The release includes the official logo of MircoScalextric Transformers, an image of the track layout as well as two videos showing the Transformation of the toys
Transformers
Robots in the Cars!
The Transformers MicroScalextric set first came into the public eye at the British Toy and Hobby fair in January 2007 even though it was not officially shown at the event. Since then little information has become available, until now!
Here's a fleeting glimpse of the new Transformer vehicles in the MicroScalextric range. BumbleBee and the Police car, Barricade, are due for release this summer to coincide with the release of the new Transformer action film.
The MicroScalextric set has a large track layout with twists and turns to try and out run the pursuer.
Paul kindly emailed me let me know that a the first images of the set have now been shown.
The robots rise out of the car forms and their head and arms can then be extended. On track, the arms are used to try to knock the opponent off the track.
This exciting, high adventure play set features Bumblebee (Chevrolet Camaro) battling against the evil Barricade (Ford Mustang). Both cars transform into their robot character modes. The characters battle against each other when transformed, trying to knock each other off the track with their extended arms! The set comes complete with hand controllers, power transformer and highly decorated track mat."
The press release can be found here on the Scalextric website and contains two quicktime movies of Bumblebee and Barricade transforming to robot mode and back again.
Before viewing the videos here are some still images of the set.
