Bumblebee Voice Mixer Helmet: Because Seducing Megan Fox Is Futile Anyway

Mark Wilson — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 15:40:00 EDT

We're a bunch of dorks. You're a bunch of dorks. So screw it. Let's stop trying to constantly impress girls and just pick up some Bumblebee voice-changing masks already.

Much like the Optimus Prime mask demonstrated by our very own Autobot-aspiring Brian Lam, this Bumblebee mask uses the power of three AAs to transform your voice into a modulated mess. The good news, however, is that since it's a mask, few people will know who's wearing the ages five to adult toy. And even fewer people will risk life, limb and general reputation to check.

Transformer-Themed Bearbricks Protect The All Spark, Steal Food From Campers

Considering that we love Transformers and toys, it's no surprise that we're drooling over these Transformer-themed Bearbricks. The foursome of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee and Barricade were spotted at this year's Wonder Festival in Tokyo. The specialty toys from Japan come in various themes and colors, and this batch is to commemorate the Transformers Movie. They will be sold in packs of two, with the choice of Optimus Prime/Megatron or Bumblebee/Barricade. Sadly, these are Japan only, selling for 1,890 Yen. [ToysREvil via Hype Beast]

Will It Blend? Transformers Edition

Charlie White — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 14:11:05 EDT

In another obvious ploy for publicity, page views and notoriety, the Blendtec Corporation this time puts the Transformers to the test in its (figuratively) fire-breathing and (literally) nail-chewing blender. What will happen? Will Bumblebee suddenly transform into the formidable beast he really is, fighting his way out of that spinning cauldron of certain death? What about that car? Will it blend?

Transformers Beatmix Bumblebee Remixes Your Music, Dances Too

Plug Beatmix Bumblebee into your MP3 player and he'll dance to his own mix of your music library, adding beats and sound clips from the movie, for as long as his four AA batteries last. Since he plugs into portables, you'll be able to take him everywhere. Transformers get-togethers. Work. Put an upside down hat next to him on street corners. As a Transformer, though, it looks like poor BM Bumblebee is forever locked in robot mode.

Don't blame us if he's a terrible DJ. Or if he dances off a table. It's your $60. But the marketing pitch is worth a chuckle:

Prime always told him there'd be days like this, but thankfully, this is a fun day because Bumblebee is dancing! Beatmix Bumblebee captures the personality of this big screen hero and allows you to morph your music into more than meets the ear with a beat builder and movie sound effects. Don't box him in—let him free and let him dance!

What kind of days, Prime? "Dancing Days?" Who knew the leader of the Autobots was a Led-head.
