Apparently, TakaraTomy is going to release Henkei Bumblebee in the Movie deco.

This is an exclusive release and will be limited to 500 pieces and is only available in Japan.

They should have partially melted his face for that genuine movie 'feel'.

500 pcs? Thats quite limited

Wait a minute... if this is the Henkei version, why are Bumblebee's arms silver like the Classics version? I thought Takara would have coloured them black if they really wanted him to look like '08 BB.

Since this is a Takara Exclusive, I'll wait till Hasbro releases this here in the states at retail since I'm sure tons of people would buy this repaint.

Wait until they release flame-job Henkei Convoy and tan/grey Starscream

His stripes are too thin.

And the red headlights don't make sense, they seem a bit unsafe and illegal…

I'll pass, I like my original classics version just fine.

Front Paged and Credited, but I've added it to the "rumour" section until we have confirmation from Takara-Tomy or the retailer who'll be flogging these off.

Kinda reminds me more of Animated Bumblebee than the movie version.

I can see this going on ebay for ridiculous prices.

Paint isn't great looking, and the toy pics aren't very legit looking.

Lol. Good call on the red headlights. I do <3 the black jetski trailer though, it looks very nice.

I honestly didn't see this coming.

Uhh what a great repaint i want it so bad... (sarcasm)

I would really like the other one better, also i bet some one would want it because it was in japan.

I was expecting a few more people to like this, it doesn't look that bad. I prefer it to the previous two Bumblebee colour schemes. The black really goes superbly well with the yellow.

Looks okay, but totally unnecessary (for me anyway).

Looks exactly like the Classics version, they just swapped white with black. I'll pass. If they do a Prime with flames or grey/"realistic" painted Starscream, I'd buy them.
