    Bring on the X-Transbots knock-off (with die-cast)!!! I'd buy that!

    iGear's stuff is also mass-produced, and not hand-made.

    In this thread: a whole lotta people that don't understand WonderFest.

    Send an e-mail off to a middle-man service like Tokyo Hunter, and they might be able to search for you. But Wonderfest is something of a crapshoot. First come, first serve and all that, with generally low production runs. Of course, expect to pay middle-man service fees and shipping on top of that, so you're probably going to have to fork over closer to $100.

    looks unfinished, but I love the way this looks. Proportions look good and transformation is clever. If they were too add a bit more sculpted detail, specifically in the face, I would really want one.

    Cute, but it lacks detail. At the moment it looks like something between a Transformer and a Minimate... which has it's charm, but it's not quite there.

    I like the concept though.

    Er... in other words, clearly Bumblebee? I mean, isn't he supposed to look a little bit lame? :) 

    I beg to differ. I don't like that one as much. Not quite recognizable enough.

    Too bad we never got the Titanium version. :(

    I really like it. That being said, when is someone going to make the triangular shaped decepticon seekers???

    If they can pull that off with G1 bot modes (like this one tries to) that would be even more unbelievable.

    Since this is LICENSED for Wonderfest, isn't this toy in the wrong section?

    Not transformation-wise.

    Not made by hasbro there by it is a third party. Or a company not associated with hasbro aside from purchasing a license.



    Just wait, I'm sure there will be garage kits coming.

    I''m very impressed by how they did the feet/saucer wings. And tying in the old cliche "Hood becomes chest" (even though that was never really the case with G1 Bumbles)

    Execution is weak obviously, but whoever engineered this piece get's the "thinking outside the box" gold star!
