What's the gimmick?

 

Looks like it may be the battlemask?

 

Toy looks fantastic. Hope the door wings can be turned downward though like movie bee from the trailer.

Hasbro Pulse has also said they'll be doing reveals there from SDCC. And already revealed what looks like a silhouetted WFC Prime too that we may see revealed at the show.

Lights. Sounds. The orb in the torso can 'charge' to activate features too. Battle mask, stinger blade. Which is also why it's colors are slightly off in the middle.

 

That thing in his chest.

 

I want it.

 

After the letdown that was The Last Knight toyline, I was opening this link all ready to complain about another stupid pile of yellow plastic being passed off as a toy robot. But I’ve got to say, I’m pleasantly surprised. Credit where credit’s due, this is a nice toy.

It’s not my usual type, so I think I’ll give it a miss personally. However, it is nice enough that I might gently nudge my younger brother to buy it. Oh the advantages of having a younger sibling still in the target age group of the Transformers brand...

 

Not bad, I actually thought it was a mainline toy at first glance.

This could well be the 6800¥ BB from the Loopaza listings.

 

He appears to have a stinger. Animated reference? TLK foreshadowing.
"I sting like a bee."

 

I'm impressed that even though this is a gimmick toy it looks like something that could've come out of the 07 movie toyline.

 

This is how you do a toy - have a fun gimmick that doesn't come at the cost of the toy's articulation.

 

Rather interesting. A movie toy that has some gimmicks has full articulation, not to mention pretty amazing detail. Yet, the warrior class Cyberverse toys also have gimmicks but some of them have limited articulation and look rather bland. I’m almost tempted to pick this up when I see it just because it looks pretty decent despite being aimed at a younger age group.

 

Nice. Not a day 1 purchase but if they put this much effort into the rest of the line, I\'ll probably buy a few things.

 

Tbh it looks good for a gimmick my only problem is the design in the movie he doesn't have the door wings but the toys seem to have idk if this was concept design or not

 

Pretty Awesome.

Is this suppose to be the Deluxe toy of the Bumblebee Movie line?

 

“Old toy design” has warped my brain. I can’t help but see little gray feet on top of his actual feet. Can’t unsee it now.  

Edit: Can’t help thinking of the lift shoes from Seinfeld.
Everybody knows that you're heightening.

 

*another post saying that it's a genuinely good gimmick toy*

It really does look like a Fast Action Battler with electronics to me. And I mean that in a good way. Those are a prime example of gimmick toys done right. ...er, were. I think this takes their place now.

Looks to me like he's fashioned himself a version of Gipsy Danger's Chainsword - or more accurately, Gipsy Avenger's, since this one'll probably get all covered in electricity.  

 

It looks great! Best movie Bee so far.

 

Fast action battlers have returned for good.

 

No, the deluxe will be in the Studio Series line, this is part of the main Bumblebee line, all gimmick toys, though I think it's in its own larger size class rather than part of a general assortment. Think this is what was listed as Power Core Bumblebee
