Well,they woulda painted him black. then againagain. if they make beast hunters smokescreen blue from the start,it would make some sense... unless takara did that already.

 

Shadow Strike Bumblebee is show-accurate.

 

Only if I paint it black...or turn off the lights in my room.

 

But does it have a show accurate shade of black?

 

The only one from this wave that I'll ger is Prowl.

 

 

I never knew there was a difference between light black and dark black...

 

None more black.

 

How can you tell what color his eyes will be? He may have translucent blue for his weapons, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will have them for his eyes. Knowing Hasbro though that probably will be the case though.

Which brings up another question. Can I swap eyes from regular BH Bee to this Bee?

 

Disappointing that the last Deluxe is more Bumblebee.

 

I bought the shadowstrike, and switched all parts possible with the prid one, and tried to make an all grey bee...that's how bad I want an ALL black one with yellow parts.

Exactly. Shadowstrike bee is NOT the black one from the show for me.

hmmm..yes..grey is a shade of black...I would still rather have what I see on the show. That Bumblebee, alt mode and bot mode are fantastic. It's the best looking BB I can think of.

And it won't get made.

 

Someone did a custom Prowl from Smokescreen and it looked amazing.
Bee looks great in stealth colors, will get him too.

 

Prowl will be mine.

BB blugh! and the other 2 with the wave...meh.

 

Prowl looks interesting. hope he has a new head. i like the mold

 

Or another case of "ends up at Ross/Marshalls for half off" - you never know!

 

^This.

Why did they bother making Smokescreen whitish/silver to begin with instead of his awesome Blue BT colours.

I'd probably would buy Prowl and Bumblebee regardless.

 

Awesome but really, do we seriously need another bumblebee -_- if it was FE that would better cuz the technical did a RID version

 

I'll probably get Prowl but I definiterly would have rather had Smokescreen in his Alt/ BT colors as the repaint. Maybe Takara will do it with metallic paint...normally I don't care about shiny paint but I think the dark blue would look awesome.

The black BB repaint sadly has me interested. I like black. Dammit.

 

Prowl is bought. Ratchet showing up again is kinda baffling; would have preferred a Jet Vehicon or something. Stealth Bee would have been bought if they used the FE (my preferred mold) or even the RiD mold. I've no interest in the BH version so he's a pass. Skystalker depends on whether or not he (and his fellow Predacons) turn up in the show (and not just in static flashbacks).

 

- Ratchet = ugh! Why repaint another shelfwarmer?
- Prowl = I want!
- Bumblebee = maybe
- Skystalker = maybe, is it much different from the older version?

 

If we could only see Prowl's head it might fit the description of the concept art. It's hard to tell.
