Thanks to Seibertronian sideswipe6520, we have word that the new Power Series Shatter and Blitzwing have made their way to US retail! As you might remember, the Power Plus Shatter toy, which comes with the little engine and turned into her muscle car mode, was found a few days ago, and how her Jet mode has been found to go with her car self, enabling you to have her in both of her movie alternate modes! In addition, the new jet Shatter wave includes the Megatron repaint with a new head Blitzwing, transforming into a tank, though we have no word if he will get a jet toy eventually.
Both of these figures were found in a Walmart in Wichita, Kansas for $9.84, so if these figures interest you, head on out and start hunting them down!

K.
Someone think this may be a way to get rid of this bad idea's stocks.
Seriously, for around the same price you get the Power Charge Bumblebee, one of the BEST noisy Bee toy to ever came out in years.

Psst! Just because adults who play with toys don’t like it doesn’t mean kids who play with toys don’t like it either.

I'm looking at it from BOTH perspectives. My 9yo self would have found that DJ Bee fun for at least 10 minutes. Then it would have been forever ignored. 60$ down the drain.
The modern kid will unpack that expensive but oh so cheap looking toy instead of the latest video game. Cue the entitled crying.
Seriously, the "it's for kids" is a fallacy. The big Power Charge Bee is ALSO mainly aimed at small kids. Yet there's way more bang for the same price point as the DJ Bee. I compared toys in the same line here. A line where every toys are aimed at the same public. I compared apples with apples.
I would aknowledge your point if I had taken a Studio Series figure as an exaple however.

Or making a Venom film w/o Spider-Man, or a She-Ra Cartoon w/o He-Man, or voting some dead person into Congress...

This time around, it happens to be DJ Bumblebee, the non-transforming, music-loving figure from this year's Bumblebee movie. Also as with years past, you can head over for Bumblebee to win! He's been listed in the action figure catagory, against toys like the Mattel Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom Dinosaur line, the Pokemon Battle Feature action figures, and more. You can place your vote in the Action Figure category and all the others here, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for an update if Bumblebee takes the award home!
That junk over Power of the Primes Leader Evolution Optimus Prime? Blasphemy!

I cannot either. That's a 60$ "shampoo bottle" with a voice chip.

It reminds me of a toy jet I had that worked on the same spring/gear motor system. Even if you don't like it I'm sure your pets would love chasing it around.

Here is the Tweet:
We’re in #LA kicking off the world premiere of the @BumblebeeMovie with a showcase of our #Transformers #BumblebeeMovie products! Who’s ready to #JoinTheBuzz?
And here are the toys:
Speed Series Cliffjumper
Nitro Series Blitzwing
Nitro Series Dropkick
While these are of course aimed at kids and not collectors, the toys have been selling well with good word of mouth regarding value, durability and the gimmick. So these could be fun toys to add to any kid's Christmas stocking.
Here are the images posted with the tweet showing the new toys, enjoy!

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.

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.

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

He actually is, but not sporting that particular body.

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?

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!

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
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.

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.
