iGear have updated their facebook page with images of a couple of upcoming repaints of their MW-02 and Bee molds. The MW-02 repaint comes in black and red giving it a Road Ranger appearance in vehicle mode, but lacks he orange one would expect to see in robot mode if that's the homage they were going for. The Bee mold is being repainted to resemble Herbie the Love Bug. Images mirrored below.

Not really feeling the love for evil Rager. Don't hate it. Just don't want it.

Herbee looks downright evil with those eyes.

What are everyone's thoughts on whether iGear will give us a Mini Warriors Bumblee and Cliffjumper? Or do you think they'll say that the variations of this Bee figure are it?

I'm so digging Road Ranger and will get him when the pre-orders are ready. I had to pass up Rager for this one cause what is there not to like, seriously...? As for this new Bee repaint I don't hate it but I don't dig it either. IMO it would have looked much better with black windows. Well then there it is! :VEHI:

C'mon y'all don't hate, you know Herbie is extra fresh.

I like the Huffer repaint, I do..but I was hoping to at least see a Cosmos prototype before a repaint.

So iGear first steals an original Hasbro mold then turns it into a Volks Wagon then turns it into a Disney character? Guys, I think their actively trying to get sued out of business! :shock:

Seriously, pissing off 3 separate multinational multibillion dollar companies has never fit in the palm of your hand so easily before!

I suspose herbie bee is great for those that like transformers colored & decorated in other movies characters. this isn't for me,because i'm not a herbie the love bug fan. I saw some of the old school movies & didn't like them.

I'm only willing to shell out the big bucks for 3rd parts toys that are voyager,ultra or leader size or supreme size.

What would be better, is a White Bumblebee with optional Herbie stickers, This would satisfy both Bugbite and Herbie fans.

When/where can i get that love bee??!! The 53 on the hood should be a lil lower to match original movie( Looks like 97 tv movie version. Which was better than "Fully loaded" and plot wise best sequel.With higher production values and a theatrical release it would have been way better.)Hopefully they'll make more with models like the one with side stripes ( one of the "good" addition from FL, the other being the 200mph speedometer.)

I normally despise Legends for the cheapness in this day and age but I kind of like this Bugbite repaint. The Herbie homage is well done but the bot mode just makes me see Bugbite which I think is a good thing.

Something about Rager's head says toon Motormaster to me. Pity he doesn't have purple windows. Be nice to see a downgraded Motormaster among a few Scout Stunticons eager for payback. Plus I like the idea of MM having an independant cab since Marvel UK 289 and the last Earthforce story.
