I don't see why anyone should give a crap if it was how he looked previously or how he looks now. Bumblebee looked like that at some point in an IDW comic series, and that's the version the toy represents. This is like complaining about getting a toy of season one Beast Wars Cheetor when he sported Transmetal II Cheetor in the third season. It's still Cheetor from Beast Wars, what's the big deal?

Prime Bee is an Urbana 500, not a Camaro.

Springer = bought.

Blitzwing, I'm leaning towards "bought," but I'm not liking the face.

AWESOME!!!!

If only classics Astrotrain was a voyager to pair with this guy?

Don't forget that Robotkingdom has a preorder for Voyager Springer and Voyager Astrotrain. Maybe they meant Blitzwing, but maybe Hasbro is keeping Astrotrain a surprise?

Which, for the umpteenth time I've mentioned, he may have a face-changing gimmick as a small homage to Animated Blitzwing. So far, only faces we've seen is his G1 face and his Icy have. It remains to be known if he has a crazy face.

Okay, maybe I should rephrase that.

It's that space between his visor and the bottom of his "helmet" that I just don't like for some reason. Also, the shape of his helmet looks "funny" to me, probably to incorporate the face-changing gimmick. If the top rim of his helmet would protrude just a little further out, it would look much better.



But since the toys are probably due for a year-end release and it's still early days, I hope they'll do something about it.

P.S. I didn't bother reading any of the comments before posting. Too many pages to read through.

If the final version still has that space, take a red Sharpie to him. That's why God gave us Sharpies: to add color where color is needed!

both are buy on sight for me. two of my favorites getting there own generations mold. gonna be a good year if they are released this year.

High-pitched fanboy SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

well, I'm sorry you can't ever consider opinions other than your own. I personally am not a fan of the black stripes or the transformation of that Bumblebee design. If you're happy with having Kreo Devastator facing off against Heroes Of Cybertron Omega Supreme, with Animated Leader Megatron and Energon Optimus as a display, that's fine by me, but I'm usually more partial to a consistent style, and with this Bee being so similar to his Movie and Prime looks I'd have rather seen a different character get the plastic.

Face-swapping Triple-changing Blitzwing in the same aesthetic and size-class as RtS Lugnut? Yes please!
