    Nothing like that on Barricade?
    I seem to recall seeing some gearing in his chest.

    Very interesting. It's great to be able to read descriptions of what all these different toys we've been hearing about will do. Thanks for your great work, Prowlus!

    The Robot Heroes line sounds interesting. Have we heard about those before?

    Edit: Just remembered what the Star Wars Galactic Heroes line is. The TF version might be cute, but I don't know if I'll be buying many of them. My wife will probably want some. :)

    Just for Frenzy. I dunno if that really counts. When you open it he will pop out a little. Never noticed any other automorphing.

    They should call the whole line Transmorphers. I think the auto-morph gimmick will be pretty cool. I remember seing some gears on Bumblebee's legs, I wonder what they do?

    $90 apparently. Multiply that price by 2 for Europe.

    Well shit.

    I guess it's time to re-mortgage the house and start building that "collector's den" to put all this stuff in.

    oh my god no not at all, youve got complete y the worng end of the stick! look at the ratchet toy, see his nice fat rounded legs? as you bend the leg, theres a piece of plastic coming down insdide from teh knee that pushes out the side panels to make them curved... therefore not simplifiyng hte transformation, but getting rid of the boxy look

    so the animatronics in ultimate Bumblebee sound kinda like tf meets robosapian am I way off? an earlyer post said the staff at hasbro thought it was the coolest thing for a long time and to me that would be the coolest thing ever!!!! Imagine him walking around your house auto transforming and then driveing off that would be awsome!!

    Sigh, Hasbro UK's marketing Dept really does consist of two monkeys in a shed doesn't it? You'd think they would put some effort into promoting their main line of the year.

    I wonder does Hasbro US know or care how badly Hasbro UK handles transformers?
