Actually he's not really. That's apparently the Deluxe sized Animated Bumblebee which has a fake Car roof for a chest. The real roof, transforms into the back of his lower legs which is where the siren light ends up.

The Activators version on the other hand actually keeps the car roof as the chest so it keeps the Siren light there as well.

$24.96 is my guess. It is Walmart after all. And you are right, there should be some sort of deal in the mix. Pay $30 for $30 worth of figures is not really a bonus and not the way multipacks usually work. But who knows.

I think the Star Wars Evolutions are like $19.99 and that is about regular price, but lately those have been new molds, not just new paint jobs. It's hard to say.

Now this a nice set. One can sample the best 3 TF lines Hasbro has out now. I hope to get one soon.

Hmmm...I just started pondering the notion the other day of picking up a Classics Bee. Figured it would probably cost me about $20 shipped for a MISB one off eBay. If this set ends up being 20 it might be the way to go... But if it's 25+ do I want to spend the extra on two figures I have absolutely no interest in? I like the movie mold and all, but I have the original and Stealth...probably one too many already. And animated: pure lose marinated in urine and wrapped with a turd...or however those phrases go here. :lol:

But I suppose I could just sell the other two at some point...

Damn it, That's the best use of the Classic Bumblebee mold yet... but I don't want the other two :-?

damn them.

Also why the hell does that mold never come with a gun! what's a jetski & trailer going to do in battle?

The jet pack on my one won't attach, so he's staying on terra firmer - I have him hold that little pistol that comes the the red crane in the Build king set... Hightower?

Whatever, Happyness is a warm gun!

Now if only Takara would do a Cliffbee with a retooled head :-?

That's cool.

I haven't preordered the animated BB yet, so i may get this.

And another movie BB :roll:

, now with a combat head ... I guess that's OK too.

Small world. I do that too.

Considering how Animated BB was the only one of the first wave sold out when I pre-ordered them with Hasbro's botcon discount, I might just pick this up if it's readily available and inexpensive. It would even be tempting for me to keep it MISB, but... naaaah. I have toys so I can play with them.

News Credits: 1 · by **Solrac333** » Sun May 25, 2008 5:42 pm

I'm guessing that this will come out after the Animated toys come out.

by **Autobot Snake Eyes** » Sun May 25, 2008 8:35 pm

That looks sweet.
Heres hoping for a likewise release for Megs, Jazz, and OP.

by **Gold_Bug** » Mon May 26, 2008 12:01 pm

If I find this, I need to pick it up.
Cheaper than buying all 3 on ebay.
I hope someone can find a release date.

I like this set and I'll get it if I see it I just wanna ask though,

How come no G1 BB?

Even the keyring one would be a real nice touch.

Because that would just be over the top!

And I think the Classics one is supposed to represent the G1 version.

I wasn't going to get movie BB in ANY form whatsoever due to how many there are, and Animated BB was a maybe if I really want to collect all the figures. Classics BB, however, instantly makes this an insta-buy. Animated and Movie BB are icing on the top

Yeah, I'm pretty shocked too.
Maybe the folks at Hasbro saw that April Fools' picture and decided "Hey, let's just redeco Classics BB according to this pic!!!"....

I think i'll be getting this since i have none of them....

me to,i skipped classics cause i didn't like the white,but black makes it cooler.movie bb i have 2 of the mold(concept,cliffjumper)but i like the helmet on this one.animated is not avaible in stores yet,so im geussing a late june/early july release.
hey,you know what they could do,they could release it on july 3 when the tf movie first premiered(because it was the first time bb was ever in the fiction and toy at the same time)

I don't think anyone would mind the little guy being thrown in.

Go Classics, G1, Movie, one up it with Action Master, then Animated.

Collectors and kids would freak :grin:
