Deluxe Soundwave and Bumblebee Packaging, auction and bios March 8th, 2009

Via TFW2005 and eBay we have more images of the Bum­ble­bee and Sound­wave toy pack­ag­ing, this time giv­ing us their char­ac­ter descrip­tions, and another oppor­tu­nity to pur­chase the toys. It also reveals that Soundwave’s pro­jec­tile is the Decep­ti­con Ravage.

Sound­wave

eBay Auc­tion

Sta­tioned in orbit above Earth, Sound­wave swiftly taps into every satel­lite in range. Within min­utes, com­mu­ni­ca­tions, data traf­fic, weather infor­ma­tion, and high-resolution spy pho­tog­ra­phy flood his sen­sor net. The spill of data fills him with plea­sure, and one by one, the humans’ sys­tems come under his com­plete con­trol. From his seat on high, he is in a posi­tion to con­trol the des­tiny of mankind with­out their knowledge…or to run their civ­i­liza­tion into the ground.

The pack­ag­ing also reveals that the pro­jec­tile that Sound­wave can launch is in fact Rav­age! Note the text above the bot­tom right configuration:

Bum­ble­bee

eBay Auc­tion

Hav­ing cho­sen to stay with Sam after the end of the bat­tle for the AllSpark, Bum­ble­bee made arrange­ments to stay close to hm at all times. It’s been a pretty good deal. He gets reg­u­lar detail­ing, and as much high-grade fuel as he needs. Plus, he gets to spend time with Sam and Mikaela. His vocal proces­sors still aren’t fully up to snuff, but he and his friends com­mu­ni­cate just fine. IF he ever misses the action of bat­tle, he can always give Iron­hide a call and go Decep­ti­con hunting.

Wheelie toy video review March 7th, 2009

After TF08 released images of Wheelie’s robot and alt mode in toy form, there is now a video review of the blue RC truck. It illus­trates the size of the toy and the trans­for­ma­tion from alt mode to robot mode. It’s head comes out from the rear of the truck whilst the wheels split open to reveal the spindly limbs and claws, the cabin opens up to reveal the auto­bot logo. After pos­ing the crea­ture is returned to his truck like state, (to the tune of the Trans­form­ers score).

Optimus Prime leader class video review March 6th, 2009

Peaugh has pro­vided another toy video review, this time its for the Revenge of the Fallen Opti­mus Prime leader class model. The review points out all the small details of the toy, from the auto­bot logo on the hood to the full trans­for­ma­tion into robot mode — the video is a good 13 minutes.

There is also a short update to the orig­i­nal review that high­lights the noises the truck makes, the but­ton was tucked away out of sight on the grey bat­tery panel. The review also explores the idea of a Jetfire/Optimus Prime merger, as sug­gested by the key chains and Leg­ends toys — there is one con­nec­tion at the rear that doesn’t have an obvi­ous pur­pose and Prime’s hands sug­gest he could hold Jetfire’s weapon eas­ily, but other than that there are no other indi­ca­tions of a pos­si­ble Jet­fire connection.

Deluxe Wheelie toy in robot mode March 3rd, 2009

TF08 have posted some more image of their unpacked Wheelie toy, show­ing the fully trans­formed robot mode, close up details of his limbs and every­thing else — right down to the Decep­ti­con and Auto­bot logos on his chest and back.

His robot design looks very sim­i­lar to Frenzy’s, with spindly arms, legs and claws for qui­etly creep­ing around.

Leader class Megatron toy video review March 1st, 2009

An indepth look at Megatron’s trans­for­ma­tion from Tank into robot,

I am Megatron!

Mean­while TFW2005 have posted a gallery of shots com­par­ing the first movie’s Mega­tron with the updated design, the toy appears to be far supe­rior. View full gallery.
