Meh. I don't personally like the Cannon bumblebee mold. Its torso is too blocky for movie bumblebee. And they got totally lazy with the torso. They should have been able to give the torso pose able kibble >_>

 

Well now, that Soundblaster is AWESOME. I may leave the little plastic band across his chest like that, it looks awesome, gives him a more evil feel.

As for the red on his panels..? If you fold them up right in his Cybertronian Fighter mode, you can get him to look vaguely like a Reentry mode a Protoform uses, so maybe the red detailing there is supposed to be him heating up in the atmosphere? (Considering, he would have to come to Earth to fight BB..)

As for Bumblebee? The red on his guns looks very out of place, and what is up with him NOT having that NEST logo on his doors like he was already shown to have?

The lack of an accurate chest disappoints me, so maybe this one will be used as parts if I ever need to replace something.

 

uhhh... I would have prefered a Black and Purple, like the original Soundblaster, not... blue and red 

 

This version of Bumblebee never did have N.E.S.T. logos on his doors. You're thinking of this version:

Bumblebee (NEST) - ROTF Main Line - Transformers Resources
(same one that's in my signature. which I need to edit)

Which was the Bumblebee that Tformers said would be in the 2-pack, but it appears that this repaint/retool of the Cannon Bumblebee mold, is the actual Bumblebee in the 2-pack.

 

So now they have Soundwave as part of NEST? Why?

 

Nice.... I like Soundwave in those colors (and since it's not true black I suddenly feel better about coughing up the dough for the Chara Hobby version). And I had previously passed on the Cannon BB too, so I'll gladly pick up this set.

Funny, Soundwave almost feels like an inadvertant homage to Delata Seeker.... though not quite as green-tinged.

 

I have to get this set, unless Soundwave comes out on his own at some point. If that ever happens at around the smae time as the set I will get him on his own. To be honest I actually thought he would be coming with the NEST Bumblebee that will be a repaint of the preview figure which I also plan on getting. I will also call this Soundwave "Soundblaster" wether he's black or not. Will probably use the battle mask on my preview Bumblebee instead.

He isn part of NEST. Its more like NEST battles and rivalries, with certain Autobots against certain Decepticons, e.g. Armorhide and Dirge, Bludgeon and Recon Ironhide.

 

He isn't affiliated with N.E.S.T., the figure itself is in a 2-pack called "N.E.S.T. Battles" (or something like that), and it's a part of the sub-line to RotF called N.E.S.T. Global Alliance. Kinda like the Allspark Power line from the first movie's toy line, but without the line-wide paint color.

 

Not feeling these two or the other Bee repaint. I'll stick with Preview Soundwave and Premium Bee.

 

That repaint makes the Soundwave mold look much cooler, but I'm not sure if I'll pick it up.

 

I really like the Soundwave repaint. I may pick up this set, even though I already have way too many movie style Bumblebees.

 

I'm liking those soundwave colors.

 

I'm digging the Soundwave repaint. Don't really want the BB though.
Maybe I'll give BB to my little brother.

I've been going back and forth on picking up Soundwave from the ROTF line, now I'm sold. I'm getting this one.

 

I hate to pass on toys but I could not take that toys r us soundwave set at its weak value when this is going to come out in the next 3-4 months.

Great Soundwave from the Nest line.The problem I had with the first version is its just to grey to fit in on a shelf of rotf decepticons, had to put it somewhere else so heavily shaded plastic is appreciated for this release.

I'll probably have to buy the bumblebee as well at retail. Though with the cloudy and clear varients of cannon bumblebee this is the third version to get for that mold to the completist.

 

soundwave looks ok looks like there trying to go with aemrican flag loko with soundwave though instead white they replace the white with grey he looks weird with red & his eyes look red or blue cant tell theough.

soundwave priceless bot mode pictures he still has the rubberband around his chest almost funny

bumblebee hes another one that looks little off red eyes red tips on his cannons it looks weird i guess hasbro finally gave up on allspark blue & decide to go with red either that or thee experimaneting which colors fans like more

 

yes more repaints lol. i do like this soundwave better then the first one but the toys r us is cooler i think. dont know what to think about bumblebee.

 

Wasn't there another "NEST Bumblebee" that we saw earlier that had NEST logos on it? I think it was a redeco of regular BB rather than cannon BB.

 

Wow, a new Bumblebee repaint! And he's yellow! Holy crap, that's awesome!

 

 

That's probably the best looking ROTF Soundwave out of the three, but he's not that cool of a mold to have numerous versions. And Bee is Bee. Same old.

 

I like the new Soundwave. Although, he looks more dark blue than black to me. Smokescreen colors on Soundwave = awesome!
