Okay, so it looks like the reason Black Bee's wheels are yellow is because they literally just switched which molds they poured the black and yellow plastics into. Since the black wheels were previously on the same sprue as Bee's other black parts, when you make those parts yellow, the wheels go with them.

I may consider getting Grimlock and I think that the Beemobile is neat.

I will probably put sharpie on either just the rims or just the tires so I can have either:

Black rims but yellow tires.

or

Yellow rims and black tires.

Which one do you think is better guys?

Black tires, yellow rims.

Why the ones responsible for coloring at HasTak keep confusing "gold" with goddamn BUTTERSCOTCH? #-o

Close enough.

Probably the best we can get otherwise we get that cheap stuff they use on metallic figures.
figures.

That's what I was thinking.

But here in Canada some car stores
stores/garages sell colored tires believe it or not.

Not a huge amount of them but they exist.

Was going to say the same thing. I guess it's looking a little more bronze than usual, but I'd rather have this than cheap yellow chrome.

And that said, this is definitely the Robot Gojira I've been waiting for.

Yellow tyres. :APPLAUSE:

Wow, those yellow tyres really make that Bumblebee look like a poundstore knock off.

The Grimlock is hugely improved with the new colour scheme and the only one of the RID figures I'd be even remotely interested in buying (though the dino mode looks bit too goofy)

If the alternative is figures that crumble to pieces in five years then I'll take the butterscotch.

Oh, right, totally forgot I saw Jazz and Sideswipe at Walmart last weekend. They're definitely out there.

I wonder how long to get that Grimlock repaint in legion class. :grin:

I dig that Grimlock repaint, but that's probably just the nostalgia talking.

You arent deterred by the negative reviews?

Would you settle for the one step? That's the only other class with that deco confirmed so far.

I actually like the new Bumblebee, yellow tires and all. My one big problem with Bumblebee toys is that he is usually cast in a very pale yellow which tends to look cheap and which makes any lack of detailing very apparent. The color swap actually fixes that problem.

If I see him on sale, I'd consider grabbing him.

That's how the Dinobot mode looks in the show.

I think Green and black is better then the boring grey and gold colors that people love for whatever reason.

Grimlock's gold looks exactly like a common LEGO color called Pearl Gold. Just thought I'd bring that up.
Also not only are Bumblebee's sprues reversed, but his paint masks are too :lol:

Only in car mode. Surprisingly the new figure has a new pattern on his chest and they painted more of his upper arms than they did the original.
