ACToys member B-O-T has posted a pair of new images of Dark of the Moon’s Leader Class Bumblebee. These new images show how Bumblebee in car mode is pretty small alongside a Voyager Class toy, and they also show the gigantic MechTech accessory on his roof that features a gigantic flip out bazooka. Check out the images by clicking on the link above.

Mechtech is barf. The bot mode looks amazing though.

nope I like him too and im getting him as soon as he is in stores or the day the movie comes out if it's out by then.

Should have checked this days ago, before the thread dried up, BUT- for those upset about the size of this BB, Cyber ops BB is also slightly smaller than leader prime and leader starscream in vehicle modes, and as we all know that bot is considerably larger than they are in bot mode.
I still like the idea of BB being a smaller leader toy, but this very well mean he won't be.

Ok…im gunna go ahead and make this call too.
The mechtech weapons will combine in a similar fashion as Powered up prime. Look at the different mounting peg holes, and looks at the other ones weve seen, I just went back. There are some that look like they line right up in spots that make sense.
AND, its great marketing to include this puzzle pieces that make something…Hell…if you NEEDED a certain part..you might actaully BUY that deluxe mudflap or tuner skids…
Im gunna say, Bumblebee gets a climactic part in the movie, where he gets "geared up"…Hence the reason to make a leader class BB. His Big starring part in the movie does NOT work with other toys made, so its a complete retool, and the mechtek weapons combine all over him….Look at the ones that come with Starscream…Arms….Look at the nascar one….Aha??!!? yea….you see what im seein..
Remember..I called it

Yes, but it probably won't be obvious. I'd imagine it would be like Megatron's, where it is filled in by something that sits on a spring.

I think the other toys mech-tech guns will plug into Bumblebee harness as part of the whole concept of interchangable weapons

This means Bee in car mode will have a hole on the roof to accomodate that weapon thingy.

But you probably paid more to get a much smaller Alternity? You or someone else having similar complaints.
BlueAngel_Bolt
Will be getting. Battle Ops Bee was a great figure, and since this one appears to be a remold/retool/almost brand new figure with more articulation, im REALLY looking forward to it!

The only thing I'm fearing for the line, in general, is that these large weapons will result in a downgrade in the sculpt or paint detailing on the figures themselves.

I agree, these toys will sell to kids like hot cakes, and that means in the year after, we'll get another classics line that every G1 fan with ruin their pants over.

Because I would buy this bumblebee for 45 Dollars if it was a big leader class with many features like ROTF Prime. These guns have used up nearly 25% of the toy's plastic. This bumblebee will not be too much bigger than the old voyager size and those guns are just going to be left lying around in the box once I get it. I am not paying 45 to get some guns and a small figure. Pass.

^ Don't trivialize this, Toxicon! THE HUMAN RACE IS ABOUT TO END.
Toxicon
They're guns, guys. GUNS.
How are you letting optional weapons ruin the actual toys for yourselves? This fanbase is absolutely ******ed.
reave
Are you f#*king kidding me? This is what movie line has progressed to? Ugh.
ShadowMagnus
I kinda like the idea of these mechtech weapons combining into a robot. Reminds me of the DC universe classics figures where they have these pieces that when you collect all the figures of the wave you can build another character. If this is the case then it would be cool!
Magnimus
I never thought that robotic tumors would ever count as accessories.
general saberwi
wtf hasbro! can't you just forget about this stupid gimmick and make the toys themselves cool?
thawwechamp

Give me a Leader Ironhide, PLEASE. Leader Ratchet Even. Leader Shock Wave.

einis
