Well it looks official folks. BT-09 is going to be a Mini as shown on bigbadtoystore.com's website! :D So whatcha think? Bumblebee?? You know you want one :mwahaha

That going to be sweet. But did you see the pics for Energon Superior and Bruticus!!! :eek

Those Energon combiners looks sweet. Well proportioned and articulated, and excellent molds for each individual robot, these guys will rule!

 

If I had to nitpick, the combiners don't have real hands.

 

Hopefully this BT-09 is the real deal (remember BT-09 Wheeljack?), but not exactly what it looks like. The bland head and using seats for his legs doesn't impress me, hopefully some of it will change to make the Mini's robot mode resemble familiar G1 characters.

Looks alot like the robot in the hoax campaigne Mini Cooper put out. You know, the one that claims one of their engineers actually created a real life robot out of spare mini cooper parts. BBTS may have been duped AGAIN.

Okay -- that picture of the robot mode is NOT what it will look like. That's an existing, unrelated thing.

 

HOWEVER, having said that:

 

BUMBLEBEE!!!!!!!

 

CLIFFJUMPER!!!!!!!!

 

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thank you, whoever got BMW to do this. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

Energon combiners is cool too. Though honestly, I am still pining for the Stunticons. There's already five bajillion versions of G1 Bruticus out there, and all we have for Menasor is KOs and eBay.

 

P.S. BTW if BBTS is wrong about this again I'm going to be very very very sad.

BigBadToyStore comes though again with confirmation the next BT figure release. Its not truly surprising news that the BT-09 figure will be a black Mini Cooper. Those Mini Cooper guys are pretty sly sneaking a video onto thier web site without telling us. This one is for all the Transformers fans in the UK. Its about time!

This has been on their web site for a while (MINI, that is). This is not what the Alternator will look like.

:pfx

 

Just this morning, driving to my work, I saw two mini coopers. One red and one bright (sickening) yellow. Perfect for Cliffjumper and Bumblebee (Bumblebee also made me pretty sick).

Even assuming for a minute this is true ("Wheeljack" anyone?) - where's the remolded Hound with a bull bar (which we saw already prototypes of, plus the "Swindle" listing from a few months back)? Where's the Ford Mustang (Ford were listed among the companies which participated in the Alternators line at ToyFair, and Hasbro China repeatedly associated a pic of a real Mustang with the Alternators line, plus we have the odd "Freeway" listing)? Where's the Dodge Neon?
