Looks like an Evasion Mode repaint.

 

I can't decide if I want it to be a Nemesis deco on Takara's Bee Movie Prime upscale or not.

 

Interesting???

 

If i\'m being honest, i really hope it isn\'t evasion mode prime. One of the things that has me so happy with Bumblebee was how its a reboot, and how even in his short appearances, Prime was very much a different character in this film that the Bayformers films. It would just seem like a really low effort celebration to use a Bayformers figure to celebrate a series which, at this point, a bulk of people are loving because of its distance from the Bay films.

At the end of the day i am happy we are getting new figures (even if they are just repaints) which means more choices for people. I\'m excited we\'re getting SOMETHING, but i just hope its something more in line with the movie its celebrating. 

 

It's the legendary Optimus mold. Notice the wheels on the legs. Evasion has two on the calves and one on the thighs/hips. Legendary Optimus has the inverse, two on the hips/thighs and one on the calves. As for paint it's probably Nemesis Prime again. Only other option is a BB movie accurate paint deco

 

Let\'s hear it for a weathered age of extinction accurate paint job! The most obvious deco for the legendary mold.

oughta be a studio series leader evasion prime.

 

I'm guessing a Nemesis Prime repaint of the BB-01 Legendary Optimus Mold.

 

Nemesis Prime?

 

It’s the Lebron version, in movie style this time.

 

Wouldn't it make sense to release a more accurately painted version of Bumblebee movie Prime mold? It's a superior mold and Evasion has nothing to do with the Bumblebee movie.

 

I'm about 90% sure the silhouette is Legendary Prime.

 

"Who's that Pokemon?!"

 

I hope its Evasion mode prime in a more accurate white/rust deco. I wasnt gonna buy that platinum 3 pack.

Also sad to see that some people are still delusional and think Bumblebee was a reboot when it was clearly a prequel. A prequel with some inconsistencies, but still a prequel.

 

Guessing Hasbro telling everyone it is, and the fact that plot elements create some pretty large discontinuities with the Bay films, is what's got people thinking that. Mostly Hasbro calling it "a new story telling universe" though.

 

The producer came out and squashed all that reboot stuff a long time ago. Travis Knight even said it. I guess people must not listen to the people who make the movies. They believe a toy company that makes the toys. Sad.

 

Okay so this is legendary prime. I’m really hoping it’s a fire guts Ginrai redeco. That’d be sick.

 

To be fair, when Lorenzo and Travis said that it was a prequel, it was at a time when people weren’t sure if Bee was going to be a success and sit right with people. I’m guessing if it hadn’t been so successful, it would have just been labeled as a prequel. However, as previously mentioned, there’s a lot of large discontinuities with the Bay films. It’s oretty safe to assume that this is a reboot.

 

Since the original legendary prime is already g1 accurate like the bee movie this is either clear, nemesis or aoe version

 

The Evasion mold has been beat to death so many times that it's now called "Yamcha."
