I hate that Gold Bumblebee if only for the damn face. I just want a new Goldbug figure. It was the only time I actually thought G1 Bee looked any good (always preferred his original toy's face to the cartoon model) and I liked him in the comics. Bit of a wasted opportunity here and also with the Classics Bee not having a Goldbug retool despite how many times they've used that mold.

One of my favorite figs in my collection is BotCon 08 Goldbug. The alt mode is very unconventional but the head is pure win.

I just hope their availability is good because the last time we had a really nice crop of legends figures (the minibots wave) it was next to impossible to find them at retail. For some reason stores seem to carry a lot more movieverse Legends, which is unfortunate because those figs just aren't as nice.

Btw, am I the only one is at least slightly offended they made a redhanded Optimus?

That and Megatron's barrel is why I'm waiting to see if there will be a Takara release.

Nothing a little paint or a sharpie can't fix, the barrel is cast in orange plastic after all.

I found it strange that the barrel was cast in orange then painted silver instead of the other way around.
