    The new headsculpt is sweet. Eventhough it's a little blurry, it looks a lot more movie accurate. I'm still thinking I'll be spending my toy collecting dollars elsewhere this time around. If it had been a whole new mold, or if Bee had gotten a new alt mode, I might have been willing to fork over a few bucks for him. Besides, I've got my original one all Reprolabled up!

    Why is the head so huge?

    I guess I'll get it, the new weapon looks cool, as does the car grill. The head really upsets me.

    It's different enough for me to get it JUST to say I have TF2 BB. I still think 70's BB is the best movie Bumblebee mould.

    I will be picking this up. The new head sculpt is great. I like the gray plastic a lot too. CC BB was pretty accurate to begin with, so I'm not surprised Hasbro just retooled the mold.

    since i only have the allspark BB and Premium BB, ill get it depending on plastic quality. i cant STAND how the plastic is in Premium and the blue on the other one drives me nuts, so this may be a must get for me.

    though just lookin at him though, does he have the thigh kibble?

    I believe that with the new fender on the new Bee, there's a new intake scoop on the hood of the alt mode as well.

    I think it might be a new Z28...? Is that what the old ones were called?

    This is a certain buy for me. I bought Classic Camaro Bumblebee as my first movie toy, and while I do like him a lot, his nondescript vanilla weapons and giant clown feet did leave me wanting something a bit more film-accurate to replace him. I've been umming and ahhing between Concept Camaro, Premium and Screen Battles for a while, but this one has them beat, if only for the excellent headsculpt, so I guess I'll just wait for this.

    Well...

    This has the same detailing/colors as the premium, with a new bumper, head, and gun.

    And I like the head.

    Want.

    repaints/remoulds, that merely suggests cost cutting measures (which is just the way things are) and is mildly disappointing but hopefully that means that its allowed a shift of focus onto the new characters.

    Looking pretty good. It's nice that Hasbro aren't just putting out the old figure in a new box, and it allows the fans (and kids) who didn't get the original to get a newer, possibly improved version of it.

    Not bad, but I'm happy enough with the one I have. It's nice to see them at least remold the head, front bumper, and give him a new weapon. Only returning characters I plan on getting figures for are Optimus and Megs.

    Nice retool of the head, but not enough to make me buy another CC BB. *waiting to see the rest of the line*

    I'm surprised it's not a brand new mold but I'm still getting it. I like the new head.

    I hated the grey plastic in the first place, and he doesn't even have his awesome weapon!

    Very disappointing, just new head, bumper and gun. Nothing special. Damn You Hasbro.

    I'd possibly grab it during a sale, but won't rush to stores to grab it as soon as it's out by any means

    I'm glad it's a slight remold and an easy pass - less money I have to spend that way. I hope they so the same with all the old characters and put some real effort into the new ones.
