Seibertron.com member jlogano20 dropped by to let us know the second wave of Target exclusive Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Predacons Rising Deluxe featuring Nova Blast Bumblebee has been released. The figure was sighted in upstate New York.

[MGrotusque]

Boring.

[Antron]

What he said.

[Valandar]

And what makes this one different from all the others?

[Autobot032]

Wow. That's uh... Hmm. Vivid. Gonna need a pair of these to keep looking at him.

[ILL-Star]

With this and the Predacons Rising end cap display at the local Target, Cryotek (I don't except that cryofire crap) should be out very soon.

[Mykltron]

ANOTHER BUMBLEBEE?! I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED!!!!




Did I say 'more'? Sorry, I meant the other one.

[TimothyR]

YYYYYYYYYYESSS

this is soooooo much better than getting either a jet vehicon.. or a breakdown.. or a dotm soundwave.. etc.. I'm so psyched for this.

WAY TO GO HASBRO.. GIVING THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT!! HELL YEAH.

it strikes me odd that hasbro thinks people are this stupid..

i can't tell you how many times i've heard a kids parent tell a kid "you already have a bumblebee" .. it's starting to replace the parent's normal "no".

oh well, hopefully hasbro will learn at some point.

it amazes me that there are molds out there that haven't been released in the US that hasbro could give us as store exclusives but just won't. astonishing.

[Goggle Convoy]

Yeah.... No.

I didn't pick up the first BH version of BB and I'm not getting this one either. I'm waiting for the black version coming out in the next deluxe wave, that one looks better to me. I like BB as a character, but all that yellow is starting to make me ill.

[Mindmaster]

Is... is that a repackaging of the first Beast Hunters Bumblebee?

[Slashercon]

It is just...SWELL that we get another Bumblebee repaint. I mean who cares about a repaint for Ripclaw into Serket. GIVE THE FANS WHAT THEY WANT...ANOTHER BUMBLEBEE!!!

[rpetras]

Because what we all really wanted, was ANOTHER Bumblebee repaint.

[Jelze Bunnycat]

Nope, a slight repaint. I don't know about plastic colors, but I see a new deco pattern on the hood.

*EDIT* And some plastic colors have changed as well:

Would it have been too hard for Hasbro to give it a new head, black stripes, and call it Tiger Track instead?

My 6 yr old is tired of seeing Bumblebee on the hooks too. Hasbro does the same thing with the Star Wars line. Rehashes old figures and puts them in new packaging. My son doesn't even want the BH line because of how the characters look. I started him with the DOTM line and he actually prefers the Generations line and the FOC characters. He thinks the BH line is "ugly". We saw Soundwave in the BH line, he asked who it was and then said "ugh." Funny stuff.

[Noideaforaname]

I didn't even know there was a Bumblebee slated for this subline. I guess I should've expected as much.

[Xephon0930]

And not a single **** was given that day.

It would be cool if everyone could take a video of their kids reaction to yet another bumblebee and send it to hasbro so.. Maybe then they'll get the picture.

When will Ryan finally decide to stop reporting Bumblebee news?

[Jelze Bunnycat]

When will Ryan finally decide to stop reporting Bumblebee news?

When either Seibertron.com or Transformers ends . In short, never

Do you realize that the title of that toy is 12 words long? It will take you twelve words to call this toy by it's correct name. 12. Twelllllve words.

It was a jab at 3rd Party news being ignored, partially due to there being too many announcements.

That along with how bad the BH figures look in general compared to the Generations line. BH figures and TFPrime all look like they would snap real easily. Could be just me though.

It's actually 9, 11 if you include "Target Exclusive" For being short but distinct, we only need 3: "Nova Blast Bumblebee"

Honestly, they're not. My PRID Soundwave has a hairline crack in his one foot because he fell 5 feet off of a display onto a hard surface. A lot of figures couldn't handle that.
