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

I'll concur. They could've used Ultra Magnus' introduction for the promo clip. I mean, Predaking's debut certainly wasn't the climax of episode 54.
Quickblade Bumblebee's the closest to a S3-accurate Bee at the time being.

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.

Yeah, I took a look through the Prime Bumblebee images and that was my conclusion, too. And as Sabrblade pointed out, even he's not spot-on. Not that I doubt Hasbro will be quick to release a TV-color Bumblebee at some point soon, but couldn't the producers have used one of the existing black color schemes as a basis? It would actually make me want to buy PRID Shadow Strike Bumblebee more if they did. 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.

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

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:Not that I doubt Hasbro will be quick to release a TV-color Bumblebee at some point soon, but couldn't the producers have used one of the existing black color schemes as a basis?

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

I'm excited! Can't wait to see Shockwave, Ultra Magnus and Predaking in this episode.

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.
