  • transformers help..

    We have recently got into watching all the Transformers movies and cartoons.

    So far we have a very small Optimus Prime (boot sale find for 20p) and a Prime Rachet ambulance (50p in a charity shop)

    The little one loves BumbleBee but we are struggling to find one that goes from car to robot. Can anyone advise us on which of the old transformers toys do?

    I know theres some in stores in the UK now that transform but they look nothing like the real BumbleBee when its a car

    Any help would be much appreciated

    Do you want the Bumblebee from the Prime Cartoon or movie where he is a Camaro, or do you want one where he turns into a VW Bug?

      Its the one like the movie that we are after.. Camaro I think.

      I looked on Ebay UK but alot of them aren't the proper car, is there a certain series they are from?

        The new movie comes out this summer and there will be tons of new Bumblebee toys out. Most stores around here are still full of the ones from the last movie.

          Didn't realise there's another due out, look forward to that.

          Have spotted one on Ebay, It's a Human Alliance with a figure too.. may keep an eye on it to see how high it goes

            I got one of those. The plastic broke on of the arms as soon as I took it out of the box. Looks good and displays nice, but not really a fun toy. Very complicated transformation too.

                Does anyone here collect transformers? I'm looking for some help in obtaining a new six voyager size devastator "combiner wars" release that is rumoured to be about $150 on release.

                  ^^^They should be out late summer. I know I'll be picking them up for my son as a Christmas present.

                    Thanks bobbyjack. Do you know if it will be sold as one complete unit or if the six constructicons will just be available individually?

                      ^^^As far as I know they are releasing it in a giftset. They announced yesterday that Takara is also releasing their own set. Usually the paint is better with the Takara versions. Living in the UK, it might be easier for you to get that version than the Hasbro one.


                      Here is a link to it from a UK store...

                        transformers help..

                        Cheers bobbyjack. I've looked on there before but they are really expensive (more than TRU) and they (kapow) have him at £140 ($212). I was hoping to get him from the US as the postage cost will be worthwhile if I was bringing some other bits over.

                            I have the Takara UW-Devastator set Pre-Ordered from BBTS for my personal display which is scheduled to come in December. I'm getting the Hasbro version from Amazon which scheduled to ship next week for my son. It will be pretty hard keeping it hidden until Christmas. Once this set started shipping (Hasbro version) I haven't heard anything bad about it. Depends on if you want a version to actually play with or you want one to display.

                              Well, I probably only want the hasbro version as it wil be for my son, how much is the takara one costing and how much was the hasbro one? Are both still available to order?
