I didn't bought much SS cars. For the few I got, SS 2007 Jazz is on the top of my list. It's so close to a mini MP if it weren't for the impossibility to tuck in the backpack further in such a tiny package.

07 Jazz is the best deluxe of the line so far, I love that toy so much. He is my favorite figure of the line too!

Your work continues to look great as always EM-Bee! Scrapper looks sharp!

I also realized that despite Stinger and Lockdown getting new molds, with Evasion mode Bee just getting a re-release, I am uncertain if any eventual Galvatron will be a new mold or a repainted re-release. I hate that they are just doing a re-release, that design needed a new mold.

SS-49/74 Bumblebee easily takes the top spot for me, DOTM Ratchet and Sideswipe are up there too.

76 Bee and Jeep Bee are both also really good.

So I managed to find High Octane Bee and Stinger 2 pack at Target yesterday. I wasn't collecting the movie line figures back during AoE or the beginning of SS, so both the figures were new to me (although I already have KSI Sentry) and much cheaper than trying to find Stinger on his own, so I was glad to find the 2-pack.

But man, what an insult to bayverse fans to just re-release the AoE mold. It is insulting to the SS line with the primitive engineering. Nothing sticks out worse than the stupid missile launcher. Car mode does look badass, so I can give it props there, but that is about it.

No regrets buying it as I wanted a Stinger anyway, and this was like getting one cheaper than eBay and getting a bonus (not that great) figure for free. But what a waste of a non-SS86 slot for this instead of something else/better.

Age of Extinction figures were REALLY subpar, in my opinion. The only good thing to come out of it was Evasion Mode Optimus Prime and some dinobots. I feel it was a sort of transitional period where production costs were going up, but Hasbro hadn't decided to downscale the figures yet. So you end up having these figures with WAY simpler engineering than any previous movie line, even 2007, and look very cheap on top of it because of the lack of paint.

Transformers Studio Series Thrust Available Online + Found with Wreck-Gar in US Stores

Postby william-james88 » Tue Aug 03, 2021 3:59 pm

Motto: "'till All Are One"
while some fans are upset at Transformers Studio Series thrust for not being red, Armada fans are pleased with the homage. Plus, this is a different thrust from either, being part of the Bumblebee movie and not being a conehead, but having a triangle placed behind his head instead. If you do want him, the toy is now available to ship from Target.com, this is the link:
https://www.target.com/p/transformers-s ... A-79773877

We thank TF-fan kev777 and D-Maximus Primal for letting us know. The toy was also found, along with his wavemate Wreck-Gar, on shelves at Walmarts in Missouri and Louisianna, among other places. The photo below comes from Starscream229

This is actually even worse than the original AoE release. They changed up the plastic colors and made things worse! I was checking mine against the AoE deluxe gallery here and for AoE, they used 4 plastic colors, clear, black, yellow and dark grey. For this release the changed the missile from black to yellow and made most of the grey parts black, making things even more bland. On top of that, they skipped out on the silver paint on his toes, and it wouldn't surprise me if they skipped another paint detail or 2 somewhere.

That's because it's not a reissue of the vanilla AOE High Octane Bumblebee, but specifically a reissue of the slightly redecoed version of High Octane Bumblebee that was instead included with the Bumblebee Evolution 2-pack with Movie 1 1977 Camaro Bumblebee and AOE 2017 Camaro Bumblebee, both of which were also slightly redecoed from their original releases.

Thanks, that makes sense. Oddly enough that 3-pack keeps coming up on a target search on me, yep that's the deco. Man it is even worse than the vanilla original release deco-wise.

Argh, bummer on more paint and plastic type confirmations on High Octane Bee. He really needed a new mold, why did they have to reuse that one? That might be the weakest Bee figure I own.

I hope my thrust actually arrives. Mine shipped yesterday at 7am, but as of right now, it still only shows "label created", making me fear an issue

Car mode is nice on High Octane Bee, I will give it that, that that is about all that is nice.

I got a Fedex tracking number earlier today for my Thrust but is also just in the label created status. Fingers crossed. I like that mold more than I thought I would.

I wouldn't have been entirely opposed if it was just for Buzzworthy, but the fact that it is a numbered release with (presumably) a repack in the mainline coming up is just terrible. It's a really cool and unique design for movie Bee, but it seems like it'll never have a good figure. . .

I've been tempted to paint my HO Bee since it's really lacking, but I really think that mold is just not worth painting.

I recently sold my original High Octane Bee on Ebay, and while I don't plan on getting the re-issue, it's a shame they didn't at least spruce it up a bit with some paint on the lower torso and legs.

No, Movie the Best did not have High Octane Bumblebee. Just DOTM, TLK, and normal AOE Bumblebee.

And a new mini-figure that came with AOE Strafe.

I got my SS Thrust tonight, and I figured I'd give some quick thoughts on him.

first off, the robot mode is gorgeous. I love the Blitzwing gas-mask head, it looks so great on the mold, and the new conehead piece is really sweet. It adds new character to a familiar mold. Mind you, it does inhibit head articulation, rendering side to side views pretty non-existent.

The colors on this are also really nice. The greens are a good contrast to the creamy color, and it is spaced out enough to be very effective. Outside of the limited head articulation and the gun needing a longer handle to be held proper, I have no complaints about the robot mode.

Image

Transformation is the same as Starscream, but you have to be a bit careful with the new cone, it gets in the way a little bit, but it's not too hard to work around. Alt mode is similarly nicely done and colored, and the greens with the yellow cockpit really shine here. It's just a lot of fun.

Image

In conclusion, if you like the Bumblebee movie, you like Armada Thrust, or you just like fun transformers, get this guy. He is well worth your effort. He's really cool.

I lucked into the Barricade and Bumblebee set yesterday! This makes me very happy since I now only need 2 regular release SS figures: DotM Ratchet and 2007 Starscream! This set in particular will remain in vehicle modes on the shelves, and the rotary weapon on Barricade will go to my first one so he can dual wield.

Also of note, new Barricade lacks the "To Punish and Enslave" slogan on the side.

Also, mid-transformation seeker is hilarious
