Thanks to a new order page on
3000 Toys, we have news that Jada is putting out 2 new 1/24 scale Transformers cars, both based on Live Action Bumblebee!
These 2 new die cast cars are based on Bumblebee and his 2 different appearances in the 2007 Live Action film. The first is based on his 1977 Chevy Camaro mode, all the way down to the rough details and body work he had in that mode, and the second his based on his newer 2006 Camaro self that he scanned halfway into the film. Both vehicles are equipped with real life details, including opening hoods, trunks, and doors, and have complete interior work too. Both also come with Bumblebee's robot mode engraved on the bottom, much like the RPM figures of years past, though oddly both feature his 2006 Camaro robot mode.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of these new die dudes below!

Is it just me, or does the '77 look...off? It's like the front and sides hang lower than they're supposed to...

It looks like the front is a bit too tall, I think it is that lower valence on the front

so let me get this straight.
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BUMBLEBEE MOVIE RIGHT?
since it was confirmed that Bee in the movie will be a Voltswagon beetle and not a camaro

Bumblebees are like cockroaches. They will survive armegedon and exist for eternity. Its not surprising to see another swarm is coming.

If someone could snag one G1 prime for me, I would be very happy.

Dang, I was hoping it would be a bigger size, more like the $20 size releases. It still is a good looking Optimus though.

Dang. I thought he was the 1:24 scale. Jada has done an amazing job on those. This looks really awesome, but unless I chance on it in stores, I'll probably pass.

Eh, for $7 I guess it makes for an interesting Action Master, but it's not for me.

So the final version shortened the stacks? Probably for the best, those long stacks are loooong. Or are these two different vehicles?

"Prime frozen in carbonite"
I do like this model though, and the ability to pull Prime's trailer is a bonus. For 7$, it's fine

Do you spend a lot of time just staring at semi trucks counting the number of bars they have on the sides?
There you go, three bars on one side, and I didn't even have to look that hard.

Brahs I put a vid up a week ago, includes a detail comparison to G1 Encore Prime. First vid that pops up in YT search for "jada toys g1 optimus prime"
Personally, I thought it compared pretty well and could do the job as fill in display, if it was not for the trailer hitch differences.

Thanks to Seibertron.com podcasters xRotorstormx and megatronus, from two separate areas of the United States, we have some officially Transformers licensed Jada Toys news to share: the sighting of the Hollywood Rides Volkswagen Bumblebee RC toy!
Coming from both Michigan and Manhattan, and both found at Costco (including on the online store
here) for $49.99, the toy is an RC 1:12 VW bug with monster truck wheels for all terrains. We knew of the Camaro Bumblebee and the Optimus Prime truck from previous
stories, but this one is relatively out of nowhere. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think!

I so want it-and to actually use it.
There is a 5% "non-member" fee if you don't have a Costco membership, but regular shipping is only $1.99.
I saw the other day at Target they had the Jada R/C Bumblebee Camaro in stock, and on the shelf right above Jada also makes a totally not Bumblebee plain yellow R/C Camaro.

To me this looks like they just had the mold laying around and didn't know what to do with it so just said "**** it" and used it for this

Is this just a repackage of the previous release with a coin included? Because I've had that 2006 Camaro concept sitting on my desk for at least a year now, I'd guess.
