What I'm assuming to be "Cannon Blast" Bumblebee (makes sense to me) actually looks pretty cool, and will probably find his way into my collection. Not sure what I'll do with my Premium BB now. I may just end up having two Deluxe BB's in my collection. This one's head doesn't bother me as much as the Preview figure's does, though if the battle-mode head from Premium BB can fit, and looks better on it, I'll swap the heads. I'll either display PBB in alt-mode, or kitbash him into Cliffjumper, or somebody else (Wheeljack comes to mind). Though he also might make a good Sunstreaker. That definitely looks like an Activators Ironhide figure (though still a prototype). Here's hoping that the Deluxe Ratchet is still his Cybertronian form, and that they do keep with their plans to release an Ironhide repaint/retool of it. Might get this version anyways. Been thinking about coming up with a new character with a Turtle theme, and this would be perfect for it's Cybertronian-mode.
I'd be in agreement if we hadn't already seen solicitations for Ratchet along with "Freeway Jazz". Kickback also confirmed that it was indeed going to be a Cybertron mode version of Ratchet with the intention of eventually retooling him into Ironhide, but he's not sure if they will still release him as Ironhide at this point.

Quickie comment... just did some quick research colorwise. That's not Ironhide, that's Ratchet. Odds are it's the Cybertronian mode Ratchet we were told about.
Bumblebee's toy now has side mounted mini-gattling guns and still has a firepower rating of... 3. Those gatts are shooting nerf-balls.
Bumblebee is great looking! Too bad about the fingers not painted but at least the picture is truthful. Animated activators: "GAH! I have fallen on my back and cannot get back up!"
Bumblebee looks pretty bad, like a FAB bred with a deluxe or something. Cybertron mode Ratchet/Ironhide...I'll wait for it to be released as Ironhide, but definitely wanting any new mainline molds Animated throws at us.
