Though we've seen Peaugh's video reviews of Optimus, Smolder and Bombshock this is the first video we've seen of Battleblade Bumblebee.

Not true. Peaugh also did a video of Hasbro & Takara versions of Animated Blackout quite some time ago.

Thank you for keeping us on our toes! Editing now for great justice.

But what Peaugh didn't notice is the articulated eyebrows.

It's completely ridiculous, but yeah, that honestly did make me want the figure. Sadly, BBTS' preorder is sold out. #-o

Is it confirmed that Hasbro will release Animated Blackout, Rodimus, and the rest of the unreleased figures here in the States? I have placed preorders for the Takara versions but will cancel them if that's the case.

Battleblade Bumblebee looks like a great figure. I'm not a fan of the movie BB design but I love the HA BB toy. I thought it would be the only movie BB toy I'd have but the Deluxe Battleblade BB toy has won me over and will be my second movie BB figure for sure.

Not confirmed, but some have been suggested. I believe we've already seen stock photos of Rodimus and Voyager Thundercracker, possibly Blackout but I can't quite remember. I think I remember mention of Rodimus & Ironhide being released as exclusives in the fall. But as far as I know, there's no official release date yet.

I didnt watch the power core combiners, but the rest of these look freking awesome! That Bumblebee is THE ultimate bumblebee! Every weapon from the game and movie (except for the shoulder cannons) and That Black out, Ive seen reviews of him before, but he has a poseable eyebrow! ZOMG! I saw a review of WFC Optimus too, but I still want him.
