Transformers Prime has brought the animated robots-in-disguise back in a big way, and Hasbro is keeping up with a brand new assortment coming in October of 2011. It is IGN's pleasure to bring you the exclusive first look at Hasbro's Transformers Prime First Edition Bumblebee action figure, shown below. Pretty snazzy, if we do say so. The Transformers Prime First Edition action figure assortment includes Arcee and Starscream as well.

Holy foot kibble Batman! I don't really like it. Arcee looks good, Starscream is await and see. Bumblebee looks too wide and has too much awkward kibble.

Three for three.
Looking good!
I'm much more excited for these 3 than for anything from DotM.

Seems the same to me.
Actually Amiamted Arcee > Prime Arcee
So, I'd say so far, animated is better.

I'm not sure what I think of this figure. It looks okay in robot mode, but I really don't like the wide shoulders. The vehicle mode looks pretty good, though. I'm hoping we'll see Bulkhead soon.

I think the shoulders are perhaps slightly mistransformed or at least are at the far point of their articulation.

Eh. I'm just sick of Bumblebee. If I pick up any from Prime, 'Bee will not be one of them.

Not feeling any of these. Looks like if bayformers and animated had a baby this is what would turn out. They look too much like movie figures in an animated style. im new btw

They are really capturing the look of the show with these figures. Bumblebee's looking good.

arcee is my fave one so far.. star scream sacrificed his alt mode and bumblebee is ok
think they've done a fine job of marrying animated with the movieverse and am intrigued - hopefully the quality of the show will improve as they go along
am sure finding these more of a win than the moon thingies

Agreed, the right and left shoulders do not even match up.
But, I will say I think they have went 3 for 3 so far with these guys. Granted, the colors are probably photoshopped to no end, the molds have been great. Really looking forward to seeing Prime. Hopefully, he is a voyager and has his battle mask/plate

Don't know what it is about the alt mode but for some reason I want to see it redone in Cybertron Downshift's paint scheme. Not the bot mode, that would just look odd, but the vehicle mode in the green and black. Aside from that I don't have much of an opinion about this guy one way or the other. Other than some of the Generations figures, my enthusiasm for the most recent TF designs has dropped sharply.

Bumblebee looks awesome, I really like this style and I'm beginning to accept the no-noses. Since a lot of TF lines have noses, this is different. I also love the way animated + movie worked out, it's win from both lines. There are so many TF toylines now and coming out in the near future, I really need to get a bigger room :s

I would much rather see a CJ myself. Not that I collect CJs, but I could make an exception for Prime.
This Bumblebee looks decent, but I'm much less enthusiastic because it's Bumblebee, and that lower leg kibble looks pretty bad. I'm sure they could've done something a little better than that. But I'll probably buy it.
Bring on Bulkhead!
