He actually is, he has the same body as Cybertron Bumblebee but with a movie-vied G1 Cliffjumper head.

I have a picture of him someone shared online on insta but I'm not gonna post it because you know...I don't wanna get banned.

It was like this except with a G1 Cliffjumper shaped head.

Edit this is Bumblebee's Cybertron form so it's like this for Cliff but red and a different head.

I was wondering why so many bots that don't appear in the movie have toys, yet Cliffjumper doesn't. At least he has something now!

It's likely that Hot Rod and Barricade were at one point considered for the movie early on but were eventually dropped when the idea that this film "might" be a reboot came around.

I really want a Studio Series Blitzwing, but that ignitor toy doesn't look bad at all!!

Also, this now means all 3 main Bee movie cons have this sized toy for both a land and air mode! pretty sweet really. I might get the jet Shatter and car Dropkick to go with their Studio Series selves so I have all 3 modes

That's the picture I have as well but I don't think it's allowed to be posted since that's a picture from a theater right?

(Then again all the other sites still have that pic up so maybe Hasbro/Paramount are letting off in that instance?)

Cliff looked great and he was cool in the movie. (That's all I'll say)

I'm guessing he suffered the same fate as his TFP counterpart judging from the blade through his chest? :-?

Well...spoilers
He get's interrogated by Shatter and Dropkick after they track the poor guy and his pod down somewhere around Saturn, one of it's moons I think Cliff doesn't tell them anything though just repeating his name and rank (It's a military thing in real life) as well as saying that he is valuable alive and that they will be rewarded with his safe return and he's clearly horrified when Dropkick decides to slice him in half...vertically so basically he suffered an Ambulon/Aoe Lockdown, afterwards the two Decepticons track Bee to Earth, so Cliffjumper was actually fairly close to where Bee was and it's possible that if he landed on Earth that the two could of met up but alas this was not to be, I personally would of had Bee and Cliff together at the start of the film and the two get split up due to Blitzwing and Sector 7, with Cliff trying to find Bumblebee afterwards and then have Shatter and Dropkick find and interrogate him for answers and then kill him, would of had the same effect but make Cliff have a slightly more emotional connection to the audience and get some use out of the character since well he's dead now. So yeah that blade is Dropkick's, I actually have a pic of the two interrogating Cliff and a better look at the scene environment.

This is what I meant, he isn't a red VW Beetle.

So I take it Barricade isn't actually in the movie then?

We're comin' in hot! Off Amazon.com, we have new listings, as well as official stock images showing these new toys, Bumblebee Mission Vision Bumblebee and Shatter! We know these new toys are called "Mission Vision" due to another Amazon.com listing with the name 'Transformers Tra MV6 Mission Vision Figure AST" that uses the same Bumblebee image. Speaking of, the new figures appear to be simplistic toys that can easily transform into their alternate modes. The big gimmick is they have a lens through it's chest in robot mode, which may be 3x magnifier (judging from the box) or a decoder, similar to The Last Knight Reveal the Shield toys.

The toys are Shatter, who is in jet mode with her battle mask on many of her toys, and Bumblebee is in his classic Camaro mode, without his battle mask. The listings are: Bumblebee with the one image, Bumblebee with all images, and Shatter.

So thought's on these new, interesting figures? Let us know below!

With the Bumblebee film releasing wide soon, Toysrus Canada has reorganized to move ALL Transformers toys to the front of the store to set up a massive display. What you will see below can be found as soon as you walk into the store with huge Bumblebee Banners atop the plentiful pegs. While the Bumblebee toys are heavily featured and stocked, all Transformers toys can be found there, including the latest releases like Siege (Canada only has the Battle Masters so far) and BotBots. It is definitely striking to see this display amidst the holiday seasons since every Transformers live action film until now was a summer release, but it defintely makes for a more fun display and centers Transformers as the toys to get this holiday season.

The Brantford, Ontario store didn't have that display (it's probably only in bigger stores), but they did have the Micro Master packs, as well as one lonely Lionizer.

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user, Scottimus Prime, we have a sighting of a rather unusual Bumblebee Movie tie in product. This product in question is a Glow in the Dark pillow! It comes in two designs, one being Bee's face and the other being the Autobot symbol. These were sighted at a Walmart in Centereach, New York.

Here is the images as provided to us which also show the display the pillows were found in which is Bumblebee themed as well.

Are you tempted by these pillows? Will you be cuddling up with Bumblebee? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

Posted by Emerje on December 17th, 2018 @ 2:37am CST

After Hasbro made a surprise tweet revealing the existence of Nitro Series Dropkick and Blitzwing we now have a clearer look at the pair. Coming from regular breaking news source Snakas we get to see a better view of Blitzwing in package and Dropkick in what looks to be a series of stock photos. As with other Nitros they come with Energon cores to enhance their alt modes.

Articulation is pretty minimal like the rest of the line, but is that double elbows I see on Dropkick? Sure, it's all for the transformation, but take the extra range of motion where you can get it. I mean, Nitro Bumblebee doesn't even have elbows and it's his toy line!

So what do you think of Nitro Dropkick and Blitzwing? Sound off in the Energon Pub and keep coming back to Seibertron for all the latest Transformers news.

Obviously, that Blitzwing is no triple changer. I wonder is a triple changing SS figure is a possibility, of is the Movie design impossible to realise in toy form?

He's not a Triple Changer, just a Seeker who so happens to be a Seeker, I saw the film during the screenings on the 8'th so I can confirm this.

If there ends up being a Studio Series Blitzwing it's gonna be a normal Seeker, Bot to jet.

Whay that name tho? Like if Astrotrai was there but he could only transform into a space shuttle. Bee Blitzwing could have been called Ramjet and be a conehead or something.

Anyway, I call an easy Nitro Zeus repaint like they did for Thundercracker.

*Shrugs*

I presume a combination of things like trademark and a leftover for when this was still a prequel as a (Movie spoiler about character) Throwaway Decepticon featured in trailers to kill off, akin to Bonecrusher and Sideways

But honestly were gonna have to wait and see to learn why this particular character had that respective name.

If it makes you feel better his name isn't even mentioned in the movie. (Although it is in the credits)

Hasbro's gotta keep those trademarks warm. It wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last. For a recent major example, AoE Hound is obviously more a Bulkhead in terms of design. But Prime was already taking care of the Bulkhead trademark while in the meantime Hound was vulnerable.

I'm pretty sure despite the similarities that Hound was always meant to be called Hound since the name exited since at least the early days of AOE filming since it was the only name announced at the time (We didn't know who Drift and Crosshairs were for sure heck when we first heard their names Crosshairs was still going by "Slingshot") and the only name of the 3 new Autobots said multiple times and the only one who's name was said by humans (Crosshairs only had one name call from Drift and voice acting is usually done at a later stage then the filming for the most part)

Just a personal theory of mine, not a true fact or anything.

Maybe the audio commentary will discuss Blitzwings name & if he gets his own mold for SS we then have a solid seeker available for repaints of all of them (as great as Nitro is).

Liking the dropkick figure, which has to be my first for the non studio series Bumblebee toys-kind of feels Battletrapish.

That make total sense. And the fact that Blitzwing's name is mentioned only in the credits and on the toy box is a nice compromise.

The Studio Series helicopter may be more realistic but I'm prefering the slightly chunkier look of Dropkick's robot form on that toy there (though he has his toes tucked in in one pic). Nicer colour scheme too.

I like the looks of the 2 new figures! Blitzwing looks pretty dang good, even though I'm still waiting for a Studio Series version. And that helicopter Dropkick looks much better than the Studio Series one. I'm hoping hard for a muscle car Dropkick in SS though. and this Copter Dropkick could make a pretty nice Rotorstorm!

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Barricade.it we have our first look and sighting of a new die cast 4 pack for the Bumblebee Movie from Simba Dickie. The set was found at a Leclerc-CONAD store in Teramo, Italy for €17.90. The pack features both a Hot Wheels-size Volkswagen Beetle version of Bumblebee from the movie that shares his name as well as a figure of Bee from the same movie along with a similarly styled pair of Bees based on his The Last Knight incarnation. All in a nice display box. The VW Bee appears to be the same as the one we saw in November sold on its own. It is unknown if the figures are also die cast or just the cars.

So what do you think? Like non-transforming die cast cars? Think Jada Toys does it better? Sound off in the Energon Pub!

Re: Hasbro Reveals New Bumblebee Movie Blitzwing, Cliffjumper and Dropkick Toys (2000126)
Posted by william-james88 on December 20th, 2018 @ 10:16pm CST

We saw a red redeco of Nitro Speed series (aka Legion class) Bumblebee recently, but we did not get a good look at it. We couldn't even confirm that it was indeed "Cliffjumper" written on the packaging. Well now we can. Friend to the site Prismartyr gave us a nice little scoop with our best look at the figure yet. They managed to spot a Speed series Cliffjumper in the Big W at Tuggerah, New South Wales, Australia today.

We now see that there is no retooling from the yellow VW Speed series Bumblebee, it is just a redeco. While Cliffjumper does indeed share the same body as Bumblebee in the film, it is Bee's Cybertronian body he has and not the VW body. Still, the theme of having similar bodies is there and better yet this becomes a fun homage to the red Bumblebee toy released in G1.

I like that we're getting the Cliffjumper, but he looks like a Knock Off recolor. Something about getting used to the yellow suddenly changing over to red which was common for KO toys, and the tone of it. Still might get the figure.

not remotely what cliffjumper looked like in it but yeah hasbro gotta be cheap i guess.
