I can't wait for the TLK Bee. I have this one, and I like him, but I like having the actual car make up the bulk of the robot far more than having the car hanging off the back.
Here I thought that High Octane Bumblebee was the only Bumblebee I was going to get from this line. Looks like I was wrong. This thing looks fantastic!
I'm usually not fond of movie bumblebee but this figure looks absolutely fantastic. I'm already sold on this guy. Definitely one of the best deluxe movie bumblebee's we've gotten to date.
Where I live, when they release a Bumblebee as the new Camaro, they always are impossible to find. When the first movie came out, I could only find the 76 Camaro Bumblebee. When ROTF came out, the only preview figure they had was of Soundwave. And the DOTM Bumblebee, same stiff at ROTF.
I'd expect paint mismatch on a toy at this price, but I'm REALLY worried about the Masterpiece Bumblebee coming out. They couldn't even match the red color in MP Sideswipe, and yellow has always been hardest to match.
The shurikens for me will serve another purpose. I plan to repaint them silver and hand them off to my Prime Knockout figure. They look like they would better suit him as saws than as some kind of throwing weapon...
If they could just make that hood piece able to hinge or compress under the backpack I think it would fix the profile a bit more but over all everything I've seen of this figure looks decent. I'll get one but I'm going for the premium painted version.
Peaugh, you knocked your camera over. Thank you. Now I feel much better about all of the hiccups in my own reviews. Also is it just me or does he look like waspinator with his mask down?
At SDCC they announced a Bumblebee/ Stinger 2 pack that's a Walmart exclusive (no picks). I would think they would do a "re-shell" of the Bee mold with a new head for Stinger.
They will probably change one part and that is the front, if were lucky. Then red paint will be thrown on it an well have a stinger. The movie toys are half assed. Get some good generations and masterpiece figures and save your time.
I was concerned at first about the non-grille chest, but it's really not that bad with a 3d view. And I like how they put in small robot parts all over the place, like the movie formers should be
Farscape reference! WOO! Besides that, anyone else thinking Waspinator with that visor? I can see a repaint in my future. Especially with that chestplate; it even looks like Waspinator's bug mode head.
The tabs that the front shoulder pads (the headlight sections of the car) tab into to secure in vehicle mode, the ones that were weakening for you, one of mine has literally snapped. It hasn't broken off yet, but I hesitate to turn it back into vehicle mode. Sadly I lost the receipt.
Don't go by the website. It has always seemed to be updated erratically at best, and I've only found figures I wanted on site while on shelves very rarely. Most often it seems figures hit the site as they wind down their time on the shelves.
It's a real shame they don't include the ACTUAL G1 figures in these - that would really make kids appreciate how far they've come, PLUS they're still fun to boot!
Lightning swirl443 I think he means the ones with virtually no articulation. The only good toy-line these days are the Generations, which are literally a spin-off of the originals with more articulation and better transformation.
good review and actually not a bad bumblebee figure. with the mask down it kind of looks like waspinators head to me :P if i do pick this guy up, however, i will not b calling him bumblebee lol
You guys know that there are still a lot of opportunities in the future for Hasbro to make Stinger if they don't in this toy line, right? P.S. I am loving this figure!
Stinger doesn't even transform in the movie! He disintegrates, then reforms! So he can't have a movie-accurate transformation, because he doesn't even TRANSFORM!!!! I SAW IT! ( same goes for Galvatron.)
you cant blame the toy companies for the easy transformations, they HAD to do that as the designs were more humanoid, take prime for an example, you can BARELY see any parts of him that seem like truck parts
I'm so angry I went to toys r us today and I saw this bumblebee and from the anticipation I didn't see and so when I got home I noticed that the left front light wad missing completely not there do now I have to go back and get a new one! What a mess
P.S. Peaugh, with your evasion mode prime are you having a trouble with paint coming off cos on the left foot of mine the paint is coming off and revealing the gray foot.
Awesome figure found him yesterday at my local toys r us! Great review!
8:50 _Maybe they're Frisbees_.
More like Frisbees of Death :D
"Hey, Cliffjumper, do you wanna play some Frisbee?"
"Sure! AHHHH! YOU CUT MY HAND OFF!"
I can't wait for the TLK Bee. I have this one, and I like him, but I like having the actual car make up the bulk of the robot far more than having the car hanging off the back.

I love the alt mode on this guy. He looks cool. Great review as usual!
2:58
Arrived one at my place. Half of roof higher for few millimetres too.
I liked the way you 'custom-transformed' bee on this, Peaugh! Great work =)
Thanks!
when you put bumblebee's battle mask at 10:37 and when you look at this face the yellow parts on it looks like another face but with yellow eyes
I think bee is ironically my favorite mold for movie 4 now. Has lots and lots of repaint potential.
This figure gives off a really big Waspinatorish vibe. Especially when you put down the battle mask.
best bee in a long time
thanks Peaugh now you convince me to get this guy which already at my TRU for a month already
He seems to be the first movie-line Bumblebee without the hood and grill in front for the chest; I like that. He looks really cool!
The beat up Camaro one? I love that one above all the other alt modes he got in these movies.
In this form, his front grill is still his chest, it just hard to notice because of how it transforms.
Where I live, when they release a Bumblebee as the new Camaro, they always are impossible to find. When the first movie came out, I could only find the 76 Camaro Bumblebee. When ROTF came out, the only preview figure they had was of Soundwave. And the DOTM Bumblebee, same stiff at ROTF.
Finally, a good movie Bee figure.
The Leader from DotM wasn't?
***** My favorite is the Classic Camaro Deluxe Class from the first movie
Lol good? That's quite a joke there.
murderbee/cyberfire
***** DOTM deluxe. to bad its badly painted
This review of yours has helped me long for this figure even more. :)
If you look closely at the CGI model of Bumblebee for AOE, you can see he does have shurikins on his back. So if keep them tabbed in back for accuracy
I like how the legs transform now. thank god they changed it. Love the Farscape reference. Thanks for the review. you rock.
this is the best bee ive seen so far
Wow i really like this figure!Hope its avalible on my country soon cus im waiting my whole life for this!!!
I'd expect paint mismatch on a toy at this price, but I'm REALLY worried about the Masterpiece Bumblebee coming out. They couldn't even match the red color in MP Sideswipe, and yellow has always been hardest to match.

Ah there's 2 of him and a lockdown at my toys r us. Getting those two.
I just found one at Toys R Us in Canada, but they never had any wave 2s
Peaugh, you knocked your camera over. Thank you. Now I feel much better about all of the hiccups in my own reviews. Also is it just me or does he look like waspinator with his mask down?
Does any one know if there in Australia yet or when they come to Australia
they cleverly hid two ptarradon heads on his chest to match strafe's chest, clever designers.
Oh yeah! I noticed that too!
I wonder if Stinger will be a heavy remold/retool of the concept bumblebee mold.
It probably will be
cappetro If we even get a stinger.

EagleBot13 yeah IF is the key word..
I was concerned at first about the non-grille chest, but it's really not that bad with a 3d view. And I like how they put in small robot parts all over the place, like the movie formers should be
I think this is the first Bumblebee I've actually wanted to buy...
Peaugh do all bumblebees have the battle mask or did u have yours from like takara
Farscape reference! WOO!
Besides that, anyone else thinking Waspinator with that visor? I can see a repaint in my future.
Especially with that chestplate; it even looks like Waspinator's bug mode head.
BrainComm487 Its a really really good show.
Actually if you remove the tabs on the bumper that tabs into the shoulder it doesn't change anything
Nice Review Man Keep Up The Great Work :D
This guy is so cool can't wait to get him
that Head sculpt just Screams Thanos for some reason..
#22 in the Thrilling30 line, yes?
The tabs that the front shoulder pads (the headlight sections of the car) tab into to secure in vehicle mode, the ones that were weakening for you, one of mine has literally snapped. It hasn't broken off yet, but I hesitate to turn it back into vehicle mode. Sadly I lost the receipt.
Update: It has now snapped off. Luckily there's still a little nub of it, so friction holds it in.
His arm cannons work EXACTLY like Prime First Edition Cliffjumper's
Are these in the Toys R Us in the states yet?
10:45
WAZZZZPINATOR wantzz a re-paintzzzzzz.
Will there be another voyager wave?
I still don't see him on the Toys R us website. U sure it's already being released in stores? Really want this figure, gotta know
Don't go by the website. It has always seemed to be updated erratically at best, and I've only found figures I wanted on site while on shelves very rarely. Most often it seems figures hit the site as they wind down their time on the shelves.

NOO I HATE G1 OLD TOYS
Then you have something wrong with you Andrew
Lightning swirl443 I think he means the ones with virtually no articulation. The only good toy-line these days are the Generations, which are literally a spin-off of the originals with more articulation and better transformation.
nickysticky100
that's true
Those shurikens are actually on his back in the movie.
Peaugh who is your favorite character of all 4 of the transformers movies
Does his mask fold down any further than that? It looks like it should, since it covered his whole face in the movie.
should i get battle blade bumblebee or the new one
Is this Bumblebee sold or out of stock?
good review and actually not a bad bumblebee figure. with the mask down it kind of looks like waspinators head to me :P if i do pick this guy up, however, i will not b calling him bumblebee lol
i wanna repaint this one into stinger for some reason
Am I the only one who thinks this Bee's face is creepy as hell? I know it's always been creepy, but this one is just creepier.
His face mask reminds me of Waspinator. I kinda really like that.
Good help me I might actually buy a movie bumblebee. That bug mask is really cool.
Peaugh is this a uncommon figure as I've seen the strake and slug one but not this so plz help
He only JUST started showing up at TRU. He'll be out in quantities matching Strafe and Slug soon.
Peaugh did you find this in stores or have it on pre-order?
It is showing up at TRU in the US.
Ah ok thanks
This guy looks quite big on camera for a Deluxe class.
thats a cool figure..but it doesnt look like bumblebee to me. maybe repaint it to be green and it could be some variation of wasp?
Thanks very much for kill all the mistransform rumors. Especially both shoulders. Or it would be like Gyrozetter GT-R.
those feet are not different to previous versions theyre almost the same as the rotf human alience
You guys know that there are still a lot of opportunities in the future for Hasbro to make Stinger if they don't in this toy line, right? P.S. I am loving this figure!
The first aoe figure I genuinely want. Going to grab this badboy
Does anyone know why there isn't human alliance toylike? Because of the movie? I really like human alliance toys tone honest
It is an unfortunate victim of the move to simpler transformations plus needing shelf space for all the new toy concepts they brought out.
Peaugh what do you use to record
I use my iphone 4s currently.
hey Peaugh did you have Deluxe Lockdown??
He did a review on it...
cappetro
So will there be a Stinger for Wave 3?
Stinger will come in a box set with first edition optimis prime and his tralier
And stinger is a repaint of ROTF deluxe sideswipe :(
Sorry it was supposed to be stinger but you never know
Intro music?
The wings. Are signiture where are they
How much is the set?
the only way that I see this figure can be fix is just give it a better paint job,Takara..do your magic
Stinger doesn't even transform in the movie! He disintegrates, then reforms! So he can't have a movie-accurate transformation, because he doesn't even TRANSFORM!!!! I SAW IT!
( same goes for Galvatron.)
I'm willing to bet we wont get a Stinger. What I think we will get is a Cliffjumper repaint with a remolded Stinger-esk head.
they should just repaint this figure red and stick the battle mask on
jeavonne miilwood well if you remember stinger wasn't a camaro
RMgealod Yeah, but Hasbro has become a bunch of mentally disabled cheapskates and we all know they aren't going to make a Pagani Huayra.
do they even have a licence or that
for
I like this version than the the High Octane version.
man i really want to get this guy but i almost have all of the autobots from the movie.
Ehhhh I'll just buy the Autobots United 5-pack to get this version of Bumblebee, plus I'll get the other four in the same pack
How you get toy
Way better executed than leader prime.
Lol, anything is better than him
you cant blame the toy companies for the easy transformations, they HAD to do that as the designs were more humanoid, take prime for an example, you can BARELY see any parts of him that seem like truck parts
I'm so angry I went to toys r us today and I saw this bumblebee and from the anticipation I didn't see and so when I got home I noticed that the left front light wad missing completely not there do now I have to go back and get a new one! What a mess
It doesn't matter if it brakes those pegs in the chest don't help anything
MechTech weapon is reprinted Jolt's weapon.
Really like this figure but high octane bumblebee isnt a camaero he us a dodge
High Octane Bee is a '67 Camaro SS
theundeadranger10 Do you know how moronic your sentence sounded?
I like the battle mask
With his visor down, why does this guy scream Waspinator? Hehe
Where did you buy him?
He's showing up at Toys R Us.
***** when
Oscar Osegueda
He started showing up a week and a half ago, he's slowing making his way to all the locations
I better check my local TRU next week! I've been waiting for this guy ever since the press release photos came out
Damn it. Another figure from the new line I want. Anyone want to give me a few hundred quid so I can go buy them ^^
P.S. Peaugh, with your evasion mode prime are you having a trouble with paint coming off cos on the left foot of mine the paint is coming off and revealing the gray foot.
Just wait for the whole autobot set to come out.
I already have three autobots. XD Cos I just want a lot of them
Rasallon I just got the new 2014 Bumblebee today and I'm definitely getting the Autobot Reunited pack because those have MUCH better paint on them
So I got the figure, wow, not as good in person. The paint has scraped off in two places already
is he 6 inch?
gimme a black repaint of this Bumblebee with a new chest, some weapons and call it Drive-By... XD
I'm getting this thing
Did you see your twitter post is on ABCNEWS.com?
I did.
Shrooken? why do people pronounce shuriken like that?
flip down the battle mask and become Waspinator
did not know ,and dont u mean wasp or stinger
i just got them today at toy's r us for $17.00
how much is it bro. even tho the picture is a girl im a boy ,yep a freakin 10 yr old .im a great fan know since i was 6
i already got him hes look cool
666 likes,I know what to do...
It needs to fold behind the head for the hood
Why does bumblebee always have to be a camero?
Why does Optimus prime always have to be a truck?
yeah megatron changes all the time why not they
No no no, its "why not them". ._.
