With special thanks to Hasbro toy distributors in Sri Lanka, we have learned that Bee Vision Mask and the Stinger Blaster will act as possible preview items for Transformers: Bumblebee movie toyline.
The distributors mentioned that preview items for Bumblebee: The Movie will also arrive one month ahead of the Halloween Street Date. The items in question were denoted as Bee Vision Mask and Stinger Blaster; two previously known role play items for the line. This of course follows a recent familiar pattern where The Avengers: Infinity War Hero Vision Mask (same gimmick as the Bee Vision Mask) came as a preview item prior to the main toyline on the following month.
Bee Vision Mask is an Augmented Reality mask which can house a mobile phone (as an internal screen) in order to run the free Bee Vision App for Android and iPhone. The mask will also comes bundled with a glove to be utilized for the AR/VR experiance.
Stinger Blaster is a separate role play weapon which can launch discs in Blaster Mode with a pop-out conversion to continue the action in Stinger Mode. Bee Vision Mask together with the Bee Vision App can identify the Stinger Blaster with a scannable code, to be utilized with the mask’s AR play pattern.
An example demonstration of the Bee Vision Mask can be seen via the demo video of aforementioned Avengers: Infinity War Hero Vision Mask which can be found after the jump.

It's ok, it's me reading when I was tired, I thought it meat they'd be preview items in the way the TLK Optimus helmet was the first item offically revealed at an eventeven ahead of the actual toy line being revealed at NYTF, but reading it now I realise what it means. Duh lol

Just read the article. Why do you think we won't see any Bee movie stuff at SDCC? (not that us seeing it is a given, but it seemed likely to me)

Home they show the rumored/mostly confirmed SS Bonecrusher. Waiting to preorder the 3P one coming up until I've compared. I may get both, but I think I'd be happy with just an SS sized one if it's awesome enough. Otherwise I'll have to make space for yet another large 3P Transformer.

SS ksi sentry
Vw bumblebee
And at least 1 more will probably be at sdcc
As well as energon igniters providing a look a new bee movie characters
As well as cyberverse so no I highly doubt just a single as Voyager or 2 at sdcc.

Was hoping we'd see something movie related at SDCC. Guess just SS Ironhide and (ROTF) Starscream to expect then.

This will work for my phone, so I\'ll possibly get the Transformers version. All of the cheap VR Phone goggles have no space fo my power button, this one does. Thank you hasbro.

Not gonna lie, a tad disappointed that it wasn't a "toy", per se, but I guess the VR is cool with kids of this generation. Not gonna buy any of these products, but I see the appeal.
Now, let's start the Hype BB-Trailer-Toy-train again!
