as much as it was featured in the film itself and the advertising, i'm shocked the Driller never got a toy itself.

Meanwhile, poor Shocky himself seemed like an afterthought in the movie.

A playset with metal tentacles.
There have already been TF tentacle playets before

Heck, there was the Ark playset from the same movie. I don't get why they didn't make a Driller for Legends Shockwave to ride around in.

I really wanted a Driller. That thing was cool and had potential for a great playset styled toy

Yeah but it is a giant worm and I don't think it would have appealed at all especially since those play sets did not sell at all. It was at the time when we got the Ark and Prime did the energon drill and Wheeljacks ship and all of those things ended up on clearance racks.
If we had gotten a driller it Would have probably been an early concept of the thing when it looked like Shockwave was using a chariot and it probably would have ended up looking like a slug that also shelfwarmed until it went on clearance.

I have speculated before the best way to do the Driller as a toy is as a Hybrid toy - part action figure accessory and part Role play Gun (not unlike the 2016 Rescuebots toys with trailers).
You'd have a large nerf rifle like toy with a geared spinning mechanism with spinning rubberised tentacles on it and perhaps some Nerf projectiles - it would have a handle to hold for kids to use.
It would also fold the handle up and sit on the ground and when pushed along the tentacles would undulate and spin.
On the back it would open and have a spot to slot Voyager Shockwave onto it so he's basically pulling a huge trailer with a spray of tentacles on the back.
Also on the top it would have an opening hatch that Legion Shockwave could sit in.
That is how i'd do it - if you look the driller designs up (the whole thing) you can see what I mean.
Also possibly it could be posed in a eating a building pose up chair legs and such.

Didn't the Cyberverse Shockwave figure came with the Driller?

No, he had this dumb tank-thing that mounted to the back of his alt mode and turned into a gun emplacement.

Courtesy of TFND over on Facebook, we have the first promotional video for the Takara Tomy Transformers Movie The Best line of toys, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the first live-action Transformers film - from Paramount and Michael Bay. The original video is Japan-locked on YouTube, but we do have the FB version of the clip, showing off Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Ironhide and the Decepticons Megatron, Starscream, Shockwave and Soundwave, right here below. Check it out!

I do love stop-motion Transformer figure videos. If only I had the patience to do some myself.

Nice commercial! I like the effort they made to recreate the 2007 deserts.

Anybody else notice how, despite the logo saying "Movie the Best" in both English and Katakana, the announcer consistently referred to the name instead as "Movie the Best Series"?
Also, unless it's for Armada Tidal Wave, I am still not used to hearing the Japanese verbally use the name "Shockwave" instead of "Laserwave".
And did anyone else catch the announcer calling Grimlock a "Legendary Dinobot" ("Densetsu no Dainobotto")?

Yeah. I just didn't think Takara would integrate that into the toy's function.william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And did anyone else catch the announcer calling Grimlock a "Legendary Dinobot" ("Densetsu no Dainobotto")?

Yeah, I had no idea Leader Prime had a sound box. Shame he's yelling in Japanese. I'll just stick him with Legends Fort Max so they can shout random lines at each other.

I will have him yell with his TAV self
On another note, did anyone notice how these finalized toys are not as well painted as promised?
