The hunt is on! 2005 Board member Optimus Prowl has reported finding a new Transformers Prime Role Play item at his local Toys R Us. This time around, it’s the Bumblebee Ion Blaster! The Ion Blaster transformers from cannon into a blaster! Weapons in disguise!

Well this TOTALLY makes up for the lack of Prime figures in the States lol

That same gun these always use.

No, it's not. Not according to the box art, anyway.

Black stripe on the new gun is different, blue highlights found on the 2007 Movie not found on the Prime version, the big flat-head-screw looking thing is silver on the old version, and blue on the new, among other differences.
Definitely a recolor, but not a straight-up repack.

Toy's history kinda makes the FIRST EDITION mark on the box a big ol' WTF.

WHAT? This is just a straight repackaging of the Bumblebee plasma cannon from the 2007 movie.

I hope this means we can get that overdue restock of LE Voyagers and wave 1.5.

I never picked this up with the first movie line, but I might this time around. It seems to fit better with the Prime line anyways. PEW PEW!

Pretty cool for thous who like the role play stuff. But man.. I really hope the voyagers, entertainment pack, and cliffjumper show up in the US before the main RID line release. This drought is absolutely killing me.

Agreed…looks new! And may represent just about the only new thing the states has seen in weeks. Grumble, grumble…US gets shafted while Canada and UK get new stuff….grumble, mumble…
