Coming to us via PrimeVsPrime on Youtube, we have our first set of in-hand images of the upcoming Buzzworthy Bumblebee BB-95 N.E.S.T. Bonecrusher.
This figure is basically a black and dark gray redeco of the original Studio Series SS-33 Voyager Bonecrusher from 2019. This deco matches the one used in the Studio Series N.E.S.T Bumblebee, even featuring a N.E.S.T Autobot insignia, but with a subtle “All Hail Megatron” logo on each side of the vehicle mode. We also comparison shots with the original SS Bonecrusher as well as other Studio Series figures. This figure will be released as a Target exclusive in the US market.
Check all the images after the jump, as well as PrimevsPrime review, and then let us know if your impressions on the 2005

just realised that nest ratchet looks a bunch like an old digibash i made!
Digibash: – SS N.E.S.T Ratchet Digibash

It's really not; it's surprisingly straightforward for how much the shapes and proportions change.

I wonder what's taking em so long. The money is there just waiting to being taken…

Im truly surprised studio series hasnt had any sort of Gen Selects type line. Theres hundreds of repaints they could do. Off the top of my head there's the gold Sentinel, Volleybot, any number of Constructicon repaints, Cliffjumper, more primes, characters from the games. theres tons. Gold Sentinel is by far the top of my wishlist though
AutobotJazz1
For Jetfire I don't think that would work personally. I'd have to see it to truly decide. As for Sentinel, I'm actually surprised we haven't gotten a gold color scheme yet now.
Joltenheim
What if for Jetfire they used a subtle green like the NEST bee? it would look nice considering his SG incarnation
I wouldn't mind a gold Sentinel but I think it should be a mainline release since it doesnt really fit the Nest aesthetic and that mold is super hard to find as is
AutobotJazz1
Maybe they could do that concept art gold for Sentinel? Wasn't there a Ultra Magnus scheme as well? As for Jetfire maybe just a blacker scheme?
Joltenheim
For Sentinel, I thought a nice navy blue would work very well. I think it's a nice homage to not only his Animated incarnation but also Ultra Magnus, Sentinel Prime's original name.
For Jetfire Im not as sure. He's very monochrome already which makes it difficult.
AutobotJazz1
What colors would Sentinel and Jetfire be?
Joltenheim
They should have the NEST line be specifically military/service vehicles I think
thats why Bonecrusher, Ratchet, and Jeep Bee work as a perfect start. The TF: The Ride Megatron fits here too.
other molds that could be used:
Starscream
Brawl
Jetfire
Grindor/Blackout
KSI Boss/Thundercracker
Helicopter Dropkick
Jet Shatter
Barricade
Blitzwing
WWII Bumblebee/Hot Rod
Helicopter Drift
Sentinel Prime(PLEASE DO SENTINEL)

Wow was not expecting that to work as well as it does. SS repaints have got me hyped for Nightwatch SS OP.
TF Hot Rod
No, cause it goes against the overall theme of why this exists.
Blot
That's Conebrusher (aka Crushboner).
TFW2023
Could they have made it a bit bigger ?
Raiyuki
The unpainted wheels kinda bug me seeing next to normal Bonecrusher (which it normally doesn't but the rims matching the body would work well here too). Otherwise though I like these colors on the mold.
TF Hot Rod
He does.

He should have been Decepticon insignia not an Autobot insignia
TF Hot Rod
Nice.
Your welcome and trust me I get it, we are some of our worst critics.

Yeah the blue looks weird to me as well. Maybe for a new character. Steelhead? Ironsteel?
Thanks for liking the digi. I personally don't like it but I'm glad others do.
Edit: Autocorrect came up with a better name. I meant Steelhide.
TF Hot Rod
I'm probably gonna get crap for this but IDK why Ironhide in blue just looks weird to me.
This is a hot take but I prefer your digibash NEST Ironhide over the actual release.
