The Transformers Cyberverse Ultra Class Bumblebee converts from robot to vehicle mode in seven steps, and features Bumblebee’s Hive Swarm Action Attack move. The Transformers Cyberverse Warrior Class Optimus Prime transforms from vehicle to robot mode in eight steps, and features Optimus Prime’s Energon Axe Action Attack move. The figures are designed for kids ages 6 and up.
PLAYMONSTER PlayMonster expands its Automoblox line with a selection of new mini vehicles. The vehicles feature bodies made of European beechwood, and include multiple interchangeable components, including tires and wheels. Automoblox is designed for kids ages 4 and up, and features mix-and-match parts, with no tools required. Several new cars join the mini line, all with new sleek designs and colors. Some, such as the HR5 Scorch, will feature the first darker stained wood in the collection. Also debuting is the pick-up truck Grizzly, the X10 Timber Pack featuring an SUV with a trailer, and the first-ever Automoblox motorcycle. The BR100 Hercules 16.5-inch hauler comes with two back ends and two mini vehicles. It has room to hold and haul up to five mini vehicles, and features an adjustable ramp.
