Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron users, Tuned Agent and EvasionModeBumblebee, have let us know that YouTube toy reviewer, TonTon Reviews has got ahkd of a toy that we hadn't even seen leaks of other then a listing: Transformers Studio Series Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Class Bumblebee!

This Bumblebee represents how he was in the second live action film (when his vehicle mode was now the 2008 production Camaro instead of the prototype Camaro that was the basis for his alt in the 07 film). It is a retool of the previously released Dark of the Moon Deluxe Class Bumblebee. This figure comes with a non-poseable figure of Sam Witwicky running. This possibly represents the character running to revive Optimus with the Matrix as seen in the finale of the film.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

What do you think of this review? Are you getting this Bumblebee to add to your hive? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

Once again, we're getting leaks of the toys before Hasbro properly announces them. That Pulse event from last time would have been PERFECT to reveal this Bee and the other live-action guys. That being said, this year's Bumblebee looked better than the upcoming one.

So are you blaming the leakers for ruining it or Hasbro for dragging their feet?

Blaming Hasbro for being slow. I get that the pandemic affected the way they reveal toys, and it made them at least be a little slow with the reveals or distributions, but it's kind of mindblowing how long they take to reveal these toys after physical copies of them leak to whoever gives them to PvP and TonTon in the online alleyway.

No door wings. No shoulder launcher. No speakers. No frills. Just a solid figure.

SS 86 Jazz is literally a mini MP, as expected.

Now if only the REAL MP could become reality.

RotF Bumblebee is probably my favorite Bee design from any of the movies (except maybe '67 Camaro Bee from AoE). The base mold looks amazing, so I've been looking forward to this retool. I really want to like this figure.

But man, that deco is bad. Why is the paint on the front of the car so... unfinished? Couldn't they have just picked either around the grill or along the bumper to fully paint, instead of half-painting both? And why is the grey plastic so light??? I legit thought this was a test run or a prototype before I realized it is the actual figure. The retooled parts look great, but the deco just makes both modes an eyesore. Maybe it'll grow on me, but right now it's pretty disappointing.

One way to check is to look for any car licensing on the packaging. If there is, we may see an MP Meister yet.

Spoilers.... There is none. SS86 Jazz unfortunately is not a licensed Porsche, as much as it looks like one.

But does it have to be licensed though?
Just a few mods to the vehicle like for the SS figure and they are in the clear.

Would be the first MP car outside of Hot Rod to not be licensed if that were the case.

Not impossible, but kind of strange for a line priding themselves in Vehicle and robot mode cartoon accuracy that has in fact licensed every other real world car.

Considering the original toys were exact replicas of vehicles (albeit unlicensed due to lack of proper legislation at the time), called out as such, and animation models were made based on them, it's not strange at all. The Mini-Bots were Super-Deformed, yes, but the original Microman toys called out the exact models of 3 to 4 of them.

What I mean is it would be strange for Takara to not license the Porsche alt mode for the MP line if they ever get around to making Meister.

The point being Takara has licensed the vehicle mode of every other real world car in the MP line so far, so would be strange for them to not actually want to license the Porsche alt mode for Meister.

The fact the SS86 Jazz is unlicensed is not terribly surprising.

There's some new SS news at last. I am happy he comes with Sam, but still wish he had the shoulder cannons.

Hopefully a Dino reveal is in the future here too

They could reveal them both by having Dino ride Slag in triceratops mode. :-?

After picking up Blitzwing, Off Road Bumblebee, and Cliffjumper this week, I decided to go back and complete the set by buying car Shatter and Dropkick, who I had previously passed on. Dropkick is going to take a while to get here, but Shatter was pretty fast. I had heard car Shatter was bad and car Dropkick was good, but having her in hand, she's one of the worst Transformers I've ever handled, and I own Airachnid. Hard to believe this is a 2019 figure with that amount of kind and minimal articulation. Jet mode is far superior.

On the flip side, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper are pretty fun and while of course CJ being a retool of Bee is a tale as old as CHUG, the extent of this retool is absolutely incredible.

Blitzwing is okay but he looked a lot cooler before I got him out of the box. His chest doesn't hold together well and the back of the jet just looks like they gave up. Fortunately I can't tell a Harrier from a Blackbird so the apparent alt mode inaccuracy doesn't bother me.

Also obligatory DID YOU THINK YOU COULD HIDE shot

Jet mode Shatter is one of the best and most fun figures of the line, she's just really neat!
