "must buy" but only if I can find it live in store.

It's amazing how different the marketing is between the two on the large Bee. Hasbro is all, "check out all the things this figure can do. The lights, the sounds, the play value! It's also not bad looking, but listen to those movie sounds!" while Takara Tomy is like, "Check out how detailed this figure is! It's big and has pop out weapons and a battle mask! Oh, and it has light sand sounds or something too, but just look at how cool it is!"

My interests in that Big Bee was FIRST how it look. The think look fantastic. Even better than the deluxe. And I don't give a crap about the innacuracy of the center part of the chest. That's what the MP will be for.

The second reason why I want this be the most are indeed all the gimmicks. It will go very well with my Battle Ops bumblebee and my Weaponiser Prime talking black Bee.

Good indication of intended target audiences, I suppose!

Hm I kinda wish the Studio Bee's lower legs were as compact and tidy as those on the large gimmick figure but overall it looks great for the size. I also kinda wish the CGI Bee model had the door-wings the toys have cos I find him a bit odd looking the trailer without them. Movie Bee had the wings for so long that it's strange when they're gone.

Any likelihood we will see that Leader Optimus in the rusty colors?

The funny thing here is that the big Bee, to me at least, appears to be better than the SS one, despite being a larger, supposedly gimmick toy. It looks great!

I'm curious how much engineering if much at all the two different size Bumblebees share.

While we have seen the majority of these products between Wonderfest and San Diego Comic Con 2018, and we had received some official images too, we now also have some additional stock images for the line-up of Energon Igniters and the Power Charge figures from the upcoming Transformers Bumblebee Movie toyline!

Specifically, we have images from UK and Ireland based Smyths Toys, featuring the Energon Igniters Power series - Hot Rod and Dropkick (the latter of whom will feature in the movie) - Power Plus Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, and Nitro Series Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, plus the Power Charger big Bumblebee figure. Check them out below.

Unlikely. It is not Evasion Mode Prime from Age of Extinction. Its Prime as he appears in the Bumblebee movie. Unless he appears in rusty colors there, there's no reason for them to do that, unless they wanted to evoke that particular Prime from that particular movie scene for some reason in a completely unrelated line.

Still Prime looks pretty cool. Almost 9 inches tall. VW Bumblebee is somehow appealing to me. No sure I'll pick him up though.

Maybe I'll settle for the deluxe Bee.

I'm pretty sure they will repaint that (leader?) Optimus in AoE white/rusty as a something-or-other overpriced exclusive.

Possibly, but it's not likely to be a general release figure, and probably not for a while.

Time for "'Member Berries."

Remember when Triple Changers actually had toys that transformed into three different things? A bot and two alt modes.

Back in my day Triple Changers toys weren't a bot that had one alt mode and then a second mold of that character to get it again in bot mode just to get the second alt mode. Sort of like how Dropkick apparently is in this movie being a bot with a car alt mode and also a helicopter alt mode, but you have to buy separate figures to get the two different alt modes. And sort of how Drift was a car and an attack helicopter in the movies, but you have to buy two separate figures to get both alt modes. Lame!

It's because Bayformers have so overcomplicated designs that it would be completely impossible to make at the deluxe scale and price point. Hell, even a 200$ MP style 3P figure would struggle doing that. And if they did, it would require one hour to transform and a diploma in engineering just to transform it.

However, if the Movie designers had the TOY in mind, they could have made the movie design in a way that making a toy out of it would be easily feasable. If they would have designed the bots right at this stage, I'm pretty sure a deluxe triple changing robot would have been possible. I would even accept the second vehicle mode as being "alien" like Drift was in AoE. Hell, they did it in Universe with Astrotrain and Octane. Have they'd played their cards right, we could have had this. Oh well.

When I said "a something-or-other overpriced exclusive" of course I meant exactly that. Amazon's at the very best, but most likely a Takara "mail away" exclusive or a SDCC-like thing.
