Amazon also does it, and is surprisingly better at pissing people off.

Buzzworthy isn’t causing Kingdom to not show up. It’s just going really fast due to scalpers and people who are looking for them. It’s the reason I still haven’t found a 86 Jazz or Scourge. A earlier post goes into more detail on this. I actually went to a super target a few days ago, and they were all out of the buzzworthy reissues. They just had one kingdom primal, and way too many kingdom wave 1 cores.

 

No preorder links yet, right?

 

It would be good for the power charge figure to be restocked, as it’s the best official Bumblebee movie Bumblebee figure, as it’s better than the MPM or the SS.

Origins Bumblebee is G1 pilot / MTMTE part 1 saucer Bumblebee, according to the leaks. We should’ve gotten this in siege, but better late than never. Wish they’d give us Wheeljack, though.

 

They haven’t even been revealed.

 

IIRC the arms, hips and legs had remolding to make them more curved compared to Tracks. Plus the Animated inspired head and a G1 toy inspired weapon. The changes were not huge, but noticeable if looked for in the pictures. For this figure I am assuming we will only have a head change. Probably Animated inspired like the MP, but could be the facemask G1 toy inspired as well. A new weapon is possible, but I doubt it. I think altering the body is even less likely, but not unheard of in Generations. The Torchbearers had similar remolding to make their robot mode more feminine.

 

Exactly. It has happened. For example I know of stories that listed the Scout Insecticons (I forget which one) as a deluxe and that caused pricing issues.

 

And exclusives?

People would end up dead, I'd imagine.

 

Just checkin’.
Guess I’m a little jumpy when it comes to exclusives.  

 

Understandable given how the moment they go live it's like a feeding frenzy.

 

I may be in the minority, but I hope she has a toy accurate head. That’s the only way I knew her for a good decade. Even then, the Botcon SG Tracks wasn’t “officially” repurposed as Road Rage until ehobby did it. But yeah, there aren’t many females with faceplates, so I’m all for Road Rage and Glyph to have them.

 

Im hoping UK Pulse gets Roadrage as always wanted her, plus she doesnt conform to girlbot must be skinny shellformer either.

Pulse gets some target stuff right? Not much obviously but some.....I hope.

 

Especially with those price points.

If they're ready to shoot the next movie soon (and with a release date of next year), one has to imagine they have the robots designed by now. Maybe they're from the upcoming movie?

 

Possibly a new weapon or two as well if Runabout is anything to go by.  

 

I'd be more than happy with just a new head, but I would prefer some of the extra remolding like the Masterpiece to make her a little more feminine.

If they do the remolding on her body then I would want the faceplate, but if they don't do the remolding I want her to have the more feminine face. I know that might be a weird mix up of priorities but I actually do like both faces for Roadrage, and also if she just had the regular body and the mouth plate she'd be extremely similar to Loudpedal in terms of physical appearance, just different colors.

 

runabout didn’t come with a new weapon. It’s more runamuck’s weapon was omitted. There were shots with him actually having that second gun which is actually his signature weapon. Something behind the scenes happened there

 

no because we have have Earthrise/kingdom optimus and we are never getting a Megatron that turns into his original altmode. That’s never happening. People really need to let that idea that they’re going to make Megatron as a gun again go.

 

I'm sure I'll be tempted by Road Rage, especially if they give her any remolding like the MP figure got, which I'm not expecting but which wouldn't surprise me too much either since she's turning out to be a Target exclusive and not a Selects release. That vehicle mode will look great in red.

I'm expecting to be disappointed but I really hope 'Origins Bumblebee' is the G1 saucer mode, purely because with a new head it'd be great as a CHUG Animated Wasp.

 

I think Origins Bumblebee might be a re-release of that Netflix earth-mode exclusive.

 

Based on earlier rumors this year from catz, and other whispers over the course of 2021 - the common thread being "a form Hasbro has yet to release for the character" - it sounds like Origins Bee may be the MTMTE Saucer-mode.

 

I hope you're right. If that's true, I'll be repainting my first one into a Glyph. If I can find two, the second one can be actual Bumblebee.
