Seibertronians, we've got something interesting for you, courtesy of our own ScottyP. While everyone's looking towards Amazon today, I'd like to re-direct your attention for a moment to Ebay. A user there by the name of protoprimex, a seller who seems to mainly deal in Transformers, listed this, a Transformers RPM Bumblebee in a new deco that was exclusive to the Hasbro Employees of 2009, up for sale.

We assume this was for a holiday promotion within the company, due to the winter-themed printing on the backing card. It also potentially lists out the departments this exclusive bug was sent to, or the subject matter the company worked on that year, on the back of the packaging:

Thanks for all your hard work!
Brand Creative Studios, Corporate Communications, Corporate Shows, Design & Development, Digital Media, Engineering, Finance, Global Brand Marketing, Global Consumer Insights, Hasbro Far East, Integrated Marketing Services, Legal, Model Services, Operations, Quality Assurance, Sales & Marketing, Senior Management, Uproar!

If you want to own a rare piece of Transformers merchandise, the auction is still open until Friday, the 15th of June, at 6:45 PST, and it's going for the reasonable price of $53.71 USD.

What are your thoughts on the Deco? Do you like it more or less than the Hasbro Version? Did you place a bid? Did you end up winning the auction and purchasing it? Please let us know!

And, of course, keep your optics and audio sensors tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest Transformers news.

It's been so long since i've thought about these. This is what, the sixteenth Bumblebee RPM? It's actually rather pretty.
