Via @maddie_is__gone on Instagram we have our first in-hand images of the new Transfomers Legacy Evolution Deluxe Bombshell for your viewing pleasure.
We have clear images of Bombshell in robot mode showing his poseability and his G1-accurate deco. We also have a glimpse of his rhinoceros beetle mode.
Update: Additional in-hand images and better look at Bomshell bng mode thanks to ze collecter.
See the images after the break and then join to the ongoing discussion o the 2005 Boards!

Skywasp can be used as Parasite from the Waruders, add him to the group!

I'm sorry, but from the angle and the shadows, Bombshell just looks depressed. He probably just figured out he's a cheap retool.

It’s not clean but I’ve got all of the released Insecticons in front of me.

Any clean pictures of all 3 together?
AtomicGarden
I don’t know. I don’t think anyone tried to research which batch numbers were affected (like there was a Motormaster thread). By the looks of it, the first batch of Shrapnel were fine and later on we started to see the yellowed ones and then Shrapnel went M.I.A

I preordered mine from Pulse immediately when it went up. I have no yellowing whatsoever. Not sure how this factors into figuring out affected batches or whatnot.
AtomicGarden
The more I see of those yellowed Shrapnel, the more I’m 100% convinced they stopped production at some point when they noticed something was wrong. That’s why he’s so hard to find and why most stores still haven’t received their preorders yet, while they got the rest of the wave. Some of them claim they won’t receive Shrapnel until November at best.
Neko-bot77
Nope, despite them being teased in the Evolution box art.
I assume they will show up eventually. They can be done more or less as retools of the main 3 bugs. Hell, if even Bombshell is a retool, why not do the rest of the bugs?
Thundershot
No.

Has there been any word on continuing the Deluxe Insecticons or the Insecticons in their original Diaclone Waruder colors?
Vanya
I'm definitely going to upgrading the hell out of mine when I actually find one.
TF Hot Rod
That is a bit off putting but really it’s the fact that 2 of the 3 are new mold while one is a retool if I where to guess.
DubV
It’s that giant safety helmet noggin cover of his.
Pixelmaster
He just feels wrong— the toy definition of the deja vu scene in the matrix

Even with a light gray chest I think they still would look good since all three have a lot of dark gray in the cartoon.
DubV
Won’t yellow though. Gotta give it a point for that.
TF Hot Rod
The purple just looks better and pops more imo. And actually matches the team look.
I’d be disappointing if the robot mode switched to grey, because then you limit the other options and also easy repaint $$$. Plus with Hasbro’s budget I just know it’d make something suffer as a result.

We are getting a commander priced Ultra Magnus. Keep going with the toon accuracy until it doesn't sell.

I just got my Shrapnel (sadly the antlers are badly yellowing), but I’m so close to getting this trio together. Just missing Bombshell!View attachment 30049792 View attachment 30049793
They look so good together.

You guys remind me of the users I have to code for. "Just do the thing I ask at the price I want in the time frame I demand. How hard could it be?"
It's obnoxious.
