In-Hand Images: Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Prowl and Night Shadow Bumblebee

Both look really good IMO. Definitely getting Prowl and as I don't yet have a BH Bumblebee, I might just have to pick that one up to.

I can't get excited for the Prowl toy as shown in the photos. It looks like there is too much stark white plastic areas on the toy, especially in alt mode. A bit of extra colour application to pull out some of the sculpted details would make the toy so much better. At least it won't be difficult to repaint it if one is so inclined.

I do like how the head sculpt is based upon the concept art of a Prime version of Prowl.

Man, that Prowl look BOSS! I'll be sure to buy him along Smokescreen if I ever see them in store.

As for Shadow Strike Bumblebee... That's the one I really want! I'll even pay the full 20$ for it. This is truly MURDERBEE who went beyond the point of no return. DO WANT! I missed the 1st BH Bee. I'm not going to miss this one.

My first thought upon seeing Night Shadow Bumblebee was that he needed a head transplant with my DOTM Murderbee. Sadly, upon checking my BH Bumblebee, it appears as though the ball part of the balljoint is attached to the neck rather than the body.

Still, it does give an interesting look to BH Bumblebee because I unscrewed the face from his head and showed me that Bumblebee's eyes are attached to the back of his head rather than his face. So now I have Bumblebee's face without eyes sitting here on my desk, and the back of his head, WITH eyes, still attached to the body, It's creepy, I like it.

So yeah, gonna have to pick up BH NS Bumblebee here. I have an idea that involves glow in the dark paint or stickers or something. Or maybe pick up some red plastic "gemstones" at a craft store...

Also I think I'll need that Prowl. I hope they do a blue version of deluxe Smokescreen too, because I would be fine having all three and calling the blue one Bluestreak.

Hmm. Interesting. I like Prowl less than I should but Bumblebee more than I should. I'll probably end up getting them both. Lord knows I won't be buying much else from the tail-end of the Beast Hunters line.

From his concept artwork, I'd say Vehicon is probably a better retool choice for the guy, though he looks more to deserve his own mold than Prowl did.

WANT PROWL!!!

I was intially set on getting this Bee as well, but... though the colors are right, the mold is just too non-show-accurate enough for me to really, fully want this toy 100%. I might still get it, but it's now become less of a priority.

So, you dont want that Bee because it's not show accurate, yet you want a character that is not in the show at all.
Interesting.

I didn't say I don't want Bee. I just said I want it less.

As for Prowl, though not in the show, he exists in its continuity and is accurate enough to his sole existing TF: Prime-related CG model.

I'd prefer if they kept the smokescreen head for Prowl. I love most versions of Prowl but I don't like the visor look they're obviously homaging animated Prowl with. Don't get me wrong I love animated Prowl as a character just not the visor look. Plus that smirk seems wrong on a Prowl.
