So let me get this straight... The Transformer that they nominated for Toy of the Year... Doesn't transform? That's like nominating a dead person for the Sexiest Man Alive. Or nominating The Room for Best Picture.

Some very expensive giant (maybe) shelfwarmer is nominated "toy of the year" by some organisation no one care about.

K.

Someone think this may be a way to get rid of this bad idea's stocks.
Seriously, for around the same price you get the Power Charge Bumblebee, one of the BEST noisy Bee toy to ever came out in years.

Psst! Just because adults who play with toys don’t like it doesn’t mean kids who play with toys don’t like it either.

I'm looking at it from BOTH perspectives. My 9yo self would have found that DJ Bee fun for at least 10 minutes. Then it would have been forever ignored. 60$ down the drain.

The modern kid will unpack that expensive but oh so cheap looking toy instead of the latest video game. Cue the entitled crying.

Seriously, the "it's for kids" is a fallacy. The big Power Charge Bee is ALSO mainly aimed at small kids. Yet there's way more bang for the same price point as the DJ Bee. I compared toys in the same line here. A line where every toys are aimed at the same public. I compared apples with apples.

I would aknowledge your point if I had taken a Studio Series figure as an exaple however.

As the Bumblebee movie hype begins to reach a climax, it's time to take a look at one more toy from it's accompanying figure range! Today's subject is Engergon Igniters Power Shatter, reviewed by our very own Seibertronian Chuck Dawg! Take a look at the video below and tell us if it changed your thoughts on Shatter or the Energon Igniters as a whole in the Energon Pub!

chuckdawg1999 wrote:While many of you have made up your minds on the Energon Igniters series, Shatter from the Power subline of the subline is a fun figure. It reminds me of a toy jet I had that worked on the same spring/gear motor system. Even if you don't like it I'm sure your pets would love chasing it around.

To those that bought the Voyager Sized Bumblebee that comes with the engine (the one with the fake chest), does the front of the car tab in properly on your version? One of the front panels offers some heavy resistance as if it keeps wanting to spring outward and thus the alt mode is very gappy in the front.

It's not everyday that Hasbro themselves share reveals through Twitter. Through a tweet regarding the Bumblebee film showing in LA, they posted an image of toys, three of which are new reveals.

Here is the Tweet:
We’re in #LA kicking off the world premiere of the @BumblebeeMovie with a showcase of our #Transformers #BumblebeeMovie products! Who’s ready to #JoinTheBuzz?

And here are the toys:

Speed Series Cliffjumper

Nitro Series Blitzwing

Nitro Series Dropkick

While these are of course aimed at kids and not collectors, the toys have been selling well with good word of mouth regarding value, durability and the gimmick. So these could be fun toys to add to any kid's Christmas stocking.

Here are the images posted with the tweet showing the new toys, enjoy!

He actually is, he has the same body as Cybertron Bumblebee but with a movie-vied G1 Cliffjumper head.

I have a picture of him someone shared online on insta but I'm not gonna post it because you know...I don't wanna get banned.

It was like this except with a G1 Cliffjumper shaped head.

Edit this is Bumblebee's Cybertron form so it's like this for Cliff but red and a different head.

It's likely that Hot Rod and Barricade were at one point considered for the movie early on but were eventually dropped when the idea that this film "might" be a reboot came around.

I really want a Studio Series Blitzwing, but that ignitor toy doesn't look bad at all!!

Also, this now means all 3 main Bee movie cons have this sized toy for both a land and air mode! pretty sweet really. I might get the jet Shatter and car Dropkick to go with their Studio Series selves so I have all 3 modes

(Then again all the other sites still have that pic up so maybe Hasbro/Paramount are letting off in that instance?)

Cliff looked great and he was cool in the movie. (That's all I'll say)

I'm guessing he suffered the same fate as his TFP counterpart judging from the blade through his chest? :-?

Combat Zero wrote:I'm guessing he suffered the same fate as his TFP counterpart judging from the blade through his chest?

Well...spoilers
He get's interrogated by Shatter and Dropkick after they track the poor guy and his pod down somewhere around Saturn, one of it's moons I think Cliff doesn't tell them anything though just repeating his name and rank (It's a military thing in real life) as well as saying that he is valuable alive and that they will be rewarded with his safe return and he's clearly horrified when Dropkick decides to slice him in half...vertically so basically he suffered an Ambulon/Aoe Lockdown, afterwards the two Decepticons track Bee to Earth, so Cliffjumper was actually fairly close to where Bee was and it's possible that if he landed on Earth that the two could of met up but alas this was not to be, I personally would of had Bee and Cliff together at the start of the film and the two get split up due to Blitzwing and Sector 7, with Cliff trying to find Bumblebee afterwards and then have Shatter and Dropkick find and interrogate him for answers and then kill him, would of had the same effect but make Cliff have a slightly more emotional connection to the audience and get some use out of the character since well he's dead now. So yeah that blade is Dropkick's, I actually have a pic of the two interrogating Cliff and a better look at the scene environment.

This is what I meant, he isn't a red VW Beetle.

So I take it Barricade isn't actually in the movie then?

We're comin' in hot! Off Amazon.com, we have new listings, as well as official stock images showing these new toys, Bumblebee Mission Vision Bumblebee and Shatter! We know these new toys are called "Mission Vision" due to another Amazon.com listing with the name 'Transformers Tra MV6 Mission Vision Figure AST" that uses the same Bumblebee image. Speaking of, the new figures appear to be simplistic toys that can easily transform into their alternate modes. The big gimmick is they have a lens through it's chest in robot mode, which may be 3x magnifier (judging from the box) or a decoder, similar to The Last Knight Reveal the Shield toys.

The toys are Shatter, who is in jet mode with her battle mask on many of her toys, and Bumblebee is in his classic Camaro mode, without his battle mask. The listings are: Bumblebee with the one image, Bumblebee with all images, and Shatter.

So thought's on these new, interesting figures? Let us know below!

With the Bumblebee film releasing wide soon, Toysrus Canada has reorganized to move ALL Transformers toys to the front of the store to set up a massive display. What you will see below can be found as soon as you walk into the store with huge Bumblebee Banners atop the plentiful pegs. While the Bumblebee toys are heavily featured and stocked, all Transformers toys can be found there, including the latest releases like Siege (Canada only has the Battle Masters so far) and BotBots. It is definitely striking to see this display amidst the holiday seasons since every Transformers live action film until now was a summer release, but it defintely makes for a more fun display and centers Transformers as the toys to get this holiday season.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Scottimus Prime, we have a sighting of a rather unusual Bumblebee Movie tie in product. This product in question is a Glow in the Dark pillow! It comes in two designs, one being Bee's face and the other being the Autobot symbol. These were sighted at a Walmart in Centereach, New York.

Here is the images as provided to us which also show the display the pillows were found in which is Bumblebee themed as well.

Are you tempted by these pillows? Will you be cuddling up with Bumblebee? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

After Hasbro made a surprise tweet revealing the existence of Nitro Series Dropkick and Blitzwing we now have a clearer look at the pair. Coming from regular breaking news source Snakas we get to see a better view of Blitzwing in package and Dropkick in what looks to be a series of stock photos. As with other Nitros they come with Energon cores to enhance their alt modes.

Articulation is pretty minimal like the rest of the line, but is that double elbows I see on Dropkick? Sure, it's all for the transformation, but take the extra range of motion where you can get it. I mean, Nitro Bumblebee doesn't even have elbows and it's his toy line!

So what do you think of Nitro Dropkick and Blitzwing? Sound off in the Energon Pub and keep coming back to Seibertron for all the latest Transformers news.

Obviously, that Blitzwing is no triple changer. I wonder is a triple changing SS figure is a possibility, of is the Movie design impossible to realise in toy form?

He's not a Triple Changer, just a Seeker who so happens to be a Seeker, I saw the film during the screenings on the 8'th so I can confirm this.

If there ends up being a Studio Series Blitzwing it's gonna be a normal Seeker, Bot to jet.

Whay that name tho? Like if Astrotrai was there but he could only transform into a space shuttle. Bee Blitzwing could have been called Ramjet and be a conehead or something.

Anyway, I call an easy Nitro Zeus repaint like they did for Thundercracker.

*Shrugs*

I presume a combination of things like trademark and a leftover for when this was still a prequel as a (Movie spoiler about character) Throwaway Decepticon featured in trailers to kill off, akin to Bonecrusher and Sideways

But honestly were gonna have to wait and see to learn why this particular character had that respective name.

If it makes you feel better his name isn't even mentioned in the movie. (Although it is in the credits)
