Studio Series 2022 Wave 3 Found at Target with Bumblebee Shortpacked

I'm more interested in those prices, they were still $23 when I was at my local Target Friday.

But isn't what you're saying a version of "All black car looks like the Ford Model T"? I know my twist of your statement is kinda extreme, but... I mean, to me, I can't see much similarity of the Batwing in "Dark Knight Rises" (Bale) vs. "Batman v Superman) (Affleck) vs. the 1989 Burton/Keaton version other than they're all black.

Same thing about the Batmobiles through the ages. Some changes are more evolutional (cosmetic tunings), but some are drasticall different in style, it's revolutional.

Or maybe you mean since you consider there's only one Batman (created by Kane in the 1939), all the Batmen in various medium (comics, TV, movie, video games, etc.) & eras (1939 to today) is basically the same one Batman (OK, we're talking Bruce Wayne here, not the other wannabes/stand-ins for simplicity of argument). So likewise there's just one Batwing as a vehicle just drawn differently? Hmmmm... interesting thought.

Oh, OK I see now, you lumped all those bat aircrafts as Batwings. I never considered them as such (which I realize may be innacurate to do so). They were just other Batplanes or Bat vehicles to me, with the Batwing being only what we saw in the Burton film and the animated series based on the same design/world.

With Bumblebee being SS 87, I think we finally have our answer, there is no actual SS86, t is the entire subline lumped under one number in the SS line.

@Sabrblade, looking at that it seems the numbers are wrong on the TFwiki page (looking at the more recent entries, Bumblebee Ironhide is SS84 for instance, ect)

My Wal-Mart just now got Ironhide and Arcee in. So I have a while before I see this wave.

LOL, I guess, it's true enough that there's more or less *A* Batwing (and maybe a spare or two as standbys) at any one time, in a particular medium/timeline, there's no singular *The* Batwing though. I mean, even in the comics, Batman wrecked enough Batmobiles to come up with a newly designed Batmobile the next day.

Kind of like there are iterations/generations of [insert your fav car model] designs. Same lineage, not the same vehicle.

Comics... it's always messy.

What's Ironhide's number supposed to be?

Ah forget it, turns out I was looking at the wrong place (the Takara numbers)

I've made that mistake myself especially if looking at TF wiki on my phone.

Because bee is a nonsense and has no reason to exist other than to annoy all fans over 3 years old

Not really. You may not like him (and that is your right to an opinion) but at the same time, you do have to get over yourself and accept reality, that Bee is a large part of the franchise, bringing new fans into what we love.

At this point, hating Bee is like hating Mickey Mouse.
The haters can hate all they want, but the golden goose is here to stay.

Exactly, it's far easier (and healthier) to just accept it and move on to something you enjoy thinning about.

One thing that I see often on 4chan and even here are threads whose whole point is to HATE on something or someone. Seriously, how miserable and unhappy one can be to find enjoyment in those threads?

And yet fans keep begging Hasbro and Walmart to rerelease Netflix Bee.

I disagree. As a kid, I thought Hot Rod and Grimlock were cooler than boring ol bee.
