Hi, I didnt see this anywhere, but in Canada, someone just found the Toysrus exclusive Clash of Transfomers 3 Step Bumblebee and Optimus. These were never announced by hasbro and as far as I know, these are the first images we have ever seen of these:



Dont know if its also news, but that seibertron article also had first sightings of minicons and 5 step megatronus in north america:

First sightings for Transformers Robots in Disguise Minicons and First Images for exclusive 3 Steps

 

They're not entirely "coming out of nowhere" as Seibertron claims. The only glimpse of these guys' color schemes we ever got was via the RID mobile app:
RID App Hints at Possible New Toys - Transformer World 2005 - TFW2005.COM

However, this is indeed the first look at the toys themselves.


Regarding Mega 5-Step Megatronus, in case the staff wants to report him too, please note that griffin-of-oz just informed us that he's out in Australia as well.


The wave 1 Mini-Cons are out in Singapore (TFW2005 front page story) and Hong Kong. In fact, the wave 2 Mini-Cons have already been stocked by Hong Kong-based online retailers!

 

The deco on Optimus and Bee is so badass!!!

 

Ok, but I am glad that this is indeed something we had not seen yet (was afraid to post something that wasnt news). Also, are those weapons exclusive to these editions?

 

I wasn't trying to shoot you down, was just trying to add context.  

This is absolutely news.

The weapons look familiar, let me check.

 

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Speaking of news, is the minicon sighting in the article also news? I am new here and I didnt know if the site favoured its own users' findings and pics without watermarks. But then again, I also see stuff picked up on ozformers so I didnt really know.

In any case, I was glad to be of service.

 

Me personally, I tend to favor whichever sighting comes first, but the staff might favor its own users' sightings without watermarks.

Mini-Cons in Canada are news, thus far they have only been available in Asia.

 

Oh boy more of this. :/ That blue does not mesh with black and yellow Bumblebee.

 

Hey Nevermore, sorry for sounding annoying and impatient, but any reason why these pics havent been newsed yet? It would be my first news credit (2 if they also pick the minicon story). And it is a slow news day so what gives? Is there another place I should send this?

 

Revenge of the Allspark Blue...

Hey look a faceplate.

 

You just know barrels and barrels of allspark blue sit in warehouses around the world  

 

Of course, THIS version of Optimus comes with a sword...

 

I dont get the joke, care to explain?

 

Allspark blue paint, started being used in 2007 to show "powered up" characters, started as Target exclusive movie deluxes "all spark power" and just spread all over the place from there.  

 

Cool I definitely like all the one step & 3 step sculpts. I wish instead of adding wings on his helmet through faux way of adding them to his mid section and his head comes through, they figured out a way for them to pop out of his head so his head became normal size when slotted inside his body. I'll have to see it in hand but they come off more of like a collar here.

I'm waiting to see the prime for 30 bucks at walmart and I can see megatronus ending up at tjmaxs for 19.99

 

Not a joke ... truth lol. Well basically it seemed Hasbro for awhile didn't know what to do with the stuff they added it on all their movie products for awhile. It was the second stage of movie one toys called "Allspark Battles" or something. Or was it Allspark power ... I think the 1st one. Anyway it became a curse to us collectors. Hideous blue that still to this day its the first thing I thought of when seeing this bumblebee toy.  

 

Haha, ok, thanks for responding!
