I want Battle Blade Bumblebee and I don't know why.

Money, violence, sex, computer graphics, scatalogical humor, racism, robots designed to be rednecks but given European accents, and maybe another sequel to the saga... what's not to love? TF m1, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and now Age of Extinction.

I want Battle Blade Bumblebee and I don't know why.

Post by Onslaught Six »

Okay, I do know why--he's the best NewBee figure I've ever seen. He's got two kickass weapons! They both fold away! He's got the battle mask, and it folds up to have his head! He's got 'both grey and black on him,' which I think makes his robot bits stand out a lot more. He doesn't have the roof bits hanging off his arms. He's still got transluscent windows! And I can't tell but I think even his thighs are new. Maybe even his entire legs? He might be an 'entirely new figure' even.

...But I hate MooBee! He's almost everything that's wrong about the movies.

But I still want this toy.

I like movie Bee, but he's just been overpromoted and over-figured. Still, it's not like I don't already have five variations of the figure (old Camaro, new Camaro, stealth BB, Cliffjumper, Legends old Camaro), so what's one more? I might have to check BBB out too.

I only own the original NewBee. Not even OldBee! He looked sucky.

I've only got the regular and Stealth versions of the NewBee mold, though I might pick up a third if I wind up getting that NEST pack. I don't have any hate for MovieBee, and I feel like I might be overdue for a new Deluxe version, so I'll likely pick up Triple-B when I see him.

They really didn't need to make him though. After HA Bumblebee, they could've just stopped making Movie Bumblebee toys. They weren't going to get any better than that.

I tend to agree with Anderson. Movie BB is over-produced, but not inherently bad otherwise. I actually like Old-B a bit better than New-B though.

For the record:
-retro BB
-modern BB
-stealth BB
-Cliffjumper
-Legends modern BB

I may have to check out this new version. I have oldbee and newbee (ROTF flavor). At one point I had those as well as Movie1newbee, Stealthbee, cliffjumper, cannonbee and HAbee. I kept 2 and sold the rest. And I really don't miss them. Especially cannonbee. Skip it, it sucks.

Muhhh. Terri is adamant that I will not own this Bee, because I have too many Bees. And I really kinda do. Despite not giving a crap about the movie character, I've amassed a ton of them.

- Legends OldBee
- Battle-damaged Legends OldBee
- Japanese OldBee
- NewBee
- Premium NewBee
- StealthBee
- UltimateBee
- Human Alliance Bee
- Clear Windows CannonBee

And I swear there's more.

Still, this one's axe and gun and new transformation intrigue. I'll buy him. Sale purchase, but I'm a sucker for awesome weapons. At least they're keeping it fresh-ish.

Hey, at least you avoided the Fast Action Battler Bees. Hell, I fell for one of those.

Of Movie 'Bee, all I've got right now is:
First Movie NewBee
Legends NewBee from that Target set...

Wow, and that's it. I sold OldBee and FABee, Legends OldBee, and the 'Bee mask from the first DVD. Still, with Animated and Classics Bumblebees figured in, I still have a decent swarm of 'em going.

There's probably others but that's all I can remember now.
