    Only bought if it has blood red eyes.

    But I'll probably buy it. I like that mold.

    Well yeah, if this deco is in the show then its cannon,
    Otherwise its pointless from a collectors point of view,
    Why not put green on him and then call him snake buster bee

    Oh God... Where's WhiteMocha???

    I want to see Bumblebee as Pinkie Pie! :lol 

    Seriously, though, I'd love to see Venksta make a new head and give us Jackpot. :D

    The funny thing is, if such a thing WERE made, it would probably sell more than all versions of DOTM and RID bee combined. :lol 

    With that being said, I have yet to own the RID Bee mold since i'm holding out for Hot Shot, but i'm a sucker for Stealth BB looking repaints, so I'll likely own this one too.

    Where do Hasbro get their information on who is buying what? They say they get their sales from kids. But how do they know that? You dont sign a form that says "derp im a kid" or "im a collecturrr" or anything. Not arguing against it but I think I'm missing something here. :p 

    And if the reason they keep doing this is because they think kids just want more Bumblebees, why not just put out more of the same exact figure instead of a random repaint? I don't think I've every heard anyone say "Golly, I sure love that Bumblebee figure. But I think I'll wait for the grey repaint with random foreign writing and lightning bolts on it instead."

    Ugh, this better not be the new trend. I mean, they already made a trend out of it with the movie lines. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course it'll be their new trend. I swear that Bumblebee and Prime don't sell anywhere near as Hasbro think they actually do. Maybe they do but we all know who shelf-warms the most, so...

    And that Wheeljack repaint. Am I the only one who feels sick after seeing it? I thought Dead End was red and black. Not vomit.

    My son want a blue car autobot so, if the Hot Shot wave drops anytime soon I'll get that for his birthday. Only way a Bee mold derivative is sneaking it's way into this house.

    Seriously, I love the Prime line - cool cross between movie-verse and classics IMHO - but I am not getting another Bee just because. For me to do that the mold would have to have been EPIC, which is about a trillion miles from what we did get.

    I'm passing on this Bee. I already have the original Bee and I plan on getting Hot Shot, that's enough of that mold, sorry Hasbro!

    ^^^^^^^^^^^

    That. Except for owning RID Bumblebee.

    Actually, I was thinking about trying my hand at modding and I wanted to make a Vehicon into Barricade... and someone's sig has a FE Bumblebee modded into Barricade.
