ergh.... am i the only one who is sick and tired of the same Bumblebee=Camaro/movie type mold all over again?

i mean, come on, even the new alt mode's angles and proportions look eerily similar to TF:Prime Bumblebee, who is itself a reimagining of the movieverse Bumblebee. and look at the bot modes of the new series, even the faces look similar to TF:Prime. can't Hasbro come up with something more original???

i really went from being giddy at the 2007 movie reintroduction of Bumblebee to being frustrated at each iteration as it went further into the series... and when the TF:Prime Bee came too close to Bayverse style, even mimicking the no-voice box gimmick, i was absolutely devastated. yep, i really really hated the TF:Prime Bee and his human compatriot.

if the new Bee will get his voice box scrambled anytime in the new series, i'm gonna be all over the place.

Bring on Abominus and Piranacon!

It's the same guy. RID is the sequel to Prime. Bumblebee having a body in RID similar to his Prime body is no less strange than the body he has in Rescue Bots. It's all the same person.

And damn proud of it!

the RID figures have potential. the generations figures look great too. probably not going to be combined though. i like the individual bot modes better.

want G2 versions of the stunticons.

Would anyone be up for Protectabot retools of the combiners:

Motormaster - Hot Spot
Dead End - Streetwise
Offroad - First Aid
Alpha Bravo - Blades
Breakdown - Groove (Fire Chief car)

With the theme of the line being "Combiner Wars", it's very well possible that the remaining toys are gonna be more Combiner molds. 16 Deluxes and 6 Voyagers are coming out of this, after all.

Actually, there could be a chance for an Abominus and a Piranacon. I would also like a Devastator, Defensor, Bruticus, Computron, and Monstructor set. There can't be two combiners for one mini-Generations series. I don't think.

Just noticed something about the Superion image. He's got two Fireflys (Fireflies?) as his arms, and no trace of Air Raid.

So, Warrior Bumblebee is a heavily retooled Vehicon... Cool!

Also, loving Superion even more now that the individual bots have been revealed. I also appreciate how the combiner ports in their chests were designed to actually blend in and look good. This is exciting.

No he isn't.

This would totally work for me.

If some of this were true, I would highly doubt that Motormaster, Breakdown, and Offroad would have retools for Protectobots because they have different alternate modes. If that's not the case, then have the Seacons be a repaint of the Aerialbots.

pretty cool looking stuff

Fingers crossed, but if they bring in the Rail Racer combiner, we could have a Planes, Trains and Automobiles theme going.

We could have human bystanders who look like John Candy and Steve Martin. It would be *drops to dragon voice* "EPIC!!!"

Is it just me, or does Strong Arm look female? I hope so, I like when they make new female transformers. Even if it isn't, I'll probably get it cause it looks cool!

Yeah, Strongarm's a girl. Why do you ask?

Because there aren't enough female transformers who aren't arcee and blackarachnia.

The deluxe class bumblebee looks epic needs more 5mm points and minicon hard points though and Optimus's alt mode looks familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

I hope she gets a deluxe or Voyager class figure because it looks cool for a new character .
I would love to see the old team prime with a new designs for the character

It kinda reminds me of Star Convoy's altmode.

Why does Bee look like a Vehicon?



seriously while he looks like a new mold he at least looks inspired by the either the first edition Vehicons or the cyberverse air vehicon with wheels.
