The Energon Pub

It looks like FC Toys has posted some images of the upcoming Deluxe figures Bumblebee (2008 Camaro version) and Arcee. The images show the front of the card with the mugshots of the characters, as well as the back with photos of the toy and character profile.

The pics are mirrored in a thread by littleiron at TFW2005, which you can see by clicking here

doesnt want to scratch his pain, huh? sounds like sunstreaker.

ooo, def like that bumblebee more than the other. think i may have to get that one instead..only thing i dont like is how the front of the car doesnt seperate like it does in the movie..

It isn't transformed correctly. We have seen pics of the chest peice broken down more accurately.

Still want that bumblebee.

Excellent! '08 Bumblebee doesn't suffer from Jazz Syndrome! (The weapon actually stows inside the vehicle mode, instead of strapping to it. Yay!)

when should these come out?

BB is sweet cant wait to find him. Arcee is ok. All she really is is a remold of the energon design. I may get it just to have another female transformer. But Arcee is a hunter now? wasnt she a gunner or a pilot in G1?

did arcee get repainted i saw movie arcee at target and she was blue whats the deal oh yes does anyone know when we can expect them to be released all except for arcee i dont want her.

Arcee is more than a simple remold. For one she was a basic in Energon. Plus they already did a repaint of the Energon Basic for this line. No this is a completely new mold.

I love the 'keeps his plasma cannon dry' part. I hope Arcee is in the next movie.

Stoked - can't wait to get them

I hope not. At least not without an overhaul. That's just a disturbing look she has.

Why the heck is Arcee's head all uneven? I freakin' hate it!

I am definitely getting 08 Bumblebee now!!

Worst bio ever!

Did I miss something in my days of watching TF as a child. Would a highly evolved, intellengent civilization that require no "food" for sustanance hunt for sport???

OHHH bumblebee is awsome but i will not buy arcee yet I have to get all of the original inside the movie line first.I just got my first movie tf today I got starscream he kicks ass the best starscream ever I will defenately get BB im not to shure about geting the 1970 version.

I guess the english lettering answers my question as to if Arcee and the others will be Japan Exclusives or will they have a wide spread release!

Oh yes, i have to add this version of BB to my collection as well! I love his bio, gives him great character depth. Dont like Arcee though...why the feck do they keep making her as a bike?

Why doesn Siebertron have galleries of this new BB?

well i suppose we all know that Arcee wont be in the second movie. if she was, then they wouldnt have released the toy yet.

Or, the greatest preview figure ever...three years in advance!

The robot mode of 08 Bumblebee is just so much better than his '74 counterpart. Kind of makes you wonder why they bothered with the older version toy since it is so plainly horrible in comparison.

They bothered because it is in the movie and people would and have bought it. And now those same people can give Hasbro even more money for the new mold.

I was hoping that BB's package would say more than his name to identify him as the new '08 version (besides his bio that is). I'll just have to pay extra attnetion to the figure inside the package when looking for him.

Oh I wouldn't worry. There's an extensive difference between the two figures. You can't miss him.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I guess I should rephrase my earlier statement. I'll be able to realize it's a different figure, but parents (and some kids) will not. In short, bad marketing on Hasbro's part.
