New Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee Toyline Sightings + Video Review

Not overly interested in this line (I’ve never really understood the hype surrounding Bumblebee) but I might try to seek out that core class figure simply for the Exo-Suit Spike.

Actually the more I see of it, the more I get annoyed. I was thinking/hoping that with Cyberverse ending, there would be more room on the shelves for WFC and SS, since no new main line has been announced by Hasbro. It's odd because leaks, and eventually promotion, start several months in advance about most lines, and even sub-lines, but THIS seemingly came out of nowhere. It's almost like with no live action movie, and no series to promote- Hasbro was lost, and decided to clog Target shelves with this "filler" that nobody asked for. Why is it this stuff is everywhere now, but Kingdom and SS that most fans have been anticipating are scarce??

As much as I dislike Walmart, the Netflix, and TR Headmasters in Original Series style packaging is pretty creative. Target definitely got the short end of the stick on exclusive sublines this time around.

That is one sassy looking Megatron.

What really shock me is the price of the set. 28$CAN plus taxes! A core figure retail for 15$CAN. So what in the actual fok? As if they charge full Core price for the tiny spike figure.

For how much does this set sell for in the USA? Is the price similar to the Canadian one, or are we Cannucks screwed over like we are for Gigawatt?

Bee retails for $15 USD, compared to $10 for a standard core class. Definitely seems like Canadians got the short end of this stick.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to TFW2005 user, Megatron Unicronus, we now know that the recently revealed listing for a power charge Bumblebee in the Target Exclusive Buzzworthy Bumblebee line, was indeed just a re-release of the Power Charge Bumblebee from the 2018 Bumblebee Movie toyline. This toys' central gimmick was the sphere in the chest of his robot mode that you could spin to activate lights and sounds. There appears to be no change from its first release.



Will you be tempted to pick one of these up? Did you get one on its first visit to store shelves three years ago?

Shout out in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

IMO my best purchase of the Bee Movie line at the time.

A decent Target sale or coupon code might just tempt me to get this for my youngest. I personally don't like the electronics in my collection, but this might be right up her alley.

I recently added the new Core Class G1 figures from Kingdom to my collection. At first, I was happy to skip them, given that I didn’t really need smaller figures of characters I already have, but I wanted to get some desk toys for myself, and these Core Class figures serve that purpose nicely while also being surprisingly fun and well designed figures in there own right. Since the Decepticons currently out number the lone Autobot in the Core Class of the Kingdom line, I picked up the Buzzworthy Bumblebee 2-Pack of “Core Class” G1 Bumblebee and Exo Suit Spike to keep Optimus Prime company. I am again surprised by how fun a little figure this Bumblebee is! He looks like a nice update of his G1 toy, the transformation is involved, but not frustrating, and everything tabs in VERY well. His robot mode has great articulation for his size, and he even comes with his own pistol accessory that stores out of sight in vehicle mode. The scale is a bit off with the other Core Class G1 characters out so far, but it’s fine by me. He’s still shorter in robot mode compared to the other three, though he really should be quite a bit smaller still. The Spike figure is nothing special, just serving to inflate the MSRP to $14.99 USD, but “Core Class” Bumblebee is worth it, even if you also need to pay an extra $5.00 for a lackluster, barely transforming figurine.

Greetings Seibertronians! Thanks to a tip off from fellow Seibertron user, Mindmaster, we've got our first peek at a new figure hitting the Target Exclusive Buzzworthy Bumblebee line!



The images were posted by UK Transformers stockist, In Demand Toys, on their Facebook page. The four images give us a good look at Bee, who transforms into the flying saucer like alt mode as seen in the pilot of the G1 cartoon. He so comes with Energon rods, and what appears to be the jet pack from the Centurion accessory set.

The back of the box says he transforms in 23 steps. The toy appears to be the same size as Deluxe Class Netflix Bee/ Earthrise Cliffjumper.







What do you think of this? Will you be tracking down this Cybertronian alt mode of Bumblebee?

Finally! This is the first Bumblebee in a loooong time that I’m excited for!

Oh! This is unexpectedly welcome. I'm kinda into it. But I passed on Siege Screamer so I'll pass on this. I don't need Cybertronian versions of all the characters, after all.

Maybe there's some hope they'll do Wheeljack and Jazz.
