    I’m really happy that these figures exist. Bumblebee is definitely the figure I’m the most excited to getting for the rest of this year.

    I think I might actually be in agreement. He looks perfect to me, and I don't mind the shield/backpack that so many people get upset over

    'Bee looks great. So do those colors on Elita. Too bad she's still got the backpack.

    I assume the colors on Bee aren't final? I'm getting him either way but I'd rather him be a much lighter yellow.

    The fact that BB reuses CJs bazooka bothers me more than Elita reusing Arcee's alt mode.

    I still hate the absurd partsforming with a mighty passion, but I'm actually relieved to see BB can where his "shield" as a backpack: when they didn't show that in the Walmart pix + how much larger and awkwardly shaped it is compared to Cliffjumper's, I was concerned it wasn't going to fit and really was just going to be 1/2 his alt mode tossed aside for robot mode.

    these pix make Elita look a bit better, but the white thighs are really jarring compared to the rest of the deco. ( I don't mind it as an accent on the midriff and chest plate, but the huge white area looks weird on her legs)
    guessing since Hubcap is so light/canary yellow they went orangier/darker yellow on BB?
    yeah, know that this is BB, and they'll probably milk this mold, it's rather annoying that they didn't include a character specific accessory instead of ANOTHER character's specific accessory.

    I wonder if Bug Bite will be a straight repaint or get a G1 toy facemask head?

    I'll be getting Bumblebee's pistol from the Centurion Weaponizer Pack, and this bazooka can go to someone like Brawl or Outback!

    I've been using CJ's bazooka on Megatron's back to recreate his classic shoulder barrel, so I'm actually fine with Bee having the bazooka because now CJ can get his back, and I already have the Centurion on order so Bee will be set as well.

    The bazooka reuse is a bit annoying, but at least it has different configurations so that the accessory loadout can at least look different between the mold shares. And while not ideal, there are at least 2 options for a Bumblebee specific gun (though both require buying another figure). Both cyberverse deluxe bumblebee and centurion weapon pack have a MP bumblebee style gun

    You could just have the bazooka in the dual blasters config for bumblebee

    I can not wait to see some customizers swap that tan and add a bunch of pink onto Elita-1

    yep, I've got 2 centurion packs on order, so if I decide to get this BB, he'll get one and Classics will get the other (he's been using one of the RiD'01 build teams little pistols for 15 years, he'll be glad to get his own pistol)

    ooooohhhhh, hadn't thought of giving it to Outback. nice!

    Are we sure that’s final and not a miscolored sample?

    I’m passing on Arcee, but I may get Elita-1. I didn’t mind the partsforming with Cliffjumper, so Bumblebee is bought. Hasbro needs to settle down with the partsforming, though.

    this is the biggest reason I'm having a hard time buying them. I just don't want to send the message it's ok.
    We KNOW they're better than this, because they've BEEN better than this for 20+ years. and when a 3rd party can make a simple adaptor to make CJ change without partsorming, that tells me Hasbro could have figured it out too -probably better.

    (and honestly, I don't even understand why they made BB/CJ change the way they do, with the chests ending up the wrong way round compared to history, it doesn't do anything to improve looks or proportions and seems like it just makes them needlessly more complicated: I think they could have followed the basic template of Classics BB's transformation, with some of the improvements here (doors wrapping the heels) and they would have had a much better looking figure)
