Transformers: The Last Knight Deluxe Bumblebee Variant Found in Canada

Posted by william-james88 Aug 8, 2017 at 12:59pm CDT 23,920 views
Thanks to our own Scotty P, we knew of the existence of a Deluxe Bumblebee variant with a movie accurate colour scheme in car mode (with the all black top) as seen in Transformers: The Last Knight. As with many toys though, variants are usually region specific, with particular different batches all sent to the same area. The Chromedome with the Takara head was never found outside the US for instance. So it was a fun surprise to see that this Bumblebee variant was found outside of the US. It has now been found in Montreal, Canada, which is where the photos below come from, at Walmart. If you are in another country, let us know if you too found this variant.

Um... Sorry, but what's the difference between this one and the TLK Bee I've had since a little before the movie came out? I've been looking at these pics and my bot and I'm just not seeing a difference.

No worries. What I find crazy is that Takara didnt even bother with this variant's more accurate paint apps either. This is their version, which is the same as the standard one:

So yeah, this variant is better than the takara version :D

how can you tell if you got a variant in the store? is the barcode different or anything?

The one with the black roof has the effect of partly showing through the roof (behind his back in packaging) if it's a normal one the yellow plastic is as normal if it's a black roof you can see the black colour bleed through (not literally) but you can tell it's different to the rest of the yellow that isn't partly painted black.

IIRC, it's pretty hard to tell on this Bumblebee. Your best bet is to shine a strong light through the front of the packaging and see if you can notice black paint on the other side of his backpack (the light'll shine through the plastic less if there's black paint on the other side). There might be other ways too that I'm unaware of, but as far as I know that's the easiest and most reliable way (for given values of "easiest" and "reliable") to check without opening the package.

EDIT: Dang, outsped as I was writing. Well, it's good to know I'm not remembering the concept of the process incorrectly.

Still don't get how hasbro have the nerve to charge £23 for that figure with or without the black roof when the superior AoE version could be found for ages for just £9.99 at Toys R Us and even had a bonus Generations Legends Bumblebee and mechtech gun included for extra value. It's the pack I bought even though I didn't even want the Legends Bee figure.

Crazy stuff. When's newBee out?

The new bumblebee is in wave 3 so it will probably be a while before you see it because wave 2 hasn't completely saturated yet

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait. . .

They went through all the work to give Bumblebee a plasma cannon arm just to have it only work on the WRONG ARM?! Bee's plasma cannon is a part of his right arm, not his left. I'm still getting the figure, It still looks great, but I may have to do some modding or something because that's really annoying.

I can't watch the vid at moment (just gaze lovingly at the main pic it shows) but does it say the right forearm can't be removed the same way the left can? Like are they not done the exact same way of joining to the upper arm? If it can then no problem I guess.

I just want that figure here so I can play with it already.

Looks like it may work on both arms for fans have been fans of transformers you think they would know how all deluxe, leader voyager figures articulation is by now they all move same way same with legend class all they do is transform differently

It seems like the cannon can go on his right arm, but the elbow won't bend in that direction. Hopefully there'll be more details on exactly how it works soon.

Hooray, a review of Crosshairs! I missed him the first time round during AoE and I've been thinking that this might be a good opportunity to get a hold of him (and not even at a higher price, given that Deluxe prices were already so crazy here that the Premier line isn't actually any more expensive than AoE toys were). I guess now I can make a proper assessment on the alterations to the figure and see if he'll be worth picking up when I see him 6 months from now.

(Also, you've got an extra dash in that first URL link D-Max. It's not really an issue honestly but if you're like me, I thought you'd want to be made aware that it's broken.)

Here is some odd news, the Reveal the Shield subline of Transformers the Last Knight is not exclusive to Target. At least not the entire subline. Seibertronians Cprime18, rodimusconvoy13 and Terrsolpix all found the Voyager Reveal the Shield Optimus Prime (the one with the pink dots everywhere) at Toysrus across the US. We don't have any images to share but that's enough sightings to conclude that this is true (also a reminder to all you wonderful fans sending us sighitngs, please be sure to send a picture too). The exclusive tiny turbo changer 3-pack has yet to be seen in the US so we don't know if it will show up at Target or Toysrus. Let us know when you gind that one! If any of you have seen this voyager or other hot toys, please let fans know in the sightings section and sightings forum.
