Voyager Bumblebee? Weird. Will definatly get Arcee though.

 

"Hydrodive Submarine comes with transforming Bumblebee accessory!"

I really hope they take this opportunity to fix some of Grimlock's problems. Like how his weapon doesn't REALLY fit into his mouth. Or how his arms don't retract into his shoulderpads without Excessive Force. If they solve some of that then I will be sure to pick it up.

 

I'm willing to bet that the Shockwave listed is the name for the G1 purple repaint that pictures have been floating around. The Bumblebee sounds weird.

Hmpphh.

 

My Grimlock's arms were a little stiff at first, but I don't have any problems with them now.

 

Animated Bumble Bee in voyager class? Hasbro is insane.

 

Interesting stuff. I wonder if Bumblebee is genuinely smaller and comes with an Apex armour submarine.

Either way, hoping the Submarine is a homage to the one Rattrap piloted in Beast Wars "Changing of the Guard" so I can put Rattrap in it  

 

It's Soundwave, not Shockwave. In their last Q&A Hasbro mentioned a new Soundwave repaint with a new minion, so this has to be it.

I am like 90% sure the minion is Ratbat.

 

Lets see here:

-Arcee- Old news, we've known about this one for a while, just haven't seen it yet. I might be interested in it.
-Electrostatic Soundwave- Sounds interesting. This'll bee the one with a new minion. Hopefully the paintjob on SW himself is different enough to justify buying him a second time.
-Hydrodive Bumblebee- Sounds interesting. This'll be the new mold smaller BB figure. Probably won't get him. Sounds like he comes with a personal submarine or something.
-Golfire Grimlock- Sounds interesting, and since it's Grimlock, I'll more than likely get him. Though it almost sounds as though it should be Goldfire Grimlock, as Golfire really makes no sense (atm anyways). Would be cool for it to be a black repaint of him with flame details on him. Though a G2 blue repaint would be perfectly acceptable too. This is the one on this list that is most likely to join my collection. More Grimlock is a good thing.

 

Oh man, this would be awesome.

 

Arcee is just so bought. The rest I think I can pass. A bit miffed that there's only one brand new character here though (what with S3 round the corner).

 

Electrostatic Soundwave? Maybe it's a black-repaint to make him look like Soundblaster or something. I'm hoping that the minion in either Ratbat or Buzzsaw. Buzzsaw needs some love.

 

A voyager BB should be interesting, but I'm more excited about another Grimlock! I figured they'd repaint him eventually. Can't wait to see his new deco.

 

Wait, these guys are Wave 3? Who's in Wave 1 and 2?

I figured Waspy, Samurai Prowl, and Wreck-Gar were all Wave 1, but are they 2?

 

Yeah to doing Arcee!

And the voyager names almost sound like gimmick figures...so we're getting a bath toy/underwater BB and a putting practice/ball returning Grimlock?  

 

Blurr, Swindle and Blazing Lockdown are wave 1 deluxe 09.
Shockwave and Skywarp are wave 1 voyager 09.

 

A Voyager BB? Sounds interesting... and promising!

 

Interesting...

Arcee: Old news. We've seen listings in store computers and we've heard Hasbro talk about her being in production at Botcon as well... now we're just getting close to having an actual date on her release finally.

Electrostatic Soundwave: We've known about his listing as long as we've known about Arcee... so nothing new here either as it's also been said by Hasbro for a bit now that he will have a new minion (they've been dropping hints like that for awhile now).

Hydrodive Bumblebee: I'm almost 100% certain that this will be the 'smaller' Bumblebee that comes with the 'large extra'. Depending on what the additional item does I may just pick this up and replace my current BB... especially if BB ends up being actually smaller than the current one.

Goldfire Grimlock (yeah, seriously, Goldfire...): It's probably just a red and gold flame deco-ed Grimlock. I don't expect anything major out of this... but have fun for those of you that just love 'thematic repaints'.

 

Voyator Bumblebee? Golfire Grimlock? Electrostatic Soundwave? What that F..k.

 

Anyone want to takes bets on where pics of these will show up first?

Online stores?
The Chinese sellers?
TFCC?
