Thanks to In Demand Toys we can share for you new stock images of the upcoming Transformers EarthSpark Deluxe Class Wave 1 & 2.
We have clear images of the packaging and both modes of each toy as well as the included part on each one to complete the build-a-figure Mandroid toy. Only figure missing is Wave 2 Optimus Prime.
- EarthSpark Deluxe Wave 1 Bumblebee
- EarthSpark Deluxe Wave 1 Megatron
- EarthSpark Deluxe Wave 1 Terran Twitch
- EarthSpark Deluxe Wave 2 Shockwave (Cyberverse Shockwave redeco)
The new packaging images let us see that all of them are labeled as “plastic free packaging” and the back of the boxes show the three new characters that complete this build-a-figure set and that may appear in the cartoon. We won’t spoil the fun, so see all the images after the break and then sound off on the 2005 Boards!

Got Twitch today from Pulse. Getting her into alt mode is a pain, so many tabs that refuse to stay in.

It was a mixed bag but yes the warriors are pretty good. Still want Bludgeon

I’d say that cyberverse was way worse for most of it’s life

Wdym? Rid 15 warriors weren't that bad. Basically simpler deluxes and didn't have any gimmicks that compromised them. The 1 step changers were certainly weird but for kids they were cool, same for those 3 step changers. The "titan" changers were definitely awful I will give you that. Otherwise the toy line was decent and the show was bad.

You could do Trip-Up from the Hot Rod Patrol.

Slowly but surely the children aimed toys are becoming as high quality as modern generations again after the dumpster fire known as RID 2015

New show. You haven’t heard?

Is this one of those that are actually cheaper prices than the Deluxe? If so, less of an investment if you feel like buying it to, say, cut up and paint, see what you can do.
I wouldn't want to buy a deluxe, say, of a character I actually liked and would like to display, keep, etc. With this, it'd be tempting to take it fully apart, dunk the plastic in thinner, and see if it can be improved.
Unlike others, I don't think the wide shoulders and door-like wings ruin the figure. It's a stylistic improvement, I think, to the typical bumblebees that look like a figure dragging a peeled car chassis around like Tom Green wearing a deer corpse.
BB Shockwave
The doors being on his shoulders – and the shoulders being the car hood – is just a really terrible engineering. Besides, he looks so much like Cyberverse Bee I feel I do not really need him.

Like his car mode paint it black have batmobile from the Batman for Batman fan
Burnout
I kinda like this one.
MrLemming
Yeah, Bee's a pass for me on this set. He's not bad or anything from the front, but wow that's a lot of void from the back. Legs are understandable because of the transformation, but the feet? The back of his shoulders? And while the doors being on his shoulders obviously won't hinder articulation, it's gonna look really odd if you get him into a raised fist pose and have a door sitting on the front of his arm suddenly.

Goddamn that Bumblebee is actually really fucking awesome. I gotta get me one.
setsuna
Trying to think of custom possibilities to give myself a reaason to buy this toy. Only thing I can think of is Drift? Don\'t really need another Drift in my collection. Thoughts?
Afterburner
Head is better again. Other than that, he sucks as a Bumblebee.
f-primusunicron
the way the legs are in car mode is what ruins it
GrimCharr
I feel the same way.
The figure has some character. I don't mind the corners cut, say, with some of the ball joints. Because they use it well. More angles than a cheaper, Cyberverse block that eventually get stepped on or lost in the snow. But the deco of the wheels and the paint look cheap. But that's not a dealbreaker.
The thing I don't really like looking at this is the shellforming. That's a bit of a cheat that makes it less of a Transformer. In which case I'd compare it to other action figures for the same price.

That's understandable; the MP line frustrates me with the invent complex transformations. I bought MP Sideswipe because he's one of my favorites, but the Kingdom version buries it. I feel like the WFC line is great at balancing simple/element transportations with impressive toy features like expressive posing. I also feel that biology teaches us that simplicity is better for necessary functions.
SPLIT LIP
The robot mode is pretty generic modern Bee, but the alt mode is awesome. That's one of the more interesting sportscar Bees.
