Via an eBay listing we have our first stock images of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Bumbleswoop (Bumblebee & Swoop) 2-Pack.
This figure is a re-release of the Cyberverse Roll & Combine wave 1 Bumblebee & Dinobot Swoop/Bumbleswoop toys now in Buzzworthy Bumblebee packaging. It’s still unknown if the other two Roll & Combine 2-packs (Megatron & Slug/Slugtron and Wheeljack & Grimlock/Wheelgrim) will also be re-released.
See the new stock images after the break and share your impressions on the 2005 Boards.

Nope
The bot mode deco for Studio Series 15 is slightly different than Studio Series 1. Studio Series 15BB's bot mode has the same deco as Studio Series 15. Stripes were added to Studio Series 15BB's car mode. Also the trunk stripes that were added to Studio Series 15BB are slightly different than the ones on Studio Series 1. Oddly though they gave Studio Series 15BB Studio Series 1's hands which are unpainted
(I have every version of the Studio Series 70's Camaro mold)
Oh and they added a roof pin to Studio Series 15BB which was first included on Studio Series 27
Nevermore
They took Studio Series 1 Bumblebee and paired him with the Charlie figure from the Studio Series 15 set.

I got this when the original came out. Great, quirky pair of fun fugures designed for kinetic play patterns. My only complaint is the price.
JJJ
You certainly can. Here in Australia they have just returned to the shelves (in the old pattern packaging), and I picked one up for AUD $25 (being one of those people who waited patiently for a proper Swoop in Cyberverse).

Sludge, Thunderhowl, Clobber, Volcanicus, and depending on store the Arcee deluxe reissue wave (with Slug) are still available in stores now.

Buzzworthy Studio Series 15 had black stripes on the car mode. the regular Studio Series 15 was plain yellow
DaveWire
Yeah… looked into those. Wheeljack looks nothing like Cyberverse Wheeljack. Slug looks nothing like Cyberverse Slug. Grimlock’s kinda close. Bumblebee and Megatron just use their Evergreen designs, so again, generic. Hell, since it’s Evergreen, you could have just slapped Earthspark onto the Bumblebee and claimed it’s for the new show. They’ve clearly already done that with other toys. So as far as I’m concerned, that’s just a generic Evergreen Swoop that was made as a simple gimmicky kids toy so it was thrown into the Cyberverse branding with the rest of the kiddy toys that use those designs.
Q Prime
No, but the design of Bumblebee and the figures included with the other roll and combine sets were all based off of the Cyberverse designs for those characters. A fairly traditional gimmick figure, like the Cyberverse Spark and Energon armours or the RID Crash Combiners.
TLDR; Not technically in the show, but not out of the ordinary, and certainly not a case of it getting weirder as the show went on (not that these sorts of gimmick figures were exclusive to Cyberverse).
DaveWire
Did Bumbleswoop appear in the show?
Q Prime
Everything in the Cyberverse toyline was/is in some way related to the Cyberverse show. Smash Changer Optimus is literally the only exception. I can't disagree with you on Buzzworthy veering way off course though.
DaveWire
But Cyberverse doesn’t mean anything more than the “children’s toy line”. Nothing in that line makes sense or even has to do with the show much anymore. And the Buzzworthy line has less and less to do with Bumblebee.
For instance:

Seeing as it's a repack of a Cyberverse 2-pack, it's Cyberverse Swoop. The reason Swoop looks drastically different is that thw concept art the figure was based on was male, while the show crew adapted that design into a Fembot. Aside from the head and proportions, most of the details should line up.
WishfulThinking
Another shot for Cyberverse Swoop plus another Bumblebee. Makes sense. Although it was the Grimlock/Wheeljack set that was the hardest to find.
These guys are fun for what they are. As far as good modern action figures, they mostly fail. But for G1esque brick formers with lots of play value, they work.

Ikr I wish hasbro put more effort in their cartoon lines, the last one they did was prime and that was 10 years ago…
Ractonite
This set shelfwarmed pretty hard. There are plenty of good releases in the cyberverse line and they reissued this one
BB Shockwave
Pretty sad this is the closest thing to a Cyberverse Swoop we ever got.
troglodyteman217
what even are these
Battle eRector
These are all available at Kmart in Australia. I didn't know there was any market for them so no photo taken.

This is such a cool figure set I would have loved it as a kid, of course my massive fanboy bias for Duocons and Multiforce most certainly plays into this opinion.
