Via friend site and sponsor Dorkside Toys we have our first look at the upcoming Transformers War For Cybertron Buzzworthy Bumblebee 2-Pack (Bumblebee & Spike).
This pack is sure an unexpected surprise. The packaging just features the “War For Cybertron Trilogy” logo, and there is a curious mix of art style with a G1 styled Bumblebee on top of the card and an Evergreen/Cyberverse Bumblebee face in the lower left corner.
The figure is a new design with a head closer to his original G1 design but with a generic car mode. There’s no indication of the size, but it seems to be a simple and small figure (Core class maybe?). Spike is an even smaller figurine molded after his exo-suit which can “transform” into a vehicle mode. We still have no concrete information on price or release date, but stay tuned with TFW2005 for more updates.

…a Chernobyl joke? Yeah, I wouldn't laugh at it anyway.

He's delusional, take him to the infirmary!

Didn't get the joke…
You DIDN'T! Because IT'S! NOT! THERE!
Got the joke.

But that's as high as the dosimeter goes-

Yeah, not quite a 4.0 out of 5. I think the problem is he's not a bad figure, he's a not great Bumblebee figure. Bumblejumper would've been a much better use of this mold. (Although someone would've complained that he was Deluxe sized, so Has/Tak can't win either way really.)

So 3.6, then?

Got one of these weeks ago when Target was having a discount sale. It's not terrible. It's not great, but it's not terrible. It's tiny, though. I'm impressed that they packed so much articulation into something so small. I personally think he has a better face than the Netflix Deluxe.
…wonder if I could swap heads…

This thing actually was buzzworthy, as it was the thing that revealed this line. How fitting.

Has ANYONE made a custom Bumper head for this guy?

Saw this set today, and in person this Bee doesn't look too bad at all.
Unfortunately he isn't worth anywhere near $15 to me though, so I'll wait and see if he ever gets in the clearance aisle.

opened up mine the other day…
amazing how tiny BB is in car mode…almost as small as his original G1 self…
spike would have benefitted from…something else…either a face or more than just folding his backpack to transform…

Have you watched beast wars? The g1 characters tower over the beast war guys, bw megatron was the size of g1 primes head

What's weird about Buzzworthy Core Bumblebee is that he scales better with Earthrise Optimus per the Sunbow chart.
Fenrys
The core class outside of the beast wars characters is it's own scale that doesn't relate to the Kingdom BW figures at all, it's tied to the ark titan
Philo
Picked up a Core Class sized Bumblebee with Exo Spike today at Target. He\'s a little smaller than Core Class Optimus Prime which make sense since the Core Class are supposed to be (or at least close to) size accurate compared to the Beast War bots in the Kingdom line.

Hasn't come out yet. He is an exclusive to target as is all the buzzworthy line. The movie figures have already been sighted.
faciov42
