Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Class Bumblebee is not happening. The final nail in the coffin was a production sample of Premier Edition Voyager Decepticon Nitro coming with the same product number as the rumored Voyager Bumblebee. But, something else was discovered as well.
2005 Boards Members Mr. Chaos and Nevermore are reporting a mysterious new Transformers: The Last Knight 13th Deluxe Class figure under the code name Saturn Rings.
“But that’s not all Mr. Chaos did. He also revealed, via his contact at Toys”R”Us, that there’s a thirteenth Deluxe Class figure for The Last Knight’s general retail assortment listed in Toys”R”Us’s systems, with the previously unheard of code name “Saturn Rings”.
He later added the UPC barcode (63050962489, or 630509624898 including the check digit), and even later also added the Hasbro product code number (C4058).
That number is higher, much higher than all the currently known product code numbers for any other Transformers figure (the next highest number I have is C3481 for the yet-to-be-revealed Allspark Tech Starter Pack Autobot Sqweeks listed at Amazon Spain and Amazon Italy). So it’s not like this is a canceled wave 3 Deluxe figure… more like a wave 4 Deluxe figure, based on Hasbro’s previous numbering patterns.”
We currently do not know what this new development will turn out to be. It may not come at all since Hasbro stated (during their Hangout session with fansites) that what we saw was the last of the TLK line.

Just a minor correction, as I've made the mistake too, but I believe his war name was actually ZB-7. Otherwise, I think your theory's entirely plausible

Alright remember that scene where TRF attacks Bumblebee and his head comes off? Maybe initially Bumblebee's head would've taken over Nitro's body and that body would've been used towards the end to fight Prime.
Just a thought as we know the script had scrapped parts. As for mystery deluxe, maybe it is Hot Rod but I'm leaning on CZ7(WW2 Bumblebee). Had this line been planned to be as long as ROTF I highly doubt Hasbro would've passed up the opportunity to make WW2 Bumblebee.

So whether the "Voyager Bumblebee" listings for Nitro at Amazon Spain and Toys"R"Us UK were due to an error or an older plan that got changed, the name came from Hasbro, since he's also listed under that name at the Spanish version of the Hasbro website:
TRANSFORMERS 5- Voyager BUMBLEBEE | Transformers
Nevermore
"Saturn Rings" is Hot Rod, yes.
Fasttrack
Also a distinct possibility, yes.
My main statement though was that the code name "Saturn Rings" is Hot Rod
The rest of my post was just a possible explanation for why it was found in another stores computer system
Nevermore
Or Hot Rod was at one point supposed to be a general retail release before Hasbro struck a deal with Walmart.
Fasttrack
Didn't the code name Saturn Rings end up being for Hot Rod?
So this could be a general retail release of the Walmart exclusive?

At this point I think it's got something to do with the bee movie line.

Do we know if this "thirteenth" deluxe is real or not?

Why are we putting WW2 Bumblebee under spoiler tags? The movie is already out and there have been trailers and tv spots for more than a month portraying Bumblebee in his WW2 mode.

Give us a yellow car Bee, and no one cares, but if you change the color of alt mode and you'll see people get excited, unless the color is black.

All I know is, As much as I want Saturn's Ring to be a sign of Wave 4 I doubt that's going to happen.
Nevermore
Some characters have two different code names that are not related to each other.
Other characters have similar code names despite being completely different characters.
Thus, trying to draw a connection between a new code name and an existing one is completely ignoring the nonexistence of any system behind those code names.
Lazerwave
Not really.
But Saturn's Ring? No connections.
Nevermore
Optimus, Bumblebee and Grimlock all had two different code names:
Optimus Prime redecos from previous lines were "Four Moons" while new toys were "Jupiter".
Bumblebee redecos from previous lines were "Gas Giant" while new toys were "Saturn".
Grimlock redecos from previous lines were "Lunar Eclipse" while his sole new toy (the Knight Armor Turbo Changer) was "Moon".
See what I mean?
Lazerwave
Wasn't Optimus Prime Jupiter?
Nevermore
Again, Drift was Nova, Hound was Super Nova.
Grimlock was Moon, Optimus Prime was Four Moons.
Berserker was Gamma Ray (or "Green Gamma Ray"), Nitro was Gamma Beam Gray.
There is no logical connection between the code names and the characters.
Stinger makes absolutely no sense for this movie line.
Prime135
Ooooooo…what if it's the canceled remove of of AOE bee into stinger. I mean it makes sense, bee is saturn and this is "rings of Saturn".

Hope if fine but wave 4 isn't a garentee so for now hang your hopes on exclusive boxes sets. And a potential 13th deluxe don't hope for to much just something.
Lazerwave
Sorry, I've just taken the whole End of TLK line literally.
I'd be smiling if we found out we are getting a wave 4. But the more I look forward to it, I'm just setting myself to disappointment.
