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. The custom flavor was specially commissioned and christened to celebrate the June 2009 release of Revenge of the Fallen. It comes 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 is part of 7-Eleven's Superhero Summer, an ongoing series of movie tie-in promotionals celebrating films such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine and Terminator Salvation.

That head would make a great coffee mug.

Additional Transformer-themed merchandise released alongside Bumblebee Blast includes:

  • Character straws, featuring Bumblebee, Megatron, Optimus Prime and The Fallen, wherein tiny plastic figurines of our heroes are impaled on a long, thin, hollow plastic cylinder.
  • A refillable 28-ounce cold beverage mug in the shape of Optimus Prime's head.
  • A 12-ounce cup with removable stickers.
  • A special two-disk release of Transformers, with a special "transforming" package featuring Megatron, in a similar style to the Target-exclusive transforming Optimus Prime package.
