    "TRUKK NOT PEEZZUH!!!"

    At some point they gotta do a big playset bot that turns in to a mall. I'm dumb but someone with a few more brain cells could probably come up with a good mall based pun on "Metroplex."

    I think the vehicle will turn into a video game controller, there... like Game Over/Outtacontrol. There is no way they would be selling a remote controlled, motorized transforming vehicle for 20$.

    Seeing as how we’ve already had Pizza and Game Controller BotBots figures, maybe the descriptions relate just to the included ‘pilots’, and the vehicles themselves are something different?

    Like, I dunno, a pizza box and a console respectively?

    Yay more Botbots...that I can't get to.

    Ahh Monopoly. Fostering family grudges since the early 1900s. (Yes, I had to look that up.)

    Do you mean like this one from 2007? https://www.amazon.com/Usaopoly-Tra...BV9VTEKJ2MH&psc=1&refRID=E48S7VS0BBV9VTEKJ2MH

    I have a copy & the pewter figurines are dope especially Soundwave of course!

    They also did a Risk if you missed out on it as well with a transforming game board: https://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-55536-Transformers-Risk-Game/dp/B000M5I09Q/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=transformers+risk&qid=1609887556&s=toys-and-games&sr=1-1

    They could, if they wanted to make it expensive, make it a flip board with both versions of the game possible to play. Boards are not that expensive to produce.

    Just pointing it out that the Monopoly set has a current Hasbro product number, so isn't (shouldn't be) a re-release of an older version.

    Actually, since it HAS a Hasbro product number, it won't be one produced by the two companies that have licenses to produce themed Monopoly games. (almost all *themed* Monopoly games are not produced by Hasbro... as Hasbro produces larger minimum quantities to sell around the world, while the themed sets are small runs that are too small for Hasbro to care about, to sell mostly sell in specialty stores or in a single country if it is a geographical theme)

    This could either be a good quality version from Hasbro in-house with fans in mind, or a really cheap version to sell by the millions around the world.

    The 2007 Transformers Monopoly set (with Dreamwave art on the box, and the board folds in half) was produced by a company called USAOpoly (looks like it could have also been re-released in 2013 with new box deco).
    The 2015 Transformers Monopoly set (with Gen1 toy character art on the box, and the board folds into quarters) was produced by a company called Winning Moves.
    The 2017 Transformers Premium/Deluxe Monopoly set (plastic sides fold open to reveal playing track, with original artwork in the middle) was also produced by Winning Moves (for about US$300-500!).
    (my searches also came up with a Monopoly Junior Transformers "2" set, but it looks like a "knock off" with bad artwork and branding on the box, with no company logos anywhere, and really bad "engrish" product description on the back)

    I think someone mentioned Dino Dropkick being the codename for Car Dropkick.
