    Awesome! Looks like some type of jet thing connects to legends Prime. Silverbolt?

    The Prime actually looks to be the exact same design of the ROTF Legend, but in a new mold with accessories.(guns/jetpack)

    From what I see here, it almost looks like "Cyberverse" is basically going to be Legends calss, only expanded upon as it's own little sub line with it's own little gimmicks; like Bee's army base thing.

    It reminds me more of the 'Jetfire parts' attachment from TT's cancelled 'Unite for the Universe' Voyager Prime with power-up armour.

    Is that what they meant when they said BB would be more heroic? BB lift so much weights he can't bring his arms down...

    Hasbro didn't 'give' those to us. They made something we liked, and we gave them our money. Hasbro certainly don't do classics, generations etc, as an act of charity.

    They do it because there is a market for them. Maybe it's not as big as the market for movie toys, but it's a market that Hasbro continue to invest in, and I'm sure it's not out of the kindness of their hearts.

    The buggy-with-driver one looks good; great bot mode, nice sculpt & detailing evident even in that small pic, decent articulation; top marks. The rest, not so impressive looking imo. Still, looking forward to seeing how the voyager & leader classes turn out, besides the excellent Ironhide toy we've already had previewed.

    Prime is the one who will look heroic, Bee will only look more mature

    I like the new deluxe bumblebee. While I LOVE Battle Blade Bee, he does look too skinny. This new deluxe looks bulked up a bit, and it gets rid of the gimmick wads on his arms so his arms look better.

    ... Hell, I like pretty much everything here.

    It might be a similar transformation, but the figure is 100% new. It may well be the same size as legends class, but it looks to be that much more sophisticated that I wouldn't be surprised if it's a larger size class.

    Images removed at the request of Hasbro.

    Looking at it again, I think it's a different transformation. And I reckon the windshield on the chest might be a dupe.

    Yeah, that's basically what I said. Same design,(Engineering wise.) new mold.

    I wouldn't be either, if it weren't for the fact that it's shown to be in the same Cyberverse line as the BB. And that's clearly Legends class Bee.

    That's if we assume 'Cyberverse' is their new word for 'Legends'. The Cyberverse line could be more broad than that.

    If Cyberverse = Legends, that means they're going to charge near double the price for that little jet piece on the back. Cyberverse Plus Optimus looks significantly different from existing legends figures that I'm not going to jump to any conclusions just yet.

    Sorry, but that's a pretty useless post. Toys have always been more expensive in Europe than they are in the US and Canada (and even then it varies between countries). If you're getting a price increase as well, you're not suddenly paying 27 dollars for a deluxe, it's probably like a 2 dollar increase on your current price.


    Unrelated: Big LOL at the amount of fail in this thread by people who simply can't grasp the idea of Bumblebee toys selling like hot cakes. Sorry guys, that's just how it is. As much as I'd like to see as much variety as possible, even a Cliffjumper here and there, Bumblebee is what's selling.

    The fact that they are continuing the human alliance gimmick is fantastic! Having scale figures to interact with the robots really harkens back to diaclone for me. The human actually looks pretty good and will fit in great with the 1/24 scale GIJoes I have. And having a new robot size class in the mix is exciting, though i wonder if this will be sold at a different pricepoint, tough to pay $30 for this.... Can't wait to see more!

    Oh man! I know that Leader Bumblebee is mistransformed but jeez...as soon as I laid eyes on Bee's body proportions I had crazy LCD/seizure induced flashbacks to the "Fattimus Prime" days. ughhh (gets up on soapbox and preaches to nobody) I know that Hasbro is well known for having mistransformed photos but jeez, aren't these things supposed to be promotional images for this new multimillion dollar toyline based on a "huge" blockbuster? If they are, then why does Leader Bumblebee (the big daddy expensive toy) look so "meh". I mean look at his leg slouching stance, his "I don't know if thats a second arm or another hand cannon" hand, or the fact that his windows are extended fully (okay thats probably me complaining to much). All in all, the packaging is nice with green and black with the moon though its probably not the final design with "Transformer 3" on it instead of "DOTM" subtitle, sadly there are no figures in this preview pic that I like, maybe when I see Leader Megatron or a hopeful Leader Shockwave picture.

    I think that "Leader" Bumblebee is actually a Voyager.
