Seibertronian podcaster and database master ScottyP has been helping us validate some rumours about the deluxe Premier Edition Transformers: The Last Knight Bumblebee figure: apparently, there are two versions of the toy, one with yellow, one with black (cue Childish Gambino homage). Check out the rundown below!

You can see the black paint not only gets onto the roof, but portions of the rear of the vehicle as well.

In robot mode there's no difference that's really noticeable. The shades of yellow are my lighting setup being crappy/me being not great at pictures. Trust me on this, the yellows are the same despite what it might look like here!

However, when it's in the package, the roof pieces are left flat on the back. I've posed these oddly to show you how you can identify the variant in the store. The easiest way is to look at the rear piece, as the black "leaks through" a bit even when viewed from the front. The roof panel itself can be helpful in this but it isn't as reliable.

Given that the assortment codes are the same, I don't know of any other way to identify them while in the store, outside of being a total prick and opening the package in the aisle (do not do this.)

Just a small tip for variant identification. Shine a phone light into the package while having the phone cover the least amount of clear plastic as possible. That's how I got good paint applications on CW deluxes.

If I did that, would I expect weird looks from the shop assistants like when I went through the 30 or so Tiny Turbo Changers they had on the pegs yesterday searching for Prime and Grimlock? I put all the unbought ones back on the pegs like a good tidy person though.

Tiny Turbos have a code on the back that just needs to be held up to the dimmest store light. Glad to see someone who also repegs them instead of throwing them in a box of the RID ones.

I was using that list but those letters are kinda embossed and very small and it's hard to get the right kind of light to make out the exact shape of the letter so it took a while and i had my phone perched up ontop on the shelf below displaying the list.

Is not as bad ever since the Lego minifigure blind bags. I collect them and nobody bats an eye, mostly because I get them from an official store since it's cheaper that way. Also, Tiny Turbos tend to get bent in bag if too much force is applied.

I dunno about Grimlock. The voyager toy is still very good and now in a more accurate paintjob easy available in regular stores and he does appear a lot in the trailers so likely a key character in the film so if missed out on the AoE release which obviously isn't in shops now (and was only sold in Toys R Us here in the UK back then) then I can understand the redecoed re-release there. Just the price hike on it is the annoying bit.

You hate it? I love it. I think it's a great figure and one of the best toys for any Dinobot ever and looks cool in both modes. I still have my AoE version and am just waiting for the TLK one to get price reduced.

Theres a great reason: the molds already exist. They are an easy way to beef up a toyline without increasing the development cost.

Not if the budget doesnt allow it. We have no clue if it could have or not, the sacrifices that we made, and so on. For instance we know that the only reason Combiner Wars was even a thing was because John Warden showed Hasbro how a bunch of characters could be obtained from small amount of molds and designs and thats why it was greenlit.

The only thing I feel confident in bitching about would be things like having different paint apps on Voyager Optimus. So a reorientation of the budget.

But saying we would like new toys instead of repaints is an old duscussion that has already been talked to death.

The truth is, if the space didnt go to repaints, it would have gone to no one.

This toy looks so terrible. AND for all that money. I can't understand why they are trying to market such a low quality figure in this line. The movie lines are supposedly family oriented. But lets face it: the movies themselves are more focused towards an older generation of fans. We are not going to want a crumb of plastic whose knees don't even bend for ~$40. HasTak needs to get there shit together for this line. It's getting ridiculous.

Bumblebee's the only repaint that makes no sense to me since it's not even trying for movie accuracy unlike the Dinobots and has a brand new awesome looking figure being released later. Crosshairs and Drift looked like redecos at first but they're retooled. Barricade, Megatron, Hound, Sqweeks, Berserker, Steelbane, Scorn, Prime and new Bee are all new molds and those are all the known proper 'Generations' type TLK figures we know of so far. Certainly not been as repaint heavy as certain other TF lines yet.

(yeah I forgot the Leader Class figures cos their price and overly large size has me ignoring them anyways... Prime is old, Megatron is new)

It is the oddest choice, especially when Bee is reverting to an older body, and there are many other toys out there with a body looking more along the lines of that than the AOE mold.

Directly from Hasbro, check out the Transformers: The Last Knight Turbo Changer Knight Armor advert on their official YouTube channel! Featuring the first wave of Grimlock, Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, the clip has been embedded below - though more can be found in our news section, including Hound and Megatron!

I expect that Bee will start the Movie with his new Body - but it might have been nice to show him reformatting himself - you can really tell they don't plan these Movies out as much as they claim - as if they did - then Bee would have gotten an Upgrade in appearance this Movie not the last one - and perhaps they should have stuck with the 1960's Body for all of the last Movie.

I wonder if Bee had that 1960's Body before only with out the Carbon Fibre bits - and he was just revisiting it - like is implied that Optimus is re-visiting his old body too when he adopts the Knightly look.

So I wonder did they come up with the idea for both movies and then just carry on making them or did they make the knightly look for AOE - give it to some character and then when people mostly liked it - they decided to make the the entire theme of the next Movie.

Can any of the molds from the first trilogy even be used, Legions aside? O wait, never mind, that DotM Voyager Prime redeco.

Maybe it was the most readily available of the preexisting Deluxe class Movieverse Bumblebee molds.

As in the most recent, thus more accurate to the current Camaro model?

We have more teases from Weibo user Notrab. We believed that a Hot Rod toy would be coming for the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline since we had some art that looked like the back of a box but now we have even more proof. We have the actual box now, but cropped to only show the Hot Rod name. Hopefully we will see the Hot Rod toy soon.

Might be part of a two pack since Bumblebee's "cgi" model is right above the box as opposed to say just Hot Rod like all the TLK deluxes thus far.

I remember seeing an image of Bee and Hot Rod together I'll have to track it down and post it here.

I hope the 2 pack comes with the new mold bee, if so, I might actually pick it up. And, cmon, don't tease us like this. (If this is just another remold/repaint, I'm done. The line is already really small, and filled with repaints, you don't need to be this cheap Has/Tak)

Filled with repaints?

Not including the Legion class of course:

Let's see, Straight repaints: Deluxe Slash, Deluxe Slug, Deluxe Bumblebee and Voyager Grimlock, Leader Prime.

Retools: Deluxe Drift. Deluxe Crosshairs

100% New Molds: New Deluxe Bumblebee, Barricade, Beserker, Squeeks, Steelbane, Voyager Prime, Voyager Hound, Voyager Megatron, Voyager Scorn, Leader Megatron, Dragonstorm

Did I miss anything?

Likely to get new molds too: Cogman, Hot Rod. Several other characters seen in the trailer still up in the wind.

So far, 5 out of around 20 molds are straight repaints.

100% New Molds: New Deluxe Bumblebee, Barricade, Beserker, Squeeks, Steelbane, Voyager Prime, Voyager Hound, Voyager Megatron, Voyager Scorn, Leader Megatron, Dragonstorm

Did I miss anything?

Likely to get new molds too: Cogman, Hot Rod. Several other characters seen in the trailer still up in the wind.

So far, 5 out of around 20 molds are straight repaints.

Don't forget the redder redeco of DotM Voyager Prime.

The problem is that half of the "new" stuff on the shelves right now are repaints. Sold at a premium. THAT'S what is really annoying. Sure, we must give time to the factories to produce the actual new stuff, but still...

Filled with repaints?

Not including the Legion class of course:

Let's see, Straight repaints: Deluxe Slash, Deluxe Slug, Deluxe Bumblebee and Voyager Grimlock, Leader Prime.

Retools: Deluxe Drift. Deluxe Crosshairs
