Some of the transformations have been a bit tenuous on the associated merchandise so far, though. "Transforms into folded-up-bike for ease of portability" is about as much as I'd expect. A perfectly valid and useful feature to be sure, but it ain't exactly "converts from bicycle to jetpack... and back!", is it? I mean it's 2007, folks!

I don't class bikes as toys. I classify them as transportation... Some may use them as toys.

Cool, I wonder if my husband will see these sort of things. He works in a warehouse for Canadian Tire and he might see this sort of thing come in...or he might not, he is doing topshelf more now.

I wouldn't doubt this, I bet it'll be a regular bike with just a plastic pannel on the bars and some decals.

Still, it it's cool like that TF BigWheel I had when I was little, that could be cool.

That thing had a spinbreak, a little gun on the handles and best of all, the front was moulded to look like a car, and the grill flipped over to reveal a secret robot face!

Thanks news post, I total forgot about that thing till now.

I always wondered what Decepticon air fresheners smelled like. What smells like Decepticon? Jet fumes?

I really don't know where to put this thread... Bikes count as toys, right?

I used to be a Bike Builder for the Wal*Martians. Bikes are in the toy sections. Therefore bikes are toys.

I also used to assemble Bikes for a Bike shop in G.ville FL. They sold bikes to (mostly) college students around UF. These were just more expensive toys.

So, bikes are toys.

I remember those cheesy 20" BMX's that had a plastic plate in the front with the # and some logo, I can picture these the same way with the Transformers face on it and the logo on the plastic chain guard.

However, it would be kick @ss if somehow, they could transform in one way or another.

did anyone here have the transformers big wheel? it was red and black. The handle bars had a car's front end. The quarter panels slid out over the grips to make arms and the front end flipped up to reveal a face...

Anybody know what i'm talking about?

I wish they actually transformed more.
I mean seriously, 3 moving parts just didn't cut it:

I certainly do. My wife just found one on e-bay for our 5-year old son. Like all G1 - some sticker wear.

Interesting. Not surprising ( I dont think anything that gets released with the Transformers branding on it will surprise me now that I have seen the Spiderman 3 Toaster...)

Im guessing they'll be plain bikes with blue/red and yellow paint schemes and maybe a number plate of sorts to put on the handlebars. The "transforming bikes" aspect would be cool, even if they were those foldaway bikes that are popular throughout asia...

A transforming bike? They exist, just not in a place called reality! =P I bet some of you will buy them because I know some of you have kids which there is nothing wrong with that but some diehard fans will buy it for themselves. Course I only get the DVDs, comics, and who could forget the toys. On the bikes are toys debate, they are made for transportation. If you want to find out what it is mainly for go back to why it was made in the first place. =P

Dude if these transformed like the old Robotech Cyclones I'd flip. Something tells me the Transforming gimmick will be three wheeler to two wheeler or something like that.

Hmmm...good question.

Megatron: "Why are you sniffing like that around me?"
Me: "I wanna see if you smell."
*Megatron is getting angry. He raises his arm towards me, begins charging fusion cannon*
Megatron: "GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I END YOUR PITIFUL EXISTANCE!!!"
*I leave in a hurry*

There you go.

I had the air freshners released a few years ago. The Autobot one smelled like cinnamon. I can't quite remember what the Decepticon one smelled like.

Maybe the Decepticons smell like Glade Air Freshoners. Kinda strong, but also pretty smelling.
