Need another reason to go hunt down that Transformers DOTM Preview Figure that appeared last week? It appears that Hasbro's Official Transfomers Website will be getting a 3-D upgrade for it's upcoming Transformers DOTM content. The preview figure comes with a pair of 3-D glasses to view the upcoming content. The banner shown below has now been added to their page.

Because 3D is new again. You can also turn off the 3d effect if you want to watch the figures transform without glasses.

Go dig those 3-D glasses that came with your DOTM Preview Cyberverse Optimus Prime out of the closet. Hasbro has updated the Mechtech 3D Toy Viewer on their Official Transformers Toy Website with this week's entry, Deluxe MechTech Bumblebee. We also get a snazzy new render of DOTM Bumblebee on the homepage.

I already checked this out and I'm really impressed with the figure, although I haven't used my 3D on the Bee figure yet.

And by the way, the CGI model of Bee shown is still the ROTF version, not the DOTM one.

I can't even tell where his eyes are supposed to be, or if they are where I think they are, his head looks stupidly large/long. :roll:
Cool to see the stop motion transformations. You can spam the button to make them dance, hehe.

Megatron looks really cool, but his face is kind of bothering me. If he can get new arms, I don't see why he can't fix his face. Oh well, maybe it will grow on me.

Posted by T-Macksimus on April 20th, 2011 @ 2:57pm CDT
Nifty gimmick. I don't have any glasses but I'm able to tweak my vision to still get the 3-D effect but it gets "reset" when I hit the transform button and my focal point suddenly shifts. It's a lot harder than those "magic eye" 3D posters which I can make pop out almost instantly but the principle is the same for me.

Have to admit that Megatron is holding a bit more fascination for me than before but I still don't see myself putting much money into the DotM line especially since none of the toys will be in the same size range as the previous Movie lines. I'll have to actually lay my hands on them in a store to see if they are truly worth it but none of the pictures so far are really selling me on this line.

BADASS
Re: Transformers.com To Get 3-D Upgrade (1214413)

I've been sort of torn on the use of the "Wreckers" in DOTM:
On the one hand, it seems like cheap name-dropping to throw a bone to older die-hard fans since they don't look too much like their respective namesakes. On the other hand, it proves someone did a little more homework this time than for ROTF, so as long as they're bad-ass, who cares?

And all through my childhood, Roadbuster was the TF toy I wanted most but never had, and any version of him has to be better than the blasphemy of Playskool Energon Ironhide being named Roadbuster in Superlink, right?

And then I saw this mugshot. As much as I want to see that helmet as resembling LeoZack (another personal fav), something about his face and torso makes me think of Beast Machines Rattrap. And I really don't want to think of that, ever again, as long as I live, since he personified the very concept of taking a complex, well-rounded character and raping their very essence in order to mutilate them into something less interesting to suit a new creative team's more contrived story. No, Michael's masterpieces don't deserve to be thought of that way, since the Bayniverse has at least had the simple decency to not pretend to have ties to any previous continuies just so it can retcon 20 tons of organic garbage into them to build a more solid foundation for it's shaky story. No, I loved ROTF for falling flat on its face and not trying to take any of our old friends down with it. And no matter how hard this Roadbuster falls on his face (hopefully due to an exploding Mech-Tech Pathblaster-TM), I shall gaze upon said non-visage and remember just how much worse the movie might have been a decade ago, and hope that all knee-jerk Bay-haters do the same.

The Wreckers and their fans have survived worse.
