Dark Of The Moon Silver Bumblebee Repaint Revealed

Well I don't think it looks that great of a color sceheme but I am curious as to what it's about.

that is pretty damn ugly

It's CLEARLY Cannon BB. I had hope for it, but it just got crushed. THANKS, HASBRO!

Is it me , but does that look like a decepticon insignia on his door?

WOW another Bumblebee repaint!

I'm giddy with EXCITEMENT!

... no, wait, that's sarcasm.

At least he does'nt look like a dickhead!

It's some kind of symbol, but it's not a decepticon insignia for sure.
On other news, did we really needed another BB? How much cash can you milk out of BB before you have to kill it and eat it? Apparently, to the point of nauseousness.

already? they could have at least made it red and called it cliffjumper.

Like someone else said, I'm pretty sure that's a repaint of Cannon BB. He has the seats inside and the solid front--the split doesn't go all the way down the front like it does on Battle Blade BB. Plus, the rest of the panel lines seem to match up. That would make it the fourth release of the mold--granted, Battlefield BB and BB from the Rampage Among the Ruins had the battle mask, whereas Cannon BB had the head with the tarsier eyes.

Well, thats down right ugly!!

and yet another reason i hope he bites it in dotm. (not likely though)

if it has a different head then i might get it but im gonna try and stay away from these BBs, i will only get one cus battle blade BB is hell of a lot better than these will ever be.

Alright, that's it. This is ridiculous. We've gone past conceivable repaints, redecos, exclusives, etc.

This is nothing but a moneygrab for Hasbro, and it should be looked upon negatively.

It's one thing to pad their line up to keep things going, but this is just bull$#17

Please stop making Bumblebees.

Ok there is some things you can and can't do to Bumblebee, making him grey is somthing you can't do.

This is a joke, right? April Fools, right Hasbro?

bah, just pulled out my cannon bumblebee from the box of shame and compared. the hood on this silver one looks to be all one peice, so it might be retooled, but I was wrong, it totalt is cannon bb -_-

How on earth could Hasbro come some close to gaining themselves a small sliver of redemption and then so totally blow it at the last second? Black and Silver...that works. Black Silver and Yellow detailing...

Had they gone with something in the blue range for the detailing and made the arms, legs and head something like a gun-metal grey so that they stood out just enough from the vehicle parts that it's not a solid looking blob, then they would have had something.
Maybe use the blue stripe that should have gone onto the vehicle detail to also highlight some of the bot features (without going overboard) just to spruce it up a bit.
What they have, however, is just freaking hideous. I have no desire to see that thing transformed cause that would just be nightmare inducing.

Green windows?

This is absolutley gonna have to stop. DOTM is turning out to be an either hit-or-miss line. i till say ROTF was a much better line.

No more BB...Please no more BB!!!

Bumblebee once again proves my point about him being the "one bot franchise".

A silver Bumblebee huh? Watch Hasbro call him Bug Bite and fans will be over him even after previously condemning it

Me? I like him for a whole different reason:

Volks on TFU.info

South American Bumblebee, one color scheme had silver and yellow.

Pretty sure that's a black Autobot symbol inside that logo.

Finally, a non-yellow Bumblebee! Just watch it somehow be nearly all yellow in bot mode.

The odd logo looks like a stylized "A", with a little Autobot symbol near the bottom. Or perhaps an "H", or even a suspension bridge (as seen while driving on it).

Bumblebee is becoming the 1990's Batman of the toyline. "NEW He once drove through a puddle and got dirt on one of his doors Bumblebee, now with realistic muddy patch!" or howsabout just go completely balls to the wall and give us "Ice Cream Maker BB"?

edit: that all said, the silver isn't terrible.

I'd recognize that mold anywhere-it's the Battlefield/Cannon Bumblebee mold.

Well, I certainly have no idea were the inspiration for this repaint came from haha. And as for the mold, its the cannon Bumblebee, with the twin shoulder cannons that can pop out of the hood. You can tell by the pannel lines.

Green windows? Really? Looks like someone projectile-vomited Mountain Dew inside the car.

And the yellow trim on the caring stripes...ugh.

The red headlights aren't helping either.

I am not one to use language but… this Bumblebee looks like a piece of crap! Even if it was a Bugbite… I still would not get it! Hasbro please stop the hideousness, of the movie Bumblebee!

This mold again? Come on! I had hope this was a DOTM mold repaint but nooooo we get Cannon Bumblebee again. I like the silver but not the mold (well, I like the mold but I already have two)

that is cannon bumblebee, no question. i wonder if he'll have a new head? i sure hope so

guess they ran out of yellow pigment for the bb molds
next hell be black and a sliver of red and theyll call him shadow cliffjumper.

Robot mode images of the previously seen silver Bumblebee have surfaced on TaoBao. The figure is revealed to be repaint of ROTF's Cannon Bumblebee. The images from the auction are mirrored below.

Yellow pants! Where did all that yellow come from?

Boom! Bluestreak! Its the spitting image, it even has the shoulder rockets!

cool alt mode horrible robot mode

If we didn't know better I would say it's a KO.

WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT

SWEET AND SOUR PRIMUS! Please tell me this monstrosity is an unfinished prototype; there are practically no paint apps and what there are are vomit-inducing. I know Hasbro's trying to get as much out of Bumblebee as possible, but this looks like someone just upended a bottle of silver paint on an unpainted Cannon BB and called it a day.

Yeah, it reminds me of that Walmart exclusive black repaint of Super Speedbreaker...that was still all Hot Roddish red underneath in his robot elements. This Bee begs the same question: Why couldn't they just change the whole color scheme? Did they have to use leftover parts?

No wait, he REALLY looks like the Energon Energon Hot Shot repaint, which more or less featured an exterior silver coat for his car elements, leaving his robot mode still too yellow. Or, yeah, Bluestreak...if he wet 'em; no offense to Streakfans. It's just with his pants the only yellow part...

Worst figure of the year. Not even going to see what the other 9 months bring.

it would have been better to leave the inside yellow black..that grey head is ugly

Will this really sell?

The eyes,
They see,
One of those weird “take the letters and rearrange the letters and have a new set of words”, and that’s how I describe this toy!

This looks like a cheap knock-off, one, and two, those eyes give me fucking nightmares.

Seriously, that makes Skids and Mudflap look good and I happen to despise those two fugly little buggers. That is quite possibly more hideous than ANY G2 color combination ever conceived. WTF was Hasbro thinking???

Fail FailFAIL

DOTM is in a really close race with Pretenders for being the worst Transformers line ever. How ugly can they get?

I'll be shocked if the sales for the third movie aren't at best disappointing for Hasbro.
