They're redecos of last year's Weaponizers, though Bumblebee features retooling on the front of the car, presumably for the speech gimmick.

Its a cheap ass piece of ugly, unpainted grey plastic is what it is.

Screwed the pooch... Forgot all about that phrase! Which is a cleaned up version of the actual Navy term...

At least talking BB will move, as I can see collectors jumping on its "collector's value!" Although, I'm not sure exactly how collectible Prime toys are in general. They don't seem to move much at the local cons I've gone to.

Green Prime will move as well as the Red one did. Kids aren't really buying TF toys, as far as I can tell, so this subline of giant TFs... just a wasted effort as the market does not seem particularly welcoming right now.

I'm kind of confused as to how they can get that blade on a kid's toy. I get these are robots, but my mind instantly goes to the carnage a blade like that could do to a human body. In other words, isn't it a tad bloody? Or Medieval? It looks like a hacking weapon, and I don't recall seeing many of those on previous TF releases...

Optimus Prime, the butcher of Cybertron!!!!!!

Good. Now when I'm waving my Optimus around yelling "GIVE ME YOUR FACE!!" I can put this sword from Silent Hill's "Pyramid Head" in his hand. Wugh.

Sarcasm aside, nothing about this butcher shop weapon belongs with the noble optimus prime. Nor does the color. I'm sorely disappointed at the direction Beast Hunters took. I had hopes of Dinobots and Insecticons... but it just went so silly and weird.

We could have had a nice Weaponizer Megatron but nooooo we get BUMBLEBEE.

why? just.. wtf? people need to be fired.

I will pick these guys up if they re ever like 20$.
