Thanks to The Family Room we have our first look at Bumblebee's new onscreen appearance for this season of Transformers Prime Beast Hunters. As you can see in the image and video below he isn't sporting his Beast Hunters armor, but he does have a stylish new black paint job. Check him out below.

Transformers Prime Beast Hunters debuts March 22nd!

Though not exactly the same deco, this makes me glad I went for the Shadow Strike repaint.

[DEMEXICONZ]

I knew it they where only gonna use the armor gimmik to sell more toys!!

[griftimus prime]

booooooooooooo what a failed promotion of the toys.

[optimuscarlos]

I am glad they are not using the crappy spined designs.
I decided not to buy the redeco toys, even thinking that they will be on the show. Now that I see they are not appearing makes me feel more comfortable with my choice.

[Wigglez]

I think he looks pretty sweet after with the new paint.

[VirusCarnage]

I love how bumblebee looks, I may actually buy his BH toy now lol

[Sodan-1]

While it admittedly wasn't a good look, we saw a glimpse of 'Bee's new colours in the trailer from a few days back.

Am I the only one who spotted that?

I heard other people saying that but originally I thought it was just the shadow from the tree.

I suspect this will be his very temporary 'hiding out' deco from going into hiding from the Decepticons and that he'll get the same 'spikey' treatment when all of the others (starting with Optimus Prime probably) get their makeovers.

I believe we will see the wild, spikey decos in the show, but not until the Autobots come out of hiding after gathering back together with a 'plan to fight back' (i.e. upgrading to their new, more 'battle ready' spikey forms).

[MGrotusque]

Put BB aside for a minute. That's a really sweet paint job for that car. I really like the dark accent orange on the rocker panel. It's a solid colorways if you ask me.

As for BB, he looks waaay better predominantly black with yellow accents in bot mode than the other way around.

I believe it is a successful redeco.

[Fires_Of_Inferno]

Hm, looks alright on the show, I hate the look on the figure though. I decided I'm going to grab the spiky Bumblebee, I like the look of those guys. If they come out with a armored spiky Bulkhead in the Voyager scale, I'm gonna grab that too, mostly because I have the BH Wheeljack and having the two Wreckers look like Mad Max vehicles just seems right to me, and I just like the look of the BH Bumblebee.

Here's what the disclaimer says:

"Experience the 2013 Bumblebee on the Hub every Friday at 7:30 Eastern, 4:30 Pacific. The new episodes will blow your mind with the new looks and new characters and just wait until you see the Predacon! There are some amazing episodes, folks, and you won't want to miss them. Performance may vary from "Incredible to Awesome."



Hmmm...well I originally had given up on the 'Bots getting upgrades in the actual show except for Optimus. This makes me believe that they will since it says "new looks." Also, this promo along with the longer tv spot with Bulkhead narrating seems to scream we'll be getting several brand new Autobots to join Team Prime! I'm very excited for the premier!!

[Manterax Prime]

Just recently purchased Shadow Strike BB from Emgo316!

[Sabrblade]

Looks nice, but odd, considering there's no Deluxe toy of this deco.

yet. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Cybertronus]

Oh boy here we go again. I used to love Bumblebee ever since the G1 cartoons but nowadays I can't stand him anymore. Please stop with the redecos. How about instead of making so many Bee's with different paintjobs, you use all of that plastic to make some new CLassic/Universe (whatever)characters without the hollow gaps?

[Rated X]

Why cant Hasbro create a movie or cartoon where Bumblebee finally gets killed off ?

[VirusCarnage]

They can't even kill off Ironhide without people whining about it but since the live action movies Bumblebee has become almost as big as Optimus, so killing off Bumblebee would be hard.

I would like for him to be killed off but in reality it probably won't happen.

[Sabrblade]

Is that a trick question?

[krt515]

I like that he has changed his look some! Bee is supposed to be a scout and scouts should blend in...well, as much as a black and yellow muscle car can! I don't know about killing off Bee, he seems pretty popular with younger veiwers and fans. I have always liked the character, he's a nice counter to Optimus' serious leader persona. I just wish he'd go back to talking with words, the beeps and squawks is getting old.

[Optimizzy]

Im gonna go on record to say I actually like this look for BB much better than the "original" look. He just looks so much cooler.

Agreed I think it looks much more sharp then the original.

[MightyMagnus78]

I just picked up the Cyberverse figure in this deco for my son, at the same time picking up a Shadow Strike Bee for me.

[XDMan]

Bumbleblack? Hey, nice paint job there, but looks like Takara was right: TF GO! is not part of the Prime series after all...so does this mean the BH toys should be their Cybertronian modes? And get BB's voice back, Dan isn't happy that we got a Bumblebummer instead of a Bumblebee!
