Back in 2020, Hasbro outsourced the engineering and development of its Koosh brand to Playmonster.
Today we received news that the Transformers brand is inducted into the Koosh Balls under their Cameos line.
For the moment, we have Evergreen Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, but it is likely that we will see more in the future.
Buyers can play with Koosh Balls like Yo-Yos or use them for decorating their Christmas tree or use them as a wrecking-ball accessory for ROTF Devastator.
You can check out the images, after the jump.

When the hell did Prime become a Dark Archon? You've got the touch! You've got the POWER OVERWHELMING!!!!

HOLY SMOKES!! I forgot all about those things until right now. Sister had a normal koosh ball and I do remember wanting one but I can't remember why I never did. Ah crap am I really going to fulfill my childhood desire now with a Prime Koosh?

Why throw away your life so recklessly?

Buy three. If you ever find yourself out of toilet paper, use these as you would three seashells.

Not the reveal we need. But the one we deserve.

Haha, sure thing! Yeah, the memory took me by surprise too!
Hadn’t thought about those things in forever.

Wow talk about a lost memory. I had the purple one on the left! Haven't accessed that memory for ages. Thank-you for that. As soon as I remembered, I remembered exactly how they felt in my hand and everything.
And yeah I have to get this for the same reason now. Darn you, HasTakoosh.

I know the chance of this happening is slim to none, but these would make more sense if they were updates of the Narlies from GoBots: Battle of the Rock Lords.

Damn that’s a brand name I haven’t heard in many a year

They really are getting desperate aren't they and just putting the logo on everything and just seeing what sticks.
Now, bring back the Transforming plushes and we got a deal.

Oh man, these brought back a sense memory of a toy I forgot existed: Koosh Kins. I had at least three or four of these things as a kid and I hate to admit it, but I, uh… kind of loved them?
Now I feel sort of contractually obligated to pick up the Transformers ones.

Who asked for these?
SilverOptimus
… and that's the comment I knew would happen. Bravo.

And the story I heard about their creation was that a mom made them for her child who was afraid of balls… that sounds wrong.
