New alt. mode and guns is a good enough reason. They will both be mine!!! (Side note: hope reprolabels does a set for bee crosshairs and drift, they REALLY need it)
As much as I want that Crosshairs now, I think I might wait and hope they do a platinum Autobot set again later on.
I'd go ahead and bite if I were you. Those sets were unveiled at SDCC last year, and there have been no rumors about them being shown off at hascon. Plus there was nothing in the leak. Also, stock AOE crosshairs with reprolabels ended up looking better than the one from the set.
Oh dang. Yeah I can see it not happening this time, since the other Autobots barely did anything in TLK.
Crosshairs looks good. Yes his rims could be dark colored but thats no big deal. What I don't understand is how the preview images had clear headlamps on him and now the final is black?! Why black?! What headlamps are black?! Bee is missing a bit of paint, sure. No paint on the side vents doesn't bother me but not painting the rear section of the side skirt certainly does. No paint on the tailpipes, no gold rear bowtie, the taillights thank god have paint compared to AOE Bee. It certainly would of been nice if they made the fender autobot emblems black and the robot mode bowtie gold. I don't get why everyone thinks this is the best bee figure ever but its certainly an interesting change.
Wow, this is a true dilemma. TLK Crosshairs is a superior version of the mold due to the improvements made, but he's really hurting in the paint department. I have the Autobots United Crosshairs with the lovely metallic olive paint and it's gonna be hard going from that to the bright bright green...
Crosshairs looks pretty cool. I didn't like the character, but the new figure just looks so awesome, that it just makes the AOE version looks like a prototype (Even through it's still a fine figure) Something about Bumblebee just doesn't feel right for me. The car mode is fine, but the headsculpt and the paint job on the robot mode just feels kinda cheap for me.
Oh gosh, my bad haha. I misread Aoe as Tlk and thought you were saying the Tlk figure looked bad compared to the Aoe version. I was so confused.
