Dark Of The Moon Silver Bumblebee Repaint Revealed

Posted by Blurrz Mar 29, 2011 at 3:28am CDT 50,375 views
Ah, the sly, and every so active Transformers Movie toy line collector. You thought you were done getting those funds ready to purchase those Dark Of The Moon Bumblebees, weren't you? Nope, let the emotions run wild as you're going to have to add one more. That's right, another Movie Bumblebee repaint is in the works, and no, not yellow, black, or red (sorry Cliffjumper), we've got pictures of a silver/grey Camaro repaint. This figure still has some notable Bumblebee-like features, and sports a fancy logo to boot. Which Bumblebee mold is being used is still a mystery, although it's likely Battle Blade as that has yet to be reused by Hasbro. Check out the images below!

It's CLEARLY Cannon BB. I had hope for it, but it just got crushed. THANKS, HASBRO!

It's some kind of symbol, but it's not a decepticon insignia for sure.
On other news, did we really needed another BB? How much cash can you milk out of BB before you have to kill it and eat it? Apparently, to the point of nauseousness.

Like someone else said, I'm pretty sure that's a repaint of Cannon BB. He has the seats inside and the solid front--the split doesn't go all the way down the front like it does on Battle Blade BB. Plus, the rest of the panel lines seem to match up. That would make it the fourth release of the mold--granted, Battlefield BB and BB from the Rampage Among the Ruins had the battle mask, whereas Cannon BB had the head with the tarsier eyes.

Alright, that's it. This is ridiculous. We've gone past conceivable repaints, redecos, exclusives, etc.

This is nothing but a moneygrab for Hasbro, and it should be looked upon negatively.

It's one thing to pad their line up to keep things going, but this is just bull$#17

How on earth could Hasbro come some close to gaining themselves a small sliver of redemption and then so totally blow it at the last second? Black and Silver...that works. Black Silver and Yellow detailing... :SICK:

Had they gone with something in the blue range for the detailing and made the arms, legs and head something like a gun-metal grey so that they stood out just enough from the vehicle parts that it's not a solid looking blob, then they would have had something.
Maybe use the blue stripe that should have gone onto the vehicle detail to also highlight some of the bot features (without going overboard) just to spruce it up a bit.
What they have, however, is just freaking hideous. I have no desire to see that thing transformed cause that would just be nightmare inducing.

This is absolutley gonna have to stop. DOTM is turning out to be an either hit-or-miss line. i till say ROTF was a much better line.

No more BB...Please no more BB!!! :evil: :twisted: :-x
