New Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series 2 Packs Found at Target Reveal SS High Octane Bee

Posted by william-james88 Jul 25, 2021 at 8:20am CDT 38,678 views
So lots of news to get through on this Target find. A new case of Transformers product was found at Target and inside it were four boxes of four packs (as it says on the case). We then got images of three of the boxes found inside. They are all repacks of Studio Series figures and those figures are:

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.

You forgot another TLK "Reissue" with K.S.I Boss, who was a "premium painted" version of TLK Nitro Zeus.

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

That's not an SS High Octane Bumblebee, that's clearly just the AOE figure repackaged. I should know, I actually have it.

Well I guess I'm getting another Bumblebee because I missed out on SS Barricade and I want it.

I thought one of the new 2 packs had 2 versions of Bee in it…
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.

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 this is all that High Octane Bee is going to get in Studio Series, then I'll be rather disappointed. A new mold of that design was one of my biggest wishes for this line.

We have new US Sightings for the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line. Firstly, the Crash Combiners Primelock and Bumblegrim were found at a Target in Milltown, New Jersey. Secondly, at that same Target, the Worlds Collide 4 pack (the one with Fangry) was also found. While it was previously found at Walmart, it was never in the system. This time, it very much is, since we've already seen the listing for this Target exclusive, and is priced at $84.99 USD. The Walmart inventory was clearly a mistake and you should probably only look at Target if you are on the hunt for this set.

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.

Thanks @ZeroWolf. Didn't know Tesco was 1 to check.

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).
