The slew of Bumblebee repaints seem to be an endless tradition for the Transformer Movie toylines, as we were first introduced to N.E.S.T Bumblebee awhile ago. TFCToys are at it again, as their Ebay account has the figure up for auction. Take a look at the pictures below.

It was time for that about four repaints ago.
Something is making me think this is going to be an exclusive.

I don't often whine about how something isn't... movie-accurate, in this case... Matter of fact, I think this is a personal first... But at least the darker U2.0 Cyclonus made sense.

So a robot in hiding as a car is going to advertise a secret government strikeforce on his door????
Hmmm.
I think in the non-Defiance prequel comic (oh yeah...'Alliance'--makes sense!), BBee was a part of NEST with the other bots hunting down deceps in hiding on Earth.

And we only got one of those good repaints, Cliffjumper. Instead we get Bumblebee with 30% more stripeyness.

I wouldn't mind so much if it were...say...a repaint of Landmine into a N.E.S.T. vehicle. Or maybe Sideswipe or Ironhide, who were with N.E.S.T. in China...

Didn't read the prequel comic, but in that context, yeah, it does kinda make sense...
But in the context of only seeing the movie itself (twice in as many days), not so much.

Wonder why this BB mold doesn't get damaged from so much excess use?

I always preferred the black limbs - I realise it's not exatly screen-accurate, but black just looks much more kick-ass, it contrasts better with the bright yellow, and also a better homage to the black limbs of the original G1 toy.
Also the car mode looks FAR superior. The positioning of the stripes is a much better fit for the contours of the car, somehow making an already gorgeous chassis look even sleeker. Added to that the additional stripes on the roof and the doors, and this BB certainly has the WOW factor in spades.
And then to top it all, his arm missile is actually the CORRECT SIZE for the hole in his arm, rectifying a horrid error present on the Preview Edition.
Sorry chaps, but I'll have to disagree with you all - NEST BB is an epic WIN, and if you can't see that then you must be a bit bonkers, is all can say.
From the intricate NEST logo on the wings to the electric blue tint of the windows, this has to be the best depiction of Movie BB seen thus far, and a definite purchase - even if (like me) you already have all the others.

It's our fault though, for buying all the dang previous Bumblebees, and whatever BB retool they'll release for the third film.

That figure is a seriously fantastic mould. I remember when it first came out a couple of years ago, every review was positive, the thing was flying off the shelves (and in some places even became a rarity).
Whatever else you think of this repaint, we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that this is a darn brilliant toy, whatever colour it comes in.
I for one will be be buying this figure. It's like a message of support to Hasbro: "Hey Hasbro, make more moulds like this - realistic vehicle mode, intricate yet intuitive transformation, extremely poseable robot mode." By buying this toy I'm telling Habro what I'm looking for in a Deluxe toy.
Hopefully it will make Hasbro think: "Well, we really made a great figure there, and judging by the sales figures, it has attributes that people like Starfish really love. I know what, let's try and repeat the same suceess by continuing to make moulds that are just as innovative, good-looking and downright playable as that old Deluxe Bumblebee."

I wish that were the case, but the cynic in me is thinking that Hasbro will say:
"Hot damn! We put some stripes on it and people bought it! Let's put polka dots and make the limbs light gray. I bet that will sell too!"

Sad, but I'd bet people will buy it.

I don't think people are getting restless over what this guy looks but more towards that fact that there's so many BB repaint that you can't even count'em with your fingers.

Then I realize I bought too many in the first place.

I'm surprised it hasn't! Maybe new mold technology has been developed but ONLY used for movie BB.
