Transformers Bumblebee Movie Toys Checklist **UPDATED 8/29

Hasbro Transformers Bumblebee Movie Toys
If you are a die hard Transformers fan, you've probably had a good look at all there is to see from Hasbro's Bumblebee movie toy line. For me, it's alllll new! And we're willing to bet it's new to a lot of you as well. That being the case, let's check out the newest toys hitting retail any day now, most of which featuring our favorite, outgoing yellow autobot!

We'll add to this as more images come our way, but here's what we've got for now...

The overall gimmick is "Energon Igniters" which works with a semi translucent energon block that comes with most figures. You pop the block into the vehicle and it acts as an "engine" for the car, allowing it to take off.  Several categories will be available. We've listed them small to large...

Transformers Arcee and Hot Rod Get Drunk and Sing

Cybertronic Spree Get Drunk and Sing Transformers Theme Song
There are many ways to celebrate our beloved, geeky past. If you are like me, you hunt for toys which trigger a happy place in the brain when eyes meet plastic. Some rewatch cartoons regularly. Some decorate their entire house in "Disney's Gummy Bears" decor and collectibles and no one is the wiser...until the day they die and people come in and neighbors say "he was such a quiet man...who knew?" Fans of Transformers can celebrate year round so long as Hasbro keeps revisiting those classic robot designs (and, as of late, crank out reproductions of the G1 toys) and metal rockers The Cybertronic Spree keep making the world a more awesome place with their energon-fueled performances. You see, the Cybertronic Spree is what happens when your favorite giant robots stop waging war on each other, and start rocking out together. Today, we get to see what happens when you add alcohol to that equation...

Prepare to beam up and roll out this September with Star Trek vs. Transformers, a four-issue comic book crossover that is more than meets the eye and is inspired by the continuities of two iconic cartoon shows: Star Trek: The Animated Series (1973) and The Transformers (1984).

Two of the most prolific Transformers and Star Trek comic book writers -- John Barber and Mike Johnson -- team with artist Philip Murphy and colorist Leonardo Ito to tell the story that fans have demanded for decades.

Toy Fair 2017: Hasbro's Top Secret Transformers: The Last Knight Toy Lineup

Toy Fair 2017 Hasbro Transformers The Last Knight Toy Line
We are so heavy into Toy Fair 2017, with news coming from multiple continents to the point where I'm starting to not even question where it's coming from. If it's fun, we are going to run it and then move onto the next thing because THERE ARE 500 NEXT THINGS!! Today we got a bit of news that, while not groundbreaking, is still fun, and all about giant frakking robots.

Those that follow Hollywood film projects know that it's not unusual for a production company to give a project a code name as to mask their filming info from prying eyes..and cameras. In recent years, this practice has been creeping every so slightly into the toy world...and today, it seems to be out in full force. We've got a small pile of Transformers: The Last Knight movie toy listings, complete with TOP SEKRET CODE NAMES!!! Intrigue. While it won't help you to begin your drooling over the movie toys, it may give you an idea of how broke you'll be, should they ultimately not be trash. (please don't be trash)

Toy Fair 2016: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Transform and Roll Out

We had some oddball cartoons on TV when we were kids. One particular cartoon featured a kid who could turn into a car when he got hot and bothered. ...It was a weird time. The fact that humanoid lifeforms transforming into inanimate object is border-line disturbing has never stopped toy makers from using this gimmick for popular characters from comic books, cartoons and movies. Some are instantly forgotten...and some become legend (i'm looking at you Punisher who's crotch is a gun). Just last year, Playmates released a wave of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles who transformed into their signature weapons! This year, they went a bit further...
