Thanks to the Ozformers Facebook Member, Griffin, and a tip off from Seibertron Admin, Burn we have confirmed sighting of the Energon Igniter's line hitting store shelves! This follows on from the Transformers: Bumblebee Movie Titan Changers line being available to order from Walmart.Ca. As you can see from the photo's it is only the Energon Igniter's that were found so far. However it does seem that these toys have begun to trickle out, and will pick up pace in the coming months, leading to the film's release in December.
These were found at a Toymate in Robina, Queensland.
Will you be picking these up when you find them? Let us know i the comments and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

What makes you say that?
I wonder how well this line will do? Despite the collectors problems with the simplicity of the line, kids have no such objecions.
Previous bad experiences dealing with similar situations.

Would they happen to be with K-Mart?

Youuuu betcha! I still sometimes have nightmares. It's really neither here nor there since being in the US I can't order from Walmart Canada.

Shatter looks nice, though, particularly for a "budget" figure.
Prime is using the Evasion Mode body in the movie. As Evidenced by the Legion toy, and the takara Leader Class Prime.

Both of these figures were first seen before and during San Diego Comic Con 2018, as you find in our galleries on the site here, and include the two major gimmicks of the next movie line toys for a younger audience: Power Charge Bumblebee and the lights, effects and motion DJ Bumblebee! Check them out below, and let us know what you think of the teasers, as we gear up for some more news this coming weekend.

I wouldn't be too sure as Prime is rumoured to appear on Cybertron. If you go by toys then that would mean Barricade and Tank megs would be in the film which he isn't as tank megs only appeared in Revenge of the Fallen.

I genuinely want that thing.

Agreed. It looks really killer

I would find it extremely strange if 2 different and entirely unrelated toys featuring the same body for the same movie would be toy only items.
There's also the question of whether Takara would actually release the Evasion Mode Leader Prime under the Bumblebee movie line if he was not actually in the movie like that. Why? It would just be confusing of that is the case.

BB-02 Legendary Optimus Prime is a complete new mold based on the Age of Extinction Voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, with several new features, colors and parts, including some chrome. Currently listed at 6800 Yen ($61.24 at the time of writing), for a Japan release of October 2018 with still no official channel for a release outside of that market. Check out the turnaround images mirrored below, and join the discussion on Seibertron.com!

I will pre-order it on amazon japan when it goes up because i don't want to be stuck with my only option being e-bay for 200$ next year

It all depend on your want level. If you WANT it, you better pre-order it. Better safe than sorry.
But my want level for what is basically more of the same (IMO) is rock-bottom. That's why I'm more likely to pass if it's indeed just a Takara exclusive.

Might be a better fit within the normal bumblebee movie toyline. He does look like a fun toy but I'm happy enough to sit this one out.

Yeah. Hm, dunno why i typed 'reecored'. I think I meant recoloured or redecoed and got some nonsensical mixture.

AmiAmi stealthily put their pre-order up without it going on the front page and it's already sold out. I really want this, but October is already pretty expensive thanks to MP Cordon and a few other non-transformers stuff.

Soundwave comes from a listing from sponsor Robot Kingdom and Japanese website Red Mercury. The Bumblebee Cassette Pack also comes from Red Mercury. The Robot Kingdom listing gives us a date of September 28th so we should not expect to see these items before then at Target, the exclusive retailer in the US.
Soundwave:
Robot Kingdom: http://www.robotkingdom.com/e2049h061.html
Red Mercury: http://www.redmercury.co.jp/?pid=134711275#
Bumblebee Cassette Pack:
http://www.redmercury.co.jp/?pid=134711124
While these stock photo's are a bit blurry, they show us off their box and the figure, but Soundwave's base mode cannot be seen from these photos. It also for some reason shows the base connectors separate from the actual figure, despite them being permanently attached.
So what do you think? Let us know in the Pub forums below!

Thanks for the link. It's not working for me either but that can change any minute

I can't wait for Rumble to get his buddy to hang out with.
Posted by noctorro on September 3rd, 2018 @ 12:47am CDT
I've been waiting for him to be made, but they didn't in Titans Return. But now I finally get my Rumble!
The classics was okay but had a lot of kibble. This Titans Return mold is perfect and very simple.

We did.
Posted by Munkky on September 3rd, 2018 @ 11:51am CDT
Didn't see that coming! I'll try to get this set mainly for Frenzy Rumble the blue one, but because I missed out on Combiner Wars Buzzsaw I'll happily add him and Howlback to my Decepticon shelf as well. My nephew will probably enjoy the one-step Bumblebee, so he can have that.

I'd repurpose the CW version since the gold on this one is more accurate to the original toy than the yellow.
But I don't have the original so this is going to be my Buzzsaw.
I also don't have Rumble yet thanks to only seeing him once in stores and Takara Tomy never releasing him. I need to grab an over priced one online before the price gets too out of hand.

I think Will was aiming more for what head is used: Stripes's (actually Steeljaw's) or Ravage's. I'm pleased to say, the latter is used:

I just checked, and it looks like that Optimus figure is available to be shipped to the US now. Shipping is hefty though, and for me, it comes out to 8,376 Yen total, or about $80. Not sure I want to drop that much.

Just to be sure, you're aware he's been heavily retooled to be more of a boombox, not just repainted, right?
