It's news for it to be in the UK hit us up when you find out the store! Thanks for letting us know as well

is cool.

He says it was found in The Entertainer.

PrimeVsPrime has now done a video review of Power Charge Bumblebee that he bought at The Entertainer.

That Barricade looks pretty good, almost like a decent Deluxe placeholder.

Wow, that's probably one of the most creative gimmicks I've seen in a while.

We've had our first reported sighting in the UK of one of the main products in the Transformers: Bumblebee movie toyline: Power Charge Bumblebee! This sighting was made by fellow Seibertron user, PrimeVsPrime. He reports that he found the toy in The Entertainer toy shop for £46.99.

Not only that but he's also provided a video review of the toy:



Thanks to Seibertron user, Carnivius_Prime, for pointing us in the direction of this sighting and review.

Are you looking forward to this toy? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

Nitro Barricade looks really slick!

I might just end up getting a bit more of the simpler guys than I planned, they are looking pretty dang awesome

That big Bee will be MINE!

I find it kinda ironic that the power charge bumblebee, that is intended to be gimmick based, kids oriented toy, actually handle his backpack and kibble neater than the studio series version, that is intended for older collector.

HENSHIN! KAMEN RIDER BUMBLEBEE!

Yep you're right. I just checked and my price dropped by a whole 4 yen lol

Thanks to regular source of news on Weibo, user tf-factory (via 爆料人小明 this time), we have some new packaging art images for figures upcoming in the Transformers Bumblebee Movie line - including the Studio Series, more adult oriented line too, which means Dropkick, the KSI Sentry, and Shadow Raider are also featured below - with a significant spotlight on the titular character of course: Bumblebee!

Check out the kid friendly scout, drawn like one of your French bots (paging Hot Rod?), mirrored below, and let us know what you think of the new design and style in the Energon Pub Discussion boards.

Is that stereo a bit small? Cos it looks like the one I had in the 80s but I remember that the speakers looked not that much different in size than headlights. I dunno.

Pose is somewhat similar to how my Bee figure was laying here a few weeks ago when my bots were just chilling out waiting for Ironhide to arrive.

From Hasbro directly, via the official Hasbro Toy Shop, we have the first news about the new Transformers Bumblebee Movie toyline - including Energon Igniters lines, Power Charge, DJ Bumblebee, and the various role play accessories and masks - going up for pre-sale on the online store!

The landing page also notes that the new US release date for the movie is the 21st of December (rather than the 28th), though we're not sure this applies internationally too. The items can all be found by clicking on the mirrored image below, or the link above - let us know if you're picking any up, if anything catches your fancy, and if you're looking forward to the movie and the new line coming out, all in the Energon Pub Discussion Boards!

The only one I want is the one that is not there...Studio Series VW Bee of course. But guess who is available for order and will be in stock very soon...Studio Voyager Ironhide


Ironhide
https://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-e0978as00


I picked one up this morning at Target in Peoria, IL

The "Trifecta" coupon also works for 15% off. They have Studio Series Ironhide on preorder as well!

Earlier this year we posted a story about listings found on the Toysrus database. There were two exclusives that we were not exactly sure of. One was Thundercracker, which we later found to be part of the Studio Series line. Well, another item on that Toysrus list was Rebekah's Garage, which thanks to today's official reveal is also part of the Studio Series line. It turns out this item is Studio Series 15 Bumblebee with Charlie, the figure someone previously found at Target (only once). There was never an official reveal of the figure and now we have one from The Rockfather Magazine.

We see all the official stock photos including the different decos possible thanks to the sticker sheet that comes with it, along with the difference between the simple car mode and the suped up mode. As we know from the listing, and the article confirms it, this was meant to be a Toysrus exclusive. However, now that Toysrus in the US is gone, it is said to be an Entertainment Earth exclusive and it coincides with the listing appearing on that website for preorder for $29.99 USD, with a release date of this month. This means that the Target sighting was probably a mistake, especially since it was not in their system (similarly to how Titans Return Brainstorm was once found at Walmart). This would also mean that countries that still have a Toysrus, like Canada, can expect to get this figure there.

To preorder the figure, you can click here.

A while back, we finally had some photos of the Bumblebee and Charlie set, we never actually had stock photography or actually listings. Well now we do!

The comicbook released a article detailing the release of the figure. It talks about the figure as well as mentions the listing up on Entertainment Earth!

The figure itself is the original 01 figure but with less paint, but has a Charlie minifigure, as well as stickers and customizable parts.

The listing has some more stock photos, as well as a preorder date of September 13th for $29.99.

Interestingly, the box seems to have a Toys R Us exclusive sticker on it.

So will you be planning on buying this when it comes out?
Take a look at the photos below and tell us on the Energon Pub Forums!

I ordered everything but DJ Bee. It looks fun. Even the Legions can use the power block things!

Yeah, I want to get some of the "bigger" figures just to get one of those allspark igniters so that the legions can tow them. And is it just me or does the smaller igniter VW Bee look better than the deluxe one?





Oh wait, I know what it is, I like how he uses the real chest and thus has a more round shape.

ScottyP wrote:The "Trifecta" coupon also works for 15% off. They have Studio Series Ironhide on preorder as well!

Indeed it does! Just used it to get the wave 2 Prime Masters and the Bee Movie tiny Optimus Prime figure. Wasn't sure if it would work on a pre-order or mixed releases, but it did! After discount and adding in tax and shipping it only came to about $3.50 more than if I were to buy them together in stores.

Emerje

While I am not going to pre-order and I'm gonna wait until at least October to start considering these guys, I do plan to get the 2 Barricades and the legion sized Hot Rod. both look like lots of fun!

I will also get that Charlie Bee and keep it in super car mode, that is sweet, and I would like that little Charlie figure. Gonna need to reorganize my movie shelves here anyways due to some new things and some new ideas, so this will fit right in.

Thanks to user gabumon on TFW2005.com, the Bumblebee Speed Series and Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3 at a Kroger in Utah.

It was found on a Bumblebee Movie stand, which also sells Rescue Bots blindbags and the Power of the Primes Prime Masters.

The Speed Series figures were $7.99 and the Tiny Turbo Changers were $2.99 each.

In addition to that, multiple Bumblebee toys were found in a Walmart in Canada, thanks to user joshuaDA on cybertron.ca. As we can see from the pictures, the Titan Changers, Power Series, Power Plus Series, and DJ Bumblebee.

This may get people excited for those who would like to buy the Bumblebee toyline or the Tiny Turbo Changers, as they are starting to finally his stores around the globe.

ARGH! His lil wings not folded down and his backpack is hanging down, unfolded behind his legs... TRANSFORM YOUR TOYS PROPERLY FOR STOCK PHOTOS! grrr Also weirdly in the main picture he's clearly holding his gun-arm with his regular arm like the gun-arm is a gun. Odd


By the way I saw Tiny Turbo Changers Wave 3 here in UK a few days ago (I did take a photo and upload it in Studio among my pics of the cheap prices for Studio figures currently in The Entertainer). Does anyone have the codes for which figure is in which bag yet?

I like how both hot rod figures are just retools of that lines decepticons

Ok it's bugging me how they're even doing this weirdness of him holding his gun-arm with his regular arm.


I cannot see how it even happens...

It looks like they've sort of have it resting on the fingers of the hand instead of putting the whole thing over

ZeroWolf wrote:It looks like they've sort of have it resting on the fingers of the hand instead of putting the whole thing over

I've tried all sorts of ways to fit it on or balance and i can only assume they've stuck it on with blu-tack or glue or something. I'm not sure why I want to recreate their weird 'mistake' but I was just curious how they did it.

Who knows what these photographers do to the toys with the way they are mistransformed sometimes. Wouldn't surprise me if they used blu-tac or an equivalent

That Rebekah's Garage set got my attention. I'll definitely get this when I'll see it in stores.

By the way, fellow Canadians, the big Light-n-Sounds Bee is available for preorder from TrU. 70$CAN plus taxes is expensive, but it's the regular price of a leader.

As for me, I'll bid my time.

Me, too. Target tends to do sales for movie lines in movie years so I'll wait.

Still continuining the streak of Transformers Bumblebee Movie news, and its associated toylines, we have another instalment in the Leaked from Cybertron series from the official social media of Hasbro Transformers' brand team - featuring this time the Studio Series Bumblebee deluxe scale figure, from a variety of angles of the production prototype in its first stage.

Take a look at the mirrored image below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

Here's a sneak peek at a stage 1 production prototype of our favorite Autobot Scout: Bumblebee! This is Studio Series Deluxe Class Bumblebee – Transformers: 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.

Seibertron member PrimeVsPrime reviews Energon Igniters Optimus Prime and Barricade

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.

I discovered this as well today thanks for putting here though as this will be posted to the front page very shortly.

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.

The 9-inch scale Leader Class Soundwave figure is a Triple Changer that converts between robot, boombox, and city modes in 19-27 steps.

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.

I skipped on TR Soundwave and Co. But if I see both Soundwave and the cassettes sets, I'll make an impulse purchase.

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

my only interest is the cassettes mainly frenzy

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

Easy pass on all those. If I wanted those Titans Return toys I would have got them shortly after the first time round when I saw them cheap in places like B&M and TK Maxx.

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!

Will this finally settle the debate about Blitzwing being in the film? I'm guessing it will be a toy of his plane form

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.

ZeroWolf wrote:Will this finally settle the debate about Blitzwing being in the film? I'm guessing it will be a toy of his plane form

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?

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).

PrimeVsPrime again with another review, this time is Energon Igniters Bumblebee (I posted the videos here of Optimus Prime and Barricade earlier up on the thread).
