Seibertron.com member, Heat Guy, has received the Transformers Movie Deluxe Camaro 2008 Bumblebee and has provided us with some out of package shots.

Are you having difficulties keeping track of all the different Bumblebees?
There are two deluxe versions of Bumble – a 1970’s Camaro and a 2008 Camaro. The 1970’s version is part of the first wave and is already in stores. The 2008 version is part of a later wave and may be out soon. Keep your eyes open for him in the stores.

For such a small figure he looks great.

Finally something i can replace with that freaking-stupid deluxe BB i changed. Now my store dosn't sell them anymore thanks to my warning about there 'production failure'.

This one looks great! Clear windows and a pretty show accurate gun instead of these-two-chesse-pieces.

He does look pretty nice. His alt mode looks like a "low rider" because of the stuff hanging from under the car.

Buying that one on sight. Amazing how the $10 one looks better than the $90 one.

LOL good luck finding him! Try the factory, they might sell one there. How much is the boat to China these days anyway?

A much better Bumblebee figure. I'll buy this version I think.

Now that's a gun. I just hope it's stable in his hands, that's the only thing keeping me from wanting him. lol

now that thing looks great, the robot mode is just so much more badass than the other deluxe BB, and I love the look of the new camaro

Absolutely beautiful! He looks perfect!

by **Supercollider** » Sun Jun 10, 2007 9:18 am

Hmm, Love the robot mode - looks better than the 70's one.
But the 70's car mode, there's just something cool about how retro it is taht I love more the the 2008's car.

Very Movie accurate, Now thats more like it!!! I love him... it shall be mine.. 2 in fact.. one to open and one to keep closed.. one will be by my desk at work..I like it!! I think the stuff hanging under the car just needs to be pushed up there better.. it doesn't seem like Hasbro to not have the car roll with stuff hanging to stop it.. I will buy him definitely.. he is a huge, huge improvement over the first production.. I just hope his feet and legs have more articulation, posing the 1970s version was a P.I.A.!!!

i think they need to update the 1970s version to be more like the 2008, because if you notice the 1970s Camaro is supposed to break away over the chest the same way the 2008 does, and the legs are supposed to have similar kibble as well..Come on Hasbro, fix and re-release a better 1970s Camaro Bumblebee!!!

That looks amazing. He also looks a lot more like he does in the movie than the '74 deluxe.

I love the text at the top of the news story! I mean, I could have sworn that this is the 70s Camaro!
(I'm just joking.)

I realy look forward to this figure, but on a side not, alot of people are saying that they are gonna skip the 74 version for this and I have to say, outside of the oversized feet, 74 BB is a great toy.

The automorph works great on both the chest and legs, but what I was most suprized about is that the car pannels break up during transformation in a manner very similar to what I've seen in the trailer.

08 BB is gonna be a great edition to my collection, but 74 BB is nothing to scoff at himself.
