New Images of Deluxe ROTF Bumblebee Figure

Excellent, that's a tenner I won't be spending.

Looks great ! I like the way they changed ther transformation on the chest. Obviously they want to make as much money as they can on the mold but, Ill still add him to my collection of Bumblebee repaints

same here. hopefully it'll be this way with all the movie toys.

*sigh*

It would be nice if they could provide one picture - just ONE - that displays a full, uncropped view of the robot mode...

(well, at least it's not mistransformed and blurry...)

Is the gun his hand? I hope it's just some clever way for him to hold it. Otherwise those bug eyes creep me out a little.

What change, the chest still transforms exactly the same. All they did was alter the fog light section to give it more of a racing/body kit appearance. The transformation remains the same.


And as is I really don't need another one of these.

I'm sure we'll see many repaints of this. I might pick up one of the repaints if its nice enough. The changed fog lights and weapon really aren't enough to warrant an additional purchase.

I don't like the eyes, and face. They bug me more than the original for some reason. I also think the chest sticks out too much now on the sides...

Thankfully, I do not think the movie line is going to fool me twice.

Whats up with the bug eyes? Not enough of a change for me to buy it.

As a wise man once said, "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, it's probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. It fool me. We can't get fooled again."

Hmmm, not sure if I'll be picking this one up. Not digging the new weapon that much. Love the new headsculpt but they could've dialed down the huge eyes about a notch or so. I'll need to see more pics in the coming months to make a decision.

On a side note - hopefully this time ALL movie figures will coming in the "Premium" format.

If Walmart is still doing the $7.77 deal, I'll get him, if not I'll skip.

I'm also hoping to skip a bunch of the re-used movie characters.

Sadly (for my wallet) the new Prime looks really awesome.

his head sculpt has a mouth!

I actually like the new head sculpt, it looks more like the movie, but I'll skip this one too, I'm fine with the first one. I prefer the old weapon too.

Oh God look at those eyes!
It'S as if they look right into my soul.

way to make a bad figure worse, hasblow!

nah bumblebee has just seen ur real face dm

I wish the people who hate the movie would put some sort of disclaimer in their post so I know not to read it....

Anyhow, I'll buy this. Like the new head, the body kit (although somewhat unbalanced) is nice, and the weapon may prove interesting...

If he did he'd be trying to date me....

I knew it was good waiting to buy this sucker!

Egh...I already have three variations of the original (and not really on purpose either)...I definately don't need another...

It better be a PREMIUM!

Is it more movie-accurate? Looks like it.
Is it "better"? Maybe.
Do I want ANOTHER movie BB? No.

very nice I'll pick him up the head sculpt and the new body kit looks amazing.

The 2 photos of the bonnet in alt mode are slightly different at the front of the hood, there's a 'step' down from the height of the centre piece to a slightly lower level before the drop to the overall hood height which isn't on the original and, below the score which represents the end of the hoood there's a further short line before the edge of the grille on the original which isn't visible on the new one. The bottom section of the black grille also goes deeper than the original, it looks like it goes to the bottom of the hood from the wings in the centre pic, mine's has the yellow re-appearing at the bottom. Check it out!

I agree with Overcracker, there's no obvious difference to the transform in these photos to the bot on a shelf in my room, it's just been mistransformed to show unecessary amounts of the inner plasti of the bonnet. I no likee the head sculpt, even though it's closer to the 1st movie images the eyes are scary, I wish they'd do the original body mold with the Stealth BB head which, frankly, looked the dogs gonads. Other than that I'll spend the tenner on something else thanks Hasbro (for both Stealthy BB and this one, so that's £20 your down for the mo' Hasbro!) I might even save it towards the Voyager Animated BB, who knows?

edit: I forgot to name and shame that company (PS thanks for all the toys)

The Premium version of movie bumblebee had the same head as Stealth BB...

If they do a Bugbite repaint of this I'll get it, otherwise it's a pass.

i just looked again and he's missing alot of the details the premium added on I may have to get some more silver sharpis

I have the first version so I'll pass on this one.

I'll save my money for Sideswipe and Screamer.

He looks pretty much the same apart from his ehad. It is more accurate but i hope they change the paint aps a bit. His eyes need to be one colour with a slight pupil, the ones he has now are too obvious it looks really silly. Also why is there no detail on the top of his head? No Autobot symbol, no markings nothing, makes him look unfinished. Not a fan of the projectile launcher either just give us the weapon the former version had but untransformable with a nice blue LED in it.

Are you forgetting it's a kids toy?
Kids enjoy shooting littlem issles. Boring lights wouldn't make much sense from a sales point of view.

Well....He does look better then the first and more like his movie version

hmm, not likin the new weapon at all. i loved the old version with the blade idea and all.
plus the head is just ugly, more so then the first
if they do an interseting enough repaint, say a blue version, something we havn't got yet then i may just may pick it up

...Meh.

Do they? Even as a kid, I hated launching missiles. Damn things just got lost.

Look at the way the chest (front of auto) points foward and splits outward on both ends the way Barricade transforms. On the old Bumblebee figure the chest simply folds down pointing towards the ground. At a quick glance you may have missed it.

You were apparently one of the few (unlike me) who realized that....
THere are at least 30 missles under my entertainment center from when I was like 6....

Actually no, bumblebee's chest has always been able to do that. See following pics:





The only difference is the body kit section, and the fact that the chest panels are pushed farther up. Also the angle of the pic kind of deceives a little.

Cant buy him. Dont like the head mold and the weapon. I prefer stealth bumblebee.

Thanks for that, one to keep an eye out for.
