    Yeah. The current one and not the concept art we’re seine everywhere else. I hope that MPM is gonna get reworked to be more accurate.

    Oh man, I wouldn't hold out on that. The toys are finalized very early on, especially since they're planning to release this soon. One can hope though.

    I was wondering what Enegon Igniters did, I need to see a few reviews before I decide to pick some of these up, several Bee's look to lack Elbows or two Hands.

    I was going to skip these, and focus only of Studio Series, but they do look very fun.

    Shatter, the red one, turns into a Harrier jump jet. The wings on her shoulders, the intakes on her shoulders. The kibble all matches perfectly, and even the wheel in the torso matches in shape and detail.

    Blitzscream, on the other hand, turns into an f4 Phantom.


    Dropkick is the one that turns into a helicopter, as we can see from his deluxe figure.

    Honestly people should never design figures off concept art just so they can release the figure early with the film release. LEGO does this all the time and it’s real unfortunate. I’m curious how they’re gonna call the movie accurate details like say the sword or the gun if they aren’t even in the film. The thing is I doubt they’ll do a version two if it’s wrong. Whatever. I just hope it’s good.

    Thing is, if they waited for final renders before even designing the toys, nothing would come out till a year after the movie, which kind of defeats the purpose of having a toy line (and other merchandise) to accompany the movie. Though I agree it's probably premature to release an MPM at the same time; it's been mentioned in another thread that the MPM might be the 77 Camaro. It's unfortunate, and it would be nice if the filmmakers could decide on final designs far enough in advance for it not to happen, but I guess it's the way things are.
    I think October has been stated a few times, though Smyths in the UK has them on the site with stock expected in September.

    Because the guys from Hasbro who were there while they were filming the commercial told them that's where it goes.

    Well we have seen photos of the prototype stolen by a ko company. They’ve been blurred but you get a good idea of the figure. Still has the wings, sword and gun. Honestly I wouldn’t mind if it was camaro bee and we got VW bed and blitzwing later next year. As long as it was accurate.

    Still really want Shatter's car mode.

    Can't wait to get an Energon Igniter Dropkick. :D

    Did they reveal her yet or was that another type of figure?

    They have a toy for a line called "Titan Changers" but it's only her Harrier jet mode. So far no Energon Igniter toy or any toy with her Plymouth/car mode. Maybe in Wave 2.

    Either way I hope she gets a studio series figure. Nice companion to dropkick.

    Well...it's as much like a Harrier as Animated Starscream was! I'm really hoping we get her as a Harrier in an SS or MPM...

    Honestly I’d love all the bumblebee cast as MPM figures.

    Oh of course so do I. But just saying. That’d be real cool if we got them all. Cause honestly they’re some of the best designs in the movieverse we’ve gotten so far. And having that MPM size, sculpt, build and articulation would be something real special.

    Energon makes more sense. If i remember right the cube resurrects optimus for a toy commercial last year. The effects were good so it made up for that.
