Bumblebee trailer (even newer one)

It's extremely hard to not get excited for this movie.

Energon Igniters Power Series (wave 1)

The Energon Igniters toy line from the Bumblebee movie created a new size class called the Power Series. These are relatively simple figures with a lot of charm. If you're confused about them, don't worry, I was too at first. News sites didn't give the Energon Igniters the best coverage information initially and I thought these were a renamed version of Scouts. If you were to look at them in stores, you'd think they were Turbo Changers at first glance as they have the same style packaging. Once you get past the initial confusion, there's a fun little series of figures to be found.

They're coming for the belts

Earlier today news of the new Decepticons to be featured in the upcoming Bumblebee movie hit the internet running (like in the pic) leading to a bunch of talk about these cool looking new characters. Shatter (the red one) and Dropkick (the blue one) sound like a bad ass 80's wrestling tag team that tore up the territory in the NWA. I really dig Shatter's skull like face and hope they are as cool as characters as they are in looks. The director is promising a smaller cast to have a more character driven story, which I'm really looking forward to.
