I'm ready for the little legion dudes baby!

[chuckdawg1999]

Um, are we sure if you order the figures from the site you'll GET those figures?

What makes you say that?

I wonder how well this line will do? Despite the collectors problems with the simplicity of the line, kids have no such objecions.

Previous bad experiences dealing with similar situations.

Would they happen to be with K-Mart?

Youuuu betcha! I still sometimes have nightmares. It's really neither here nor there since being in the US I can't order from Walmart Canada.

It's a little disappointing that they went with Camaro Bee intead of the better-looking VW Bee for the Titan Changer, and I seriously doubt that Optimus is going to be using his AoE/TLK body in this movie, so that one kinda feels like cutting corners just for the sake of cutting corners. Shatter looks nice, though, particularly for a "budget" figure.

Prime is using the Evasion Mode body in the movie. As Evidenced by the Legion toy, and the takara Leader Class Prime.

In Transformers: Bumblebee Movie news today, we move back to the toys - the simplified ones not part of the Studio Series line - with two new clips from Hasbro directly and their YouTube channel.

Both of these figures were first seen before and during San Diego Comic Con 2018, as you find in our galleries on the site here, and include the two major gimmicks of the next movie line toys for a younger audience: Power Charge Bumblebee and the lights, effects and motion DJ Bumblebee! Check them out below, and let us know what you think of the teasers, as we gear up for some more news this coming weekend.

I wouldn't be too sure as Prime is rumoured to appear on Cybertron. If you go by toys then that would mean Barricade and Tank megs would be in the film which he isn't as tank megs only appeared in Revenge of the Fallen.

Amazing that the Bee I'm exited the most for is the big Power Charge one.
I genuinely want that thing.

Agreed. It looks really killer

I would find it extremely strange if 2 different and entirely unrelated toys featuring the same body for the same movie would be toy only items.

There's also the question of whether Takara would actually release the Evasion Mode Leader Prime under the Bumblebee movie line if he was not actually in the movie like that. Why? It would just be confusing of that is the case.

[ZeroWolf]

Because that's what a g1 prime would look like? Prime is said to feature on Cybertron so he won't have an earth alt mode (he doesn't scan one till the '07 film)

Studio Series 18, Bumblebee Movie, Deluxe Bumblebee English review by Peaugh.

[Va'al]

After the initial official images of the upcoming Transformers Bumblebee Movie toyline figures - including some Studio Series items, of course - we now also have some additional angles to both the truck mode and the robot mode of the leader (?) class Optimus Prime Legendary Version from Takara Tomy, which we dissected a while back during Wonderfest 2018.

BB-02 Legendary Optimus Prime is a complete new mold based on the Age of Extinction Voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, with several new features, colors and parts, including some chrome. Currently listed at 6800 Yen ($61.24 at the time of writing), for a Japan release of October 2018 with still no official channel for a release outside of that market. Check out the turnaround images mirrored below, and join the discussion on Seibertron.com!

There's a way to import this. Amiami and hobbysearch. Sold out already at the former.

That Optimus is fine and all, but I'll only get it if I find it live in store and on sale.

I will pre-order it on amazon japan when it goes up because i don't want to be stuck with my only option being e-bay for 200$ next year

[Ironhidensh]

Have any pre order listings popped up yet?

It all depend on your want level. If you WANT it, you better pre-order it. Better safe than sorry.
But my want level for what is basically more of the same (IMO) is rock-bottom. That's why I'm more likely to pass if it's indeed just a Takara exclusive.

It's too big to go with Studio Series but I'd like to see it reecored and done up in movie Prime's traditonal flamey colour scheme and that might tempt me to buy it.

Might be a better fit within the normal bumblebee movie toyline. He does look like a fun toy but I'm happy enough to sit this one out.

[william-james88]

Yes, but sadly the amazon japan preorder only ships to japan

Yeah. Hm, dunno why i typed 'reecored'. I think I meant recoloured or redecoed and got some nonsensical mixture.

AmiAmi stealthily put their pre-order up without it going on the front page and it's already sold out. I really want this, but October is already pretty expensive thanks to MP Cordon and a few other non-transformers stuff.

Is he supposed to be in the Bumble Bee Movie Movie section toy thread?

Posted this last August 30. Any one pre ordered from the links I shared here? well I did.
