The packaging, with some superb art of Jolt :
In car mode, with comparisons with his other versions. The blue plastic used on the figure is absolutely gorgeous.
And here is the robot mode, nothing different from the mold's first release, just the two whips, which look really good on him.
Apart from loose hips, the figure is really good. It also has a slight paint issue on the right eye, but I will fix it myself. Pretty terrified to pop the balljoint of the leg out to reinforce the hip, though. In conclusion, I must say that the figure is a bit too fiddly for my tastes, but it looks pretty darn good, and I don't regret my purchase, even if it's overshadowed by the glorious Evasion Optimus.

Gah! I have an urgent need for this Jolt so much! I was very happy with the ROTF deluxe, but annoyed when the DOTM line came up with a more screen-accurate mold with that strangely different colour scheme! XD

What a nice repaint for someone who doesn't have a personality.

In all seriousness, turn the package around and read the bio. That's where the personality is.

I prefer the original figure where the whips were at least hidden away inside the vehicle mode, not just stuck on top.

Actually most of the Autobots do have personality
They just have a lack of depth and character.

I have the DOTM version, I thought it was a cool mold. I liked the transformation and the articulation.

Does anyone have "Revenge" Optimus Prime in hand yet? I'm hoping the final product doesn't have the weird bronze-goldish plastic parts in the legs and other miscellaneous joints like the Hasbro release of that mold. Is there some rationalization for that? Here's hoping the promotional pictures are just photoshops of the original Hasbro product from 2010. Takara got it right the first time with their Battle Blades (Hooks) Optimus Prime version for the Autobot Alliance subline, replacing the bronze plastic with dark gray, so why would they undo that improvement now?

Any rumors of the Takara paint differences for figures like Hound, Drift, or Galvatron? It's getting harder to wait and not grab them once I see them in US stores, but I'd rather not have to buy each character twice if Takara's paint jobs are must haves (like with Crosshairs). The dinobots so far seem to have no differences from the Hasbro releases (except for Grimlock), and I'm kind of hoping the rest will be similar, honestly.

Shajaki, may I ask how "yellow" the metallic paint comes off on this Bumblebee? It's tempting, but it if comes off as gold more than a shiny yellow, I think I'll pass. I'd rather the definitive Bumblebee for my movie collection at least have the correct colored alt-mode. Similarly, I was turned off by the use of bronze plastic in the shins, tire assemblies, and other random joints on the new "Revenge" Optimus Prime. Those were weird plastic color choices Hasbro made back in 2010. Takara corrected that the first time around. Why let a mistake like that slide for a premium release four years later? There's nothing accurate about those bronze accents, unless I'm missing something.
Sorry for the double post. I had meant to edit the one above with a copy-paste job to add in shajaki's quote, but I goofed and hit submit.

so obviously i didnt find anything off putting, but after a closer look, the gold is gold and the yellow is yellow. i even asked my gf, and she said the gold by itself looks very gold. but next to the yellow it blends. in my opinion they compliment eachother very well.
i took a pic in the best light i could. still not great quality though (sorry) which i hope helps.

i get what youre saying, but i didnt at first. it didnt occur to me that his proper vehicle color was yellow and not gold, since when i first saw it i was just "ooooo shiny pretty" lol...Wolfman Jake wrote:Shajaki, may I ask how "yellow" the metallic paint comes off on this Bumblebee?

Thanks for the picture, Shajaki. The figure DOES look very nice with that gold paint, but it's not screen accurate enough for my shelf. I'll try to pick up one of the domestic releases of the mold from a few years ago instead.
