They're just trying to get their money's worth out of this mold before the inevitable Pipes remold.

I like the Huffer repaint, I do..but I was hoping to at least see a Cosmos prototype before a repaint.

So iGear first steals an original Hasbro mold then turns it into a Volks Wagon then turns it into a Disney character? Guys, I think their actively trying to get sued out of business! :shock:

Seriously, pissing off 3 separate multinational multibillion dollar companies has never fit in the palm of your hand so easily before!

I suspose herbie bee is great for those that like transformers colored & decorated in other movies characters. this isn't for me,because i'm not a herbie the love bug fan. I saw some of the old school movies & didn't like them.

I'm only willing to shell out the big bucks for 3rd parts toys that are voyager,ultra or leader size or supreme size.

something I believe everyone ever is well aware of by now.

Now, the new item's name has changed. "Black Rager"? Awesome suggestion. I'm so much more tempted to get one now. If I do, I'm going to call him Hooper X.

My thoughts as well, and as I recall Hollywood is much more serious about it's intellectual property than Hasbro is or can be.

What would be better, is a White Bumblebee with optional Herbie stickers, This would satisfy both Bugbite and Herbie fans.

When/where can i get that love bee??!! The 53 on the hood should be a lil lower to match original movie( Looks like 97 tv movie version. Which was better than "Fully loaded" and plot wise best sequel.With higher production values and a theatrical release it would have been way better.)Hopefully they'll make more with models like the one with side stripes ( one of the "good" addition from FL, the other being the 200mph speedometer.)

This was my first impression as well. And my second impression. ANd most of my third impression. Let's face it, companies may be protective of their brands, but Disney is WAY overprotective- only Apple may be on a par with them. Once the Disney lawyers get wind of this, the figure will never see the light of day and it may be the end of this company altogether. These companies are already pushing the bounds of intellectual copyright infringement, but this may step over it altogether and cause the entire thing to come crashing down.

I normally despise Legends for the cheapness in this day and age but I kind of like this Bugbite repaint. The Herbie homage is well done but the bot mode just makes me see Bugbite which I think is a good thing.

Something about Rager's head says toon Motormaster to me. Pity he doesn't have purple windows. Be nice to see a downgraded Motormaster among a few Scout Stunticons eager for payback. Plus I like the idea of MM having an independant cab since Marvel UK 289 and the last Earthforce story.

They won't for long. Like I said, Disney protects their properties more fervently than any other company. iGear's days are numbered.
