The official Robosen Instagram account have shared our first look a their G1 Bumblebee robot.
The image was shared via a recent Instagram story and it’s taken from the Middle East Film & Comic Con 2023 event. We can see a very cartoon-accurate G1 Bumblebee robot on display. It’s good to remark that this seems to be a non-transformable figure, but a self articulating action figure. We do know that Robosen had already registered the patent for this figure some months ago.
We still have no additional details about this new robot, but stay tuned with this space for more updates. See the first images after the jump and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Best price I have seen this for it in the uk or importing it to the uk ( there would be a customs charge importing which won't be as much as I was stung for with prime but you would still get stung and any savings you though you had you wouldn't ) £150 off so £299.99 ! roboson are running a promotion with 20% off "prime20" at the moment and even that is only is only £90 off £450 … .I am weak and just bought it! own the v2 prime and have grimlock on pre order … looks like I am in now

Just saw the japanese version of it or rather Bumble version of it.

From the sounds of a few live interviews I heard… Robosen may have go down a couple different roads… depends on which non transforming Robosen sells better..
I.e. the newer movie Prime or Bumblebee… also depending how well this line sells.
From what I can tell they have the following lines:
Depending on which character and lines sell well they will continue.
Assuming this hypothesis is accurate I can imagine and hope Robosen releasing:
this is ALL just speculating.

Yeah if they were going to make one that didn't transform Megatron would have been a better bet.
Despite myself being a Geewuner I gotta say I'm kinda surprised they made a Bumblebee that looks like the cartoon character and didn't go for the movieverse aesthetic — I would have thought there would have been a wider market for that.
Though I personally want a dancing Soundwave that doubles as a smart speaker. They could easily retool it into Blaster too.

maybe it was more a matter of not being able to squeeze motorized legs and arms into such a compact design and be able to do all the stuff that Prime does

I refuse to believe they need a license to transform into this:
VVa
Action figures exist.

This company won\'t even answer their support messages. I got the Prime and will no longer buy anymore.

Prime version looks better this is good cheap alternative

If this looked like the cartoon I’d probably have bitten. It’s neat, but it doesn’t hit the right notes for my mental image to justify it.

When in gods green earth did this happen or was announced??

I'm glad I don't like the proportions or face sculpt, because otherwise I'd probably be all over this expensive nonsense.

I have to wonder if VW didn\'t give the okay to the license, hence the non-transforming which would have put this toy into a whole nother level of fun…
that said, the failed transformation attempt gave me a chuckle…
and he and Prime can do a true Jane Fonda style workout next to each other…

Seems to me that most of the fun of these things is the transformation

It’s mainly aimed at adult collectors, if parents decide to pay $400 for a 1980’s non-transforming Transformer for their kid, that’s on them. But I would hesitate to say that that’s the market in mind.

Yeah. I don’t need a dancing transformer.
I get that Prime may be an easier robot to make it transform (IMHO) but still, this is the #1 appeal for me when it comes to these things, they need to transform.
