    You know I've been curious about this, but what if takara tomy released an image of it publicly and hasbro didn't. Is it safe to post that? Even if hasbro disapproves? I agree whole heartedly on the scans issue, but that shouldn't restrict foriegn previews. That's rather a pain as well when hasbro calls things a secret or mulling a surprise over that's already known widespread in Japan. One of the main reasons why I won't get the collectors magazine for awhile.

    Ah well, as for BumbleBee, Dead on, I'm in love.
    Must... own... all of... classics...

    Astrotrain is the only one I might pass on, and it's not because I don't like him etc, it's cause I just never was an Astrotrain fan.

    But I'll admit his new toy is Superb.

    Here's hoping this is the start of a Gen 1 revival with new series, as they'll need to keep the hype moving before/during/after the movie. Plus wouldn't be that bad to replace all of Gen 1 with CG of all the new bots and more (or if they keep this line up, a toymation), and just use the enhanced 5.1 Audio tracks. So lets make sure classics are sold out everywhere, the fans demand more :-D

    Bumblebee is fantastic. But I will be equipping him with a proper Autobot symbol on his chest. The rubsign will be relocated.

    And he needs a gun.

    All I can say is... cry more.

    Until the 'International' *spit* Collectors Club starts giving a better deal to International fans I'll happily support these information leaks and laugh at club members fans sick sense of entitlement of a few pictures.

    Whats the worst that will happen? Hasbro stops giving the club early pics and everyone has to wait that bit longer? *shrugs* So?

    And I doubt Hasbro really cares if the pics get spread early from a 'protect the club' point of view. The silly, arrogant runners of the club on the other hand?

    I worked on SOME of them in different capacities, from concept to aesthetics and detail works, all for Hasbro.

    however, I did not work on Bumblebee but for some reason he does sport a head more remeniscent of the one I did for DWG1, even down to the chin:D 

    One wonders if any of them will be sporting one of those spiffy fist-vents soon :rolleyes2 

    Feels pretty good, though it's no chick-magnet..

    I've said before, the only thinkg I dislike about this line is the lack of faction symbols. The rub signs are nice for those who like them, but I want real insignias. I can tell I'll be sending in an order to Rerolabels.

    Why does Bumblebee never get a gun? :confused:

    :lol  I was at a friend's birthday party yesterday, and made it a point to chat up the hottest girl there, and mention that I collect Transformers. Her eyes couldn't have glazed over any faster!

    Luckily, I made sure to ask her about all the boring crap that was important to her. Pretending to listen to them, THAT's the chick magnet!

    Bumblebee has a gun 1/2 the time. his first G1 and G2 bodies didnt have one, and neither did goldbug. but his pretender, actionmaster, and gobot bodies all had guns.

    he's not a combatant though, so it doesnt bother me that he doesnt have a gun this time around.

    I'm glad astrotrain keeps his big-ass gun from the old days though.

    If his fist holes are the same size as what has been used in Armada, Energon and Cybertron figures, I'm sure I'll find a good-looking gun for Bumblebee. Maybe Scattorshot's. Or part of that jetski/jet pack will form his gun.

    Bumblebee needs a gun like Optimus Prime needs a blender to make strawberry daiquiris. He's just not a fighter.

    I'm going to assume the money was for much more than information.

    If not, then you wasted your money. The internet doesn't care if you paid for it or not.

    That's a bit of a lousy attitude to have there. Yeah the club screws over it's international members, but how is it the fan's fault? I mean if it's the club you dislike why take it out on the fans?

    In a way, those that have paid are being given a bennie for their money so yes these early peeks are some thing that's paid for and should be respected. Like them or not, they are supported by Hasbro.

    And please, do not get me wrong, I don't support those who have access to sneak peeks lording it over others' heads either. And I know that you can't stop the few who don't care who do spoil things for everyone else. It's the internet, there will always be those who try to ruin things for others. But there is no "good" reason in my book to enjoy it.

    That said, I'm surprised no one has noticed some fairly obvious repaints for Classics Bumblebee.

    1. Cliffjumper (hopefully with a remolded head)
    2. Hubcap (same head different color than G1/G2)
    3. Wheelie (could work with or without a new head)
    4. Runabout (Needs a new head and a gun, no jet ski)
    5. Runamuck (same as Runabout)
    6. Camshaft (in a pinch if the head is changed and you want to really milk the mold)
