Transformers Prime Cyberverse Flamewar and Quick Blade Bumblebee Revealed, New Images of Legion Class Wheeljack and Mech Suit Bumblebee

That Wheeljack looks very unimpressive. I've thought most of the Cyberverse line has looked pretty good, given the limitations of size and pricepoint, but that one, just not good at all.

And that mechsuit thing is ridonkulous lol

Sucks that we finally get base/city transformers and they are bumblebee and optimus....

Sweet!! But not another Bumblebee!! Can't they repaint him and make him a new character like what they did to the Arcee mold by calling her Flamewar?

Yeah, I'm hoping we get a Cyberverse Hot Shot too. Even without remolding his tiny head, it would be a lot more tempting than another Bee.

As for Flamewar, this makes an interesting pattern of Hasbro taking FemCons created as Botcon exclusives and repainting a legends-sized figure into them for mass release. First Wheelie was repainted into Shadow Striker (who was more or less an enlarged Nightracer, the first figure specifically intentionally created for Botcon), and now the more logical step of repainting another mold of an ArceeCycle into the only previous Decepticon repaint of Energon Arcee in 'Descent into Evil'. Well played! Maybe next we'll get a bizarre repaint of Airachnid that's supposed to be Antagony!

I wonder if there'll be friction between Flamewar and Airachnid over who's Arcee's true nemesis? Yes, I know she probably won't be on the show, but an evil twin of Arcee tricking Jack wouldn't be the worst plot Prime's had so far. She could even mention being Makeshift's sister so it would feel more like a sequel to than a retread of 'Con Job'!

I think Flamewar is the best new name ever! I'm going to probably post that pic in threads whenever there's drama.

Why are there only 3 or 4 different Legion class weapons? I'm glad they actually have weapons, but still...

Again, Flamewar is neither a new name nor character. She's been around since Botcon 2005:

Factor in her possibly being the hardest to find of that year's exclusives, and this is the best cheap repaint the Prime line could have ever done!

I stand corrected. Next time I'll check the wiki for obscure name references before posting : P

I like the direction you are going with that.
I don't see Nightracer in Shadow Striker though.
There is more resemblance with Override



The exposed engine, the paint swipes, silver windows, a large Con symbol(much larger than used on Sideways of the same mold). Use some different colors and Nightracer gets a nice upgrade to Legends class.

On the topics Flamewar is going to be hit, and I never mind picking up another BB in Legends\Legion Class.
