First Bumblebee you've kinda sort made me want in ohhh 6 years, good job Takara. To bad it's an expensive exclusive.

Don't like the mint and Allspark blue mixed in there.

If I had one of these, I'd turn the micron ports on the roof into a lightbar and make it into Prime Barricade.

what a difference a dark color scheme makes on perception
visually pops every time i look at it
clear micron, icing on cake

maybe the BBTS exclusive will fill the domestic intrigue for this

For that much it had better come with at least 4 minicons in clear plastic..I know it's a exclusive but damn its still a deluxe..Thats twice what a takara arms micron deluxes goes for..

It's awesome. I really like that mold (bite me), that colorscheme and zombies. It's awesome.

Reminds me of Nemesis Prime. Nemesis Bee?

Primus forgive me, I preordered this sucker.

Just what I need, another Bee, but man does it look good!

Takara Terrorcon Cliffjumper, or Terrorcon Bumblebee... Decisions, decisions. Mind you, Terrorcon Cliffjumper has its production run ended for a while, so I heard from a store, so doesn't make things any easier.

Well, in Japan he's 2,480 Yen compared to 2,100 Yen for a regular Deluxe. Take that however you want, but I think the stores are cheating here.

I'm getting tired of the myriad Bumblebee repaints...I did get Hot Shot, because I liked his color scheme, and he wasn't just "Bolt Blast Bumblebee".

I like the idea of Prime Barricade... but I also think with a different head sculpt, this could EASILY make a good Prime Nightracer. There are never enough fembots :grin:

I hope I can get my hands on one of these - Zombie Transformers make me smile. If they re-released half the G1 Decepticons with new head sculpts to show where Megatron lobotomized them, I'd go broke.

For those wanting a little more insight into Takara Tomy's Aeon exclusive Transformers Prime EX Terrorcon Bumblebee we now have the translation of his bio courtesy of it's author the Allspark's Hydra. Check it out below.

Andrew "Hydra" Hall wrote:The weapon Bumblebee discovered at the excavation site appeared at first glance to be just a normal piece of equipment. However, the moment curiosity got the better of him, his consciousness was swept away by waves of Dark Energon coursing through his body. This was no ordinary weapon, but a trap planted by dark medic Knock Out! The Dark Energon secreted by Arms Micron Terrorcon Zori has transformed Bumblebee into a rampaging beast. If he is not given immediate treatment, all of the Autobots will be at risk.

Infection Mode:
A mode in which he uses his Twin Cannon for long-distance attacks in all directions to deal damage to opponents, then rushing in with blazing speed to infect them with Terrorcon Zori's Dark Energon stinger. Covering both close and long-range combat, this is an incredibly effective combination for Bumblebee.

Two words: Helicopter ***k

You may buy a vowel.

Edit: whoops - thought it was the long stinger, not the twin cannons. Probably just waves his arms around like a madman.
