A new variant version of the Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee has been spotted in Singapore! This new version of Cannon Bumblebee, who ships in the same wave as the “Mudflap” license plate variant of Mudflap, features clear blue plastic windows on his vehicle mode instead of the frosted blue plastic that was all but opaque on the first release versions. According to Louisiana based member Haloid1177, most stores that are restocking wave 3 are restocking with this version of Bumblebee, rather than the frosted windows version, so this may be a running change.

TFM2007 Variants do not cost more money. Here are some examples:
1. Deluxe Classic Camaro Bumblebee- The mass release version does not have an extra line detail on the hood button whereas the Evolution of a Hero 2 pack version does. There is also gray paint variations among them.
2. Deluxe Concept Camaro Bumblebee- the first group did not have tabs in the panel that covers the upper legs. A running change put tabs on the panels so they hold better in alt mode.
3. Voyager Starscream- there are paint variations between the mass release Starscream and the Sam's Club 3 pack with Battle Damaged Arcee and Optimus. The Sams Club version had darker black paint
4. Deluxe Final Battle Jazz- The paint apps on the mass release and the one found in the Screen Battles Battle at Mission City 2 pack with Megatron have noticably different paint apps.
In each of the above cases, the toys are advertised as the same to be the same and neither toy has a higher value than their variant counterpart. It is very rare for someone willing to pay more for one version over the other. They either do not know or do not care.

looks better than the fogged windows. MAKE UP UR MIND HASBRO! NO VARIANTS UNLESS THEY COME WITH COOKIES!

I wish Cannon BB can hold the old one's weapon. :/

I bought the cannon BB on a whim and found it to be a very nice modification to the original deluxe toy. the car hood chest does lack the splitting detail, but overall I think it is an improvement.

Crazy….. I actually got this like a month ago at toys r us. It was close to fathers day, as I remember. This model is way better then the first wave.

Thanks for the heads up!! Good pictures too. Hadn't found Cannon BB in my area yet, so maybe I'll see this one soon. Been looking for the Mudflap plate but all my stores still have Trax, will keep looking! Said I wasn't going to buy anymore, but I lied to myself for Autobots!!

i might actually buy this figure now

I really do want the Mudflap variant as well. So I'm guessing the one with the Trax license plate will be tougher to find. Cause I got my Trax one from HasbroToyShop.

Anyone have good pics of the frosted windows version?
Haloid1177
I don't think these will be harder to find. Give stores some time to cycle through the old Cannon BBs, and I'm pretty sure you will be seeing the clear window variants' left and right.

Helped one of my guys purchase this so he've both variants by now.

Um…..YES?!! Solid windows = turn off.
Clear windows = Good.

Great…more money out the door. I'm beginning to regret being a completionist!
So far, we have:
Sideways: Light and dark
Breakaway: Tan and Brown
Skids: Green teeth and Painted teeth
Mudflap: Trax plate and Mudflap plate
And now, Bumblebee: fogged vs clear windows.
Any other variants I've omitted from this list? Please say no. My wallet can't handle many more.

Whatever.
I didn't plan on getting him anyway.
My dad bought one.
I should tell him not to open it.
AutobotSkids
Cool, I might pick it up.
Angelwave
Thank you…neither will I.
Luxor
still wont be getting him

Because Hasbro can't make up their fucking minds when it comes to toy deco.

This is bullshit. This means I have to hunt for these which are rarer. Why are there so many variants in this line?
