Amazingly engineered!
I´ll just wait till I see they manage to give us a good Bulkhead, then I´ll go oficially nuts for Prime

Bumblebee really does have some broad shoulders but that is okay because he still looks wayy better than his DOTM counterpart.

I actually like both his TFP alt and bot mode better than the Bayverse ones.

I've a sinking feeling that the TFP line is going to produce better figs than DOTM, unless they come up with some pretty awesome leader class toys for OP, Megs, and Shockwave.

The foot kibble is a bit much for me. It looks like the back of the alt mode simply is divided up into two big chunks, one for each foot. Other than that, it looks like a nice toy. As a BB fan, I'm ready to love this toy but I'm going to reserve further judgment until we see more photos, particularly non-photo shopped photos, which I'm so very tired of. I want to see the actual toy we'll be buying without any touch ups.

I am digging that.. SOLD.

Ugh, I will NEVER like the aesthetic of this thing. Still, out of all of the Prime figure line up he probably is the second best looking so far.

Hmm this toy might make me break my "No More Bumblebee" toy buying rules.

Im not liking it...

Not animated enough to be animated...

Not movie enough to be movie...

I dont blame Hasbro for making the toys. I blame the artists for choosing this concept. I will give it a chance when I have time to watch the series. But it better be a damn good story without dumb humor that was the staple of the animated series.

Back in 1984, I was a kid too. I was fine with G1 not having any stupid humor. If you prefer your Transformer cartoons to resemble ninja turtles, so be it. But I remember the good old days before censorship began. When toy guns didnt have stupid orange tips. When characters actually used their weapons to hurt the enemy. When enemies actually threw real insults at each other on the battlefield instead of puns. And yes I was a kid when this went on. If I ever have a kid I want him to expierence what I did as a child and not this watered down sissy stuff society has imposed on us.

No disrespect, just speaking my mind.

Wait...G1 didn't have stupid humor? A Mayan girl trying to set up Bumblebee with her family's convertible isn't stupid humor? There we definitely stupid humor in G1. it was a kids show after all...it just didn't seem stupid to us because..well, we were kids. Perspective is everything.
