    Anyone think Eric just wanted to make a better Bumblebee, but had to give him this accessory to get Hasbro to approve it?

    That is a new BB mold. Clearly it's not the deluxe. They look a lot alike, but they are definitely not the same.

    This BB seems to have been inspired by the Activators version.

    Wow, I like these! BB's bot mode is a welcome improvement, and his underwater gear is weird, in a good way.

    Gold Grimlock is beautiful.

    That BB looks like it won't transform. I'll wait until I'm sure before buying.

    Grimlock, pass.

    Interesting... Bumblebee doesn't have a fake chest.

    Kinda contradicts his in-show transformation though, which appears to HAVE the fake chest in later episodes.

    Bumblebee gets a sweet new ride, definitely picking that up. It's like he's a M.A.S.K. agent!

    Sort of...

    And do my eyes deceive me, or does it look like his booster rockets attached to the wings can still plug into his car mode...?

    Why Hasbro? WRRRRRYYY!?
    I was content with not getting another TF:A Bumbles. I mean, the first one was good- I didn't need that Elite gaurd or the mini-versions... but this... I... I have to have THIS :( !
    It's okay wallet... we don't need to eat...

    They show his alt mode in the pics.
    It's plugged into the hydrodive accessory thing.

    Hmm... Grimlock pass but that Bumblebee looks nice but its not must have maybe if in the show. This Bumblebee looks alot better than the deluxe we got without the scuba gear on him.

    Look at the first pic again - he's clearly transformed in alt mode there.

    I don't care if this version of BB doesn't have stingers - if it's in better scale, I'm all over it and will be leaving the Centurion add-on pack in the box.

    I'm liking the Bumblebee, but I'm a little dissapointed with Big Grim. I was hoping for a blue G2 Grimmy!

    I didn't even think of that as a Grimmy repaint. Now you've got ME disappointed too! :cry

    *looks at pictures again*

    Then again, BB does look cool as a submarine.

    I really don't understand Golfire Grimlock at all. Bumblebee, on the other hand... :bay 
    Hopefully BB's Hydrodrive thingy makes it into S3. And if you look closely at Bunblebee's 2nd pic, it looks like he has a new battle mask, but it's just the techno-detail molding in front of his silver face. The 2nd pic kinda makes me think that he has a clear helmet around his head, which looks pretty cool.

    The only way I'd ever buy another Grimlock is if they gave him G2 colors (same for all the Dinobots).

    That BB is mighty interesting though. Although I find it funny that Bumblebee got a size increase over, say, Lugnut or Ratchet.
