    Based on what weve seen of Scourges cgi model thus far, im praying he isnt going to be backpack city. Other than that, im excited to see Arcee\'s Studio Series figure next

    I bet Scourge will be more involved and fold inside out like SS Galvatron.


    As for Arcee, she is a core Class release, so I’m putting too much money on her being amazing unless they put a lot of money into her. Core Class Laserbeak(DOTM) is an awful figure, yet Core Shockwave(BB) wasn’t, so who knows how she will turn out.

    As some other comments have stated, this reminds me of Jeep Bee in all the best ways. Some kibble, but it’s managed well, appears to be accurately proportioned, and seems to be complex enough to fiddle with but simple enough not to be frustrating. Will definitely pick this guy up!

    Given these figures are more rushed to release this year, I'm betting scourge is going to be more kibbly and blocky like DOTM megatron was, rather than inside-out engineering like Galvatron.

    Looks really fun, needs more silver paint around the eyes though.

    I gotta ask, who aside from people for whom the Bayformers movies were the first TF thing ever, is even buying these utterly identical Bumblebees? I mean literally they all look almost the same.

    I bet a third party will make one of these that will look way better.

    I really like the design, but like the majority of people I\'m pretty disappointed with the unpainted blade. Oh well, nothing a silver paint pen can\'t fix

    I have to say, initial pic’s didn’t do this one any favors. But I actually now like it more than I did at first. It also seems better than SS01- simple is good. Not worth &25 however, wave 1 clearance will ve fine

    Still feels a waste that all the new crash bars and lights fold away for robot mode. I was excited to see Bee’s new robot look when the on set car photos leaked.

    As someone who has bought almost every Camaro Bee, I can tell you I have no idea why I buy almost every one of the releases, but I do.
    Though I think on the upside, if I could one day set up dedicated display shelves for each Bay film, I’d have a Bumblebee for each shelf.
    Unlikely. Those WFC Bumblebee and Barricade figures must be decked out with paint apps considering the paint budget is divided between wave and size assortments. Those two were the original wave mates for Bumblebee and Airrazor.

    Though quite honestly this Bee could’ve benefited from reassigning his paint apps. The stripes on top are unnecessary, and easily could’ve netted us a bit more paint for the blade and the finer details of his face.

    Probably some and completionists. And I could see that though that they all look the same. I see the differences but I could see why some would somewhat see them all as the same.

    Nice, except for the unpainted sword and half-painted face. Love that vehicle mode.
