RID Super-size Bumblebee & Titans photos and video

[griffin]

In the last couple of weeks there have been a number of gimmick toys for Robots in Disguise being released, and there are now photos and videos of them online.
- Super Sized Bumblebee
- Converting Titans Optimus Prime & Bumblebee
- Electronic Titans Optimus Prime & Bumblebee
- Regular 12 inch Titan Sideswipe

The really BIG Bumblebee toy that is labelled as Super Titan on the Game app, or Super 3-step on the packaging... It comes with sound effects in both modes, which can be seen/heard on this youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTXH7-JKxb0).
There are about 10 different sounds in Robot mode and about 5 different sounds in car mode, and when you stop, it will do one last sound a few seconds later to remind you that the toy is still there to play with.

While the Electronic 12 inch Titans sound effects can be seen/heard on this youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdmSHkRKw-M).
Both only have one speaking line (of their own name, which they say first), and the rest are randomly played battle sounds. You can't get it to say its name again until after it "powers down", which is after you stop, and it makes two more sounds on its own.

Bumblebee has a blue spear, Optimus has an orange sword.

My opinion on Super Bumblebee is the same as my opinion of DoTM/AoE Leader Class Bumblebee. I think the mould is ok, and if I get it (probably on sale) I would keep it as more of a collection piece then a standard toy. IE I wouldn't display it in my BB Shrine

[UltimateGalvatron]

Also the 'converting titan' crappy thingies look like poorly painted KOs :eek:

[Megatran]

Sheesh those Titan Optimus' are horrid looking. They are up there with that non-converting Silver Knight Optimus. There are limits to my collection of Optimus Primes.

Muchly appreciated. :D

Not a big fan of the titans. I was hoping the gimmick of being able to transform would sway me, but as Megatran says ... there are limits to my collection of Optimus Prime.
However I do like the 2 modes of the super sized Bumblebee (as long as you don't look at his robot mode from the back) so this gives me hope the super sized Optimus will look better as he's the one I want to add to my collection I think. What is the super sized Bee like in size comparison to Rescue Bots large Optimus... anyone know? I'm wondering if they measure up at the same height.

I can take a photo of the two (later), but the Bumblebee is 50cm and the Optimus is 55cm.
Since Bumblebee doesn't extend its legs at all, that could have given it another 5cm.

I forgot to mention, Bumblebee was HK$500, which is about AU$85... so if we get it here, it could be about $100. (compared to $48 for Optimus, which was non-converting and no electronics)

That's a great pic ... I hope they add those extra few cm's to the RID super sized Optimus to put him on par with Rescue Bots Optimus and make him slightly taller than Bee. Having said that it probably won't stop me getting him. I'm a sucker for these larger toys.

I will be getting the 'Mega' Optimus Prime anyway as he is in 'Galaxy Force' colours, and the Unicron Trilogy is my favourite Transformers continuity, also I think that he will be smaller then SUper BB :(

Cool pic - but even with it being half price I couldn't bring myself to buy the huge RB Optimus and considering the price of Bee I think I'll be skipping him too

I would get him as well, but only to with "The Real" Robots In Disguise Optimius Prime

EDIT: OK no not that one, I meant super Optimus, the currently Takara exclusive.

[Handsprime]

In alls fairness I hate the look of those transforming titans, looks like stuff I can get at the $2 shop. The super bumblebee is alright, I know it's aimed at kids, but sometimes I wish they did a bit more work on them. I mean if I were a kid and had one of those snd it had a bit more articulation, I would be playing with bumblebee for a very long time.

Yes, the Mega sized 1-step Optimus (middle shelf) is about half the size of the Super sized 3-step Bumblebee (top shelf).
