With all the leader primes around here, the one version of the leader class I had gotten was the Stealth Force version. I loved and still love stealth force. It was an awesome concept that I loved and wished had made it into more toys. The stealth mode shield/front grill was particularly awesome in that case and I wish I had been able to get it.

As is, found out a fairly significant mistake was made in the money department, so I'll be out of the TF collecting game for at least the next month now

Thanks to the latest Figure King Magazine, posted by the Planet Iacon Facebook page, and a notification from Seibertronian Sabrblade, we have word of a new and very funny new figure for Takara's Movie the Best line: the Dark of the Moon Bumblebee mold repainted in pink to represent Laserbeak! For those who can't remember, in Dark of the Moon Laserbeak transformed into a pink version of Bee to get close to a little girl before killing her father. This toy makes that interesting version of Laserbeak come to life! The figure is looking to cost around 4300 yen, and will be available at the end of July. Stay tuned for more updates!

Really? I think the head sculpt (or just it's paint job) looks kinda terrifying :shock:

The weirdest thing about this to me was I was rewatching Dark of the Moon least night (yeah, I'm that guy) and when it got to Laserbeak transforming into mini-Bee, I thought "I wonder why this hadn't been made by anyone yet."

So if I think and hope hard enough like I did this, will more Armada homages happen in Generations?

Fitting that the same mold had been previously used to make Murderbee. :twisted:

Careful. Think and hope too hard and you'll get Laserbeak as a child's roleplay pink video camera

Could be the image, as with the exception of MURDERBEE (already mentioned) Movie Bumblebee's head usually ends up pretty loveable. Though I do notice it has red eyes...

Regardless, I still kinda want it, even if I end up making it a new head on Shapeways and making it into a new character. Elita-1 anyone?

EDIT: Even better idea- give her a completely original head design and call her "Lovebug".

Does that image mess with anyone else's eyes (like that dress from the other year) I look at it and it swaps from pink to yellow to pink every few seconds - it's really disconcerting.

Coming from Autobot-Aichi's facebook and courtesy of fellow staff member D-Maximus_Prime, we've got some new images of Laserbeak from Takara's 10th Anniversary line Movie: The Best for you! Referencing that one time in Dark of the Moon where Laserbeak turned into a tiny pink Bumblebee, this Wonder Festival 2017 exclusive is a repaint of that movie's Bumblebee figure. Check out the pictures below and tell us what you think in the forums!

I'm really mad at myself for wanting this

I am pleased they got my letters.

Surprised this hasn't been done before. It's neat.

Nope, it's totally the mold, and I think the mold choice was totally intentional. It's pretty smart actually :-?
