    It was reported as deluxe from the recent Hasbro Australia event.(whether this was accurate or not)

    Perhaps Hydrodive Bumblebee is a deluxe figure bundled with legends figures or something extra to sell at voyager price point.

    Golfire Grimlock? Somehow the name reminds me of Godzilla. Maybe Grimlock will be Godzilla-colored?

    And hell yes to Arcee getting a toy.

    This Voyager bumblebee sounds fascinating, I'm trying hard not to let my imagination run it's course because I want to be impressed by this.

    arcee: yes

    electrostatic soundwave: better have a new minion like ravage,rumble or frenzy

    golfire grimlock: see images...probably won't buy it

    wtf a voayger BB....that should be going to someone who actually needs a toy like thudnercracker or ramjet.

    I think people are overreacting to the Voyager Bumblebee listing. It's pretty much guaranteed to be the new mold we've known about since Botcon. Which means the accessory he comes with is bigger than we thought it would be.

    Ok, I get the Kremzeek comment, but I don't see how anybody would associate that with Golfire Grimlock (yeah, the name Golfire is involved, but that is it.

    So its a deluxe sized Bumblebee, smaller than the original, that comes with some big hydrodive related accessory that bumps it up to Voyager scale.

    Arcee: WOOO!!! I will have an army! I hope she is as articulated as BA.

    Electrostatic Soundwave: He could come with a ratbat drum?

    Golfire Grimlock: Something tells me this will be even one G1 And have gold and sliver chromed parts. Thus the name Gold-Fire.

    Voyager BumbleBee: I won`t but it but a better more articulate mold would be nice.

    ok...if its seriously the hydrodive sub thing that bumps it up to voyager one of two things comes to mind.

    1. we all live in a yellow submarine (come on, the sub has to be yellow to match bumblebee)

    2. waste of money to make an accessory possibly bigger then the main figure

    Ehh, Golfire is a typo. It's most likely "Coldfire" Grimlock. Hmm, Animated Grimmy in G2 colors?

    It is probably a safe bet to say that ratbat will be soundwaves new minion, derrick himself has said that he is glad to have worked in 3 of these 4 figs swindle, ratbat, galvatron and (cant remember the other but we have already had that one)
    So unless they are working galvatron into the animated show (probably not) it will be ratbat and this would be the perfect option to make him into a toy, otherwise how els are they going to release a very small fig like ratbat
    also derrick is not a fan of the comics so it wont be the accountant fuel conserv wanna be leader ratbat, instead i guess it will be a new personality.

    You're probably right, that's the best guess I've heard yet.

    Bumblebee will be the deluxe figure but with an accessories pack, if I recall correctly.

    I can't wait for Arcee! :thumbs2: 

    Though cartoon-ish, here's hoping that she will fare better than BT-21.
