This has been talked about on other sites but I thought I would post it here Rat Shack is coming out with new Transformers Zip Zaps.

So far there is:
Optimus Prime, Barricade, and Bumblebee
Optimus Prime is a simi truck so might be a good platform to mod?
Barricade is a police car and Bmumblebee is a yellow Camaro

Sku numbers soon to be in the computers!
60-180 ZipZaps Bumblebee $19.99
60-181 ZipZaps Barricade $19.99
60-182 ZipZaps Optimus Prime Truck $19.99

It looks like, judging from the controller(from that fuzzy pic), they are still using the newest style chassis, like the Cars series.

Hey Pubejools, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Since you have been doing movie vehicles.......
I don't remember the name of the movie, but it was the old movie where the cars and trucks got a mind of their own and trapped a bunch of people in a truck stop. Anyway the lead rig was a carnival transport, and it had that green gremlin head on the front grill, and had red lights for eyes

I thought that might have been the movie he was referring to.

Stephen King Wrote and Directed it.

I wonder if any miniature hobgoblin heads from Spiderman ! would work.
