Thanks to TFND Facebook Group we have a very interesting Takara Tomy Bumblebee Movie Toyline Promotional Video with some nice surprises for collectors.
We have images of the upcoming Bumblebee The Movie toys for the Japanese market, including Studio Series toys too:
- Power Charge Bumblebee. Remarking all his gimmicks. Kakoii!
- Autobot Leader Legendary Optimus Prime. We have a brief stop-motion transforming sequence.
- Turbo Changer Series. Takara Tomy 1-step toys. We have: TC-14 Optimus Prime (G1 Style), TC-15 Barricade and TC-16 Bumblebee (VW Beetle).
- Studio Series SS-16 Bumblebee (VW Beetle). With some more cool stop-motion transforming videos, remarking the scale between toys.
From this video all figures look with no differences compared to their Hasbro counterparts, but the Turbo Change line brought some surprises. TC-15 Barricade is just a repaint of The Last Knight Turbo Changer (1-step) TLK-08 Barricade, but TC-14 Optimus Prime and TC-16 Bumblebee seem to be new 1-step molds we haven’t seen yet.
You can check out the video below and some screencaps after the jump!

Whatdafk did I just watch?! It was like watching a really bad Univision promo on roids (speaking as a Latino, and from personal experience, those can induce painful cringing). The announcer sounded coked right outta his mind!
On a side note, that Legendary Optimus Prime is the hotness! Hastak needs to make a Masterpiece version of this yesterday.

Why would they keep the single smokestack on that Prime?

Oh yeah, I knew about Bot Bots, the description of the other reveals was deliberately vaguely 'movie products' and we've had loads of Studio Series reveals already so I kept my expectations low, but surprises will be good. I may still get a day ticket and go on the Sunday to London.

They are not all thats going to be revealed theres some suprises in store.
Some studio series mostly not really gimmick toys the only other thing is bot bots.
Optimistic Prime

I suddenly have a strange feeling that the Turbo Changers will be the movie figures revealed at Paris and London Comic Cons. I hope I'm wrong.

Dang, I was hoping they’d show a little more of that Legendary Optimus Prime. I want to know if there’s anything besides the paint job that actually out-does the Wei Jiang KO. I have no interest in the 1-steps, but that big Bumblebee looks fun.

Barricade is a repaint of TLK Turbo Changer (1-step) TLK-08 Barricade, not sure about the other 2

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but there's a Japanese promo clip for Bumblebee movie toys, including Legendary Optimus Prime and what looks like a couple of new one-steps: VW Bumblebee, who doesn't look bad considering, and an Optimus Prime which uses AOE Galvatron's one step transformation (I never understood why they never made an Evasion Optimus at the time), along with TLK Barricade. Interesting that we've not heard of these yet from Hasbro given that one-steps seem to be the constant in all non-generations lines.
@Nevermore Are there any mystery listings that might be these?
