With the latest rounds of reveals from Transformers Bumblebee Movie, and confirmation that Blue Light was indeed new Decepticon character Dropkick, we have a video review for the Energon Igniter series version of the character, sporting the blue muscle car mode (rather than the helicopter seen in the Studio Series version of the character).

The video, shared with us by fellow Seibertronian PrimeVsPrime, shows the Energon Igniter gimmick / power up mode, the vehicle mode, the robot mode and the very quick transformation between the two, as well as a quick comparison with Bumblebee himself. Check it out, and let us know what you think!

WalMart bother to have the new stuff. So the Bee Movie stuff are in, including the SS version. I'm only interested in the big Bug Bee and the smallest one.

How's the legion?
It is very good!

So I noticed the regular online retailers have MPM-07 for preorder at $90. Is that a Japanese import price? In other words, will I be able to get it cheaper by importing it myself? Will this get a regular US release (Amazon, Wal-mart, etc)?

He hasn't been offered in Japan yet (neither has Ironhide, what the heck?), but when he is he should be less after the typical Japanese discounts, though shipping may hurt depending on how fast you want it.

So, SS Bee Bug is no big news after all?

When we think of Walmart Transformers exclusives, the first thing that comes to mind is toys but today we have something different for you. Fellow Seibertronian and (CW) Optimus Prime voice actor JON3.0 found some exclusive Opimus Prime gloves at Walmart in the US for $4.97 USD. These are not Optimus themes gloves but rather blue gloves to emulate Optimus' hand colour in the G1 cartoon.

In Canada, the same week, yours truly found an Exclusive Bumblebee costume for the Bumblebee movie. This is different than the previously reported costume since this one has a hard plastic cover for the chest section rather than being all fabric. It retails for $34.98 CAD.

With the Transformers Bumblebee movie toyline now hitting shelves across the world, Hasbro has updated their YouTube channel with several videos advertising the toyline.

The big one to note here is this one featuring Transformers Bumblebee movie actor Jorge Lenderborg Jr playing around with a DJ Bumblebee toy showing off its features.

We also have several videos featuring the Nitro subline, though these have been posted up by Hasbro Brazil

Individual toy videos:

Finally, we have a new video for Power Charge Bumblebee.

Have you had any luck in getting these? Let us know in the comments and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

I wonder if an adult sized version would be ridiculously priced like the last one I saw.

Primal Prime has provided the web with great comparison images between both versions of Transformers Leader Soundwave. The latest release which is exclusive to Target for the Bumblebee movie line (and now thanks to the latest trailers, we know why this is happening) and the previous release is from the Titans Return line.

Edited: He does come with his shoulder cannon and rifle, both in a plastic bag in the right side of the package. They are both the same molds as the Titans return version, with the rifle painted silver and the shoulder cannon painted with new red paint details on the missile tips.

We also see how different the deco is with the Bumblebee movie release having darker paint apps. The biggest difference is in the alt mode, of coure, where we see retooled speakers. There is also a lot fo added deco for details like the channel tuning. The Titan Master component also has deco differences.

Which do you preffer? Let us know!

Well, I can be honest when I say that I do not think I need that Soundwave at all.

Does this cost as much as the previous release? Because, if so, there is no excuse for the weapons to be omitted. That knowledge has just shifted this from a "maybe" to a definite "no". I imagine I will not be alone in this sentiment.

Yes, it is 50$ USD. I dont udnerstand it either since I thought it was all part of the same master mold (on the same sprues). I dont get the reason for this omission.
