Here’s a bit of an oddity for the Cyberverse Legion Stealth Bumblebee – a minor packaging variant. Evidently some Stealth Bumblebees out there are straight up named Bumblebee on the packaging, while others use the correct “Stealth Bumblebee”. It’s not just a case of a wrong insert – the back of the card is also printed up with the regular Bumblebee name. They are apparently out there in equal numbers, so this might be a running change in the packaging style, since evidently Bolt Bumblebee was also marketed as plain old Bumblebee.

They can just issue & repaint all the BB that they want but we can just take our time to choose which BB we like, not as if every BB we must buy,that will be burning a deep hold in our pocket,LOL

clearly they printed more bb packages than even they wanted so they using them everywhere
i wonder how many will end up on ebay as "exclusive" or "super-mega rare" lol!

I saw this when they first started circulating in my area. I did several double takes because I thought it was two different figures

This is Hasbro, We are sorry that you feel that way, cause you will be getting a Bumblebee in every wave of everything.

ATTENTION HASBRO: Quit butt-raping us with these various Bumblebee Toys!!!! Alright, we get it, Bumblebee is your main bread winner but enough is enough!! Instead of wasting all this plastic for Bee. Why don't you take the plastic and give us a Mirage/Dino Deluxe & a Human Alliance Version of Mirage/Dino as well!!!!
THAT IS ALL!!

Did they? Was there definitely a Bolt Bumblebee that actually was labeled "Bolt Bumblebee" on the package instead of just "Bumblebee"? Have you seen it?

Yes, the word "Stealth" is illegal now.
This toy has no Takara counterpart, at least not as a mass retail release.
However, the European market Hasbro version is also "Stealth Bumblebee".

they did the same thing with the earlier bolt BB cyberverse

1st i didnt see it! but when i saw the pics again i saw one with no stealth on it!
at my target they still have the "stealth bumblebee" on it that was last week! who knows maybe Hasbro got in trouble with the word stealth on it!
what abut takara??????

on a similiar note, a few weeks ago I went to Walmart and was about to buy a cyberverse powerglide, and they luckily had 1 left, however when I looked closer, the face on that particular powerglide was not painted lol, maybe thats another variant, the regular version vs the lazy hasbro version.

The official pics show him as just plain Bumblebee, and given Bolt Bumblebee, it sounds like Stealth might be the changed one. Or yeah, maybe it's proven more profitable to sell them all as Bumblebee.

LOL- it sounds like they are just giving up and calling them just "Bumblebee" now.
And on a side note- MY FIRST NEWS CREDIT! Yes…

I've only seen the one with "Stealth Bumblebee" on, but it's nice to see a variant being circulated.

Maybe they have officially run out of Bumblebee adjectives?

Hi all- not sure if this is news, but I found Stealth Bumblebee from the new wave of Cyberverse Legion figures at a Target the other day, and noticed a variation at the same store. One version of the packaging is labeled "Stealth Bumblebee" on both sides of the card, and the other version is just "Bumblebee". The same exact decos of the toys are inside, and everything else about the packaging is the same. Both versions are numbered "Series 1 – 015" on the back of the card. See the photos below.
I don't know if anyone really cares too much about this, but for insane completionists (like myself!), I'm glad I noticed. Has anyone else seen this? Is one more rare than the other? The Target where I bought them seemed to have about an equal amount of both versions.
Also makes me wonder- were any of the "Bolt" Bumblebee Legion Class figures (Series 1 – 011) labeled "Bolt Bumblebee" instead of just "Bumblebee", like I saw?
