Optumus Prime and Bumblebee: the ultimate kids party entertainers

The Melbourne Transformers helped our son ‘”transform” into the birthday boy and it was EPIC. We hired Optimus Prime and Bumblebee via XLENT Events to celebrate our son’s 6th birthday. These two incredible performers were so entertaining and engaging with the kids, and the grown-ups too! In fact, two parents mentioned they wanted to hire the Melbourne Transformers for their upcoming 40th birthday parties.

Being a close-to-summer November party, we requested for the two performers to arrive at our local beachside park. We could hear them before we could see them as Optimus arrived with a portable music device, blaring loudly for all to hear.

The two bots danced and entertained for an hour, with Optimus MC’ing in full character. The children were up dancing and playing games while the parents watched on. Huge smiles all round.

Both Optimus and Bumblebee stayed for selfies and photos till the end, and helped us count down for the traditional birthday song and cake cutting.

This is going to be a party to remember for a long time to come, both for our son and for all involved.

Thank you XLENT Events and the Melbourne Transformers for a brilliant day.

If you would like to hire the Melbourne Transformers for your next event, head to XLENT Events to book in your character hire: xlentevents.com.au.

Alternatively, follow the Melbourne Transformers on Facebook to find out when their next public performance will be. The Melbourne Transformers perform in public venues all over the city during school holidays.

Ashleigh Paterson isn’t trying to be the perfect mum. She’s not plating up Instagram-worthy dinners every night or pretending her five-year-old eats kale chips for breakfast. What she is doing, through her wildly relatable Instagram account  @ashleigh.cooks, is showing thousands of parents that feeding a family doesn’t have to be a source of stress. From weeknight dinners to lunchbox bakes and freezer-friendly snacks, Ashleigh’s recipes focus on what families actually eat.
