First Look at new ROTF Bumblebee Retool and More!

Posted by Nekoman Mar 11, 2009 at 11:23am CDT 35,198 views
Seibertron.com's very own s250 has provided us with an heads-up to photos of new and previously unseen toys, from both Transformers Revenge of The Fallen and Transformers Animated. Here we can see what would appear to be a new retool of deluxe concept Camaro Bumblebee with new arms, and shoulder cannons.

The other prototype would bear an striking resemblance to Transformers Animated Ratchet's pre-earth vehicle mode, although it may also be Ironhide. What do you think? Click here to view the images, then feel free to discuss!

Who was it that argued against the idea of vehicle mode weapons? Something along the lines of, "then what is the point of transforming?"

Well, I agreed with you. Here's what we got in return.

I like the shoulder weapons. But why do we always have to sacrifice one weapon for another? Would it have been too much to ask for shoulder weapons AND his hand cannon? The combination would have sold me on this....but the lack of his other weapon is a turn off.

Hmmm this weapons in vehicle mode thing they are doing is nothing new or spectacular. Remember M.A.S.K.? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Next will be Optimus Primes weapons mode!!!

Might I suggest that they put the vehicle the right way up before taking the picture?

You need to be able to refuel!!! Vehicle modes to me equal, useful alternative to robot mode for disguise, speed, transport, flight, more artillery, what not, robot mode to me equals hanging out at maccadam's oil!

I'm confused, is this Bumblebee the preview figure (that one that ships with Soundwave) or is this figure being released in addition to the preview figure?

That second picture looks like a crappy McDonald's toy...


As for Bumblebee, I admit the shoulder cannons are kinda cool and there are some nice mild-alterations to the mold...But it doesn't make me want to buy ANOTHER Bumblbee (when I already have three of the previous verions of this mold)

And it seems to me that it's becoming a bit of a misnomer to call it a "Concept Camero", seeing as how the car is IN production and available to the public as the 2009-model Camero...

Speaking of which, I hope that means they'll actually be able to do some cool stunts with him in this movie since they now have more than ONE car available to work with...And they can drive it faster than 25mph...

You just know someone is going to kitbash all the Bumblebees into some amazing matchup.

My Autobot army is going to consist of Optimus Prime and 2 dozen variations of Bumblebee by the time the 3rd movie comes out. I'm really glad they didn't feel the need to do this crap back in the G1 days.
Come to think of it, they don't really NEED to do this crap now!!!
Screw this toy, I'm not buying it! I think it's about time we sent a message to Hasbro that we aren't going to be their bitches any longer!
I'm sick of their crappy repaints and their basic lack of thought and effort and inability to give us products that are worth a damn.
I really hate to say it, but this toy line (the whole Trafnsformer toy line) is turning into one huge dissapointment and I think has finally reached the end of it's run. I'm to the point where I don't even want to buy Transformers for my kids anymore. I'd just as soon get them TCG's or Ben10 figures before I get them TF's.
Let's see if Hasbro can guess which finger I'm holding up now!

It looks much better then the preview BB we saw. does he actually have his right hand or does he have a gun for a hand like the preview BB has ?
either way i'm going to keep out on this BB and get the Human Alliance one instead.

Cybertronian mode Ironhide? Ratchet repaint in 3 2 ....

Bumblebee looks cool, I knew it was smart to wait and see what happens before I bought one.

Bumblebee doesnt look to bad but i still dont think im going to get it. As for the Ironhide/Ratchet thing ill probably buy. If it is indeed Ironhide then its a must buy.

There's a little too much yellow on Bumblebee's arms, and it looks like they're using the solid blue windows of the '74 Camaro rather than the much more awesome translucent ones of the '08 Camaro model.

Still, the new guns are pretty awesome.
