We have a “new” Rescue Bots Bumblebee available for purchase. It is an individual release of the Jeep Bumblebee included with the Rescue Bots Rock Rescue Team. The figure has a slight change in deco for this release, replacing the red stripes of the jeep with light green paint.
This figure is now available online via Amazon for $9.99. Thanks to 2005 Boards member TheBeastman for the heads up. 2005 Boards member OCProwl was lucky to find this toy at Target in Irvine, California for $7.89.
You can check out the images after the jump. Have you spotted a new toy or variant? Keep reporting it on the 2005 Boards!

I love how they tie Rescue Bots into the current movie; the dinobot modes appeared with AOE, last year it was a dragon theme, and now it looks like they're tying it into the Bumblebee movie. Hopefully there are more Jeep Bumblebee figures on the way.

"Bumblebee… Are you trying to copy Hotshot again?"
"… No?"

Might get this for my bumblebee movie collection if they dont do the studio edition version of bumblebee in his jeep mode.

WOW
They really won't let Hot Shot try to go back to his former glory will they? Gotta reuse him for 'Bee!

I found this Jeep Bumblebee at Target in Irvine, CA the other day. First retail sighting? Didn't see it posted as news yet.
Related thread but not a "retail" sighting per-se (describing the Amazon listing)

Same here. Found it at Target Tuesday. I posted in the “most recent” purchase thread as I thought it was a repack.

Have we actually seen what he looks like before?

His listing has been there since the end of May (May 30), but it is actually in stock now, so that's news.

Was browsing around amazon and found this little guy, an individual repack and repaint of that Bumblebee from the Rescue Set. Apologies if this was already reported or if pics were shown, I looked around and couldn't find anything nor do I remember seeing it.
