Bumblebee Blast (Slurpee)

Galvatron has a vision where he travels the universe, collecting instruments of power, gobbling up resources, dominating species, declaring wars, ravaging planets, and drinking from the goblet of strife Slurpee.

BUMBLEBEE Blast Slurpee Flavor will transform your mouth into refreshment mode! Bumblebee Blast is a mango passion fruit flavor of the frozen Slurpee drink, sold at 7-Elevens nationwide during June of 2009. The custom flavor was specially commissioned and christened to celebrate the then-upcoming release of Revenge of the Fallen. It came served in one of four special plastic cups, each bearing the 3D likeness of Megatron, Bumblebee, Optimus Prime or Ravage.

According to the manufacturers of the Slurpee brand, it is so packed with flavor, your biceps will exhaust themselves merely contemplating the effort of lugging it from the dispenser to the register.

Bumblebee Blast was sold as part of 7-Eleven's Superhero Summer, an ongoing series of movie tie-in promotions celebrating films such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Terminator Salvation. It was replaced in July 2009 by "Liquid Ammunition", in honor of the live-action G.I. Joe movie.
