TFW2005 is proud to bring you the first ever look at the Transformers Movie Bumblebee Mr. Potato Head toy. Currently, this officially licensed piece will be a promotional item exclusive to the UK and will be available in 2009.
The Bumblebee Potato Head was designed by our very own Jeff Englert (TFW username: Primus) and the prototype can be seen at the TFW2005 booth at BotCon on Sunday!
Click on the thumbnail to check out the prototype images and some renders, and for those in attendance at the convention in Cincinnati, make sure to swing by the TFW2005 booth on Sunday!

Hey guys. Thanks for the comments. Just realize that this isn't a full size item and is meant as a promotional item. It will be bundled with a non-TF item. For what it is, I'm very happy with it.
The internal name we are using is Bumblespud but I don't know what the final word on that will be.
Thanks again.

Haha, on first glance I thought it was a Homer Simpson toy. Thankfully once you actually look at it, it resembles BB. Nice job.

Probably one of the reaons it's a UK exclusive, fewer need to be made as it's a smaller market, and generally we pay more for TF related stuff…
ToddJumper
Why? It's not like Optimash went flying off the shelves. my local TRUs had a crapload and now are on clearance for half off.
Vector Sigma
The design image is great, the mock up is attrocious…
ORIO
Bumblespud I'm guessing?
Railguard
Now this is just silly, I appreciate the support or homage for this idea but the damn thing looks like Homer Simpson DUUUHHH!!!!!

Considering that all of the other cross promotional Potato Heads have had "potato related" names (Darth Tater, Optosmash prime, Idaho Spud), what's Bumble-bee's tater name? BakedBee?
If I could get one…. maybe I'd pimp him out with some gold trim and call him GoldSpud!

Want!
DeceptiKreep
not sure I like it. Looks more like combination of C-3PO and R2-D2.
Bahamut Prime
Teehee! That I don't see everyday!

I actually feel the urge to punt it…

WTF?! UK only?! I want one. It better secretly find its way over to the states, I need it to go with my Prime potato head.
Rotorstorm
funnily enough it doesn't, give us that lovely alt mirage situatedbehind him in someof the pics and it might go a little part of the way.
*bets that this will make it's way to the us anyway whereas the stuff we don't see immediately doesn't make it here at all*

UK only?? WTF?? This doesn't even come close to making up for years of being screwed by Hasbro UK
Randomus Prime
Hm, it's "bad" and it's "ass". Not liking it much. Sorry.

my wife has been collecting the character Mr. Potato heads. She was all about this one too. I really like it as well I hope we can get one!
Great job, Primus!

That's cute. Probably won't get him though. I'll save my money for regular TFs.
Boardwise
Tempted to get this.

Kewl, my Optimash Prime could have somebody to hang out with!
