Deluxe 2008 Bumblebee - Out of Package Images

For such a small figure he looks great.

Finally something i can replace with that freaking-stupid deluxe BB i changed. Now my store dosn't sell them anymore thanks to my warning about there 'production failure'.

This one looks great! Clear windows and a pretty show accurate gun instead of these-two-chesse-pieces.

ooh I can't wait for him

He does look pretty nice. His alt mode looks like a "low rider" because of the stuff hanging from under the car.

Buying that one on sight. Amazing how the $10 one looks better than the $90 one.

oooh me likey me likey.

this one looks far superior to the 70's version! I like it a lot.

Yes same here!

I am getting this toy tomorrow

LOL good luck finding him! Try the factory, they might sell one there. How much is the boat to China these days anyway?

A much better Bumblebee figure. I'll buy this version I think.

Now that's a gun. I just hope it's stable in his hands, that's the only thing keeping me from wanting him. lol

now that thing looks great, the robot mode is just so much more badass than the other deluxe BB, and I love the look of the new camaro

*Prepares to be pelted*

I prefer the 70s one, alot. ._.

Wow....not bad at all! Very accurate, good coloring and very Movie-Accurate.

i like it better then the 70's version

Absolutely beautiful! He looks perfect!

Hmm, Love the robot mode - looks better than the 70's one.
But the 70's car mode, there's just something cool about how retro it is taht I love more the the 2008's car.

Very Movie accurate, Now thats more like it!!! I love him... it shall be mine.. 2 in fact.. one to open and one to keep closed.. one will be by my desk at work..I like it!! I think the stuff hanging under the car just needs to be pushed up there better.. it doesn't seem like Hasbro to not have the car roll with stuff hanging to stop it.. I will buy him definitely.. he is a huge, huge improvement over the first production.. I just hope his feet and legs have more articulation, posing the 1970s version was a P.I.A.!!!

i think they need to update the 1970s version to be more like the 2008, because if you notice the 1970s Camaro is supposed to break away over the chest the same way the 2008 does, and the legs are supposed to have similar kibble as well..Come on Hasbro, fix and re-release a better 1970s Camaro Bumblebee!!!

That looks amazing. He also looks a lot more like he does in the movie than the '74 deluxe.

This bumble bee looks alot better than the movie deluxe one

Nice. When does he come out?

damn i can't wait till i get my money..... this stuff looks good.

I love the text at the top of the news story! I mean, I could have sworn that this is the 70s Camaro!
(I'm just joking.)

I realy look forward to this figure, but on a side not, alot of people are saying that they are gonna skip the 74 version for this and I have to say, outside of the oversized feet, 74 BB is a great toy.

The automorph works great on both the chest and legs, but what I was most suprized about is that the car pannels break up during transformation in a manner very similar to what I've seen in the trailer.

08 BB is gonna be a great edition to my collection, but 74 BB is nothing to scoff at himself.

What a marked improvement.

Granted, '70s Bumblebee isn't as awful as people seem to think, but he does have his share of flaws. His springloaded nose releases when you don't want it to, doesn't always release when you DO want it to, and is hard to get back into the locked position (which isn't helped by the defect found on some Bumblebees missing a tab/featuring a broken tab, or something).

Turning the robot back into the car is no parade. You must follow the instructions to a T or end up getting stuck. When (or if) you do manage to get him back in car mode, the seams are hideous, plus the nose often releases.

Robot mode isn't particularly interesting, plus the awkward-looking legs/feet aren't very well articulated (and the car roof parts on the back of the legs block the knees from moving too much).

Combine that with lame weapons, lack of transparent plastic, overall cheap-feeling plastic and the godawful movie design, and it's easy to see why some fans really aren't happy.

However, this new Camaro figure looks exponentially better than the 70s one.

one word: Awesome!!!

That's on my wanted list at this point.

looks MUCH better than the other one

I'll be getting this and hell be beating up my Godzilla figure.

i have been emailing hasbro to see if they have an exact date for the release of the 08 bumblebee they are looking into it they said

Heres a few more guys. If you want any more just PM me or ask here.

I like the huge cannon he's holding. I'm just md Megatron doesn't have a giant gun actually on his right arm........

Another "must-have". This is gonna be a landmark summer. If the Transformers last for a thousand years, people will say "This was their finest hour".

both bumblebees have their pros and cons, but ill get this one.

this one looks beutiful very detailed but i like the head on the o7 figure more seems a little more colorful and stands out more its amazing it may be plastic but when its in car mode it looks like he has a metal look to him in the 08 version this one is going to be a pain to find in stores if hes anything like megatron to find.

I picked him up yesterday, along with Arcee. I must say, he really puts the old Bumblebee to shame.

O_o...where did you find him?!

From the import shop near my place (I live outside the US).

I can't wait to get him, looks much better then the 74 Muscle Car.

Are you having difficulties keeping track of all the different Bumblebees?
There are two deluxe versions of Bumble – a 1970’s Camaro and a 2008 Camaro. The 1970’s version is part of the first wave and is already in stores. The 2008 version is part of a later wave and may be out soon. Keep your eyes open for him in the stores.

I got a question about his, which one is the one that features in the movie, the 1970 or the 2008??

Rumor has it that he starts ou as the old one but upgrades into the newer one later on.

Yeah it's true, I just read it on the wikipedia does he get upgraded in the movie, or does he get upgraded as a toy only??

Movie and toy. He trans-scans both versions of the vehicle. However, when we meet him at first, he's already in the '74 Camaro body, so we don't see him trans-scan it.

So in the end he becomes the 2008 yeah.

That's sweet!

I think he will be upgraded by the wish of the role that Shia Laboeuf plays, I like to see the scenes how he begs that Bumblebee should scan the Camaro 2008 Version.

Mm... one last question do you think I should get 2008... or 1970??
