After doing some digging, 2005 boards user Optimus4EVER has discovered a rumored team-up between Transformers and Build-A-Bear Workshop. It was discovered after periodically calling about anything in the works as a promotion for the upcoming movie, and according to a spokeswoman, it has been rumored that something is in the works.
In addition to this rumor, a t-shirt was also found with an Autobot insignia on the front, allowing young Transformers fans the chance to share their love for the franchise with their furry friends!

I'm sure some fans will find this kind of merchandise unBEARable.

More like "Foam Cubes" but still
Me too, tho not really a bear fan… just an Optimus one! I'll at least give'em a look-see.

If they make a Optimus bear I will get it for sure.

For my bear to live, yours must die!

Yep. I look at that Optimus "bear" and all I can hear is that line from Evil Dead 2: "I'll swallow your soul!"

A few years back we took my son to build-a-bear to get something. He chose a chimp. When it came time to dress it, he wanted to dress him like a transformer.
I briefly thought of home-decorating a t-shirt to say "monkey, not truck," but never got around to it.

Why does the news post not actually have the photo or even mention the photo that 100% proves the collaboration and has pics of it and goes about just claiming it's a rumour? Did nobody scroll a few posts down before making the post?

YES! I've been waiting for a Transformers Build-a-bear since before AOE! I agree that Prime looks a bit creepy and not much like a bear, but Bee looks great. Hopefully, they'll have more than Prime and Bee. Megatron would be cool.

The Optimus looks kind of creepy, but the Bumblebee looks fine.

Hope this happens, got really addicted to build a bear recently what with tmnt, and Star Trek, and power rangers products there. Would be cool to see what they do with Transformers.

Hello fellow TF Fans!
I have been calling my local Build-A-Bear (BAB) stores since early December, asking if Transformers was going to become furry friends ETC. No one knew anything at the time…or January, February, March….but I called last week and the very nice young lady informed me that
"There are rumors about that…but I don't know for sure"
She said to call back closer to the movie's release date. I have seen business websites with postings about Sonic Hedgehog and Transformers teaming up with BAB. I already posted about this a few months ago….so excited!
Here is the link to the sold out Autobot symbol furry friend t-shirt. So cute!
