    Is it just me or does Prowl have a remolded chest? It doens't look to be the same as Smokescreen's somehow.

    There was so much potential for the last Deluxe of Beast Hunters. Air Vehicon, Spiky armor Vehicon, a better Airachnid, or a new Breakdown. But instead, we get another Bumblebee.

    No they didn't. The Dreadwings are completely different, they've never upsized a Legends and that still would not be of comparable expense to a repaint, even if they could.

    prime rid deluxe shadow strike bumblebee is actually show accurated(this is for the one who said he wanted an accurate bee)
    but still, want to see how that new bee looks in person
    and for prowl, yeah it looks like a smokescreen repaint, and an awesome one
    XD
    but yeah, that image is tiny as hell

    Its passingly accurate, both being black and yellow, but Shadow Strike isn't actually screen-accurate beyond using the same two colors in the deco.

    I'm sorry but THIS IS BULLSHIT...

    Finally..they redeco Bumblebee in the show, where he actually looks KICK ASS. Black with the yellow stripes..awesome.

    I have not wanted to own a Bumblebee this bad since I seen battle blade Bumblebee review.

    Now they don't even make the kick ass one from the show.

    Ok...hasbro..if your reading this, repaint the FE mold to look JUST LIKE the black bee in the show...and charge me $40 for it..I don't care.

    Finally Bumblebee looks killer in the show....then....they won't make THAT bee?!?!

    Are you shitting me? A perfect opportunity for hasbro to make a Bumblebee and they won't make it?!?!?!

    Irony...

    Though after the discussion in project predacon between bumblebee and smokescreen. I Kind of can see the Beast Hunters easgleshot bow bumblebee as a upgrade for his overdue coronation into warrior class.

    So much more respect for Bumblebee after that.

    I like the remold a lot better than the previous deluxes in engineering and silhouette.

    Can't say I'm that surprised about the prowl. I just hope they retool the head with crests and stuff. I'd like some stasis cuffs if their not going to use the armor.
    Even if I don't really care about the armor. It feels wrong that prowl gets less for the same pricepoint.

    With only eight episodes left to air. I doubt he will be in the show, but the precedent for model reuse would be available.

    We got a white repaint of Smokescreen the white Autobot instead of his new colors?

    Maaaaaaan I'm sad.

    Good thing I didn't get the first BH Bee. Wonder if he still has the creepy follow you wherever you go eyes. I'll still get him regardless although that would be icing on the cake.

    Definitely getting Prowl. I hope he has a visor like his TFU design.
    Bumblebee is a possibility... but damn, I reeeeeally wish he didn't have that stupid armor which isn't in the show at all.

    But honestly, when is Hasbro ever going to go ONE line without Bumblebee having at least ONE repaint? He had a repaint AND a retool in PRID.

    This is not ninja motorcycle Prowl, it's based on other versions which are dickish police cars.

    You got to blame bee's "Popular Silent,Heroic Try-hard" guy. or the fact hasbro uses him as their "unofficial mascot" of the series. because i know they are pretty much doing that.

    It's kinda odd really. i guess they could put the blue colors in a multipack or something... if they ever do that. though hasbro isn't known for mixing and matching premade toolings around. i wonder how they settle those toolings.


    Well,considering that bee will use transparent blue instead of orange,it would be more like creepy "stay away..." eyes rather then creepy "im going to burn you in your sleep" eyes. but i doubt bee is the arsonist type

    Barely any of the toys are actually bad when you have them. The Predacons are brilliant.

    Got excited about the Stealth Bumblebee until I realized it has the Beast Hunters armor. Would really like a show accurate Bumblebee but I guess we won't be getting one anytime soon. I mean what is the point with them having the Beast Hunters armor when they are not even wearing it in the show. Unless they are going to have it later on but I doubt that. Surprised that wave 3 hasn't been found at retail yet in the US or has it already.

    Ehhh I might have settled for Black Bee but too late, I got the gray RiD redeco and he's just fine. Prowl's a maybe if he has some nice remolding, I passed on the Cyberverse version and I am a big Prowl fan. That said I really don't love how the BH Deluxe Smokescreen mold turned out either so...not that exciting.

    Beast Hunters as a line has good Voyagers, great Cyberverse, not much to offer in the Deluxe range IMHO.
