ergh.... am i the only one who is sick and tired of the same Bumblebee=Camaro/movie type mold all over again?
i mean, come on, even the new alt mode's angles and proportions look eerily similar to TF:Prime Bumblebee, who is itself a reimagining of the movieverse Bumblebee. and look at the bot modes of the new series, even the faces look similar to TF:Prime. can't Hasbro come up with something more original???
i really went from being giddy at the 2007 movie reintroduction of Bumblebee to being frustrated at each iteration as it went further into the series... and when the TF:Prime Bee came too close to Bayverse style, even mimicking the no-voice box gimmick, i was absolutely devastated. yep, i really really hated the TF:Prime Bee and his human compatriot.
if the new Bee will get his voice box scrambled anytime in the new series, i'm gonna be all over the place.

It's the same guy. RID is the sequel to Prime. Bumblebee having a body in RID similar to his Prime body is no less strange than the body he has in Rescue Bots. It's all the same person.zemper wrote:i mean, come on, even the new alt mode's angles and proportions look eerily similar to TF:Prime Bumblebee, who is itself a reimagining of the movieverse Bumblebee. and look at the bot modes of the new series, even the faces look similar to TF:Prime. can't Hasbro come up with something more original???

the RID figures have potential. the generations figures look great too. probably not going to be combined though. i like the individual bot modes better.

With the theme of the line being "Combiner Wars", it's very well possible that the remaining toys are gonna be more Combiner molds. 16 Deluxes and 6 Voyagers are coming out of this, after all.RiddlerJ wrote:Would anyone be up for Protectabot retools of the combiners:

Actually, there could be a chance for an Abominus and a Piranacon. I would also like a Devastator, Defensor, Bruticus, Computron, and Monstructor set. There can't be two combiners for one mini-Generations series. I don't think.

Just noticed something about the Superion image. He's got two Fireflys (Fireflies?) as his arms, and no trace of Air Raid.

So, Warrior Bumblebee is a heavily retooled Vehicon... Cool!
Also, loving Superion even more now that the individual bots have been revealed. I also appreciate how the combiner ports in their chests were designed to actually blend in and look good. This is exciting.

If some of this were true, I would highly doubt that Motormaster, Breakdown, and Offroad would have retools for Protectobots because they have different alternate modes. If that's not the case, then have the Seacons be a repaint of the Aerialbots.

Fingers crossed, but if they bring in the Rail Racer combiner, we could have a Planes, Trains and Automobiles theme going.
We could have human bystanders who look like John Candy and Steve Martin. It would be *drops to dragon voice* "EPIC!!!"

I would love to see the old team prime with a new designs for the character
