    It says it's for not kids but many parents have wanted a soft Transformers toy. Softimus Prime and Slumberbee are 15 years old now! Kids can't read...

    Looks like it was at Coles as well, for $20... but says unavailable, so I can't search to see if any stores still have them.
    They call it a water bottle, but I'm sure it is just a chew toy.

    After a little playing with the website, it will only list stock availability if you have a specific store selected... it doesn't appear to let you look up the product and then do a search for stores (like the woolies site).

    I had a feel of one. The feet contain that plastic squeaky toy part common in squeaky toys. And the torso and head contain some hard plastic box-like object - not sure what that is for. The toy is not really for hugging as there are too many hard bits inside. It says Light Up but I couldn't see how to activate it as there is no external on-off button or a pushable button inside that I could determine. Must be a typo. I guess the Crunch bit is the hard plastic inside.

    Hasbro have really gone into the pet toy market in a big way... and I think it is only new because I don't recall seeing this amount of Hasbro (Nerf and Tonka) pet toys.
    I had always noticed the Disney themed pet toys, so maybe Hasbro found out and figured that they should be competing and dominating that field of "toys".

    I thought it have might been some battery box but I couldn't see or feel a switch. Maybe I'll have another look.

    Anyway it's on special at Woolies $7.20 and Coles $17. At $20 I put it down, but I'd buy it at $7.20.

    I can't imagine there being electronics in a chew toy, that is intended to be destroyed by dogs (it even notes it on the backing card)... so I think it would be too unsafe to have a dog chewing on electrical components that they could swallow, or injure their mouth on.

    Besides, the packaging would need to say what batteries it takes, or note if they are already included.

    I read the thread title and expected to see a licensed Optimus that transforms into a dog, say a German shepherd, and thought i might preorder one.

    Lol Wasn't expecting an Optimus toy for dogs.
