Leader Class...Bumblebee?

[frenzyrumble]

I just heard from a reliable source (same guy who told me about leader SS)...that along with Leader Starscream will be frikkin Leader Class Bumblebee!

:army:

Pics will come next month or later in September. Neither fig will be available to anyone until early next year. You guys heard it first HERE.

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

How long are they going to be whoring out BB!!!:lube:

I think they should have invested in a leader Blackout or something. Oh well, the kiddies love BB!!

Can't wait for that Screamer!!!

Boooo!!!!

Human Alliance Bumblebee, in addition to being a GREAT figure, is already in scale with the Leader figs (for the most part, anyway).

I'd be willing to bet that it comes off as a hybrid of the HA figure and his fat older brother, "Ultimate" Bumblebee.

I agree with Payton, I think HA BB is in scale with leader class. Why should Hasbro release a leader BB?

hehe, it's like encline said : kids love Bumblebee.
I personally, can't wait to see this. Bumblebee's never gotten the attention and figure he deserves. HA is good - but not great. Ultimate BB is - well... and the Deluxe BBs aren't too movie accurate. If they (Hasbro) can pull off what they did with ROTF leader class Prime with a smaller (but still leader class) Bumblebee, I will be very happy.

True. If they could pull of a leader prime with all the figures that would be great!

An MP Bumblebee would be awesome.

I would have much rather seen a Blackout, Bonecrusher, or even Fallen over a Bumblebee.... but I guess any Leader TFs are good.

[RodimusdawG]

I'm at a loss for words. I guess and at the same time I cringe. I just hope that Optimus doesn't take the back burner for BB. But that is already happening and what not in different aspect of the marketing and movie story.:confused:

[FREED]

Allright FR you know too much. Ill have to report you to NSA and FBI officials...

[Basatan]

No way :lol:

[mampy]

Leader Bumblebee? WTF? He already has a figure in almost EVERY size class (except Voyager) AFAIK. I think there are other characters that would be a better candidate for a Leader figure.

Oh, and Supreme Jetfire please. LOL

[TCracker]

Just wow, another BB? Kids like them but it will be interesting to see whether this will eventually bury Ultimate BB.

[CREG Customs]

Why? I mean, It will look good I'm sure but it will not be in scale with ANY other figures... Oh well.

Me, I want to see a HA Prime. :)

I can see why there's room for a leader Bee in the lineup, but since the HA has gotten so much love, I doubt that now so many folks are thrilled about the news now. I can think of several, in my opinion, characters worthy of a new leader toy (Blackout (or Grindor, I'll call mine Blackout), The Fallen or a retooled Megs akin to Buster OP). Scale will be an issue for quite a few folks, as will the pre-existing HA figure, so I'm curious on how this will be sold to people. What will it offer that hasn't been by the pre-existing figures? HA Bee seems to do most (arguably all with a bit of work), and the big thing a Leader Class toy has, a sound bite...isn't really going to be very good. I'm just going to have to go with the 'it will make Hasbro money' answer. Though I can't be mad at them, I'm still ridding on the high of Voyager Bludgeon.

I doubt it, Hasbro wont make a figure that will be possible competition for their more succesful projects (Leader Optimus) Same reason they wont do a HA ratchet because the deluxe is on the way.

hehe, you can doubt it, but it's fact. my source is right 100% of the time.

I didnt say you your source was wrong, but Somehow, After buying all these toys from hasbro, I just cant believe something like that. but this is the year that Many Awesome (unbelievable) Figures came out.. so I maybe talking nonsense here. :confused:

[Solrac333]

A little off topic, has anyone tried modifying the hell out of the "Ultimate" Bumblebee and actually making that an ULTIMATE Bumblebee?
