Once again the Chinese auction site TaoBao brings us new looks at an upcoming Transformers DOTM figure. This time is the translucent redeco of ROTF Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee. Images from the auction are mirrored below.

Hmmm more crystal like figures, but that doesn't bother me as much as the creepy eye balls he has. Weirds me out, him staring at me.

If you don't buy him (and every other Bumblebee), DOTM Scanning ROTF Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee will eat your soul ...

Gah, way to ruin an awesome redeco, they should have used the first one or the latest one which are both brilliant, not Cannon Bumblebee or the one who instead of a hand, had a a really awful cannon with an even worse missile, those two are terrible.

Haha, I'm a sucker for this plastic here. This might be one more Bee I'm buying. It seems I buy about one Bee every year or so....

I hate to say it, but I actually like this one. And I told myself no more Bumblebees...

Sun Apr 24, 2011 6:26 pm

Ok I kinda get it. Make a bunch of different types of the same figure based on what people want. If you dont like it dont buy it, or by the one you like. Is that what hasbro is going for? The only problem is that a lot of the figures seem to be watered down. One comes with mechtech, one is translucent, one has kung fu grip. One can talk, the other can read and write. lol. They should make a line with movie accurate figures and little in scale articulated mini figures of the human characters. This would be a better and more accurate line. This is what I would liek to see. Im sure there are a lot others who feel the same way. It is time hasbro, lets do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

oh please hasbro... give us more bumblebees ... the over 9000 different moulds of this PIECE OF SHIII....I mean ... heavenly figure haven't been enough ....

Lol =}

Yay. More Cannon Bumblebee repaints.

Okay, I liked the original ROTF release and the battle damaged Rampage among the Ruins version, but besides those two, all these repaints are getting ridiculous.

They could've used the NEW DOTM Bumblebee mold but NOOOOOOOOO....

Sick of bumblebee.

Sorry to get off topic but has anyone else noticed both the Botcon 2011 website and the Funpub TFCC website are both not working ???

I keep getting this everytime:

Server Error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Either the Macromedia application server is unreachable or it does not have a mapping to process this request.

Is anybody else getting this problem or is it something on my computer ???

I kinda like translucent figures, but this thing is hideous.

Seriously!

I can't look at it without the music from the Halloween movies rolling through my head. :evil:

And I thought the Deluxe Bumblebees couldn't get any uglier. The only one they got (mostly) right was Battle Blade Bumblebee. (And that was mainly just because of the battle mask and the flip-out cannon. Why they couldn't combine a cannon and a hand on Human Alliance Bumblebee is beyond me but the Deluxe solution was genius.)

are holly and unholly twins?

Mon Apr 25, 2011 3:38 pm

I just want to take a poll, is there anybody who IS actually interested in possibly getting this guy?
Seriously does anybody need another Bumblebee, let alone a clear Bumblebee?
