While not shown at Toy Fair this past weekend, scans uploaded to MyFigureCollection.net from what appears to be a Flame Toys catalog that might have been available at Toy Fair revealed a pair of familiar repaints. First is the Bumblebee with heli-pack kit in red coming in June. We don't get a whole lot of red recolors of Bumblebee that aren't Cliffjumper, but the repaints are pretty standard all the same. Next is our perennial Optimus Prime repaint, this time into "inner" Ultra Magnus. It's a good looking kit, but probably not quite the IDW representation most were hoping for. He'll be out sometime in August.
So what do you think about these newly revealed recolors? Good, bad or indifferent be sure to sound off in the Energon Pub forums!

There's high chances that Bee didn't sell enough so its repaint was cancelled.

That's not under produced, that's just plain they didn't make any. Weird.

You may rather just buy the pre-built K.O from AliExpress. Save the hassle, save money, get a nice looking figure.

I still have 3 Kotobukiya 1:1 scale "bug hunters maid-bots lolis" to build. I bought them last year or the year before. I don't remember.
