Transformers Movie Optimus Prime and Megatron will apparently be getting the Bearbrick treatment in the coming months! From toysrevil's blog, it's reported that they will be a WonderFest 2007 2-piece set slated for release on August 12th. Price for the set will be ¥1,890 (around $20 US).

third, you're right!.
fourth, i just don't see how these will sell, i mean, that they should be more detailed, since they are supposet to be movie-specific, but megs lacks in everything, except the Decepticon-Symbol.

At night they come alive and steal your DNA.

Not a Bearbrick collector, so these aren't for me.
Even so, I think the decos they chose on the OP and Megs Bearbricks are … I don't know … lacking?
They could've been better. I'm thinking of applying to the bear face a painted "face" more reminiscent (sp?) of the characters they're representing.

First, these are not toys. Secondly, they were obviously not made for you.

I like. I may get a set.
BetaSword
If you ask me, these 2 Toys are looking absolutely lame.
As i see it, you have to be the Overlord of the lamers, to pay money for these.
Only way for me to get this, is if they were making these as a giveaway at the theatres and even then, I would be giving these away to a kid.
I would rather buy several Legend-Toys of the same Figure, than this.

Looks like lego can file another lawsuit

It's cute and all, but not for me.
And I think it bares remembering that not everything TF related is for the dedicated TF fan. Just because you dont like them doesnt mean it's not worth making.

Speaking as a grown man with cupboards full of toys gathering dust:
Why?????
Why are these made and bought?
Is it a cruel Decepticon infiltration trick?!

I like megatron!! he's very shiney
avc-prime
wow they just painted megs silver and slapped a decepticon symbol on him. LOL

I think somebody else said it, but I can't be bothered to find it and quote it: they're more for bearbrick fans who maybe wanted something TF themed rather than TF fans (or even robot fans in general). This board (for the most part) just isn't the crowd for them.
Night Flame
Yes, three people out of dozens on a board of dedicated Transformers geeks are interested in this product. It's obviously a smashing success!

These are just like….two of the stupidest things I have ever seen.
I didn't think it was possible for me to ever find something as..pointless and..stupid as this. I mean..I can't even begin to try to possibly, maybe see the appeal of these.

Let me think about it…mmmm no.
Lord Megatron
My friend thinks they're cute.
Never heard of these things before, though.
Freyabeads
I do too. Prime is a cutie.
omg! She would. Now you can get her hooked. lol

I do not see these as being for TF fans as much as they are for fans of the Bearkbricks. Frankly the designs are just lacking to me. I mean Megatron has nothing going for him at all. With such complex movie designs I think they could have done something more interesting.

Dude, relax. No smugness intended here. If anything, I thought your post came off a bit that way, though.

Considering there have already been people expressing interest here, I'd say the market exists.
