Transformers Tuesday: Wheeljack, Sideswipe and Bumblebee

Combiner Wars Wheeljack
Photo-A-Day #4005

I got back to Transformers Tuesday today with an unboxing of a Transformer figure that I bought, Combiner Wars Wheeljack and two that I received as part of my involvement with the #PlayLikeHasbro program. I try and get every version of Wheeljack that is released including this one. This version looks most like the original G1 version of Wheeljack that was released in 1984 except that he is a part of a combiner.

The other two Transformers that I unbox today include a Robots in Disguise figure, Sideswipe and a Playskool Mr. Potato Head Transformers Mixable, Mashable Heroes as Bumblebee Robot. The Sideswipe one is a three-step changer that is incredibly easy to transformer and looks really nice, just like a character from the cartoon. We have a giant Bumblebee like this, too and some other ones from Robots in Disguise. I am really enjoying the cartoon and like the way the figures have been made.

The Bumblebee figure joins our Optimus Prime from the same Playskool line. All things Mr. Potato head is good with me. They did a really nice job making Bumblebee look not only like a Mr. Potato head but also part of the Robot Heroes line.

Want to help build the next Transformer Combiner?

Combiner Wars is the next BIG thing from Transformers. The comic books are starting to get into it and the toy line is slowly creeping out all over the place. I know that I am less than a month away from seeing so many more Transformers down in New York at Toy Fair and I can not wait! I’ll be posting a ton of photos from that trip right after and as it happens. But for now I can tell you about something that is happening right now that you can be a part of. I downloaded the app from the press release below and I placed my votes for a new Transformers Combiner.

HASBRO INVITES TRANSFORMERS FANS TO CREATE MASSIVE TRANSFORMER CHARACTER TO ENLIST IN THE COMBINER WARS

Fans Can Soon Create an All New Transformer in “Fan Built Combiner Poll”

Pawtucket, R.I. (January 26, 2015) —TRANSFOMERS fans around the world are invited to help create a new character for the popular TRANSFORMERS brand — but not just any character. Following on the heels of the 30th anniversary “Fan Built Bot” poll, which led to the fan-assisted creation of the popular AUTOBOT character, WINDBLADE, Hasbro, Inc. (NASDAQ: HAS) is launching the new “Fan Built Combiner” poll. This crowdsourcing project seeks fan input to create a new team of TRANSFORMERS robots that combine into one giant new character in celebration of the theme of the 2015 TRANSFORMERS GENERATIONS line: COMBINER WARS!

Starting today, the official TRANSFORMERS brand app (formerly the official TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION app) will be updated and fans will be able to log-in and answer a round of questions to help shape the identity of the new Combiner characters. The Fan Built Combiner poll will allow fans to determine everything from the types of vehicles involved, to whether the characters will be AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS, and eventually the name of the new character.
