    Only if it is a new mold or extensive remold. A Red Bumblebee is not Cliffjumper.

    It should be. They are planning on releasing a Hubcap from their Cliffjumper. An update on their Sideswipe and Red Alert would be cool. Optimus seems to be progressing; time for more than a silhouette of the lambos.

    I like the Sky Spy being released with Goldbug; more props would welcome. I like Ratchet's tools. Even some humans scaled to work with their figures would be nice.

    There is a gray prototype of their proper mold CliffJumper. Its is buried in all the pages of the BB thread. It looks great!

    Nice that it comes with the G2 / Classics Legion "Gold Bumblebee" head too.

    I would have to agree though that I'd have liked Ravage to be cast in white or Dark blue or even Orange though.
    But as I have not bought a Bee yet I guess I can buy one without Ravage on purpose.

    Is this the first all-gold Goldbug since the G1 version? I feel like all his other toys break it up somehow, even the official Legends one

    I wish I could like this mold but the car roof beer gut kills the aesthetic for me.

    I'm happy with my TR Bumblebee for his CHUG self, but a Legends-scale Goldbug would be nice...too bad they didn't retool anything else for the repaint. :(

    Goldbug looks nice. But the third-parties just refuse to do a Cliffjumper, huh?

    ...the hot soldiers scale a little large for legends: ironhide is the same size as his G1 toy, these minibots about the size of THS prime...

    Man, I want to love this. We need a good Legends Goldbug. But that goofy ass long torso is still as disappointing as my son.

    Get the KO version of Ratbat. It's identical and like you, I'm not buying SoundBlaster just to get Ratbat. I got the KO and couldn't be happier with my $18 purchase.

    I also agree that the Sky Spy looks just like the one that came with Transportation Captain.
