When Nerf Nitro came along last year, we speculated that it was only a matter of time before our beloved Transformers franchise cross path with it; very much like all other Transformers Nerf guns such as Optimus Prime Energon Blaster or Bumblebee RV-10 Nerf Blaster. It had the perfect setting: Nerf guns to “shoot” foam cars to race them, do battle or perform stunts. How could it not get a Transformers edition? It was basically an advanced version of Bot Shots.
Well, the wait is over! We now have our first look at Nerf Nitro Transformers: Bumblebee Speedblast. Featuring Evergreen designs of Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Barricade foam body cars, the set includes 3 stunt pieces (a Groundbridge, a ramp and a Decepticon barrier) in addition to a standard LongShot Nerf Nitro Blaster with a Bumblebee inspired deco.
Product Description:
Blast into overdrive with this Nerf Nitro set that features Transformers Bumblebee character deco! Design daring stunts for the Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Barricade foam body cars. Blast the cars up the ground bridge and through the barrier! The Nerf Nitro blaster launches the cars with the power and performance of the Nerf brand. To blast a car, place the blaster on the floor, pull the handle back to prime it, load a car into the blaster, and pull the trigger. The combination of the Nerf Nitro blasting and Transformers characters launches kids into lots of stunt action and storytelling adventures. Includes blaster, 3 foam body cars and 2 stunts.

Definitely! I still think I’d add some articulated Bandai tamashii effect flame noodles emerging from the portal to crackle with portent.
Also, instead of a whole figure, have some 1P or 3P accessory half way emerge through the portal. Whether that’s a sword from a stone or a special, highly explosive delivery that everyone is fleeing from is up to our creativity! ^.^
IronMagnus
I could even have a figure like, half-way sticking through it as if it were emerging from another dimension.
IronMagnus
Haha, I mean jesus… that's the closest thing I've seen yet. Anyone want the rest of the set but not the big portal?
GrimLocke
Paging @IronMagnus, gotcha a 1P Void Gate ova here!

I was just thinking that myself. Might have to pick one up just for that.

Trust me, those launchers are real easy to cheat. You can basically fire it at whatever you want.
j.a.f.o.
So the launcher is basically a “gun” that you can only point in one very specific direction.
I dunno, I could see that becoming old really fast.

The Groundbridge piece is actually quite nice for a display with other figures. Might keep an eye on this.

Neat.
Hopefully we get to see Evergreen Cliff's robot mode at some point.
