It looks like a new Deluxe Bumblebee repaint is in the works, as Yizhi521 of TF08.net shows us. The alternate mode seems to be slightly altered from it's Revenge of the Fallen version, however there are some changes. If this is to be released in the Revenge of the Fallen toyline, than it will be the third time we've seen Bumblebee in it, following Cannon Bumblebee.

We are unsure at the moment whether the mold is going to be in an exclusive set or released on it's own. The Bumblebee mold was originally released in the 2007 movie, also repainted into Cliffjumper, Stealth Bumblebee, as well as many others. The original link to this information can be found here.

Stay tuned to Seibertron.com for your latest news and updates!

Whoa, it's NEST Bumblebee! Sweet! I don't have an ROTF Bumblebee yet, because I've been looking for a really good one. But this is most certainly the one! Those are c00l colors! Now, is it a repaint of regular Bumblebee or Cannon Bumblebee?

P.S. I don't want Human Alliance Bumblebee...yet. I don't have anyone big for him to be size accurate with, so I'll be waiting until I get Leader Optimus, Voyager Jungle Ironhide (I don't have an ROTF Ironhide, either), Voyager Starscream, and Leader Megatron (hopefully the one with Camshaft). When I get them, I'll probably get Human Alliance Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and maaayyyyybbbbbbeeee Skids.

Lets all chip in, buy the mold, and destroy it.

As much as I like BB, he doesn't need a gajillion repaints!
Where's the new characters?
Look, Hasbro, it's an okay mold, but we need something new!
Where's Flare up? How 'bout Scrapper?

No where. Just more Bee.

Cool what about Recon Bumblebee? They already have the name and this does look like it could MAYBE be recon bumblebee

i want to see how this repaint affects the bot mode. that is, if there is any changes. but from the looks of it, he's still overall yellow

Seems a bit overboard on the BBs...

I'm waiting on a Premium Bee from the US (I'm in the UK). Gonna stick his limbs on ROTF 'bee to get the best of both worlds (ROTFs arm sucks, but has better bodywork in car mode). Will also leave me with interchangeable heads - with or without battlemask

'76 'Bee was a totally unrelated mold, so I didn't count it. But I did forget about Legacy of Bumblebee. Was that a straight up repack of Premium, or were there paint differences? Mine is long packed away.

Minor remold? More like MAJOR remold. The only things that weren't changed were the legs and head.

As for Legacy of BB, it's the normal Premium BB.

Be interesting to see what significant mold changes there are, if any... but still.. I have to concur with the majority of the board so far.. I mean, I know their all different sub-lines and size classes and such... but still..

...he may as well have his own line now :\

You know BB might pull a Mars Attack and use the radio waves to extinguish humans. :-?

While everyone's going on about the zombie apocalypse, nobody cares about the transforming-alien-robot-who-talks-through-a-radio apocalypse. Nobody! Time to get my tinfoil hat.

Remember, if Mel Gibson taught us anything, aliens are afraid of water.
