Join The Buzz, Amigos! Lucky Mexican fans could take part on the special Bumblebee Movie Toys Presentation Event In Mexico.

This event was held in Monterrey and it had a nice and original display of the Bumblebee movie toys. Some toys were inside a tire, and we could see some cool shelves decorated with Bumblebee banners. Fans could see the Energon Igniters line, the Bumblebee helmets, DJ Bumbleebee and Titan Changer Shatter. Assistants could participate in some games and receive poster as souvenirs. But, this event could no be complete without a real  classic yellow VW Beetle.

Similar events were held for the promotional campaign of The Last Knight. These presentations moved from one city to another every week, so we hope other cities in Mexico could participate, too.

You can check the images after the jump, courtesy of several Mexican Instagram users, and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards.

We’ve got news for fans in Central and Eastern Europe who want to check out the newest installment of the Transformers franchise. Transformers Cyberverse premieres in Central and Eastern Europe at 8:30am on Saturday October 27th on Cartoon Network. By all accounts, the shows is taking over the timeslot from Robots in Disguise – so there is a sort of “passing of the torch” from the previous Transformers show and the newest one.

This news comes to you care of RegularCapital.

Transformers Prime Wars Trilogy Punch / Counterpunch has become a sensation among fans who waited for year for an updated version of the Autobot double-agent.

Fans noticed that the shoulders proved to be not so easy to lock, and our very own 2005 Boards member IronMagnus shared a very easy-to-do fix for the shoulders, so they can lock properly. Here your are his comments about it:

I took the arm/shoulders off of the ball joints, then I pried apart the blue body piece from the yellow body piece until I could remove the blue connector arms. I flipped them over and reinstalled them (on the same side) so that the flat side is now on the top and the rounded side on the bottom.

The arms fit SO much better in alt mode now because the shoulders lock into the upper position.

This fix requires no tools at all, just a little force to carefully pull the body sections apart.

There you are guys, pretty easy to do. For those who would like a visual help to do this, Twitter @ME_Counterpunch has tweeted a 2-minute video tutorial for this fix. You can check it after the jump, and then join to the ongoing discussion on the 2005 Boards.

The have great stock images of Soundwave & Doombox (priced £54.99 or $71.90).This is a more G1-accurate redeco of Titans Return Leader Class Soundwave, with his Titan Master now renamed as Doombox. There even a short 360-view video of the toy that you can watch it here.

To top it all, we have proper stock images of the Music FX Bumblebee (priced £20.99 or $27.44). A nice Titan Changer Bumblee that can transform in 2 steps and plays car sounds in Chevy Camaro mode, robot sounds in robot mode, and music sounds in both modes.

It’s great to know UK fans will also have the opportunity to grab these toys locally.
