UK distributor Abgee has listed some new items on their website which appear to be new figures from the upcoming film. While we don't know everything about these new items there is much speculation to be done. We know that the new Voyager Class figure for Studio Series bears the code name 'Destroyer' and that the SKU does not match any known figure. There is another item by the code name 'Stryker' which is likely a code name for the Bumblebee movie and a possible dancing DJ figure.

While there are no pictures of these items available, we shall keep our optics open for them. If you find any information on them please do let us know. For a full list of these new items please refer to the Abgee website. In the meantime there are some previously listed Bumblebee: The Movie items.

Since it's a voyager and therefor the wrong size to be the Red Car Decepticon and Stryker is probably Bumblebee this Destroyer is likely to be a different character.

Perhaps the main villain of the film? (Or maybe it's a code name for a character from a previous film could happen)

And is DJ a codename for a transformer at all or for a dancing human figure? (Can't really imagine the latter but it could happen)

Actually Stryker might be a completely separate character from Bumblebee. A Stryker is actually a form of attack vehicle that the 2007 Wreckage toy transformed into. On a side note, I have nothing to do with this.

Well the code names are not supposed to make sense, and so far Stryker seems to be Bumblebee although there's no confirmation sure based on the listings it's probably so.

The PotP leaks also contained what is now known as the Studio Series, and all figures were properly named, except for one: TF6 Stryker. Combined with leaked Japanese listings, we now know "Stryker" is the code name for Bumblebee.
Also, the Bumblebee won't be the familiar Camaro this time, as the movie is a prequel set in WWII I believe.

Nope has nothing to do with WW2, it takes place in the 80's and Bee is a Volkswagen Beetle here is an official photo with the main human of the movie. (Also box art stuff was leaked with a photo of Bee and he looks much "younger" then the other movies)

Image

And this is the only picture we have of the Red car Decepticon from the movie, we wouldn't have known about this guy until later on since we did not see much filming photos compared to the other movies. (The guy in the photo is Travis Knight)

Image

The red car guy wouldn't make sense as a voyager so if it's a character from the Bee film and not from a previous movie then it's a new character we have not heard about before.

Was looking on TFW005 and I saw a post from one of the news guys there who was talking about someone on 4chan who claimed to have been at Nuremberg Toy Fair 2018, while I don't completely believe the source, crazier things have happened and the original names is something the franchise has done for awhile now. (Daytrader, Nitro-Zeus, Mohawk, Reedman, Skipjack, etc)


SilverOptimus from TFW2005 wrote: On 4Chan there is a guy claiming to have attended Nuremberg Toy Fair 2018. Take the following info with a grain of salt. Consider them as fake until proven otherwise.

Bumblebee: The Movie
VW Bumblebee
Decepticon Decker (Red GTX)
Decepticon Scrash
Unrevealed 4th figure
Energon Igniters gimmick line is similar to Nerf Nitro/Botshots
Bee Vision mask


I'm not going to 4chan to find the post myself cause you know...it's 4chan.

Alright thanks for the confirmation Will.

The Director himself has never said anything it was Lorenzo (Who has been known to say somethings that don't end up true like seeing Prime's and Megatron's backstory in TLK, although the number of robots is kinda a different subject)

He specifically said it would only star 4 robots, not that there would only be 4 robots, say there was a cameo of Optimus at the beginning or/and ending of the film that would mean he did not start in the movie.

http://deadline.com/2017/10/china-trans ... 202191402/

So the amount of figures on that list does sort of align with the statement there is Bumblebee, at least two Decepticons being the red car and then presumably this "Destroyer" character since a voyager is too big to be a car, then there is the fourth star which is likely a con. (I honestly think that the only other Autobot that could be in this film Besides Bee and the confirmed role of Peter Cullen who might or might not be Prime is Hot Rod since he has that whole being Bumblebee's brother in arms from the past that TLK established or there could be another Autobot that is killed at the start to show a threat like how Ratchet and Canopy did)

We have an update on a list we previously published of listings which did not have images or descriptions.

TRA ACTION ATTACKER 20 AST
TRA ACTION ATTACKER 30
TRA ACTION ATTACKER 15 AST
TRA ACTION ATTACKER 8 AST


These Action Attackers turned out to be the entire Cyberverse line, with the numbers being the confirmed price points. You can find out more about that particular line, here.

Image


The previous listings also had Project Storm which we now know to be the codename for the Authentics line:

Transformers Generations
TRA GEN PROJECT STORM (?)

TRA GEN PROJECT STORM 10 (?)

With that said, we have new Action Attacker listings below. These are different than the previous ones and are probably for the Bumblebee Live Action film. Which means that, as with the Cyberverse line, the Bumblebee Movie line will be full of action gimicks.

E1886 Action Attackers Battle

E1907 Action Attackers Costanza

E1906 Action Attackers Bania

E3522 Action Attackers One Step

Along with these new listings were the following which also seem to be for the Bumblebee movie line:

E2093 Energon Ignitors Radar (TF Fan Nevermore informs us that "Radar" was previously used as Optimus Prime's code name)

E0753 Energon Ignitor Blue Light

E0752 Hot Rod Power Series

E0759 Bumblebee Power Series

And two Masterpiece listings which may or may not be for toys we already know are coming.

E0705 Masterpiece Autobot

E0835 Masterpiece Bumblebee

All of these listings were found on www.srbrinquedo.pt and we were made aware of them by TF Fan Nevermore.

So there is a chance for new Hot Rod merchandise which also means a chance he is in the Bumblebee movie.

Makes sense he is the one other Autobot that makes sense to be in the movie besides a new character considering the two were on Earth working together during World War 2 they had to have separated at some point so maybe the movie could show that.

UK toy distributor ABGee had already proved itself useful as a news source for upcoming Transformers toys for the Bumblebee spin-off movie due in cinemas this December (initially in June), and it looks like they may be useful again!

BotCon no longer exists and there wont be a Hascon until 2019. Figures will probably be teased over the coming months and then fully revealed at SDCC.

Previous listings for the Bumblebee Movie toyline included toys labeled as Energon Igniters. We had no images, no description and no indication as to which characters would even be in the toyline. Was it just going to be a ton of Bumblebee toys on the shelves? Well, now we know better. Listings for these Energon Igniter toys have been found on Amazon India and we finally get an idea as to what the gimmick is. But better yet, we know that that toyline won't just be made up of Bumblebee.

Of course, Bumblebee will be there, but the listings also include Barricade, Hot Rod and none other than Megatron. What is super cool is that the listing states that this Megatron toy turns into a tank. This does not mean that there will be a tank Megatron in the Bumblebee movie but at least it lets us know that there will be a tank Megatron on the shelves, in this subline.

Regarding this subline, the revealed gimmick is very similar to the All Spark gimmick from Transformers: The Last Knight since the descriptions state that a device which does not come included with the toy must be plugged in. The listings also state the amount of steps involved with each toy. And lastly, we see that some characters are for different lines within this Energon Igniter Subline. For instance, Megatron is part of the Power Series while Barricade is part of the Speed series.

Here are all the descriptions:

Megatron

Enter your model number to make sure this fits
Transformers: bumblebee energon igniters power series megatron figure
Energon igniters core (sold separately) activates driving action
5-Inch-scale figure that features classic transformers conversion
Converts between robot and tank modes in 9 steps
Harness energon igniters tech and unleash the power within
Includes transformers: bumblebee energon igniters power series megatron figure and on-box instructions
The lifeblood of transformers robots, energon fuels the epic action on cybertron and beyond. Now, imagine harnessing the transformers energy source with energon igniters figures. Convert this energon igniters power series megatron figure between robot and tank modes in 9 steps. Then plug the energon igniters core (not included) into the vehicle and push down to unleash driving action. This megatron figure stands at a 5-inch scale with eye-catching detailing. Look for the energon igniters core sold with power plus series and nitro series figures (each sold separately). Megatron rolls his optics at the autobots slowing down to protect the humans. With gladiator speed, he converts into tank mode and barrels through obstacles that stand in his way. Harness energon igniters tech and unleash the power within.


Barricade

Enter your model number to make sure this fits
Transformers: bumblebee energon igniters speed series barricade figure
Energon igniters core (sold separately) activates driving action

Look for the energon igniters core sold with power plus series and nitro series figures (sold separately). Barricade patrols the streets to enforce the law of megatron and carry out his devious schemes. He tricks his targets into believing he is a trusted police officer before converting into a vicious deception. Harness energon igniters tech and unleash the power within.


Autobot Hot Rod

Transformers: bumblebee energon igniters power series autobot hot rod figure
Energon igniters core (sold separately) activates driving action
5-Inch-scale figure that features classic transformers conversion

Look for the energon igniters core sold with power plus series and nitro series figures (each sold separately). Autobot hot rod is quick to ignite his engine into high gear. A brash warrior, he’s always ready to charge into the next deception showdown alongside his fellow autobots. Harness energon igniters tech and unleash the power within.



Bumblebee

Enter your model number to make sure this fits
Transformers: bumblebee energon igniters power series bumblebee figure
Energon igniters core (sold separately) activates driving action

I still hold on to my belief that Hot Rod is the most likely other Autobot to be in the Bee film besides a cameo from Prime.

The toy listings show that he is at least a character in mind with the toyline.

Course some of these could be toyline filler like how it used to be back in the first 3 movies...except this time it's for a gimmick line with previous movie characters.

tried to submit as news but the Passcode image wasn't working. Sorry. :( Didn't know where else to put this cos couldn't find a Bee solo movie toy thread and the site is throwing up more weird errors.

Anyways this looks good but i take it it's NOT the expected Studio figure of this Bee and is instead a still pretty decent action gimmick figure?

At least we know why Has\Tak managed to get that license for the VW Beetle now - because of the (presumably very hefty) fee for having it in the movie, rather than it just being for the Masterpiece.

Thanks to a number of Seibertronians sending us the notification, including Carnivius_Prime, Scottimus Prime, and ScottyP, we have images of the first actual reveal of a Transformers Bumblebee Movie figure from the upcoming toyline that will accompany the theatrical release in December!

Its full name is Power Charge Bumblebee - a name we had seen in previous news for the toyline as Igniters Power [something] and Power Core - and is a transforming robot to Volkswagen beetle, with charging chest gimmick and moveable battlemask.

Image


More images can be seen on the Nerdist article covering the reveal here, which we've also misrrored below!

Featuring robot sounds and phrases activated by spinning the power core in his chest, as well as engine-revving noises for the vehicle, Power Charge Bumblebee fully transforms into car mode in 17 steps.

What’s this? A gimmicky figure with good articulation and detail? Cyberverse should be taking notes.

I didn’t expect much from the Bumblebee movie line (outside of studio series), but this is actually pretty impressive!

For a non-generations/studio figure it actually looks a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing the Studio figure too but may also get this one for funsies.

By the way this bit "including Carnivius_Prime, Scottimus Prime, and ScottyP" amuses me cos... well... guess what my first name is? :P

Now this looks good, I might have to get back into the movie toys with this movie
Can't wait to see the studio series or masterpiece of this Bumblebee

That Bumblebee toy is also made for kids and guess what? It doesn't suck nuts and bolts.

So there isn't an excuse besides bad engineering design on Hasbro's part.

Stop defending bad figure engineering

Same. It transforms, has a decent looking alt mode and robot mode, dont really have any issues especially when this doesnt target us. Looks like a god toy for kids, not dissimilar to other fun toys in the past like in the UT trilogy.

But thats the point. Both this toy and toys from the cyberverse line are for the exact same audience. And this one is a far better execution (aside from Shockwave)

If it weren't for the unfortunate chest I could have seen myself buying this. This is what Allspark Powered should have been, they would have sold a ton of them if that were the case. This bodes well for the line, but I fear that knowing the rest of the line is going to be heavily gimmicked this is the best they have to offer (for kids, SS aside).

I might pick this up, it definitely makes up for some of the crap we're getting from Cyberverse (excluding Shockwave and possibly that Ultra class Starscream) Hopefully the rest of the line looks this good.

Agreed. The chest is a major downer. Outside of that, I'm seriously kinda stunned. This looks surprisingly good!

Yeah i had a reply to my twitter post about this figure (mentioning that i think it's better designed than the Cyberverse figures) and the guy said this is aimed at older kids and I pointed out that both this figure and all the Warriors and Scouts of Cyberverse say "Age 6+" on the box. Heck I expected the Cyberverse ones to have a younger age on them cos most 6 year olds I've known over the years been smarter than what Hasbro seem to assume.

I mean how much is it going to really cost though? $15? $20? I wouldn't really call that a waste for a toy, as an adult paying for toys in general is a bit of a waste of money. (This isn't to say Adults can't enjoy toys but they don't have the childlike attachment they used to have when they were younger.)

yeah, sometimes feel like everything i buy for myself that isn't a life essential (like food, and just enough food to live on) is a waste of money and that i should donate way more than i do to those less fortunate than even I but not sure if that's a healthy way of thinking. I dunno if I'd buy this particular toy myself as I'm waiting for the Studio toy as that's more my thing but if I was to receive this one as a gift I'd be quite happy with that and I reckon most kids would be too. I dunno what I'm talking about. I'm tired. Point is this VW Bee is suprisingly decent for a 'gimmick' TF figure and I would hope it pleases a lot of kids particularly on christmas day if they so happen to receive it from Santa. Ok i'm done for the night. must rest. Night folks. :)

This looks surprisingly fun for a "gimmick" toy, I think I'll pick this guy up! I'm mostly impressed that he has full articulation, they actually managed to get the wheels in his feet in the right position, and the battle mask not only looks fantastic but they used clear plastic for the eye sections! on a non-Masterpiece toy! I'll probably paint him up a bit to match the colors better but even if not he looks like a lot of fun.

Can't wait to see the Studio Series/potential Masterpiece versions of this guy if his "kiddy" figures are this good.

I didn’t expect much from the Bumblebee movie line (outside of studio series), but this is actually pretty impressive!

My exact thoughts! Cyberverse really needs to take notes here

Considering this is a gimmick toy, that is a great looking for gimmick toys standard. I am looking forward more to the generation toys now.
