Transformers Prime Beast Hunters "Scattered" Teaser Image

How so?

The CG models in this show have always had some dings and scratches on them. This really isn't any worse than usual. Also, I'm a bit annoyed that this new Bumbleblack doesn't look like any of the redecos/retools of his mold so far. Not even the two different existing black redecos. So if I want a S3-accurate shelf I have to custom paint my Bee or something? This reeks of bad planning.

why are the kids still in the show? why?

I was just referring to the scraches and dings on his chest. Just filler really, instead of just saying, "Hey, looks it's Bee and Raf!"

Oh, that's what they are! I didn't see the scratches at first and just thought it was part of the black paint and robot detail. Thanks.

MTV has a 1 min clip for "Scattered"

Oh look, it's that same clip from NYCC with a few seconds more at the beginning.

Quickblade Bumblebee's the closest to a S3-accurate Bee at the time being.

And even his paint apps are still off.

Having looked over an every black Bumblebee toy out there (Movie, G1, Prime, you name it), it looks as though the Prime guys really did create a completely unique pattern design for Bumblebee's new deco.

My only guess is that they didn't want to start promoting a toy that's pretty much no longer in circulation (not counting any unsold pegwarming pieces that might still be lingering here and there).

That Bot wrote:This whole "make all the characters with new beast spikes and stuff" really screams that the show runners and Hasbro are not communicating at all here.

Ironic, considering one is "Hasbro" and the other is "Hasbro Studios".

But yeah, they need to get on the ball with this.

Man, I only WISH Shadow Bee was pegwarming anywhere. I still need one to complete my collection, I just didn't want to pay $15 for him. Anyway, it's an interesting point, but inventing an all new deco accomplishes less than promoting a toy from last year. At least then we can go "Well, better late than never!"

They may be called Hasbro Studios but clearly Jeff Kline and co are not working very closely with Hasbro. It's like they said "Okay we're making this thing called Beast Hunters and here's Optimus's new look and here's Predaking" and Hasbro ran with the rest. Or Hasbro might have told the showrunners "Here's new Optimus and here's Predaking, make the show about them" and neglected to mention the other dozen new toys they were making. Either way, they're doing different things with the same idea and it's bothersome.
