Can't say I am even "whelmed", let alone overwhelmed, by this one. The final painting had better be decent or this will never see the cool ambiance lighting of my collectors case.

well I still can't believe they haven't incorporated a "battle mode" face sheild into the final toy mold?? it just makes me think I'll have to look at that ugly mouthless face forever!! I want a bumblebee that can move his faceplate down from teh top of his head into battlemode, it just seems cheap without that feature!!! Damnit Hasbro, get it right!! I hate the actual bumblebee face and I think the face shield version looks much better and more bug like..

It looked like there was flesh around it

Man why didn't they just use his origional face

This is still only a test right? He needs some paint to bring out the details.

i still like this one

I think it's great! Pretty cool looking figure.

Objectively speaking it looks like a well made and fun toy. I'd like to see it repainted as a noncanon Decepticon, but given Ryan's argument regarding the legal issues between Hasbro and the studio, I doubt we'll see many repaints.

Unfortunate for Ratchet as well.

You know, with all the exposed skeletal bits of the movie style, I could see kitbashing Bumblebay into Bludgeon...

Definitely starting to grow on me. More than likely will pick up!

Very impressive...definitely a must buy...I'm going to have to get another job to pay for all these toys I'll be buying....

Not bad. Not a huge fan of the legs, but otherwise he's pretty good(even the head; it reminds me of the old head the original Bumblebee had).


Overall one of the few they didn't completely, horribly screw up.

That my friend is so right.

Looks promising. I can't wait to see it fully painted. Although I am curious as to why we haven't seen a toy for Bumblebee's upgraded body yet. He does upgrade from a 70's Camarro into an '05 or '06 model in the film right?

somewhat reminds me of classic. the eyes look like there is a person wearing a mask though... still, id buy it

First Bumblee Bee that I can recalled being armed.

Huh the link appears to be dead for me.

Wow, this looks pretty good.

But we still haven't seen his '09 Camarro form. Come on, Bay!

We have to put this in mind we havent seen the toy for the 2008 camaro yet so that one might turn out looking cooler. But i would rather see the full sized jazz toy becuase he is my second fave next to Blackout. we also have saw nothing but the altmode of bonecrusher.

Wow he looks really good. I think I am warming up to the whole movie concept.

We jave indeed seen a fully colored BB Testshot before, I would find youthe past news article but it s gone. The figure did look good though the windshield was fully painted over, the ehad also looked much better. This is just the same Movie BB Prototype we saw a few months ago. This person just put up a really good gallery with multiple angles so I wanted to share it with you all.

And no to my knowlege we have not seen a toy of his upgraded form yet.

My bigest fear is that the 09 comaro form of him in the toy will be an exact copy with just a few different parts making it look fancy i dont care if the transformation is the same i just dont like it if it dosent have the hand gun you put over his hand.

he looks a bit better from the last time we saw him. still thinking about whether or not to get him

or better yet leave the 09 camaro for the ultimate version and lets hope that will be the only one without automorph technology and 100% complexidy (if thats even a word but you know what I mean) please come aug 2007.

Okay except his eyes look like the bottoms of dark beer glasses. I won't talk about his battle face, get too steamed.
