Tank Mode Blitzwing, Jet Mode Shatter, and More Transformers Bumblebee Movie Toys #NYCC #JoinTheBuzz

I called it. That Optimus Prime is a repaint of the power plus figure without the engine. Blitzwing is the previously released Megatron with a new head. I doubt that's how it'll look in the movie.

Does anyone else see the seige meagtron instruction off in the corner?

Wow, the box art for what I'm guessing is Siege Megs looks awesome.

That optimus prime is correctly sold as a power series bumblebee classic camaro with mask and cannon is power series but with normal head and hands he is a power plus series

Here is hoping that Blitzwing toy means he will have a Tank mode in the film and did this one because they didnt have enough reference material at the time.

I don't usually go in for the gimmicky toys, but that Blitzwing actually looks pretty good (to me anyway).

While the majority of the Transformers sphere is abuzz (badumtiss) about the War for Cybertron reveals from New York Comic Con, it's worth noting there were Bumblebee toys on display, as well, including Movie Masterpiece VW Bumblebee, and a handful of smaller figures almost resembling one step changers. Included in this line up is Optimus Prime, Shatter in both her car and jet modes, and Blitzwing in his tank mode, for the first time! Check them all out below, with our images provided by our two reporters in the field! Stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest coming out of New York!

I think I'll have to get both of those Shatter toys if she doesn't make it to the SS line. And that Blitzwing didn't turn out too bad either

My eyes hurt. BB VW is awesome though.

Hot on the trails of the reveals at New York Comic-Con 2018, by our very crew, we now have stock photos for the Bumblebee toys! These stock photos come from Hasbro's Facebook and Instagram. We get to see a better look at our retools Power Plus Shatter (revealed before, Dropkick retool), Power Optimus Prime (retool of Power Plus version}, Power Blitzwing (Megatron head retool), and new mold jet mode Shatter.

We also have a clear stock photo of Entertainment Earth exclusive Autobot Drfit with the Baby Dinobots, a redeco of The Last Knight Drift with new swords and the Baby Dinobots!

Baby Dinobots are such a stupid concept.

Thank you Gallagher!

I have to admit, some of these look kinda cool....

So triple changers now require two completely separate toys. Brilliant!

While there wasn't much in reveals for the Transformers Bumblebee toyline, we did get some rather interesting products. We get our first toy of Blitzwing which happens to be a tank and not a jet. It is a redeco of Megatron with a new head. We also get two toys of Shatter, one of her car mode and another of her jet mode. This is the first jet in the toyline. We also get Optimus who is surprisingly not a simple reaint of the Power Plus Optimus but actually a retool. The front of the cab and the robot mode head are an example of new parts. All these toys are part of the Power class which means they do not come with the energon igniter which is needed to make the gimmicks work and they were all on display at NYCC 2018. We have a gallery for these toys which also includes mroe shots of MPM Volkswagen Bumblebee, Entertainment Earth exclusive Drift (with mini dinobots), and the Bumblebee mask.

I think it has to do with licensed vehicles being used. Rough example, if you were Ford would you want your car to change into a Chevy?

Interesting answer. That's probably why we haven't got a triplechanging AOE Drift yet. I agree with you that licensing could be an issue here, but would Dodge be willing to let their car turn into a jet too? Hmmm

Boy, that MP Bumblebee is NOT a Masterpiece figure. So much kibble. And the movie's not even out yet! You see those door wings? The director convinced the corporate overlords to ditch the door wings pretty late into production, so you know this toy was already engineered by the time Bumblebee's design was changed. This seems more cash-grab than Masterpiece to me. I look forward to the inevitable "real" Masterpiece figure that they'll make in 2 or 3 years.

To be fair it does take about 1-2 years to develop the toy, and isn't all transformers a cash grab? I mean when you really get into it?
