If they do a Bugbite repaint of this I'll get it, otherwise it's a pass.

i just looked again and he's missing alot of the details the premium added on I may have to get some more silver sharpis

I have the first version so I'll pass on this one.

I'll save my money for Sideswipe and Screamer.

He looks pretty much the same apart from his ehad. It is more accurate but i hope they change the paint aps a bit. His eyes need to be one colour with a slight pupil, the ones he has now are too obvious it looks really silly. Also why is there no detail on the top of his head? No Autobot symbol, no markings nothing, makes him look unfinished. Not a fan of the projectile launcher either just give us the weapon the former version had but untransformable with a nice blue LED in it.

Are you forgetting it's a kids toy?
Kids enjoy shooting littlem issles. Boring lights wouldn't make much sense from a sales point of view.

Well....He does look better then the first and more like his movie version

hmm, not likin the new weapon at all. i loved the old version with the blade idea and all.
plus the head is just ugly, more so then the first
if they do an interseting enough repaint, say a blue version, something we havn't got yet then i may just may pick it up

...Meh.

Do they? Even as a kid, I hated launching missiles. Damn things just got lost.

Look at the way the chest (front of auto) points foward and splits outward on both ends the way Barricade transforms. On the old Bumblebee figure the chest simply folds down pointing towards the ground. At a quick glance you may have missed it.

What change, the chest still transforms exactly the same. All they did was alter the fog light section to give it more of a racing/body kit appearance. The transformation remains the same.


And as is I really don't need another one of these.

I'm sure we'll see many repaints of this. I might pick up one of the repaints if its nice enough. The changed fog lights and weapon really aren't enough to warrant an additional purchase.

You were apparently one of the few (unlike me) who realized that....
THere are at least 30 missles under my entertainment center from when I was like 6....

Cant buy him. Dont like the head mold and the weapon. I prefer stealth bumblebee.

I wish they'd do the original body mold with the Stealth BB head which, frankly, looked the dogs gonads.

The Premium version of movie bumblebee had the same head as Stealth BB...

Thanks for that, one to keep an eye out for.
