I really like the way it looks, I DEMAND TO KNOW WHERE ITS FROM!

 

Well, it looks all fine and good I suppose. If I had to guess, I'd guess that's a Classics Glyph figure. Maybe they're going to make that a BotCon attendee exclusive; G2 Glyph. The chrome is the added 'glare' right? Heh - highly unlikely. Anyways, I had mine repainted blue first - and I think mine's better. Tho if this is released it's a definite buy for ma duke's Bumblebee & BB recolor collection.

This is pretty bad ass and a very ver yawsome shade of blue!
deff would buy this .... if it gets released  

 

Henkei maybe. Unless Takara does it first then Hasbro (like with Thrust, maybe Dirge and Thundercracker and Red Alert at some point)

 

I gotta say this is pretty awesome and I'm 95% sure it's blue plastic not paint like it would be for a custom. Sadly it's most likely a Japanese release due to the chrome. I'd buy that mold in any color, from Hasbro for $12

 

It can't be a custom. The plastic looks like it was molded in that color. A dye job is possible, but it looks too clean and factory-like overall. It looks like it'll either be a Gentei exclusive or a Generations release.

 

Wow, I'm loving that blue that was used!

 

Does TT have the equivalent of the Generations line, or is Gentei still going on? With convention season coming up, couldn't it be a show exclusive the way Wonderfest Arcee/Prime/Wildrider were?

 

Want.

 

This could be a Botcon exclusive, even if the Autobot symbol is not G2. The way the Botcon exclusive Timelines works, a Autobot team could of easily be part of the set of. I remember wondering how lasts years set was going to incorporate Scorch into the story..But it worked out quite well.

 

While I won't say "no, it couldn't," I find this reasoning to be a stretch.

 

Last year's Razorclaw and Elita-1 had nothing to do with Wings of Honor. This could be part of a similar set.

 

I noticed the chrome rub on the back of the spoiler. It's either an early mock up of some Henkei release, or it's an upcoming KO. May have to violate my KO standards...

 

Something about the pictures makes it feel smaller then the normal classics BB mold.

 

I'm hyped!  

Henkei/Universe lines have been pretty quiet this long. To the extent that even a Repaint would get me excited these days.  

 

I like it. I hope it's not Gentei though.

 

Good point. Maybe it's a KO custom made by someone who reversed engineered the mold, but... bleh, I have no clue anymore. D:

And for those who think it's not Hasbro's because of the chrome keep this in mind: They said that they're working on some VacMet tech to make it cheaper without making the plastic brittle and they showed it with Recon Ravage and maybe Generations Thrust.

 

A lot of people say that. But that was (I'm convinced) a special deal due to the anniversary. No anniversary this year = no "not aligned with this year's theme" toys.

Again, I won't say it's impossible, but that line of reasoning seems to be a stretch to me.

 

How odd.

Silver chrome points on the front and spoiler(?) points to Henkei-not-Hasbro.

Clean lines points to produced-not-custom.

The bumblebee mold and not being a G2 character leans towards not-Botcon.

Has Japan every produced a non-true-G1 character? If it's Henkei/Gentei it's more likely to be Blue Bumblebee then Glyph but would they bother when they haven't even released Cliffjumper?
