    Nah.

    1. See movie
    2. Want toy of hot new Camaro
    3. Go looking for said toy
    4. Find only "old" Camaro.
    5. Buy "old" Camaro cuz that's all there is. $
    6. Stumble on or find out that the new Camaro is out.
    7. But that one too. $$

    Way I see it, the people who know, like those here, know both are coming and will want both. Then you'll have those not so well informed who don't know the new Camaro is coming later.

    I can see that, but i figured since the new camaro was such a big deal to Chevy/GM (not to mention, presumably more prominent in the movie) they'd like the product out as early as possible.

    O8 Bumblebee is the best deluxe in ages, not since the RID Car robot brothers have we seen a toy that so deftly blends looks and ingenuity.

    Hats off to whoever worked on this!

    Yeah, that grammatical mistake in Bumblebee's bio is really annoying. Durn Hasbro, contributing to the disintegration of the English language.

    But aside from that, all is well. I look forward to getting both of these very much, particularly Bumblebee (who, with his new bio, seems to be exhibiting some Tracks-esque vanity).

    Hmmm..... between Arcee's and Mirage's bios, I wonder how long it is till we see a "turbofox" figure. I'm curious. I picture it as a legless, hovering, little jet-propelled robot with a fox tail. :)

    Anyone ever play "Space station Silicon Valley" on the N64? It had the very definition of a turbofox. ;)

    Holy crap. Both are made of win!

    Calm down about those bios. Hit them with the GrammarHammer all you want, but they're not gonna change. A bunch of kids aren't going to care much.

    I still don't understand that.

    Could have cared less is still a viable expression to me.

    I could not have cared less means that you are at the rock bottom of apathy.

    I could care less is a sarcastic way of saying "I already don't care, but trust me, this is so lame, I could have even more apathy if I wanted to. I'm just being nice."

    Why can't caring vary by levels greater or lesser than the current amount of caring?

    Maybe Bumblebee cares just a little bit (as seen at the end of the bio), but when it comes down to it, its function over fashion for him.

    Whoa! One thing is for sure: if somehow, at some point they decide to use Arcee (and thus a female aoutbot) in the movie, like part 2/3 or something, I would totally approve of her design!

    Looks really female.

    Very cool.

    Bumblebee is drifting into Sunstreaker territory, and Arcee seems to have grown up with Mirage. :lol
