Earlier this month, we announced that Phidal Publishing will officially welcome Transformers to its highly successful My Busy Book series. Now it’s time to take a look at the book itself and the associated figures.
An engaging storybook and toy in one activity kit! My Busy Books offer full-page illustrations, a story, 12 figurines, and a playmat that bring the characters to life and ignite your child’s imagination. 3 years and up.
Figurine List is as follows (Robot Mode & Vehicle Mode):
- Optimus Prime
- Bumblebee
- Hot Rod
- Megatron
- Starscream
- Soundwave
It is worth noting that the promotional images used on Hauck Transformers Go-Karts have originated from the illustrations on Transformers My Busy Book. With a couple of licensed products utilizing the exact same designs, it is unsure whether these G1 inspired looks are just for merchandising purposes or for a possible future media usage.
Check out the product images, after the jump.

Where can I get one of these just for the bot figs?

G1 stylin' with a little movie thrown in… especially for Bee… but that looks good on him, better than a VW.
Prime's got this pelvic twist & thrust thing going on… maybe he's doing crunches while he waits to transform.
In all seriousness, I'm lovin' what I'm seeing here…. continue……………. give us more……

\"Alt mode- Yellow car.\" How descriptive.
Easy Tiger
I'll echo the general sentiment here, the designs look very tidy.
But… WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEIR WAISTS?
That's some serious Pat Lee style anatomy going on there…

These are rad! But I'm not sure why ppl are looking at Bees design like it's not already from IDW. These seem tp be IDW designs. Love em

Which Minifigure Inch?

I think they meant that they could see how it COULD transform, looking at the designs of both the robot and vehicle toys in this box. It's like how sine 3P companies just look at comic art and reverse engineer an actual toy by ripping off Guido Guidi's and Alex Milne's designs…
JackHunter
Transformation? I don't see any of these would be transformable…
It's 6 bots and 6 vehicles, and I even doubt if they're articulated tbh.
Mako Crab
Op & Bee kinda have a feminine vibe about them. I'd lol if this were the new show but they were all voiced by women.
Autoboty
I like Soundwave's new vehicle mode. Make a Generations toy with that design + Deployers, and insta-buy is served.
Dinobot Snarl
Observations:
– Bees Transformation is appearent
– Optimus not so much
– Megatron either, also… Megatron\'s tank Cannon is not his bot modes cannon

I don't know if that's how their marketing department reckoned it, but I could easily be convinced that's the case.

Basically, it's designed to milk both little kids and adult collectors?
Tresob
Or even RiD.
It sort of reminds me of that weird pop up book that had a kind of hybrid aesthetic.
Cosbydaf
Oh my goodness! If we get a toyline of this asthetic, I'll be all over it. That's exactly what I wanted.
johnbonhamatron
Ooh, that's Kei Zama's Prime design from the comics (the new one that I fecking adore)! Nice!
Chaos Muffin
Wonder how they scale next to the old PVC figs?
They look about an inch shorter.
Spontificus
Those models look cool. Kind of reminds me of those diecast models and Hot Wheels sized cars that were announced. Did those ever come out anywhere?
Tenion the Offender
The colours and the style of drawing reminds me of Rescue Bots.
Terradives
I'd be behind a line with this aesthetic.
