Thanks to TFW member GenZhao for bringing us clear images of the Classics Bumblebee from the upcoming Wal-mart Exclusive Bumblebee set. Along with Transformers: The Movie Concept Camaro Bumblebee and Transformers Animated Bumblebee, the set will contain a re-styled Classics Bee. The new styling shows the white stripes and accents replaced with black. More pics after the jump!

to me its lack of paint… black bootay
Torque
im at a loss here-whats wrong with the paint?
JOHNDILLINGA
I think if they just released one without the craptacular Vehicle mode Paint apps I buy one in a heart beat…

Didn't like the rub-signs during G1. Didn't like them on Classics. Still don't like them.
Far as I'm concerned, if all he's getting is a rub-sign, I'd rather have one without.
Automorpher
Woah, now THAT'S a good one!
jazz4ever
meh he is good i geuss but he is only available in a three-pack so i will pass

It comes with a rub sign in package. Pics here. The site got great photos.

He's supposed to be a spy. James Bond doesn't swan about with a Union Jack on his tuxedo jacket.
warriorpriest
That is becuase he is really yellowjacket the evil bumblebee clone.
REDLINE
I just can't believe he gets no faction symbol of any kind.

So let me get this straight, 3 Bumblees in one package they are:
1. Classic Bumblebee repaint
2. Movie Bumblebee re-model that is repainted
3. Animated Bumblebee with the stingers fixed
So what makes this Walmart 3 pack worth it? Is it me or is Hasbro doing the G2 GoBots toys again, 10 models with 6 different paint jobs each (or the G2 Dinobots)

Car mode looks like crap, but I actually like the robot mode. Don't know if I'll pick it up though since I don't really like this mold.
warriorpriest
It looks more like the character Yellow jacket(fan made??) then bumblebee.
Cloudraker
I would. Its a good deal. I have Classics BB but not in this deco.
I also have movie BB but not with his battle mask. Wasn't that only previously found on Stealth BB? As for Animated BB, I've Been passing him up all this time waiting for Elite Guard Bumblebee so this is a good way to catch up.
Optimus Sledge
Of course! I'm sure the factory manager was handing them out as an incentive for good work. OF COURSE IT WAS STOLEN.
Automorpher
You know, this is 1 of those REPAINTS that I'm thankful to Hasbro. *Keeping my wallet CLOSED!*
GenZhao
There is NO Autobot sign on him anywhere. I found that odd. Maybe this will be corrected for the mass release but I'm not sure.
They will all be like this smart ass…. We know from other recent previous repaints that the quality of painting sucks. And like I said this was the best out of a box of many… they come from the same production line as the ones that end up in package… and Hey how do I know that this wasnt a legit TF taken out of a damaged package and sold to atleast get some money for it after the production run was over. I'm not going to make the assumption that it was stolen from the factory… If it shouldnt be out is not a for sure test if it is stolen. Lots of toys end up in warehouses before their legit release. For all we know the manager of the plant may sell some damaged packages off that can not be sold by hasbro.
Dark Magnus
That's funny because I'm doing the opposite. The original BB will be my "bumper" while this new deco will be my classics bee. Just need to find a new head for bumper.
Torque
if i dont have any sort of classics BB mold but already have him in Animated and the Movie version-should i get the pack?

^ Man, we need a taxi Transformer.
