2005 Boards member D-Drive has also sent us an image from the latest edition of Previews. While small the image confirms two new toys for Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 5, Prowl, who is a redeco of Deluxe Smokescreen without the additional armor and Stealth Bumblebee, a redeco of the Beast Hunters version of Deluxe Class Bumblebee patterned after his design in the show. Check out the image attached to this story.

Prowl is sold.
Fallout
holy shit, are we getting 8 different figures in this wave?
neevnav
That is definitely the cyberverse Prowl.
Noideaforaname
Isn't that the Cyberverse?
And Skystalker is called "Storm Razor". Huh.

c/o BBTS – Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe Series 05 – Case of 8 – Transformers Prime Beast Hunters Deluxe
Prowl looks good.
Shin Densetsu
Skystalker and Ratchet in this wave are just carry overs, the image Diamond got is just over-saturated.
Feralstorm
I'm betting Ratchet and Skystalker are not changed in any way, and any visual differences in the pic are just artifacts of the image.
What he (will have) said.

Just looking at that tiny pic, Prowl looks awesome so far. I want him and also want that new Smokescreen scheme to be released in a deluxe size too. BB is probably a pass.

Prowl looks fine indeed…might be my first acquisition from this line.

I don't mind Bee's new colors, he has them in the show but I would rather have had a remold of his chest so it be smaller and more show accurate. Don't know why Hasbro didn't do it when they did the beast Hunter figure, it would have pleased the fans and smaller chest would mean lesser plastic, so they would have saved on production costs. And why not make the Beast Hunter arcee commander class? Same thing there, more show accurate and cheaper production costs.
Feralstorm
Might have preferred a non-spiky BB in black, but I may get that one regardless. BH BB has his own strange badass quality, which a mostly-black recolor would only enhance.
Dinobot Nuva
Yeah, if anything that Skystalker is probably just a shade off because this is a picture of a picture. Entertainment Earth and other websites that post up stuff by the case like Previews always picture the older figures present in the case.
Methos
Great another BB.
You'd think Hasbro would eventually notice how he's quickly reduced in price at most online and retail stores.

and the 3rd movie toys are still in stores as of now as is!!!!!!!!

OH LOOK! YET ANOTHER BUMBLEBEE THAT I WILL NOT BE BUYING!
Its like hasbro is trying to piss us all off with this stuff im watching tfp and do not see all these horrible armored characters nor do i see these repaints that hasbro said they were not going to make due to the fact of them only focusing on the characters in the show
that bumblebee could have easily been a deluxe breakdown but who am I to say what I want.

Cool, official photos of wave 5 toys that will be canceled for movie 4 toys.
Renidragon
Yeah… image is too small to form any sort of judgement. I like the Smokescreen mold, fiddly as it is (context: I also like the RiD Car Brothers, and only Sideburn is fiddly and anyone who has trouble with X-Brawn and Prowl… umm… I don't see how they're hard), but… I need to see a better picture than this to be on board for a redeco. The Prime line has gone stale for me… though the dragons are still pretty awesome. I'll keep getting those as I see em.

I personally don't think they will re-color the ratchet because that will go over the original 16 figure limit for BH deluxes. For skystalker they must be either re-re-releasing him with these (slightly altered colors) as a variant, or (my opinion) the lighting in the picture or something is just messing with the colors to make them look that way.
I think the reason that Ratchet and Skystalker are present is because they are the other to figures that are in the case
Shark Jumper
Here's hoping they remolded the head and chest.

Skystalker's previous release had light blue wings/legs, the new one has those in green. They used the old version of Ratchet in the pic, but since they don't re-release figures on futurewaves, it would surely be a repaint.
