You made a time machine... out of a Bumblebee?
Yes, cue masses of Back to the Future/Men in Black quotes.
Anyway, the toy seems to boast the same visual style as Voyager Prime (split windows, solar panels etc.), although it looks a lot better, bar the Mechtech weapon as usual. It would be cool to redeco, but I think we've all seen so many Bumblebee toys that this one is kind of passing over our heads.

Dammit, you beat me to it!
I dunno, depending on the bot mode or future repaints, I might actually be interested in this simply because I'm a huge Back to The Future fan.

Bumblebee's been cast in a Back to the Future reboot film!
I've got to admit, there is no way I'm going to pass this up. That is one badass Bumblebee if you ask me. Custom 2011 Camaro + twin jet engines = epic win.
Maybe this is an armed mode much like the Wreckers, perhaps?

I can tell you this much for certain...come July 4th, those fake rockets are getting replaced and when this toy "reaches 88 MPH, you're going to see some serious sh..."!

No thanks.
Had it been a different character, maybe. But ANOTHER bumblebee ... really?

I'm totally getting two of these and painting one silver.
Silverbug, perhaps?

I also liked it. It would be nice if they Hasbro released a "jet-version" of each Autobot in the movie.
Of course, the robot mode should be cool as well ...

Read this, agreed...but then happened to notice your avatar and had to
Dark of the Moon figs have sucked pretty hard overall, but I'm still not sure if they've out-lamed ROTF Demolisher yet...

Yeah, maybe he has a Wrecker-esque armed mode, like the Topsin toy.

The seller - kabutodj has uploaded some new images of the figure, both robot as well as alternate modes.

I'm all for them making these easier for kids and therefore more playable, but I'm not at all fine with them making them THIS dumb and stripped down.
How do you go from "Wow, pretty neat" for the first movie toys, to "WTF? These are like miniature Masterpieces! This is insane!", to "Wow. Armada much?" I mean, seriously, what a de-evolution this has become. As for a possible Armada comparison comment, to which I would respond, "Hey! Armada had some cool stuff, these just suck!"

I won't give in to the Bumblebee craze though... I'l just buy this, make like a tree, and get out of here.

The awkward looking hunch back leader class and this piece of shit reallllllly make me worry about what bumblebee will look like in DOTM. As for me, I will be BUMBLEBEE FREE in the upcoming toyline. Battle-blade bumblebee, HA Bumblebee and the Battle Ops bumblebee are IMO the best looking bumblebee's were gonna get.

They will have to have a spectacularly cool version for me to shell out for yet another BB.

I really haven't liked any Bumblebee figure after that.
Posted by OptiMagnus on March 15th, 2011 @ 7:26pm CDT
This is the most worthless piece of slag Hasbro has ever made. They need to stop making so many worthless Bumblebees and listen to the true fans and the collectors that keep the brand going instead of making stupid stuff the kids want.
Do I believe that? NO! I am about to DEFY you ALL! Brace yourselves, because what you are about to read may make you want to kill me.
I think this is the best looking deluxe movie Bumblebee we've ever gotten (at least in robot mode). They've finally got the torso construction done right. And the doors and wheels on his back are finally placed and angled correctly. And hopefully those new feet are on some sort of joint so the figure can actually stand up. Plus, he has two hands, proportioned arms, and an unobtrusive MechTech weapon.
As for the alt-mode, it just screams Back to the Future time machine to me. The rockets are a neat feature IMO, and he'll fit well with the Wreckers. Even more, look at all of those MechTech ports. A potential to turn this thing into a killing machine. I hope the rockets turn into a jetpack. I'm just not completely sure if this alt-mode is the best way to go. However, it is a huge step away from the myriad of repaints and retools that all look the same in alt-mode. I can't help but like it though.
But overall, I say he's WINNING!
