Our UK colleagues over at Transformers @ The Moon have posted some awesome image galleries of some rare pieces that you don’t get a chance to see everyday – Lucky Draw Transformers Animated toys! The second and third Animated Lucky Draws, Bumblebee Silver Version and Megatron Gold Version, are on display in all their limited run glory.

I was very close to saying "what a wast of a gold Megatron" because I thought it was the Voyager, but I see that it's the Deluxe.

Nice acquisitions guys!

I thought that was just gold paint?

Simple really, the regular Japanese bumblebee uses gold chrome already, and so was deemed to be too similar

Pretty cool but…Why didn't they make Bumblebee the gold one, and Megatron the silver one? That would've made a lot more sense…

Over the last 5 days I have had two parcels arrive from Japan the first contained Silver Transformers Animated Bumblebee and the 2nd that arrived today was the Gold Animated Megatron.
The gold Megatron is one of the 1104 versions that were made (with 1000 that will be given out to the campaign winners later this month.
Bumblebee is one of the 40 that were given away as part of the Bic Camera and Edeon Group stores competition and was complete with the winning letter. Unlike the Prime and Megatron, Bumblebee comes packaged within a small box inside the main prize campaign box that TakaraTomy were using for the Animated figures. Its actually a really nice touch on their part as it keeps the three boxes uniform rather than just re-using the packaging as with many of the previous campaign figures.
