Might be part of a two pack since Bumblebee's "cgi" model is right above the box as opposed to say just Hot Rod like all the TLK deluxes thus far.
I remember seeing an image of Bee and Hot Rod together I'll have to track it down and post it here.

Strange to see Bumblebees feet on a Hot Rod box.
Never mind.

I hope the 2 pack comes with the new mold bee, if so, I might actually pick it up. And, cmon, don't tease us like this. (If this is just another remold/repaint, I'm done. The line is already really small, and filled with repaints, you don't need to be this cheap Has/Tak)

Filled with repaints?
Not including the Legion class of course:
Let's see, Straight repaints: Deluxe Slash, Deluxe Slug, Deluxe Bumblebee and Voyager Grimlock, Leader Prime.
Retools: Deluxe Drift. Deluxe Crosshairs
100% New Molds: New Deluxe Bumblebee, Barricade, Beserker, Squeeks, Steelbane, Voyager Prime, Voyager Hound, Voyager Megatron, Voyager Scorn, Leader Megatron, Dragonstorm
Did I miss anything?
Likely to get new molds too: Cogman, Hot Rod. Several other characters seen in the trailer still up in the wind.
So far, 5 out of around 20 molds are straight repaints.

The problem is that half of the "new" stuff on the shelves right now are repaints. Sold at a premium. THAT'S what is really annoying. Sure, we must give time to the factories to produce the actual new stuff, but still...

Has that been confirmed as part of the general TLK line? and not some exclusive one shot for a store or something like that?

By definition, it's a leak, shown in a UK toy catalog as part of the standard Voyager Assortment.

Worst Case Scenario: The box is a package for a two-pack of some cheap, non-transforming figures of Bumblebee and Hot Rod. 
I wouldn't be surprised if that is what is inside.

All's I'm saying is, there sure are a lot of repaints, in a line that, in comparison to older lines is very small. Yes drift is a heavy remold, but imo, the robot mode is a huge downgrade so, to me, the remolding is pointless, but that's just me. However, let me make this clear, I AM impressed by the actually completely new molds, I just wish there were more of them.
Also, I've heard this around here before, but what exactly did they change on the new crosshairs other than paint apps? Just curious.

Do you know something we dont? There have been no pics of that Dragonstorm toy yet so if you have them please share them.
If you dont, then we cant give it a guarantee its new and not a retool of Prime Predaking or something else. Point is 100% proof should have proof, like a picture.
You are also missing voyager BB but, like Dragonstorm, we dont know for sure what it looks like yet.
Cogman will have a one step and tiny turbo changer but you dont count those and Hot Rod wil probably be a store exclusive, which you arent counting either (because or else, your amount of redecos would increase a ton).

Ohhhh I hope they do a Hot Rod They've already Given me my faves Hound, Crosshairs, Drift, Bumblebee I am so down for a new movie accurate mold!, Barricade, Megatron looks awesome! and Scorn. Just for the love of all that is good and holy please Hasbro don't make him a AOE Lockdown retool.

Well, we've seen the 1 Step Turbo changer Dragonstorm which is a new mold, so it stands to reason the main line toy would be a new mold too. No pics just a general assumption on my part. I don't see how Prime Predaking could be made to look like a movie figure. Especially given how the Turbo Changer we have seen looks nothing at all like Prime Predaking.
Did not know we were getting a voyager BB. Is there any reason to believe it will be a repaint / retool from a previous figure? i.e HA Bumblebee?
So no Deluxe Cogman? No regular release Hot Rod?
what I'm saying is generally the repaint count for the main line so far does not seem to be out of the ordinary, and its been for characters that seem to have the same model they had in AOE, so its understandable they get the same mold.
ROTF started out with repaints of Voyager Prime, Ironhide, Ratchet, Skorponok, Bumblebee, Barricade, Grindor (from Blackout) etc... That's 7 figures right there in the main line again not counting legends or 1 steps or whatever.
If you counting exclusives and other things too, then the other movie lines had tons of other repaints as well, including repaints from older lines like energon and cybertron.
These lines have always had repaints. Its normal.

There is only one deluxe for the mainline that is still unknown, so it cant be both of those.
AOE had 0 straight redecos of previous movie toys in the mainline, TLK has at least 5 (not counting legions) so yes this is a definite downgrade from the previous movie line, in terms of the amount of redecos. I have no clue why we are debating facts here.
