EntertainmetEarth has put up images for what they are calling a two pack of War For Cybertron Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. At this time it is labeled as two separate figures and shows us what the toys look like without the Hollywood Photoshop job that comes with the Official Catalog Images that Hasbro uses as well.

Check out the link for yourself here

Bumblebee looks even better in actual color. Loves both modes. Prime looks a little plain, and the alt mode looks like a bar of soap with wheels and headlights. Robot mode looks cool, however.

Some how prime and bumblebee don't look tansformed correctly.
But I'll buy prime.

I was thinking the same thing. BB's foot is not transformed correctly (and there may be other things not right with him) and Primes legs are not fully extended.

And like you, I have my sights set on Prime as well just as soon as I see one in person so I can find out exactly what color red he really is.
I've seen a half dozen different pics. of him now and not a single one seems to have the same shade of red as any of the others.

I think I am in the minority, but I really don't like these figures much at all. At first, i thought they were interesting. Now I just don't like the alt modes at all. The bot modes are good, but the alt modes are just killing it for me.

I'll definitely be buying BB; love both the alt and bot mode, despite the mistransformed feet.

As for Prime...meh. The alt mode looks silly, and his bot mode is rather kibbly, expecially those two red flaps behind his waist.

The more I look at them, the less I want them - they remind me of Animated, which galls me because I now wish I'd collected it.

I'd rather get my hands on Animated Bumblebee and Prime.

When i first saw these, i really liked them, but now since more exposures of them is coming out and seeing what they really look like (not photoshopped), im loosing interest in these 2. i will wait until i see them in person and then a decision will be made or unless Takara makes them and then i"ll just wait it out.

BB's bot mode reminds me of Kup... Wish he came in blue..

I am buying them, eventhough they aren't on my priority list. They first of all aren't that expensive and if I don't I might regret it later on.
Maby I'll just keep them MISB... (like stock-options lol)

I am getting bumblebee, but there has been nothing about Prime's toy I have found horribly attractive. I am not getting it.

Those aren't flaps, it's one piece, part of the hood in alt mode.

I have that toy, it's an excellent mold. Colors look much better in person too.

Want to see the JPN version of these. Given what they did to Animated I feel that they will do a better job of it. GO CHROME!

Hmmm, he is a bit Kup-ish.

I saw the craziest thing the other day at TRU. I was looking for TFs and happened to walk by the Iron Man stuff. On one of the end caps were vehicles for Super Hero Squad figures (much like our Robot Heros) and the vehicle for Iron Man is a absolute dead ringer for WFC Bumblebee! Not having seen BB for myself up close and personal I must have stared at that thing for 20 minutes comparing it to what I thought was BBs vehicle mold.

What do you think?

Does Hasbro have any idea what a lack of professionalism they display when they advertise so many of their figures without transforming them correctly? I'm guessing not.

Bumblebee must walk with a limp. Don't you love how stock photographers always get something wrong? It's like a compulsion.

I like Prime's bot mode and BB's alt mode. Figures

The BB figure looks really good and I'll definitely pick one up.

Since Prime is a deluxe, and a Cybertronian truck this time around I'm seriously considering trimming off his ears and calling him Orion Pax.

I already decided I'm getting them both quite awhile ago. However, Thrust and Drift are higher on the list, simply because I believe these two will be easier to find.

BB does look pretty good, mistransformation aside...but...does he suffer from Animated Lockdown Hand Syndrome? :shock:

I really have to see this one in person but I'm seriously considering using this figure as my Bumblebee for my Universe/Clasics display just so him and Cliffjumper look a bit different.
