He's not a Leader.

If Battle Ops Bumblebee is not a leader class, what is it then? A cheesburger trio with fries converted to poutine?

For real? It true that the thing is MASSIVE compared to the leaders of the time and it was priced at 10$ more. Weird.

Also, I slowpoked noticed that the leader Bee from AoE is the exact same mold than the butt-ugly DotM version... with a very, very poor paint job and no massive mechtech. I even passed on the thing when it was 30$ on clearance! I just hope this will not be another shelfwarmer. What the hell will the price on this "bootleg" be?

and yet again, ANOTHER, UNNEEDED, UNWANTED Bumblebee figure...

if ate least it was the classics camaro, I would have understood, because il qould have been NEW!!!! but this? I already have this piece of **** that I had to buy if I wanted leader ironhide, because bbts wouldn't sell Hide alone...
I can see a shelfwarmer here....

no chance we could have gotten a human alliance topspin to complete the trio of the wrecker....

but nooooooooooooooo.....

we had to get ANOTHER bumblebe be cause we dont have enough of him.....

So TakaraTomy circumvented the license by releasing him as a retool of RotF Sideways:

Mmm...throwing stars? That weapon is a ninja weapon...and the Dinobots and Optimus look like knights...I wonder if there will be pirates, Lockdown could kinda be written as a pirate, so that would make Lockdown vs Bee interesting(and here I was thinking "Bumblebee is a ninja? Those are the enemies of the knights, he'll betray Optimus!" Because the Botcon set confused me for a second about who are the enemies fo the ninjas :lol:

I spy chrooooooooome!

*drools*

Seriously though, that shiny Grimlock/OP set looks nice. But then I am a sucker for shiny.

Toys R Us? The original listing said that Strafe/Stinger/Bee set was for Walmart.

by **Grahf_** » Sat May 10, 2014 2:32 pm

So the Cyberverse legion Grimlock and single pack Knockout Stinger don't come with weapons or are the weapons just under them because they're in smaller packages?

by **wangson** » Sat May 10, 2014 3:08 pm

Is it me or does Stinger look like a Chevy Camaro?

I love how the Stinger artwork on the boxes is just a mirrored red Bumblebee. They should totally rename him Bumblejumper before AOE is released. There's still time, right?

Good eye, tho I think it's Bumblebee who's the mirrored copy here. At any rate, the connection with Bumblebee does give the "Stinger" name some mysterious air...

Whoa, it looks like Strafe is a blue and black repaint of Beast Wars Basics Terrorsaur!:

I'll definitely have to pick that set up.

I think it is that stinger is anti-bee. But I could be wrong.

Because it is. Look a few pages back for the other Walmart dino sets.

Wait... I thought all those basics were considered lost or something

by **The Variable** » Sat May 10, 2014 6:49 pm

Stinger and Bumblebee really do seem to share the same body type. Maybe the Decepticons finally wised up after getting their asses handed to them by a "lowly"scout for 3 movies in a row.

I know Grimlock's the bigger name and all, but I really feel like the Rippersnapper recolor should have been Scorn instead. He's got a fin on his back, after all.

Does anyone have the barcode for the AOE Generations figures? I walked into my Wal-Mart today and saw the AOE plushies so I figured they probably had the generations in the back. But the employee told me she needed a barcode to see if they had what I was looking for. So if anyone has a barcode PLEASE give it to me
