That Buzzworthy Bumblebee line has done a real 180 on fans. It went from being an easily ignorable line to one of the main lines to watch out for since this is the line where you can get reissues of sought after toys and exclusive figures reminiscent of Botcon multipacks. Unlike the Botcon multipacks though, these tend to be a great value, which is rare in the Transformers collector market today, which only adds to their popularity. We now have wind of a third one coming in 2023, keeping that yearly tradition. There is no rumour or word on the street as to who is in this pack, we just know we are getting another one. We thank JTPrime17 and Voltrace for this finding.

Given what the last two 4 packs had I wouldn't be shocked if this one was something like Bumblebee again, maybe in a yellow and blue color way because some of the comics colored him that way, Antagony, toy colored Tarantulas and maybe Nightbeat or because the last two were Bumblebee with three villains we could get another G2 Stunticon instead.

Curious to see what this one ends up including, I've enjoyed the sets so far

Although Fangry and Ransack were the standouts of the last 2 sets,I've been able to avoid them because those aren't desirable characters to me personally. But if the next set came with a G2 Stunticon that would Suuuuuuuuuuck! So it's probably a guarantee.

While I am intrigued, each of the previous sets had only 1 figure I was interested in, and I'm expecting it to be the same with this as well.
What I would love, is if we got an updated set of Combaticons, with Onslaught as a main line release and his 4 limbs in a 4-pack like this. Same with Defensor.

Considering the price for this one is listed the same as the Creatures Collide one from this year, I would expect 4 Deluxes again, so no Antagony.Perceptor1996 wrote:Antagony

Another G2 Stunticon feels like a safe bet.
Something I'd like to see is RID2001 Mirage repainted from Amazon Leadfoot. The head isn't quite right, but it's close enough.
There's a lot of repaint potential in those Spy Changers, I'd take a whole 4 pack of them.

Because it's Legacy, I'm gonna say Animated Wasp from Cliffjumper, Datsun repaint as Movieverse Bee, a repaint of a Junkion (probably the muscle car to Lockdown for the desired figure), and probably a G2 Stunticon (probably Dead End)

It's fun to speculate. I'm sure, however, there will be some form of Bumblebee in the set. LOL Other than that, no clue.

I really hope not. For one thing, the Datsun mold is pretty mediocre. for another, I have seen suggestions for the datsun mold to be used for a Prime Smokescreen and movie Bumblebee, and I just hate both of those ideas, not only for the mediocre mold use, but also for taking both of those unique designs and simplifying them like that. They are on par with my opinions on the G1 Smokescreen as Barricade, G1 Grapple as Bulkhead, G1 Sunstreaker as Lockdown ideas.

I agree it wouldn't be ideal, but they sorta share just enough that as the G1ified version it could work imo. I was just going with the trend of having a Bee in each box set and we already have Origin, Netflix, the original Buzzworthy one, and now Goldbug. Although, it could be a G2 version with a new name amd toy accurate head to make it different from Netflix and get around the agreement or whatever it is...

Agreed. Always a bit surprised by how keen on that kind of stuff people are, specially when it seems pretty clear that designers are usually trying to fit new molds or at least remolds for distinct characters whenever they can, like the whole Override and Cosmos deal.

Based on the last one it will have only one Bot I actually want which means I'll have to ty to sell off the others to make it cost effective, unfortunately that didn't work well last time so I'll likely pass on this set. Or I'll wait till it finally goes to clearance and just donate unwanted bots to toys for tots.
I am curious what it will consist of though.

We have news that Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series leader class Dark Of Tthe Moon Optimus Prime was found at a Target in New Jersey. This is a rerelease of Studio Series 44 Optimus Prime. The other new Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series figures, like NEST Bonecrusher, were there too.

When we posted a list of the entire 2023 Studio Series line up, there was quite a big absence with Rise of the Beasts Optimus Prime missing. All other major characters from the film are there, except for him. Now, smart money was on the fact that he would be released in 2023 but as an exclusive, since we didn't have all listings for those yet and that seems to be the case. JTPrime17 reported a listing for a Studio Series voyager Optimus Prime coming out in the Target exclusive Buzzworthy Bumblebee subline.
Now, it is important to note that there will also be a voyager class Optimus Prime in the main Rise of the Beasts line, which is not exclusive. Just the branded Studio Series Optimus Prime will be exclusive. We do not know how different one figure will be to the other. Below is the item identification number along with an image from Target, thanks to Voltrace.

DCPI: 087-26-0164
MSRP: $33.99

My Bonecrusher preorder moved up to next week, so it was only a matter of time before he showed up in stores. I am excited to get those NEST guys.
Also, I wonder if that BBB Prime is just going to be the SS-38 reissued instead of a retooled one to match the RotB movie.

I picked up NEST Bonecrusher at my local Targét last night too! Haven't opened him yet but am excited, i held off on Bonecrusher the first time he came out as part of the standard Studio Series because frankly, I'm still very attached to my old Deluxe Jungle Bonecrusher (which is still a pretty solid figure today). But this new deco looks sick and so far the size of em is impressive

He is a very nice figure, and the NEST paintscheme rocks on him. I too still hold a strong love for the original mold, and i still want a leader sized figure of that design. He is my favorite movie con.

So I think it is safe to asusme Hatchet will be SS94. What just dawned on me is that in the past, Buzzworthy went with solid deluxe cases for Generations figures (Origns Bee, Silverstreak, Terrorsaur) and mixed cases for SS in the Buzzworthy line (2 separate deluxe mixed cases and the versus 2 packs).
(Yes Sabr, I know SS is techncially generations ,but they are clearly different lines from a distribution standpoint.)
So my prediction on why Nest Ratchet hasn't shipped yet is because he is probably part of a 3 figure case with Hatchet and SS86 Hound. Hopefully that means the latter 2 are soon to be announced and released.

I always thought that Ratchet mold was a voyager…
But I’m not into the movie lines, so I’m probably wrong.
I wish Hastak would release official wave info for Buzzworthy.
And I don’t even need any remotely specific dates.
But what’s coming in which waves would be great info to make public.
Hell, even the first two waves of the year would be nice, and around April/May release info for the rest of the year.
And IF something has to change, so be it.
They wouldn’t need to offer any explanations.
Not to mention, there should be a couple points in every year where everything is pretty well set in stone.

Looks like UK peeps getting him, they are usually about a month ahead of us, at least with Pulse, so I imagine Ratchet will ship next week.
Would also make sense if he was in a wave with Hatchet, though the reveals being so far apart would be odd

This may seem like a belated question, but...
You know how the Creatures Collide set came with alternate heads for Skywasp, Scorponok, and a toy-colors head for Kickback? Well, how exactly does one do the head-swap for Kickback? Unlike the other two, whose neck ball joints stick out from the top of the torso, the opposite is true of Kickback's neck ball joint: It's buried inside the torso.

My guess is pull straight up on the head until the torso lets go. I'm keeping my heads original, so I never tried it before. I just gave a half-assed try and it does seem to require a bit of force, so I stopped before I got the head off. The biggest thing would be to pull as straight upward from the torso as possible so that you aren't putting much lateral stresses on the post that the ball is on.

I just gave a half-assed try and it does seem to require a bit of force, so I stopped before I got the head off. The biggest thing would be to pull as straight upward from the torso as possible so that you aren't putting much lateral stresses on the post that the ball is on.

I can't see any other way of getting it out. You might have some luck using something like a popcicle stick to pry the head upward until the torso lets it go. I don't see any way of opening the torso. I'm also assuming for assembly, they just pushed it into the socket, but the tolerance on mine seems pretty tight.

You know how the Creatures Collide set came with alternate heads for Skywasp, Scorponok, and a toy-colors head for Kickback? Well, how exactly does one do the head-swap for Kickback?

New tactic, worked on mine. I pulled back on the top of his forehead and the ball popped out pretty easily. Basically make him look up as far as possible. The bottom of the back of his head touches the top of the torso when you do this and provides just enough leverage to pop the ball out.
I would not swap heads too often though, I worry about the joint becoming loose over time.

No fear of that. I bought two Kickbacks. One to keep the normal head, one to do the head swap.TF-fan kev777 wrote:I would not swap heads too often though, I worry about the joint becoming loose over time.

Looks like Hasbro was not done with reveals. There was a round table discussion today, which we will shed more light on later. During this discussion, Hasbro revealed Origins Jazz. This is to go with the Origins Bumblebee we got a little while back, which shows what he looked like in the first episode of the G1 cartoon. Like Origins Bumblebee, Origins Jazz will be part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line and thus be a Target Exclusive in the US. However, as we saw with that Bumblebee, he might be pretty easy to find in the end.

If you needed a friend for your Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origins Bumblebee, how about the just revealed Buzzworthy Bumblebee Origins JAZZ!?!? Hasbro just revealed this deluxe class figure during a Transformers Team roundtable with various Transformers fansites like Seibertron.com. At the end of the Q&A, Hasbro showed off a big surprise in the form of Origins Jazz in his hovercar mode from the first episode of the animated Transformers G1 cartoon episode (More Than Meets The Eye - Part 1). Included below are a bunch of screen captures from the Roundtable from earlier today.
In addition to Jazz finally having his unique and iconic hovercar mode from the first episode from almost 40 years ago, Jazz also includes his grappling hook accessory which can be mounted to ports on the opposite side of his hands when you flip them around, or it can be mounted to the end of his blaster. Unfortunately, there is not a string to attach the grappling hook, but I'm sure some fishing line or something comparable would do the trick nicely.
The Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee product line can be found exclusively at Target stores in the US.
You can stream the first episode Transformers More Than Meets The Eye on YouTube.
Now that UFO Bumblebee has a friend, one has to wonder what else Hasbro has in the pipeworks and whether or not any of the other Transformers from that episode who had iconic Cybertronian modes will get this treatment.
Official images of this new product are expected to be available soon. In the meantime ... enjoy these screen captures of this exciting new reveal!

Awesome! This is a definite buy! So glad they're releasing these origin figures. Hopefully, they'll continue to bring us more. Wheeljack would be a great addition!

Does that mean they'll be giving the tetra jets another go? There's also wheeljack to do correct?

Wheeljack could be an easy retool from that Jazz, or follow the same engineering.
As for the Tetrajets, I can only see a remold of the Siege ones, but with smooth surfaces and a clean paint scheme.
