For those craving the ability to create a bizarre Bumblebee / Dinobot hybrid, you may be interested to know that the Transformers Hero Mashers Bumblebee with Strafe Two Pack has been sighted at US retail. The sighting we are reporting today comes from a Toys R Us in Fort Wayne, Indiana, courtesy of TFW2005 member Rookbartley.

To me, these are Action Masters meets Revoltech meets Rescue Bots meets PVCs meets Construct Bots meets GI Joe.
Note: I'm not really making fun of these, I bought a Starscream.

This line is like Action Masters meets Xevoz, I wasn't too interested in it but seeing Grimlock & Strafe might be enough to get me to buy some, at least those two.

I've seen the electronic Optimus before as well. He looks pretty neat.
Has anybody bought him and Megatron to try and make Guiltar yet?

I'm looking forward to getting into this line. I recently got my first Marvel Super Hero Mashers and I'm loving the bugger.
As in the kind that acts as a bicep swivel going in towards the chest? That piece of articulation is the only one I'm missing when I'm messing with my Marvel Super Hero Mashers Green Goblin.

They should. I have the Starscream, Megatron & Prime and they are all jointed at the elbow. Swivel & bend.

I posted a sighting for this a while back.

They are just naming him that in this set to maintain the name across the toy lines.
I'm sure they could have went with Autobot or Dinobot Swoopfor this if they really wanted to.
He looks very neat the dinobot.

Yep, the electronic Optimus and Grimlock are out. Looks like all the released versions are:
Electronic: Optimus and Grimlock
Mid sized: Bulkhead, Optimus and Megatron
Small sized: Drift, Bumblebee, Springer, Starscream.
Team pack: Bumblebee/Strafe
EMP Starscream
Like a two pack? or Individual packs? Single packs have been I'm certain.

Have Electronic Optimus and Grimlock been sighted yet? Found those in my area.

lol this reminds me of the naming process of sentinel prime from animated
"you sting like a bee…and you're a bumbler….from now on you're bumblebee!!!"

Strafe + Bumblebee = "Stumble".

I'd go for these if they had elbow swivel

I love how hasbro said they called him strafe because he looks to different to be swoop but any swoop toy is now called strafe. Hasbro quit your lying.
EMP Starscream
They called that Strafe? First it was a Techno Bot image…now this? lol

Found this at Toys R Us. I kind of like the Hero Mashers. Fun to mess with and I think they display well.
