And we all know that Christmas is coming, and it’s time to think of some Transformers decorations for your Christmas tree. 2005 Boards member Mako Crab is giving is the heads up that a New Hallmark G1 Megatron Christmas Ornament has been found at US Retail.
This G1 Megatron ornament is designed after his cartoon incarnation, different from the old G1 Megatron toy ornament we had seen some years ago. This nice Christmas tree ornament was found at Fred Meyer in Salem, Oregon together with the G1 Bumblebee toy ornament announced before.
Additionally, 2005 Boards member engledogg found at Walmart repacks of the Bumblebee movie and G1 Optimus Prime ornaments available last year.
Ready for a Transformers themed Christmas tree? Let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Was watching a TF news podcast on YouTube on a channel called the Tiderium Hanger, & noticed a very familiar looking pic in his video!

Does this mean my hand is famous now?!

If anyone finds the Megatron in a store other than Fred Meyer, let us know. I’ve struck out everywhere so far.

The new Dollar Tree keychains would make for excellent ornaments too, with an easy hook swap.

Oh nice, I thought that the Bee ornament was the on based on the toy. I have to check if this one is new.
Mako Crab

Appears to be better painted than Optimus and Bumblebee were.

That's a lottttt of face on Megs there.
On Cybertron, do little bots play with action figures of Judas Iscariot and make holiday ornaments of him?
Mako Crab
No prob! It was in Salem, Oregon at a Fred Meyer.

If any of y'all reading this are in Michigan, they had a ton of the Optimus and Bumblee at Bronner's Christmas Store up in Frankenmuth.
Black Convoy
In what city/sate did you find this one? Thanks!
Black Convoy
That was announced some months ago, but we haven't had any in-store images yet.

Didn't know there was an Optimus ornament. The only one I was able to find at my local Wally was Bumblebee.
Mako Crab
He was there too. I just didn’t take a pic cuz … Bumblebee. But he was definitely modeled after the G1 cartoon & not the toy like the other Hallmark ornament. I didn’t look at the price, but based on other Hallmark ornaments, he’s probably $10-$15.
lol this is why I’m not on the news staff.

That's definitely new. How much was it?
Come to think of it, there was a G1 Bumblebee released last year, as well. I never found that one, so it would be nice if they reissued him, too.

Here’s another one I saw last night in a Fred Meyer.

Yep, the less-than-stellar paint jobs definitely seem to have carried over to this year's releases, as well (especially poor Bumblebee).
