The Encore minibot set is scheduled for a May arrival, costing about $35 USD at online stores. The set consists of Pipes, Swerve, Bumblebee (Anime Accurate head remold), Outback, and Tailgate. You can see BBTS listing here
Is it me or does Bumblebee look to have more chrome than the normal release (bumper and headlights)?

Outback face looks a lot better with his visor painted blue.

I agree, because not all of the G1 series doesn't count as anime. Except for part of Scramble City everything prior to Japan's Headmasters series was (so far as I know) made in America.
I might get this when it comes out though. Or maybe pre-order it like I did Henkei Megatron.

Beachcomber with Cosmos or Seaspray would have been better in their place.
Still looking forward to these all the same but damn my G1 shelf is getting one sided... Can we get some Encore 'Cons already?

I second to that, everything. My autobots shelf is getting so full that they'll have to start invading the deception shelf sometime .

Going by Action-HQ's listing for the Encore Minibots, the set includes Bumblebee, Powerglide, Warpath, Cosmos & Huffer, so I'm not seeing what the problem is.

Then why do I see Outback and Pipes instead?

It's definitely confirmed that the Minibots lineup will consist of Bumblebee, Outback, Pipes, Tailgate, and Swerve. This has been confirmed through Japanese hobby magazines this month. Some of the online retailers still have the outdated information on their sites.
