The Energon Pub

We have seen many images of prototypes of the Transformers Movie 1970's Camaro Deluxe Bumblebee. Now for the first time an in package picture of the figure has surfaced. Ebay seller lindsey9562 has put up an auction for an in package version of Bumblebee. Here is the photo from the auction:

Sat atop what looks like a washing machine.

I have already warned you once about this. Please do not do it again or you may end up with a formal warning via PM.

I think this is already in the thread about Swindle and Bonecrusher.

Sixth post.........whooo hoooo wow I cant believe on this site I actually got the sixth post, damn I am firing on all cylinders today.

Back to topic, Um..these need to hurry up and come out. btw nice washing machine.

Space invaders need to do laundry too...I mean, have you smelled Donkey Kong's loin cloth lately?

Damnit I wish these figures would hurry up and come out while I still have some money...

Stop spamming.. This is MY warning to you and your second official warning.

And just a note, your first warning is in This post.

I like the alt mode, but that's it.

I think its actually a dryer...

Hey it looks nothing like the movie character - great...

enough with the 70's bumble bee we want the new bumblebee

So, were's Eric, Donna, Kelso, Fes, Jackie and Hyde? XD I want him.

Reximus Prime is right...that is a dryer, not a washing machine.
(No seam along the surface that Bumblebee is resting on.) But more importantly, that is one sweet vehicle mode. Some of you may not appreciate the older style vehicles (like Cybertron Downshift) as much as the new concept cars, but there are a few of us who rather enjoy seeing the cars we grew up with "modified" in a way totally foreign to the era in which they were created. Shoot, for the last 2 years I thought the Alternator line should have steered towards '50's style cars and trucks. That is what Transformers "Classics" should have been in my opinion.

I had this car for real but in white, I gotta bust out my airbrush once I get him.

There is such a thing as front-loading washers, you know. They're a lot more water efficient and less rough on clothes. That being said... it's a dryer. (The big white start button.)

ill get this guy

True enough about the front loading washers. Major appliances are not my specialty and not something I pay much attention to on my many frequent trips thru Home Depot, so I am by no means an expert.
I do however stand by my opinion of the older cars being made into Transformers. Note that it is only just one persons opinion and that this same person (who is also a Hot Wheel Collector) has gone to great lengths to get multiple versions of the Chev. Camaro Concept car in the Hot Wheels line. Just because of the upcoming movie.

Absum, are the front loaders really less rough on clothes? I've had two sets of work pants chewed all to hell in the last 2 weeks and I'm staring to get frustrated.

Also, has anyone heard if there is to be a bigger version of this style of Bumblebee produced or is the deluxe class all that we are going to see of him?

I will be getting this figure but I am still curious to see the new Camaro BB figure. Bring it!

In my experience they are. Especially if you wash heavy clothes or have a habit of overloading. They rely on a tumbler instead of a central agitator so your clothes don't get all tangled or rubbed-up against the agitator. We had a top-loader for a while and it frayed the edges of all my good slacks.

And no, apart from the Ultimate version he's only slated for release as a Deluxe in the primary line. Outside that he's going to be a Fast Action Battler, Legends, Stomper, Slammer, Authentic Action, and Unleashed statuette. He's also supposed to be released in a Deluxe 2-pack with Barricade but whether he's going to be a unique variant is unknown.
