His tail rotor was on his arm. It was that saw he kept deploying to cut people up with. And his feet were pretty big and squarish on screen. If they do a MP Blackout..... I.... I may have to get him.

Blackout had two rotors in the movie. One that was permanently stuck to his back, and a duplicate that he wielded in-hand as a weapon.

The one on his back was his main rotors that hung down. His arm one (which we were focused on) was the smaller one from his tail.

Nuh uh. The two were identical. The one on his tail was a completely different shape.

Well I sit corrected. I always thought that was his tail rotor. Where did I get that being his tail rotor from then? I've clearly got an image in my head of him using his tail rotor on his arm. When he spots the laser targetting on his hand. But that's right after the screenshot you posted. I'm confused now.

I'm guessing the use of a second main rotor was a late design change or a huge goof on the animator's part because some of the promotional images showed him like this:

I'm so excited about this. I got a the MB 12 which got me over 16k views on Youtube and it was an amazing figure. I'm specifically interested in Megatron, war hammer bumblebee, and lockdown.
megatron - looking forward to more decepticon leaders
bumblebee - too many bumblebees in the toy industry but this will be my last knight version of bumblebee instead of the crappy ones by hasbro.
lockdown - never got it. hopefully it will be better than hasbro and i might consider

is it possible that the war hammer bumblebee is the world war 2 version from the movie. this would mean the reissue one would be the repaint. and the war hammer one would be either a new mold or some changes into the figure

Other than accessories, the Movie the Best line doesn't do new molds.

Wouldnt the war hammer one be a small BB figure you have to paint yourself?

I see what you did there Will ;)^

Seriously though, I haven't seen the TLK movie, in what body did Bumblebee have that hammer?

His normal TLK Camaro body.

His normal TLK Camaro body.

The latest one? Odd... or not. By the time that one's released the regular TLK line will be over, so everything goes then.

Yeah, he used the hammer in his fight with Prime as seen in the trailers. Bee doesn't change bodies in the present day scenes of this movie, keeping his most recent body consistently throughout.

He uses the new last knight mold

From the latest Takara Tomy Transformers Movie The Best announcements, we discovered a new version of Revenge of the Fallen Jetfire to be available soon for retail - and thanks to images taken at the Japanese Christmas Toy Fair Expo (and uploaded on response.jp) those images have been mirrored below! Check out the cranky old Decepticon/Autobot below, and let us know what you think.

Hard to tell from these shots how that Jetfire's deco will be different from the ROTF original or the DOTM 2 pack with buster Optimus version. :-?

News Credits: 387 · by **Bounti76** » Fri Sep 08, 2017 4:36 am

Definitely a better robot mode (nicer colored plastics and paint apps), but worth $100? Not so sure.

The regular ROTF leader Jetfire sell for between 50$ to 100$ on Ebay. So 100$ for a Premium deco is not too bad. The real question is, is it worth that to you?
For example, I didn't hesitate for a second to buy 6 vintage headmasters from 1986-1987 at 120$CAN+tx each, but I find the TLK movie deluxes way too expensive at 30$CAN+tx. Same thing with TR Octone.

I wonder if he still has the English sound box or a new one in Japanese a la the MB-11 Optimus Prime.

If this is in any way like the movie leader Jetfire, no thanks. That thing was garbage...

It's the same mold.

I too am still hopeful for a new Blackout. That guy was sick.

He looks like he's got a really long mustache. A cookie duster for sure.

The Optimus Prime on the back right must be the Revenge Edition, as I see it has the original window pieces and not the retooled ones for the DotM releases. I'm also spotting the hand-held Battle Hooks, so it look like it's a hybrid using the Jetwing/Striker forearms.
