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.
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.TF-fan kev777 wrote:Rtron wrote:Age of Extinction figures were REALLY subpar, in my opinion.

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.

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

No, Movie the Best did not have High Octane Bumblebee. Just DOTM, TLK, and normal AOE Bumblebee.-Kanrabat- wrote:Munkky wrote: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.
Already done in Takara's MB line.
And of course, it's worth a fortune.
