Spin-Out
Yeah, dumb kids don't know nothing about Transformers! Make the toyline for adult collectors ONLY!
Alexander Quinn
Nice, but I'm happy with my Cannon version.

Specific shade of gray, placement and choice of accent paint apps, and which head-mold they use, could, to me at least, make a huge difference compared to past color schemes of this mold.
RedAlert Rescue
Judging by the hood vent, the nose spoiler, and the way the back window is caved in it's a straight repaint of the preview bumblebee (perhaps this time they might pack it in vehicle mode though) ?
I'd prefer if they used the Stealth / Premium Bumblebee head on it though this time.
I like the bluish grey interlimb color (sort of a bit like Cliffjumper). I'd probably have prefered a Patrol Bumblebee (smilar to the Animated Activator's colors) or a straight Cliffjumper Version 2 (perhaps with battle mode head and metallic paint).
Pity about the arm though as I prefer the old 2 armed design to the cannon arm version as the new arm is not very good.

I like it. the Deluxe Bumblebee looks cool.
Hotwire
Any idea what that logo on the door is?

I certainly hope, for those who buy him, that the final product will have better matching yellows between the different panels… wow, they're really off!

Here is a guess: the bot mode colors will be primarily yellow and grey plastics.
Ravenxl7
Interesting, but I'm not sure I'll get it. I'm going to wait and see the bot-mode before forming an opinion. The color of the bot-mode parts, and what head sculpt he has, will make it or brake it for me. Who knows, with the right bot-mode coloration, the right head sculpt, and the right cannon, this could make for a good Movie version of Bumper.

because i missed out on the regular Rotf BB molds in my area…..they just vanished
plus I like the Roof stripes
rubbing alcohol should get rid of the excess stuff on the sides.
SMOG
Wow… yeah… you're right. That was a blast from the past, just remembering that.

The scarcity of this mold from Summer 2007 seems like a distant memory.
Black Convoy
It's more a variant than a repaint, nothing impressive.
TM2 D-bot
HA and Ultimate are not the same mold as the deluxe class figure this is based on. That size class is the one he is listing.
SMOG
Okay, okay… that's it.
F*** this ****ing mold! Enough is enough! Bumblebee can go to toy robot hell already.
It's really a pretty good mold, but give it a rest Hasbro! How about you repaint it into some new colours or characters? How about a new headsculpt? I mean GEEZ!

Hotwire
Wait. We're gonna get a Red Rampage?!?!!?!?!? WTF?!?!
Also, TCJJ, what is the difference between Preview Bumblebee, and regular Bumblebee? You also forgot Human Aliance Bumblebee, and the giant Ultimate Bumblebe, now called Battle Charged.

Its been explained in this thread several times now, if you still don't understand then I honestly don't know what to say.
Unrealistic comment is unrealistic. Bumblebee sells like crack to the target audience, i.e. kids. As evidenced in this thread, most collectors won't touch this, but as it'll be the only deluxe Bee on the shelf when it hits it -will- sell. I've seen Cannon Bee on the shelf maybe twice since Wave 3 hit back in July. Only reason Preview Bee ever hit saturation was because he shipped 4 to a case or something during the product launch.
Jarodimus
A. Because a redeco costs much less to produce than a new mold.
B. Because another toy of the kid-favorite hero character will sell 7000% better than one of a character who appeared in 2.9 seconds of the film.
C. Because they hate you.
D. All of the above.
TCJJ
Right… what is the point, exactly? What, they slapped on a new decal and that warrants a whole new release? That's ridiculous. Man, I got the first version of the Concept Camaro mould in 2007, and that sucked ass, so I sold it. If that had quality control problems, I really just could not imagine the quality control with this. Encore Bruticus had some horrible mould degradation, but, I believe this mould has been used more than that mould now. This is ridiculous. I don't even own a Movie Bumblebee, but I am going to get the Human Alliance, and that is IT.
You're missing some. Let me name them all that share the same/similar mould. Or at least, I'll try.
First Movie:
2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee
2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Premium (new head, grey paint)
2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Screen Battles (same as premium, except without the new head)
2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Allspark Powered
2009 Concept Camaro Cliffjumper
2009 Concept Camaro Stealth Bumblebee
2009 Concept Camaro Bumblebee Battle-damaged (from the Evolution of a Hero two-pack)
Second Movie:
2010 Concept Camaro Preview Bumblebee (new head, new arm, remoulded bumper and hood)
2010 Concept Camaro Cannon Bumblebee (ok, it has a new torso. But from the waist down, it's the same toy)
2010 Concept Camaro Bumblebee: This piece of crap.
So yea, I just listed two more. I think I may also be missing one or two. Damn, this mould is overused, and I hate it. Human Alliance all the way. But it's the dumbasses that just keep buying these. They are the ones that are basically telling Hasbro for us "Please give us more useless, pointless, shitty, uncreative repaints because we WILL buy them!"
U.Magnus80
Ah yes. Cause we all wanted yet another BB instead of…….say…….Buster Prime?
I've been a serious fan of Camaros for a long time. I bought all the first movie BBs for that reason.
That was enough. I'm done. HA wins. Its only downhill from there.
