Nice find there.
I still think BB is ugly painted black instead of being black plastic.

I normaly skip repaints, but I'm getting that BB.

Plus since it's a retool, I feel almost justified in doing so.

I'm skipping the Savage repaint though.

Weapon: Diffraction Sword
I'm confused. Why is he priced at 19.99? Isn't he a repaint/remold of a deluxe class figure?

Front paged and credited!

Both look really nice, and I'm surprised at how good Bumblebee looks in black - very sharp, and I love the battle mask (better than his normal head even!)

thanks for sharing those detailed pictures! bumblebee looks fantastic. one of my only gripes with the original was with the face (i thought it was...unattractive), and now it's been fixed!

i just hope he won't be as hard to find as bb was. Only seen concept bb in my area twice ever.

Concept Camaro would have looked awesome in completely Black. Instead of retaining yellow stripes, which makes it look like a kiddie toy car.

But the robot mode is awesome. I like to get a close up look of the battle mask. Is it detachable?

So Sparkplug turned from an oil rig expert into a salvage guy? Sheesh! Now that's a character for you.

Salvage looks quite good. It's painted! Advantage of a shiny realistic look. Disadvantage of flaking or rubbing off in the future.

Well, can't have your cake and eat it too.

That's not Hasbro pricing. BigBadToyStore is known to charge higher than regular price. Most often twice or more, if it's a hot item.

Am I the only one who doesn't like BBs new head? It appears to have that dumb allspark blue in the eyes and in every picture I've seen it appears that the head has a natural lilt like Armada Nemesis Prime. It also looks to me to be poorly sculpted and or assymetrical but it could be me.

If BB's eyes are painted with Allspark blue, does this mean no more light piping? :(

Stealth whatever aside, seems like this just gives Hasbro a semi-passable reason to make a two tone figure with virtually no other detail.

I might get him though, if nothing else for his head, and the beginnings of a cool Concept Camaro Knightrider KITT. Headless by that point. :wink:

Salvage looks horrid in those colors.
