Thanks to fellow Seibertron user PrimeVsPrime, we now have the video review of the highly anticipated Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee ORIGIN BUMBLEBEE video review.
This is the first brand new deluxe mold in the Buzzworthy line. This Bumblebee is in his Cybertronian mode as he appeared in the very first episode of the original G1 cartoon. He looks as if he just popped out of the screen with minimum kibble and nearly perfect screen accuracy. It's also the first time ever that this Bumblebee in this mode has been made in toy form officially.
Bumblebee comes with his blaster, a jetpack, and energon rods. All brand new molds as well. His transformation is pretty involved for his size and there are no partsforming at all. Unfortunately, the energon rods won't peg anywhere in either mode.
Feast your eyes on this magnificent figure down below:

WOW.
When this will pop in at my Toys R Us, I'll be buying this for sure!
I just hope that there will be enough units to FLOOD the market so make scalpers cry.

Nice! Another chance to get this two for people who missed them. Is that a new backdrop behind them?
Origin Bumblebee is great, and, dare I say, his robot mode looks more screen accurate than Netflix Bumblebee's! Specially the head and headsculpt. I actually saw a review of the figure yesterday, before PrimevsPrime uploaded anything, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5yJqwxGgsA&t=828s

Edit: NVM, watched the PvP video and they are not.

For this price point, it's excellent. Plus I've seen much, much worse as far as backpack and gribble goes.

Via TFW user Fc203:
I'm really disappointed we're not getting a new version of High Octane Bee.

Looks like even a $7.74 sale price isn't enough for me to keep the Bee and Spike 2 pack.

Vs. Shatter I reckon. Question is, which one?
Posted by william-james88 on July 25th, 2021 @ 8:19am CDT
SS27 Clunker Bumblebee vs SS28 Barricade
SS18 VW Bumblebee vs SS46 Car Dropkick
SS79 High Octane Bumblebee vs SS02 Stinger
These represent the first time these characters met, which reminds us that Bumblebee was in his High Octane mode when he first saw Stinger.
Speaking of which, the SS79 High Octane Bumblebee is the same toy we got in Age of Extinction and thus this tells us that the Studio Series 79 toy will simply be that toy rerelerased. Many AOE toys did end up in the "Premier Edition" Transformers TLK line which in turn has been grouped into the Studio Series line (with Cogman and Drift getting no mold changes). Does that mean we probably won't get a new mold for Crosshairs or Bugatti Drift? Don't know. All the images were posted by TFW2005.

I wonder if we will see some more "reissues" in the SS line?

Maybe that was an old one…
I haven’t exactly been following this line closely.

Strangely enough, you might have stumbled into exactly what the 4th one is, a re-release of the SS24/25 Bee 2 pack that are originally a target exclusive. Target actually has that original Listing on their website as open for pre-orders due September 1st, so I'm betting its the 4th one for these 2-packs.

Which is odd, because it means VW Beetle Bee would be re-released in 2 of the 4 2-packs.

You're right , totally forgot KSI Boss. As for the comment up there regarding that not being SS HO Bee, it is. It's an upcomong SS release which is also a rerelease of the same toy. Which is too bad.

This make me think that one more TLK "reissue" may happen with voyager Scorn (in better paint) if they decided to finally redo the rest of the AoE Dinobots. I think all would be leaders and voyagers. TLK Scorn being big and pretty much perfect would be a nice way to kickstart the AoE Dinobots in the SS line.

If they are going for scale with Grimlock, he should be leader. Voyager would be too small.

All they need to do is pull an SS-06 Starscream and make the same toy but one size class larger. It's such an amazing toy that I absolutely will update my collection even if it's all they do.william-james88 wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:william-james88 wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:You forgot another TLK "Reissue" with K.S.I Boss, who was a "premium painted" version of TLK Nitro Zeus.

Upscaling the TKL voyager could do the trick for an easy start.

I would say that car dropkick is an awesome enough figure to be worth owning even if you are also downscaling your SS collection. He's that damn good.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I thought the TLK Scorn looked kinda crap compared to the AoE Deluxe (they seem a bit overly-blocky). Both versions seem to have their own benefits, so I think slimming down the voyager's shape to have a more organic shape and possibly working some magic to make the jaw finally end up on the hips would do wonders. If we got a new Scorn (and considering we're entering a Dinobot heavy time, that's very possible) I'd probably get it since I enjoy the design.
Also I've always personified Scorn as a fembot for both variety's sake and for the pun in their name.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.
Both sightings come from TFW2005 user shadow panther. Vector Oracle from the same site, shared some in hand images of the crash combiners for those curious of the new decos.

In the past, Tesco was pretty good at getting the Target Exclusives but in this case, and considering the state of Transformers toys at general retail...I'd either hope that Smyths or the Entertainer bid for it or that Hasbro Pulse UK adds it to their partner tab.
Otherwise it's waiting to see if In Demand Toys or Kapow get them.

I'd say keep it on the down-low, but life's too short, Game.co.uk and Sports Direct of all places are doing previous Earthrise figures at joke prices (£25 leader class, £60 SkyLynx).

Weird note, the box for Origins Bee doesn't have a plastic window. Just wide open, he must have requested natural ventilation or something.
Posted by TF-fan kev777 on July 27th, 2021 @ 9:17pm CDT
I don't watch reviews, so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else, but Buzzworthy Bee shows us our first glimpse of Hasbro's (almost) zero plastic packaging. The only plastic on the packaging is the plastic hang tag for the store pegs, that is it. The ties are rattan. The box has no plastic window.
Also impressive was that the gun and energon rods were secured only by creative cardboard oragami. The ties are only twisted and taped down. Honestly this was the easiest TF to open in quite some time. I only used a knife to cut the tape on the flaps (because I'm OCD) and the rest was done by hand.
Bee also comes in just a hair taller than is ER Cliff/Netflix Bee selves.

Nice to see someone is watching thank you friend. I mean that at 42 years of age I still have an issue with the English language and meant to say Shellformer.

When you do, could you post whether or not it has the "to punish and enslave" tampo? Someone over on tfw said it was removed for that release of Barricade.

Oh for F....
You gotta be kidding me.
Someone would surely get to the set before I do. It will be important to know because if he don't have that legendary tampo, I'm not buying.

I really like Origin Bee, and I wasn't interested when first announced. I feel the fuel rods don't serve much purpose since the tips are more than 5mm. So unless we get a boxy Wheeljack that can carry them, they just kind of sit there.
