New Images of Movie Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Keychains and Carabiner Set

Those keychains don't look practical. I can see those figure getting tangled in lanyards and ripping holes in pockets.

Forbidden Planet have pics of the projector keychain and the minibot keyring reissues.

solid

Like 83457W422102 said, these keychains look impractical and the carabiner set looks ridiculously lame.

The keychains look pointy and probably dangerous. Surely they should have orange tips?

listining device's?

what did we do to deserve this

What does the carabiner set even have to do with Transformers?!

The box they come in, I'm guessing?

What parent in their right mind would buy there child something to enhance listening. Most couples I know try to keep their children from hearing anything they do, especially when said children should be in bed.

Why are they pooping the keylinks

I think they look real nice, and I know those rings are going in that jar of random stuff I keep should I get these.

Oh spy toys in one form or another have been around forever!

I use to have a whole bunch of stuff called spytech or something along the lines of that when I was a kid. I use to think I was sooooo badass spying on my brother and sister. Until I got caught and my brother would tie me up and shoot me with a rubber band gun. Good times.... gooooood times.

The keychains are cool but what the hell is the point of the Carabiner Set?

Of course. Why didn't I think of that? It's so obvious! It's like asking why the sky is blue! You can market anything if you slap a brand-name sticker on it!

Okay, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, what's a carabiner?

Are the carabiners supposed to be tiny role play toys or accessories for the bots?

Prime kinda looks cool... but also like he is forcing a massive crap

They are clips that are mainly use for climbing. You connect yourself to a rope with it. In other words a hook with a clasp used to connect things. Most people use them as key holders. They can be found at Home Depot and Wal Mart.

Then what the fudge does that have to do with spying?!

Your lucky, my brothers had duct tape andwhatever they could get their hands on, and they didn't need a reason. I got 4 of them, lots of scars, and plenty of issues!

But you are right, GOOD TIMES

They become spy gear. Like James Bond.

I can see some kid falling down with this in his pocket and it tears his leg off.

So no one knows?

Here are my thoughts on the carabiners: I plan to display the red and yellow ones with Classics Bumblebee. You could pretend that the two devices work together wirelessly, and BB uses them to hack into satellites to do some orbital surveillance, gain information, etc. Used together, BB basically sets up a communications and surveillance field base. Almost nothing could sneak up on BB with these things on active alert.

And if you put the red listening device on wheels, it looks like BB could even tow it behind him instead of his ski trailer. Too bad it doesn't have wheels.

I quite like the look of the keychains. If i remove the chains i think they will look ok sat atop my TV.

Can't see myself picking up the carabiners though. Having said that, i usually find myself picking up any crap with 'Transformers' scrawled across it.

Kids spy toys are incredibly popular. I worked in a museum store that sold them and they sell like sugar-coated hotcakes dipped in chocolate. I'm surprised that every movie doesn't have them in their toy line. If the cost of a money printing lisence is not entirely making sense, then I think that we all know what side we'd come down on.
Besides this crap's been around forever. Who else remembers the Autobot symbol watch that opened when you pushed it's inexplicably blue chin?

-Continued-
I like the key chains. The least I'll have to spend if I like this movie keeps going down and down.
"Key Chains" are just tiny toys for collectors with limited space.

I think they're for us so that we can pretend that we're bots

You get that alot with movie toys, you know, "The Live The Adventure.." stuff. Go to the toy store, you can leave looking just like Captain Jack Sparrow down to the finest detail. They do this all the time.

Between the voice changer, blaster and these, we should all be looking pretty dam silly by the end of summer

I can hardly wait

Alright, so I'm not the only one doing that then.

Wake when it's safe to buy Transformers stuff again.
