    Amazon Canada has images up now too. Unfortunately it's the same images we've seen before (even the case is European packaging!), just larger.

    EDIT:
    Toywiz at least has US packaging images: Full case, single bag. Still no robot modes though, sadly.

    of the fail kind.

    I'd love to see someone like Cheetimus work his magic on these. But as they are, no. Definite pass.

    So is this gonna become news sometime or what? I wanna hear all those complaints!!

    I only have Stealth BB, Sqweeks, Megatron, Shockwave, blue Starscream, and Chopter.
    From this series, I only find Lockdown, Ironhide, and Barricade interesting. I was thinking Sentinal as well, but it looks too crap with unpainted wheels, as does Ratchet -- never liked green Ratchet anyway.
    I hope stores here get series 3. I still see a bunch of 1 & 2 around that stores are trying to get rid of.

    Hurry up and get here. Most looking forward to sentinal then the others are not as exciting as series 2 but barricade, ironhide and guess even though he is an ugly bright green - ratchet. Slug looks like he is sitting down but i guess it could also be that he is wearing really big pointy shoes, want to see if you can bend his legs the other way to have pointy hips as that might look better.

    The blue drift looks much better than the red drift, the red one just doesn't look right. Red looks good on sentinal tho, think he has more bot paint aps which helps, he looks so cute. Come to me little Nemoy.

    I hope we get more brand new molds next time too. Want jetfire, the twins and even a combining devastator next time ok hasbro?

    Got these three today (Taiwan @Carrefour department/grocery store):
    image.jpg
    I like Ironhide's 'X' frame design. Haven't seen this yet with any of the ones I already have.

    Lockdown's body stays locked upward strong enough to hold his weight. And the translucent plastic looks nice.

    Barricade's transformation is ALL arms! Upon first look, I was wishing for another step at least, but immediately appreciated his cool look. Those big arms really do look great.

    The letters on the packages are much clearer than on series one and two. The window on the back of Ironhide's was in the glued area however, so couldn't confirm by color. Didn't matter, the letters were easy to read, and all correct.

    Maybe IH is like the grinlock design, does it scissor? Can IH move his arms forward btw?

    Lockdown design is repeated in few figures. Drift and tracks. Cogman has it too however it just doesn't peg extended, it's like they forgot to put the peg mechnasim inside him which is really annoying. Also Drift from wave2 wasn't secure either but not as bad. Another thing from drft and cogman is they put a support bar between their knees, was that really needed i dont think so. I like the design on lockdown and tracks enough it's cool but it does make their alts more flimsier because as soon as you touch the alt the bonnet collapses, also the bot kibble making them back heavy. These might be little cheap toys but it is nicer when their designs are amazing and really pull off the look, stand well and do each mode securely.

    Yep, Ironhide's arms can move forward, and all around, just a little obstructed by the chest. All three of them have ball-joint shoulders.

    Question: Are these the first Transformers: Bumblebee toys to be released?

    I would love to see a scale enthusiast lose their mind at the prospect of Ironhide being shorter than Barricade :D

    I am a scale enthusiast. I don't like the movies either. I do like these tiny turbos tho...

    It's a refreshing relief not worrying about scale, scale still gives me the greatest kick but appreciate these for what they are.

    There is actually a scale rule with these though, it goes like this: big guys a rendered small and small guys are rendered big. So ironhide is small, sentinal is small, blackout is small, hound is small etc. Sqweeks and bumblbee and other car bots a bigger etc, in a sense.

    I am a scale enthusiast. I also like the movies (TLK has left me convinced that continuing the current storyline would yield nothing though)

    I've also been collecting that new MPM line and following its news diligently. I am so grateful HasTak is willing to invest for those of us that enjoy the live-action movies, especially as this iteration approaches its final hour.

    But Cha Chi, I've seen you in practically every Tiny Turbos News Post or something of the sort. I recognize these are not my primary interests (honestly I'd collect them if they had rolling wheels as that's my base requirement for most toys), but clearly these are your oyster. I am very happy for you, that news emerges that HasTak is still willing to continue this series into the Bumblebee: Movie. Honestly, if you started or could direct me to a Tiny Turbo Changers discussion or appreciation thread, I'd follow it. I don't see myself collecting these but I appreciate the novelty and range of style/characters that have been done so far

    Just want to go on record that I believe DOTM Cyberverse line was one of the most respectable things to happen to the franchise

    Ah, i didn't see your question. These are the first toys but as Nevermore would probably point out these are not officially linked to the Bee movie, just that they are "movie edition"...

    Are you collecting studio series aswell? Hasbro has woken up with the ss line. They are actually delivering with things like scale and good degree of accuracy. Maybe over the last 3 movies there hasbro kind of slipped but yeah there is a great focus on delivering the goods now it seems. We saw a few chinese ko type companies making really good ko toys and originals, essentially they were delivering but now it is good to see Hasbro responding and bringing that accuracy. They are giving fans what they would want in a way that was the reserve of ko/3p companies.

    Hasbro is always going to need to be inventive, things like one step changers a the like but good to see they can still do both. I really like one steps but feel hasbro arent making the line compatible with the other lines. 3 steps changers, spark tech, etc they are just all movies linda related but not really.

    I like toy lines that strike a balence, toys that are sill toys, represent as many charcaters as possible(collectable) and have good accuracy and these tiny turbos fall into that. Yeah Dotm cyberverse was cool in the same respect. Hasbro made blindbag figures before this that were essentially one molded figurines so these with a multi step transformation(moving parts) are very welcome. Doesn't really matter about wheels i will take the transformation.

    Biggest problem is the distribution has been a nightmare, i am lucky to have most of these but currently i know a few stores around me still sitting at least two fresh boxes of wave1. That is not right and is a shame for every body who does or wants get into these.

    Hopefully catch you on many more tiny turbo threads eltonlin!

    Sheeeeeit, that is pretty cool. I would take that. Maybe a ttc one would have a little more definition, maybe if they did one they could make it combine from three individual charcters than do the whole lot, think that would be acceptable.
