Site sponsor Bigbadtoystore has updated their pre-order listings for Golfire Grimlock and Hydrodive Bumblebee with images! Golfire Grimlock is almost entirely gold and could possibly pass as a Lucky Draw figure while the new Hydrodive Bumblebee comes with a blue submarine/plane accessory that not only attaches in robot mode, but can also fit Bumblebee in car mode inside aswell!

That new mould Bumblebee looks awesome. That definity justifies the raise price.

I wonder what the idea behind Grimlock is supposed to be.

The Bumblebee looks pretty cool, but not a lot better than the Activator. And if it's $20, I probably wouldn't pay that for him and the accessory. Course that's just first impression from one early pic, might want to see more.

Hydrodive BB looks cool! I don't care for the BB Deluxe mold, but I'll get that version!

The gold Grimy is cool, too, but I wouldn't want him unless they make gold versions of Swoop and Snarl too.

My wallet hates to see me say it, but I like them both. Didn't think I would be buying a Grimlock repaint, but at first glance, I really like the scheme. Hopefully this will change so I can save some cash.

grimmy looks cool and bumblebee looks to be a new mold but that plane thing that he comes with looks kinda dumb. I'll pass on both of em.

Interesting. I would have preferred a blue Grimlock ala G2. But not too bad. though i think I'll pass.

BB on the other hand, I think the Hidro pack is very cool. And seemingly makes the figure a Voyager judging by the price, unlike Prowls armor.
Though it looks like BB is not the deluxe version but rather an Activator sized one.

Which would probably mean this thing should be at most 15.99 not Voyager priced.

I'm guessing there will be a story connection to this in show. BB needs to go into Lake Michigan to find a piece of the Allspark or something, so he gets this thing built for him, by someone.

Grimlock looks cool but i already have the first one and the activator so i dont think ill be getting that one. As for bumblebee ill have to see it in person. It looks like a new mold but im not sure if the sub thing justifies the price.

Pass on the Grimlock repaint, but I really like the new BB. My only gripe would be that as a stand alone figure BB looks great, but with this most likely being Voyager size he will be even more out of scale than he was before. Plus it's yet another BB, I know he is a popular character and all, but I'm just getting "BB'd out". I did go ahead and preorder him though.

After seeing the picture I am going to take a shot in the dark here and guess that the Grimlock repaint is Goldfire Grimlock rather than Golfire. Regardless, I require it and BB for my collection. On an unrelated note I am new and this is my first post. :grin:

So, there's Goldfinger Grimlock and BBee has a sub that looks like it came from a Bond movie... I see a pattern there.

Don't know if I will -get- it, but seeing that Hydrodrive BB is more than just a third repaint restores some of my faith in Hasbro. A little. It's like a supersized Actionmaster or something.

Welcome, friend. That gold Grimlock is the most beautiful figure i have seen in a while. I promised myself I wasnt going to buy a repaint of a figure I already have in this line like I continuosly did in Cybertron, but I cant help it. But to bumblebee's new accessory: WTF.

That's it, the Animated toy line just jumped the shark with these repaints. Grimlock is only slightly strange but that submarine BB is just weird. Big pass.

Personally, I think Scuba Steve looks kinda poor with his scuba suit on. I like that BB on his own. What I do like on the sub thingy is that BBs rockets are used as turbines.

Golfire Grimlock looks like something out of a good dream, so me thinks' I'll be picking him up.

I'll prolly buy Scuba Steve too, but I'll wait for it to go on sale.
