Bumblebee is becoming the 1990's Batman of the toyline. "NEW He once drove through a puddle and got dirt on one of his doors Bumblebee, now with realistic muddy patch!" or howsabout just go completely balls to the wall and give us "Ice Cream Maker BB"?

edit: that all said, the silver isn't terrible.

I'd recognize that mold anywhere-it's the Battlefield/Cannon Bumblebee mold.

Well, I certainly have no idea were the inspiration for this repaint came from haha. And as for the mold, its the cannon Bumblebee, with the twin shoulder cannons that can pop out of the hood. You can tell by the pannel lines.

Green windows? Really? Looks like someone projectile-vomited Mountain Dew inside the car.

And the yellow trim on the caring stripes...ugh.

The red headlights aren't helping either.

I am not one to use language but… this Bumblebee looks like a piece of crap! Even if it was a Bugbite… I still would not get it! Hasbro please stop the hideousness, of the movie Bumblebee!

This mold again? Come on! I had hope this was a DOTM mold repaint but nooooo we get Cannon Bumblebee again. I like the silver but not the mold (well, I like the mold but I already have two)

Robot mode images of the previously seen silver Bumblebee have surfaced on TaoBao. The figure is revealed to be repaint of ROTF's Cannon Bumblebee. The images from the auction are mirrored below.

If we didn't know better I would say it's a KO.

WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT

SWEET AND SOUR PRIMUS! Please tell me this monstrosity is an unfinished prototype; there are practically no paint apps and what there are are vomit-inducing. I know Hasbro's trying to get as much out of Bumblebee as possible, but this looks like someone just upended a bottle of silver paint on an unpainted Cannon BB and called it a day.

Yeah, it reminds me of that Walmart exclusive black repaint of Super Speedbreaker...that was still all Hot Roddish red underneath in his robot elements. This Bee begs the same question: Why couldn't they just change the whole color scheme? Did they have to use leftover parts?

No wait, he REALLY looks like the Energon Energon Hot Shot repaint, which more or less featured an exterior silver coat for his car elements, leaving his robot mode still too yellow. Or, yeah, Bluestreak...if he wet 'em; no offense to Streakfans. It's just with his pants the only yellow part...

Worst figure of the year. Not even going to see what the other 9 months bring.

it would have been better to leave the inside yellow black..that grey head is ugly

Will this really sell?

The eyes,
They see,
One of those weird “take the letters and rearrange the letters and have a new set of words”, and that’s how I describe this toy!

This looks like a cheap knock-off, one, and two, those eyes give me **** nightmares.

Seriously, that makes Skids and Mudflap look good and I happen to despise those two fugly little buggers. That is quite possibly more hideous than ANY G2 color combination ever conceived. WTF was Hasbro thinking??? #-o
