Arcee looks craptastic. Glad she didn't make it into the movie.

Bumblebee, on the other hand, is pretty cool....at least the 2008 one. I might get the other one for my son, but 2008 camero is the one for me.

Arcee is fairly horrible, colour was nice, alt mode decent, but the whole robot mode is the usual mishmash of poor design.

'08 Bumblebee makes the 74 version look like a kiddy "my first transformer" toy. Ill definitely skip the 74 version now.

I realize the car designs are seperated by 30 years, but come on, `74 BB doesn't even look like he's made by TakaraTomy / Hasbro, he looks like a cheap knock-off! I can't believe how bad he looks next to `08 BB. Man!


It doesn't help that in that comparison photo, the '74 BB isn't completely transformed; the feet and arms look a lot better when it is. Still, the '08 BB is at the top of my list right now.

I knew there was a reason I had no interest in the BB that is in the shops now. That 08 version looks awesome though! I think I'll have to get him when he comes out.

The 08 Bumblebee looks pretty good for what it is, but Poor, poor Arceee. What has become of her... :(

the newer toy is an improvement over the 70's version. Id say of all the movie toys that the first bumblebee has the ugliest robot mode, in fact its one of the ugliest TF ive ever seen, its just all wrong, those feet in particular.

actually BB and arcee should get married, the ugliest TF pair on the planet, shameful allowing those designs to go into production. they are toys yes but there are so many classic TF toys out there that to see monstrosities like this 30 years on is incredible (their vehicle modes are great though)

The 08 BB is dead sexay!! Finally a movie toy I'm willing to purchase now heres to praying its under $15.

Finally a BB with a chest and not just a slab of car on his chest. I'm impressed by this toy.

Yeah, the new BB looks sweet! His first design was a big "meh", but this one's nice. Can't wait to pick him up.

Wow, the '08 BB is vastly superior to the '74 one. I pretty much decided that I'm getting two movie toys, Optimus and Bumblebee, and since I got leader Optimus, that's the Bumblebee I'm getting.

ok, i like bb's 2 forms. to be truthful, i like 74 version because he starts out as an OLD car. not shiny and new. i think the movie should have featured some more older cars, because i when you drive down the highway, you dont always see shiny and new. but what ever, i am just rambling now.

arcee, i like the idea, but i ask; whats that thing on her head? what is with the head in general? oh well, kools all around.

Motto: ""Life is an Eternal War for Survival!""
Weapon: Fusion Cannon
Arcee gives a lot to be desired, though some elements were inproved on this version like having the seat becoming the weapon instead of a silly attachment added to the vehicle mode that ruined its look.

The Camaro Bumblebee looks very interesting and pleases me the most. Both versions are good but the 2008 is nicer with the wings and the leg design. But the 74 version has a semi-G1 feeling that's apppealing to me. I think I will be buying both versions. ^^
