Well, the human look well-scaled to me!
Yay! Finally i can re-enact the pwnage of Frenzy!

Looks like Scorpo has some new sand detailing.
I'm glad to see that the tow truck has the proper name written on his side this time. And the human driver is a bonus. But if I'm going to pay for a Replica figure, I expect the WHOLE figure. I'd just use your Concept Camaro and pop the ball-jointed hips off I bought it.

I have a feeling these will all be US exclusives, anyway.

Interesting..

Good way for Hasbro to sell even more versions of 08 Bumblebee!

by **Jaz-Zen** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 5:19 pm

Hey, I'll get these if I find them, but they'll definately stay MISB as display pieces. I may be rebuying the TFs, but I think the scenes are cool enough to warrent buying the TFs again.

I never got Scorp, cause I think he sucks by himself, but with humans in a cool display scene, he's cool.

Oh, and yeah, the Suite in Capture of Bumblebee DOES look like Bush.

Overall, great idea, and good execution.

i want barricade!!!!! and MAYBE gray bumblebee

Oh I hope that is peeing BB!

If I see these I'll gladly get them, then say "DAM", as I just expanded and I'm out of shelf space again!

i'd love to get the concept BB set, though the gray plastic worries me, might have another set of QC issues with them, now that the movie line started using craplastic on most of the toys. but at least we have a true new recolor, even if it's just gray.

i hope they release these internationally. if i get it this might actually be the first TFs that will ever stay in the box for me. LOL.

I'll get these. I've been holding out on Scorponok, I want him
but this sweetens the deal. I like the differences with Longarm
Bumblebee is also cool. If they haven't changed anything with
Barricade, I wont bother.

hmmmm

don't really know what to say.. i mean the final Battle Bumblebee is nice, i haven't gotten a BB 08 yet, they are always sold out!! I never got a long arm figure, so the 2-Pack is a definite for me, plus it has the towing co. name.. but the figurines and all kinda make them feel a little cheesy if you ask me...

The human figures might be cheesy, Warpy, but at least they aren't loli...

Plus, it seems like Longarm's human can fit in the driver's seat!

whats the difference aboyt scorponok

News Credits: 1082 · by **Tigertrack** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:09 pm

So does anybody see these as being DVD release type things like Walmart did with SW figure packs when the movies were released on DVD?

I'm thinking that could be it.

The only one I want is Longarm/Micaela/ 1/2Bee... the others are a pass until a sale, if they make it that long.

He's been painted to look like he has sand encrusted in in armor plating.

by **nintendofreakgcn** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 7:21 pm

Well, if I have the money, I'll get the two Bumblebee sets for my BB collection, and I'll most likely get the Barricade set as well, to have a proper, in-scale Frenzy and because I can't find any Barricade anywhere.

As for Scorponok, I can't decide between getting him in this set or the 2-pack with Blackout (can't find the regular Blackout anywhere, but there are loads of the 2-packs around here at the moment). Meh, if I even have enough money to make this decision, I'll consider myself lucky.

nice sets, will there be more?

that bumblebee repaint looks like a$$. everything else looks pretty neat, though.

by **kitonight** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 9:00 pm

I'm deffinetly will keep them in the box if they ever come by

by **megatroptimus** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 9:08 pm

Interesting... I wish the human characters were available separately...

I agree. Now lest see them do the same when the new Universe line comes out. Why not re-release some of the old Classics figures and include mini G1 human figures with them as exclusives?
Starscream with Dr. Archevile
Megatron with Kremzeek
Bumblebee with Spike
Hot Rod with Daniel
Grimlock with Chip

Too bad they never did a Classics Tracks or else they could include Raoul with him. Same goes for Wheeljack(or Ratchet) and Sparkplug.

Hmm...

I hope these are decently priced. I want to be a completeist for the movie line but it keeps getting harder. I like that the variations in paint job etc are there to make it worth considering even if you already have the deluxe... It might not be enough for everyone, but I'll probably go for 'em.

Don't give them ideas. I don't want to have to rebuy all of my Classics to get human mini-figures!

But TF Character humans on LoC-sized cards would be a great idea.

Long arm is awesome, get him on site!

Looking at the pics, battle damaged BB should have his battle face down. Tem million versions and we keep getting that stupid pacifier!

Now I do like these, but I've been saying it for a while now, Hasbro needs to look at some of the BanDai BD Gundams for ideas in the Battle Damage dpt.

It's cool that they're trying, but still some more effort in paint and scrapes would just realy drive this figure home(no pun intended)!
