So if I think and hope hard enough like I did this, will more Armada homages happen in Generations?

Careful. Think and hope too hard and you'll get Laserbeak as a child's roleplay pink video camera

Could be the image, as with the exception of MURDERBEE (already mentioned) Movie Bumblebee's head usually ends up pretty loveable. Though I do notice it has red eyes...
Regardless, I still kinda want it, even if I end up making it a new head on Shapeways and making it into a new character. Elita-1 anyone?
EDIT: Even better idea- give her a completely original head design and call her "Lovebug".

Nope, it's totally the mold, and I think the mold choice was totally intentional.

Does anybody know if any of the movie laserbeak toys can lend their head to this BB mold. I would find it hilarious and would totally make me want to get it if it could be done.

Beware kids! This may look like a cute Princess Bumblebee in the Bumblegum kingdom, but it's actually a murderer assassin demon in disguise!
DotM was my favorite Bayverse TF movie. Best one by far.
Also dammit Galvy.

D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Thanks to the latest Figure King Magazine, posted by the Planet Iacon Facebook page, and a notification from Seibertronian Sabrblade, we have word of a new and very funny new figure for Takara's Movie the Best line: the Dark of the Moon Bumblebee mold repainted in pink to represent Laserbeak! For those who can't remember, in Dark of the Moon Laserbeak transformed into a pink version of Bee to get close to a little girl before killing her father. This toy makes that interesting version of Laserbeak come to life! The figure is looking to cost around 4300 yen, and will be available at the end of July. Stay tuned for more updates!
Are any of the Japanese websites accepting pre-orders on this amazing "Laserbeak" figure?

None are since this cant be stocked by any of the usual retailers due to its exclusive status in Japan. Its like the LG EX toys like Rhinox and Waspinators which Japanese retailers cant stock. So the only orders available are from retailers outside japan (like TF Source or whoever else). Sorry about that.

Seriously though, if I had any excuse to pay the no-doubt extortionate price for it, and I hadn't been put on a self-imposed collecting moratorium until the end of the year, Lovebug here would be mine.

Hm, have to say that is a delicious looking pink. Like strawberry ice cream. mmmm... i wanna lick this bumblebee.
That seems like quite a large display for such an unusual repaint.

Aah... I'll have to enquire Google about that later.

Thanks, I've just googled it and, just to confirm, they're actually called MetaKore. Only a minor difference spelling-wise, and yet as 30 minutes of browsing has found out, a massive content difference.

The list we have below includes the following:
MB-12 Autobot Jazz
MB-13 Bonecrusher
MB-14 Megatron
MB-15 Lockdown
MB-16 Jetfire
MB-17 Optimus Prime Revenge Version
MB-18 War Hammer Bumblebee
MB-19 Hound
MB-20 Nemesis Prime
Posted by shajaki on September 6th, 2017 @ 8:06am CDT
Based on prices, what can we assume?
3500 Deluxe, 5000 Voyager, 8000 Leader? , 10,000 Leader, 15,000 Leader... +?
From there, what can we assume?
MB-12 Autobot Jazz 3500 - Deluxe. Movie 1 mold. Why not the vastly superior HA mold?? They did it for Soundwave!
MB-13 Bonecrusher 3500 - Deluxe. Movie 1 mold. Rare these days so it's a good choice.
MB-14 Megatron 8000 - Starting to get dicey. Looking at the previous MB figure prices, no Voyagers were priced this high, so I gotta assume Leader. And there's only 3 Megs in that size class. Won't be TLK, ROTF has had multiple releases, so I'm betting on it being Movie 1.
MB-15 Lockdown 3500 - Deluxe. Pretty unexciting.
MB-16 Jetfire 10,000 - ROTF Leader obviously. Interested to see the deco.
MB-17 Optimus Prime Revenge Version 15,000 - I'm at a loss for this one. The only way to justify that price point for me is if it were Leader Prime + Upgrade. Like Jetwing. But that was DOTM. And Buster Prime was DOTM too wasn't it?
MB-18 War Hammer Bumblebee 3500 - Deluxe something. Too many Bee molds for me to speculate which one.
MB-19 Hound 5000 - Voyager AOE? Again, why rerelease a mold (TLK) that's still on shelves?
MB-20 Nemesis Prime 8000 - Leader.... AOE or TLK molds in TLK Nemesis colors. Best guess.
Thoughts?
Posted by Insurgent on September 6th, 2017 @ 8:31am CDT
If the megatron is a leader, then it will be movie 1. Has to be. And I will not be interested. Oh well.
I would guess the nemesis will be the tlk in nemesis colours, with the remoulding on the back pack. I imagine that version would gather more interest in owning than the AOE version.

Takara got the normal, non-Buster version of ROTF Prime before they made Buster.Insurgent wrote:I believe Buster Prime was the first takara release of the rotf leader Prime, for their rotf line. Though I could be mistaken.

I think the higher price tags are or leaders with major accessories.
MB-12 Autobot Jazz 3500 - Deluxe. Movie 1 mold. Why not the vastly superior HA mold?? They did it for Soundwave!
Also confused by this choice.
MB-14 Megatron 8000 - Starting to get dicey. Looking at the previous MB figure prices, no Voyagers were priced this high, so I gotta assume Leader. And there's only 3 Megs in that size class. Won't be TLK, ROTF has had multiple releases, so I'm betting on it being Movie 1.
That would make sense, but the ROTF one is so much more of a beloved design. And the ton of releases never stopped another ROTF Leader Prime, so it could go either way.
MB-17 Optimus Prime Revenge Version 15,000 - I'm at a loss for this one. The only way to justify that price point for me is if it were Leader Prime + Upgrade. Like Jetwing. But that was DOTM. And Buster Prime was DOTM too wasn't it?
This could be to a Jetwing Leader prime made to resemble the end of the second film, hence the name Revenge. We never got a Jetwing Prime combo that was deco'd accurately (with black parts) so this could be it.
MB-19 Hound 5000 - Voyager AOE? Again, why rerelease a mold (TLK) that's still on shelves?
This one is super confusing.
MB-20 Nemesis Prime 8000 - Leader.... AOE or TLK molds in TLK Nemesis colors. Best guess.
I am thinking TLK Calibur Prime in Nemesis colours.
I dont think I will be getting any of these. The fun part of the first set was that many of them were elusive molds/decos. Many of these are far more recent and more easily obtained so I am a bit less excited. That jetfire deco is interesting but I hate that toy so much.
