While Toy Fair 2012 is happening over on this side of the pond, Japan’s Wonder Festival is currently going and while toys (such as Figma Link) are getting the spotlight from many sites, a bit of Transformers-relevant news has popped up: Namely the announcement that there will be a Revoltech Movie Bumblebee in the Sci-Fi Revoltech line. While no price is announced at this time, the toy will be a June 2012 release.

There's actually a good chance it won't…we haven't seen a Cliffjumper redeco of a Movie Bumblebee mold since the first film (Deluxe, Legends) unless you count the 3-inch Titanium that popped up during RotF, plus Revoltech never bothered with the conventional redeco choices that Takara so often covers (Skywarp, Thundercracker, Black Convoy, clear Optimus or Starscream, Black Rodimus) for their original G1 Transformers aside from White Optimus/Ultra Magnus and there's no indication they'll redeco the DotM Optimus they've already done. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think this Revoltech line has really been geared toward redecos much anyways.

I admit it looks cool and that I will probably buy it but damn… I was hoping for Meg.
Now with DOTM being so faraway and that Bumblebee not being even close to its release, I assume there's little to no chance of Megatron happening down the line.
The idea of never owning a somewhat accurate representation of that amazing DOTM Megatron design makes me sad.

Yep, THIS is what I was hoping for when the DMK was announced last year.
Also that new pic is gorgeous. Can't wait to see this guy in colour.

I just realized there's a really good chance this will end up a cliffjumper repaint. I'm all in!

Way, WAY better than the DMK. Sorta want.

I tell ya i really hate bumblebee anymore. He used to be a fun charcater cause he was the udnerdog…the little wimpy guy who no one though could do much but always did alot. with him being so warrior-ish in every incarnation almost (animated being an exception…that was more of the bumblebee i liked) its really taken away form what made the character so liekable…plus hasbro shoves BILLIONS of f&^king bungholebee figrues out every chance they get and its like "okay i never wanna see another bumblebee figure made EVER!" KINDA FEELING. Oiy and worse off he dont even transform…so easy to pass on this.

Wow! I just have a big shelf, a lot of empty space left!
Just it's a pity, that they would not be in the same scale.

It's a sad day when revoltech becomes a pricey toy line, it used to be that Revoltech was the cheap but quality toy line

Pretty much this. I understand why they chose 'Bee, but I would've killed for a Revoltech Sentinel! That would've been so cool! But hey…I'll probably still get him.

Looks pretty damn cool, to bad the line is just a tad too pricey for my tastes

I was hoping for Bee to be released in this line. Like Split Lip said, the design lends itself extremely well to the exaggerated proportions the Revo's have.
Bee's movie design just kicks so much ass and this looks to be the most accurate representation yet.
Can't wait to own this
EDIT: Hmm, I hope his door wings can be positioned more like in the movies. Ie: attached to his spine rather than the sides of his back.

Oh for the love of Primus… ANOTHER Bumblebee?!?!?

I don't care if this is the God of Bumblebees. It's still another Bumblebee.

Forget DOTM Megatron. ROTF Megatron was far cooler looking.

Now I'll probably have to buy this and DotM Prime to jumpstart my Revoltech collection. Huh.
Seeker
I'll pass. This Bumblebee craze has left me cold.

They really want to kill us with Bumblebee don't they…
