Features

When SOUNDWAVE discovered the human operatives of the N.E.S.T. Global Alliance tracking him with their primitive radar, he decided to take care of the intrusion personally. He plummets through the atmosphere, his wings glowing red from the heat of reentry. Little does he know, however, that the humans’ primary defender — BUMBLEBEE— waits below him, his cannons charged, and eager for a fight. Get the battle started with this two-pack of metal-minded warriors! Your sinister INFILTRATION SOUNDWAVE figure definitely looks like he’s got what it takes to win the conflict — especially after you convert him to satellite mode and launch his RAVAGE projectile accessory. But when he’s up against your mighty BATTLEFIELD BUMBLEBEE figure the playing field levels and it’s anybody’s fight! Convert your AUTOBOT hero to Camaro concept car vehicle mode and use its pop-out cannon accessories to give your DECEPTICON fighter a taste of his own medicine. Who’ll win? Only you can decide!

Two-pack of special edition figures includes a BATTLEFIELD BUMBLEBEE character that converts from robot mode to Camaro concept car mode with pop-out cannon accessories and an INFILTRATION SOUNDWAVE figure that converts from robot mode to satellite mode with a launching RAVAGE projectile accessory.

Figures come with mission guide.

Ages 5 and up.

I really hate the red on Soundwave and need another Bumblebee like a hole in the head, but I cant resist the blue paintjob. And the price for the nemesis set was not worth 2 voyager figures I already had. And then I can get my red Ravange LOL. Why must they use all thia damn red paint ??? it screws up the figures making them look too comic book like...

This is the bumblebee ive been holding out for. I love the fact that it has two normal hand. :APPLAUSE:

The soundwave isn't bad. I dont have a ROTF soundwave so i'll take it. And i guess the red paint on him sort of goes along with recon ravage. Still looks bad though.

This bumblebee is a repaint of Cannon Bumblebee, available as a carded single figure. The price on this set is pretty good! I might get it...

Yeah you are right, but if i remember right the original cannon bumblebee didnt have the battle mask. Without the mask, I think the ROTF bumblebee looks like a pansy :wink:

Oh how i love that red on Soundwave. The best repaint next to the G1 ofcourse. He looks so awsome with those colors, almost makes me forget its a bad figure. This really does have a pretty good price. But i don't really want a BB or a rotf Soundwave or rotf ravage. Thats wierd that some people can not like that sweet sweet repaint of Soundwave.

I bought this in a store tonight.

Is there any need for pictures?

Hasbrotoyshop.com has this available as well

In addition, voyager Bludgeon and Recok Ironhide are up too, without the preorder status.

I really somehow have lost the urge to hunt anymore, so I guess paying for shipping doesn't really bother me in the least bit. (hell, I'd probably run through a tank of gas hitting most of the stores around here}

Okay, I just bought this set(like literally, an hour ago) and upon opening it, I noticed that the patch and the sticker weren't present. Has anybody else got this box with the same problem? It was still sealed up nicely and everything, so I don't think it's been opened before.

Did you buy it in the states? To my knowledge this isn't available outside of the US.

yeah I bought it at a walmart in Tennessee. They had another one that was open, so I grabbed the unopened one. Hoping they have more tomorrow.

Then it's most likely someone got the set, removed the inards, sealed it up tight again, and returned it.

Just as many of us feared would happen.

Welcome to the site by the way.

the light of day has great power. it exposes things hidden by night. namely the small piece of scotch tape on the other side of the box, placed overtop of the broken factory seal. I hate people that go and ruin the fun of collecting, but at least I can return it and try again.

Wow, this mail-in offer is really bringing out the worst in people. I don't know if it's scalpers, or kids, or bad fans or what. But this is weak, people stealing free-gift tokens.

I don't know if it really counts as news, but the Japanese NEST figures are coming with the stickers and a "NEST Perfect Guide" (ie. a toy catalogue) but there's no sign of any free figure promotion.

alright everyone, you can scoot back from the edges of your seats. I returned the set without hassle and checked the shelves. The only other one they had out was even worse(book,sticker and patch gone) so I asked a worker if he had anymore. He not only had more, but they were in an unopened box. so I finally got my completely intact ROTF boxset. the figures are great, and i do love this Soundwave
