The Energon Pub

Another day, another Bumblebee. A couple of days ago, we brought you the bio for Cyberfire Bumblebee. Now we have a toy image to go with the bio. This is not the legends class Cyberfire Bumblebee, this is a repaint of the DOTM deluxe mold. TFW_2005 member len_d69 has shared an image from the limited Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Toy Guide Book that was distributed freely with a purchase of RM200 or more. It features a yellow and black flame deco and red windows tinted windows with the same MechTech weapon as DOTM Bumblebee.

hasbro are so stupid, they must know we are sick of getting Bumblebees and that we want different figures to be leader class and stuff, what is this? whats the point of this figure?

to be honest, fromthe pic, he ACTUALLY looks like the first movie bee i think is not bad... interesting colour scheme, and the right porpotions and articulation... i dont plan to pick it up ever, but so far this is the first one to have me, of all people, saying it looks aight.

Kids, or the collectors, that's the question...

I hope you both realise it's a repaint of the first DotM Bumblebee.

Jealous of Optimus Prime's paint job, Bumblebee got himself repainted to look just like him.

Griffin, site admin of the Australian fan site Ozformers, has posted scans from a DotM Guidebook and was given away as a freebie at a Melbourne TRU pre-launch event. This guidebook is also the source of the Deluxe Cyberfire Bumblebee image that appeared ealier. In additional to the aforementioned Bee, the book also reveals a previously unseen Cyberverse Optimus Prime figure. This version features two energon blades, shoulder cannons, and new deco. A few of the images have been mirrored below, to view all the 32 pages worth of official photos and bios click here!

He also reports having already purchased DOTM Deluxe wave three. Not unusual since they often get figures at retail ahead us, but this does confirm the contents of wave three: Laserbeak, Mudflap, Nitro Bumblebee, and Thundercracker. Since wave one and two have already made appearances at our local retail, hopefully we won't have a long wait before we see these guys on the pegs.

Man, I'm really liking Hatchet! I'd like to see more pics of him.

Exactly what size is "Commander Class" anyway? Scout-ish? I'm trying to guess by the level of detail/articulation on each figure, but I'm still not sure.

Hatchet is probably going to find his way onto my shelf. The rest are of no interest to me.

That Commander Class Prime looks cute with his tiny swords.

They're somewhere between Legends and Scouts.

Aw, I go by a strict 'no repaints' rule, but one Cyberverse Optimus has two swords (and no flames?) and the other has the trailer. Decisions, decisions...

I don't know if I'll get Cyberfire BB, but the paint job actually looks kind of cool. I had already been thinking of getting Nitro BB, since I love the BTTF styling, and I don't know if I want two BB repaints. I'll just wait and see what I think when there are better pictures.

by **MINDVVIPE** » Sat May 14, 2011 3:28 pm

I meant Cyberfire BB... I dont know what remold thats from, but in that pic it looks not bad... esp with the paintjob adding something extra to it.

I even repeated that on the first page.

It's just DOTM Deluxe 'Bee with new paint. Even their weapons are the same.

It great that we can finally see some of the future waves for this line (considering that this is all that we're going to get for a while). It's too bad that it seems they are just mostly repaints (in the deluxe line). Personally, I wish there were some more original molds in the line (especially wish Sideswipe would get a new one or at least use the Sidearm mold). But Hatchet (in the commander class) looks kinda neat (that is the Voyager class right?). So far it seems that I'm only going to get 2 or 3 from this line, it seems kinda boring I-)

First of all, Commander Class is Cyberverse, and are inbetween Legends and Scouts in size. And Sideswipe is a new mold altogether, check the galleries.

Ty for the clarification. I had forgotten the Sideswipe had a new deluxe mold. I guess the way they transformed him in the picture just made me think it was the old mold, my mistake :oops:

I really hope it turns out as a good figure, I like the whole Jet to Beast spin, don't see that executed too often.

deluxe Jolt looks pretty rad, but i don't want to open the floodgates just yet on that. I know if i buy him, I'll start on a downward spiral and start getting them all, and i do not want to have a repeat of RotF! I must say, Hatchet is a must have, goddamn that thing is gorgeous!
