They appeared in the local Asdaland so I bought four. They are actually kind of terrible and yet wonderful in their rubbishness. I must have them all! They are of the rubbery material that Tiny Titans were made of but transform.
Sadly no collector cards this time though they do come with tiny instruction leaflets!
A point of danger is that the mini Grimlocks are ripe for army building...

How much are they?

They are £3 a pop, which is pretty decent.
The rubbery feel put me off at first but has grown on me. They are indestructible. They can be bounced off walls! Thinking about it more, I imagine proper plastic transforming toys just aren't viable at the price-point. They're a hard rubbery feel, not bendy.
I MUST HAVE THEM ALL.

A tiny bit of surgery has moved some Tiny Changers posts in the main TF5 thread to here.

Ralph now has 9 of the 12 wave 1 figures! He will pause before finding the last 3. No doublers yet.

I spoke too soon! The mania gripped me in Asdaland as I was distracted from my mission to get food. I even left TR Gnaws behind such was the strength of my blind bag lust!
Got the 3 figures I needed via astounding packet feeling. 12 for 12! No doublers!
I am ready for wave 2!!!

Ralph is sad that Nick claimed that TTC Bumblebee is "an abomination".
Is anyone else buying these? I can't be the only one on here!

I suppose these are slightly different in that they actually transform, but the blind bag stuff for me comes under the 'associated sundry tat' label. Which I know you'll argue against, but I prefer the proper toys.

Aye, I'm collecting - but only got Prime and Grimlock so far. I'd be more keen if they were a quid less. But they're fun. And cute. I like them.

They were there in the displays. -Ralph |

Can't find it in stock so I think it may be a bit like Smyths where they've listed it and are waiting on them hitting stores. I've rattled through S1 and I'm now a Sideswipe and Lockdown away from finishing it with no doublers. |

Yeah, the next catalogue must be due out with it coming to the end of the summer season. Remember the excitement of getting the new Argos and Index catalogues and finding all thr toys you wanted in them?  |

Buy Tiny Turbo Changers for £3 each, or get 3 for £11! ... Um. I guess the weapons are worth the extra two quid..? |
