That's a fair point. As much as I would want to pick this up, I'm not spending more than 30 bucks. My wallet's kinda getting sick of me kicking it in the b*lls with 100+$ purchases from 3rd party companies. (But that's not saying I'm going to stop...lol).

If it were a Hasbro product, all the haters would jump on the bandwagon and add it to their collection of 101 different Bumblebees.

In fairness, though, it wouldn't be $100 if it were made by Hasbro.

Not that I dumped on it, but ...

I really don't think it would be $100 (assuming this is even coming). We've been seeing it a lot, but there's been small voyager or better, two-packs (albeit a little high for 3rd party scouts), and another Arcee because every damn Arcee has been 100+.

War Within .. INSTANT BUY!!!!!!!!

Pretty good looking. Always love designs from war within, hell the best thing a fan company could do for me is do some justice to Optimus from War Within, which FP is coming comfortably close to. But we already have a bazillion BBs on the market. What's the point in this?

Edit: I just noticed that the hips could be flipped the other way around judging by the joint they're on. Since when did fan companies start mis-transforming their own stuff?

I hope it's a 3rd party product. As I've said before, I would love to have a G1/MTMTE/WW Cybertronian Bumblebee. This looks nice, even if it is just a custom.

You want a War Within Optimus Prime? At least you already have the option of a WW OP made by Hasbro. The point is that fans want a WW/Cybertronian Bumblebee, and Hasbro isn't likely to tackle it. And they certainly won't touch a Volkswagen version. So G1 Bumblebee fans can only hope for 3rd parties to offer these versions, and therefore those versions are obviously the best way for a 3rd party to take advantage of a fan-favorite, money-making character.

It's horrible, whatever it is.

Oh I see. Now it makes sense.

Just saying, as many have pointed out, people other than yourself are getting tired of dropping a ton of cash every time a fan company drops the same character on us again. Also I wouldn't touch Hasbro's war within prime with a ten foot pole. That aside, Prime is obviously a common and un-neaded character as well, I just personally really liked his design the most out of all of 'em.

The design is a little butch for Bumblebee in my opinion, but the figure's a cracking representation of it.

Tempted, very tempted.
