The Long Lasting Popularity Of Transformers Action Figures

The popularity of Michael Bays Transformers and Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen films, which opened in 2007 and 2009, have spawned a totally new line of Hasbro childrens products and collectibles. In addition to the big selection of Transformers action figures, children can now enjoy their favorite characters from both films and some newcomers to the tale too.

The New Guys

Needless to say, traditional replicas of Optimus Prime, the leader of the Autobot Transformers, will always be amid Hasbros best selling Transformers toys. His nemesis Megatron, however, has an equal recognition amongst kids who want to play the bad guy every once in awhile. Furthermore, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen unveiled a few completely new robots into the Transformers universe, the Voyagers.

The bad Decepticons now contain personalities like Grindor, an attack helicopter similar to the U.S. Armys Apache, just with a serious bad attitude. Demolisher and Scavenger smash every thing in their paths on the big screen, and the action figure's 2 big wheels do the same to Autobot toys for kids with a destructive, yet safe creativeness.

Probably, the most well known villain from Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is the Fallen himself. With the six-piece super-robot, Devastator, both of these toys can provide several hours of play for little kids who want to reenact their most loved action scenes from the Michael Bay movies.

The Old Dogs With New Tricks

While the brand new characters might be the coolest looking transformers, you can't defeat the old dogs like Optimus Prime and Megatron. Devotees of the 1980s Transformers TV show will speculate what happened to Megatrons arm cannon. The latest version of the super villain comes with a retracting sword as a substitute as does the new Optimus Prime, which is sold with two flip-out swords instead of one.

Bumblebee was continually a popular character in the animation series, though the live-action film places a new spin of this fun, lovable Transformer. Not only does Bumblebee guard Sam, the movies teen hero, the Transformer can change into a sleek, fast reproduction of Chevys newest Camaro model. In Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, Bumblebees design and lure reflect the heart and soul of the Camaro, and the bright yellow Bumblebee action figure holds the same appeal for kids who wish to play the good guy.
