But, we didn't need another dang Bumblebee mold.

edit: Place your bets. How many times will it be repainted?

Stealth BB
Faceplate BB
Less-stupid face BB
Electro static modulation circutry BB
Pyromantic oscilation BB
Nightstrike BB
Sam n' Pals BB (with accessories and plastic Shai LeBouf who is actually a better actor than the flesh Shia)
Desert Ambush BB
Jungle BB
Jungle Ambush BB
City Fiesta BB
Flood Damaged Used Car Resale BB
Different Front End Weapon BB
Prestidigitation Expert BB
Primium Paint Job BB

And then, in the thrid quater of 2010, Hasbro will really start to crank out the repaints!

Lol so true!

Noticed ... the traditional Autobot symbol (not the movie styled one), new packaging colors, and the traditional Transformers logo (which appears on the RPMs packaging) instead of the movie styled logo. It's also missing "Revenge of the Fallen". Could this new version of Bumblebee be part of a new line of Transformers? Toy Fair is just around the corner ...

Interesting, this is something to ponder, however, still not interested #-o

stupid BB crap...

On the size, I'm wondering if this is an Ultra class, considering the batteries would imply it's bigger than a voyager. I kinda doubt it actually is leader size. But I doubt even more that it's a new size class. It also doesn't look as poseable as the Human Alliance figure--the legs look stiff, for example.

As for the 0 complexity level, maybe that relates to Transformers RPMs. Perhaps that's Hasbro's new way of explaining that not all "Transformers" brand toys actually transform nowadays. Or it could be a replacement for the level 1 designation on Gravity Bots, which require zero work on your part to "transform."

A class all it's own? Seriously? Although the legs are a huge upgrade from previous versions, this is obviously a human alliance class figure. Look at the chest and lower torso. They are practically identical to the human alliance figure. I hope the ring thing is removable--it looks like crap!

Oh FFS! Really?! ANOTHER freakin' Bumblebee?! Goddammit, Hasbro! Give it up! Stop flogging a dead horse already, it's gonna be mince meat soon!

And in regards to whether the guns might fold down under the bonnet: it doesn't look like it - there's no way that they could fit underneath and there's no cutaway in the bonnet itself to enable that function. It's "I'm trying to be circumspect but failing" Bumblebee.

And what's with the keyring?? Maybe this is actually a really SMALL BB for your keys? :lol:

Meh.

But where da Human? 8-}

Yep, this is the old "Leader Class" mold we saw a while back.

It's a nice toy and all, but Concep Camero BB from 07 was and still is all the BB I need. Still, with all the other goodies coming out, not buying this will save me money for stuff I really want.

The scale though ... movie BB is worse than G1. At least G1 was a combination of different toylines. We have two all-new size classes just for the one character.

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 7:56 pm**

At least it isn't really leader class...but what class is it? The toy looks cool but it most likely will be out of scale so: pass.
Why can't Hasbro just make a leader Blackout instead of a million Bumble bees?

And what's up with that stick connected to a ring on it's arm?

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:20 pm**

Please tell me this is out after Leader SS :sad:

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:21 pm**

The box almost looks like that of a Supreme version to me with the battery info on it-got the same look as the Devastator packaging. It'll be interesting to see what exactly we're dealing with here.

In any case, I just can't get behind yet another version of movie BB.

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 8:38 pm**

I love haveing many incarnations of BB, but a line has to drawin somewhere. Come on Hasbro, enough is enough. HA BB after a few mods is considered to be my own Leader BB. At this point I fell that Hasbro has some unknown creature locked down in the developement level that literally craps out new BB molds.

Enough is enough at this point

The last BB I plan on getting is from that Soundwave/BB Nest 2pk. And the only reasong for tht is I like Soundwave's new deco and being able to score that new Ravage fig.

... What would that entail? Nothing?

Also, they're really flogging a dead horse at this point with Bumblebee - they're past that point even.

In saying that, I'd still like a Bugbite repaint of the deluxe mold.

Lame gravity bots are 0s on all fronts.

as has been said, the kids love 'im. and that includes kids who know the name from animated and see the name in there local target, walmart, etc. Bumblebee = money in the bank and hasbro knows it. I think they even said it at a con or in the Q&As.

Start the Leader Blackout petition. Start the Bumblebee boycott. See if that helps. If it does, I'll eat my uncomfortable boxorbriefs.

Gravity Bots?

I must first start by stating I loathe Bumblebutt. I own 2 of him(Elite Guard Animated & Alternity) I got the Animated for my son and we decided it came apart too easy for him so it's on the shelf, the Alternity is the only one I wanted. This things looks like a PowerBot on crack to me. And he took Bludgeon's spot at the top of the site????? WHY?? why, why.

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 9:06 pm**

BTW...regarding the size speculation, considering s250 said it was leader class and he was right about there being another BB fig to begin with, I'll assume he's also correct about the size class.

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 9:44 pm**

Oh, I see, Battle Ops Bumblebee, not Leader Class Bumblebee, that's okay with me. But seriously, don't we have enough Bumblebee figures already?

No really, I'm perfectly satisfied with my accurately scaled RoTF Deluxe figure...

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 9:48 pm**

*sigh* Do we really need another BB figure?? And whats with the cannon instead of a right hand?Couldn't they make it where the cannon and the hand were on a swivel somehow??Or even a exchangeable hand and cannon?? For us fans that hate cannons for hands? :-x

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 10:20 pm**

BOOO My ultimate BB will kick this one's ass while playin "The Touch" :lol:

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 10:23 pm**

I'm sensing this will be ROTF's Supreme Class OP; a hugely electronic toy, that's complete and utter crap

HASBRO! STOP WITH THE BB'S!!!! It's getting old!!!! Soon there will be more Bumblebee's from the movie lines than there are Optimus Primes from all 25 years of TFs!

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 10:31 pm**

No one see that he has a "energon" claw emerging from his cannon???!!!!

......can we say his is to "fire off his fist" or "blast punch"....
is this a classic (-ly bad) anime tribute (or pun?) ?

Posted: **Wed Jan 20, 2010 11:32 pm**

To quote a podcast that shall remain nameless, "I love Bumblebee!"

But I won't be picking this up.

Posted: **Thu Jan 21, 2010 12:58 am**

Im getting sick of all the damn bumblebees, how many we up to now in the ROTF line 50? I am interested to see if this is a new figure class though. And i fear for this "pull ring" gimmick.

Posted: **Thu Jan 21, 2010 1:28 am**

We can whine all we want... this is going to sell more than the Leader Optimus Prime...
