I'm incredibly disappointed by this. I'll bet we'll get one in one of the future movie lines. Still...

Movie lines are the primary part of my collection, with a bit of CHUG and a heavy dose of 3rd party thrown in. (Probably more 3rd party than CHUG...although I should probably do a count.) As for BKG? Thanks, but no thanks. I'm fine with the copper colored mass release one.
Now, the redeco/remold of Optimus that's coming? Oh yeah, that one's preordered.

People were expecting a re-shelled retool rather than a straight redeco.Fires_Of_Inferno wrote:I don't see what people are disappointed about. This is exactly what I thought a deluxe Stinger figure would be.
But the thing is, guys, though Hasbro didn't state this publicly at the panel, it was stated at the Hasbro booth at BotCon 2014 that there were indeed plans to remold Bumblebee into Stinger as a full blown Pagani, but the figure never made it all the way through the production process and was dropped. Thus, no remolded mold for Stinger exists, leaving it to fall to Takara to give us a straight redeco.

No, there's only one Stinger in the movie's final battle. Those multiple red bots you see are Traxes.BERSEKAEL wrote:Well I think this is right, just a pre movie concept as the plot says: "based on Bumblebee, but improved in every aspect... Stinger" therefore is an attempt before taking the pagani shape, besides Stinger has many forms in the movie so this should be just one of those.

On the plus side, because he is a shellformer it should be easy for an enterprising fan to convert him into a proper Pagani.

1) Why do people never follow the "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" principle? We all expected a simple redeco at the very least, anything more would have been a bonus.
2) This is probably the first red Movie-verse Bumblebee that isn't a Cliffjumper.
3) It seems red is the universal color of bad luck for cars. Ratchet was changed from the planned red to his current neon green, Dino and Stinger both have toys that do not match their car models in the movie (except for Dino's Speed Star and Stinger's One-Step toy).

i know right? some of you were so desperate for a stinger that they bought that silly little thing. now theres a real one, to fit with your other real figures, and its not enough? make your own then.Doubledealer93 wrote:im excited, i need a stinger. i refuse to buy a one step changer.
id have liked a new head, but i have a contingency for that: BB mask up, stinger mask down. done deal

That is not Stinger. More like Cliffjumper to me. But still, it ain't no Stinger.

The rest of us Hasbro buyers are stuck with an undersized Lockdown and Galvatron against an army of Bots and Dinos.
Maybe Lost Age Takara will also make the blisteringly obvious repaint and come out with an official AOE Bludgeon? Like this:

yeah really, im happy this thing is made. its better than the one step changer, legends, and power battlers. i will get him. i can deal with it not being his own mold. unlike some people. im just happy to have one.

Well, it's not the toymakers' fault that there weren't any Decepticons in the movie.Shuttershock wrote:Say what you want about Takara, at least they're trying to fill out the Con team.

That's true. AoE really gave the Cons the shaft in terms of representation. Three named guys, and only two recognizable names. (Drones/Giant worms don't count as characters)
Which is a shame, because I might have liked Stinger as a regular Con, if he had a personality and got to stick around to be a proper rival to BB. I still find it funny that BB "hates cheap knockoffs", but scans the exact same body as his knock-off.

... actually, could've saved those '07 repaints for exclusive sets instead of replacing mainline spots.
Posted by lonrac on November 6th, 2014 @ 10:12am CST
with all the bumblebees, looking forward to being able to have the mold as somebody else.

Found a few pics recently over on Weibo.com/TFClub of Evasion Optimus and others but not sure if they are MA or LA or just some customs/digis?
Nice all the same..!!
Mods feel free to move or delete if these are in the wrong place!

Ah, I think it must have been the lighting which threw me! Ive taken a look at the Battle Breakout pics but they must have been Hasbros Photoshopped ones?
Never mind eh!

Will be really expensive to get... I wonder if they're leaving the hitch alone for an MP Trailer to use.

Too bad it didn't come with alternate head(s) and or some power ups that would make Armada leader class Optimus Prime jealous
But I will keep quiet a little and not complain

the face switching pics? dont think so. they appear to be "new" news on a number of sites. you should really let go of your anger towards the news staff guy.KirbyForce1 wrote:These images were already released some time ago.
