    Anyone else thinking, slap a new head and a red paint job for a nice windcharger

    I really like the head sculpt! I don't hate Bumblebee like most other people, but I guess I'm in the minority.

    Bring it on!

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I like this Bumblebee quite a bit.

    Not a big Bee fan. But have to say looks cool.

    I think I have over 100 different transforming Bees now (not a single straight redeco!).

    EDIT: 107 apparently.

    Y'know, the nice thing about this mold is that false hood on his chest. That could easily be replaced/remolded with different detailing, and applied to another character (Stunticons come to mind, or perhaps Nightbeat). It just looks like a nice, basic, generic car Transformer. I wonder if Hasbro already has remold/repaints in the works. I guess we'll have to wait and see if there are any tip-offs in his instructions manual.

    I'm on the fence but I'll probably end up getting it.

    Mirroring what a lot of people have said, I'm really hoping they redeco this guy as someone else... ANYONE else. Windcharger, Rapido, Cliffjumper... Hell, even freakin' Decepticharge. It's a really nice looking mold and I'd like to get it, but I got enough Bumblebees to last me until the next franchise reboot.

    The fake chest is a bit of a let down, I hope HasTak stays away from that trend in the future, it seems more and more figures are cheating, I hate that. It's not like a no-cheat transformation is impossible...

    I like it, but at this point in time, there's no excuse for an incomplete car spoiler. Just like Hasbro's Springer. One extra joint, maybe one extra piece of plastic.

    It's just a lazy, half-hearted effort. A bit of a waste that one mode has to look so incomplete.

    A head swap and crisp paint job might make for a nice Classics-styled Prime Knockout or Bayverse Barricade.

    All those sound great especially WC but for some strange reason Bot mode reminds me of Chromedome.

    Yeah the false chest actually excites me because it opens a lot of customizing options

    Why is Windcharger such a common request for the reapint? Bot mode looks very little like him.
