Its going to be the 7th use of that basic mold.

You forgot the Target exclusive Allspark repaint, so it’s the eighth actually. :wink:

I'll probably pass on this, it's just not different enough for me. I hope the ROTF line doesnt repaint the entire first movie cast.

Totally will. They repainted the whole line in the first line, so I'm sure they will do it again.

It'll still get bought.

Good point. I'll need better pics if I'm to pass better judgement.

The original Concept Camaro Bumblebee mold is pretty well perfect anyway - they couldn't really improve on it much. The new head and colours only help to make it more movie accurate... and Hasbro isn't putting a gun to your head and forcing you to buy

Hopefully, they won't do the same with the other toys of returning characters. The Bumblebee toy was great enough the first time, but I think (for screen accuracy's sake) Ratchet, Ironhide and *especially* Starscream could all use entirely new molds.

I love what they did with the mold. I myself don't mind the typical Hasbro missle; the color of it is film-accurate, and it adds to the look of the toy in an interesting way. With what we are seeing with Soundwave & Bumblebee, I would love to see a Leader Class Starscream... as big as that F-22 would be, I think none of us would mind; no missle-hands!

I really like the new head sculpt, but I have like 5 movie BBs already.

I'll get him when I see him on sale.

Looking into my/our options ...

News Credits: 3557 · by **Seibertron** » Sat Nov 29, 2008 5:07 am

I don't think tf08.net stole my photos. They took the photo they used from http://78dm.net/01movie/movie.htm, which apparently has stolen TONS of my photos. Do you guys have any way to contact the folks at 78dm.net? That's who we need to contact to put a stop to stealing my photos. Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Those arn't just tons of pics those are your Galleries!
Actually this is a good thing as some of your galleries disappeared in the board crash we now have a source to get them from!

Looks the same as the first version. I was hoping they would improve on it by making a more accurate head or by at least doing some extra paint aps on the helmet and teh face.

Cheapass Hasbro.

Those galleries are defintely NOT my galleries in their entirety. But regardless, I don't like that they are stealing so many photos from my website. Pretty bogus if you ask me. I don't mind people using images from my galleries ... that's what they're there for. I just don't like them reproducing all of my galleries in the format that they are doing.

Wow. If this is what they plan to do with all the characters from the first movie, someone's head is going to roll for this colossal effing up of the most golden opportunity to make money this franchise has and will probably ever have. Seriously, Hasbro, To Sell Toys. Isn't it in a motivational poster in everyone's cubicle?

From top to bottom, from the toys to Michael Bay's ego-fueled "vision", this franchise is 100% an exercise in commercialism. I can't believe more of you aren't upset that you're treated as cash dispensers by these heartless executives.

Okay, we're not allowed to use their pics but the took a pic of Ryan's from the movie Bumblebee gallery for comparison, then photoshop out the Seibertron.com logo?!!!

Another BB. Great to see. Let's hope all the other Movie Screen Autobots get improvements.

ok so? This is nothing new nearly every company treats the public this way. Nobody said you have to buy the 8 bumblebees that were made. Some like the character Bumblebee and want all the figures what's the problem with that? Hasbro is just trying to make money and kids like bumblebee so that's why they milk the franchise for all it's worth. That's just the way things are. They can't afford to make a new bumblebee everytime so they make repaint no yes that does get annoying but some people like them so that's why hasbro makes em. Don't like em don't buy em simple as that.

not surprised at this outcome, I will be passing on any molds that were out for the first movie, I dont see any reason to have multiple slightly different versions of the same mold.

I dont collect starwars, either way, the revenge of the fallen line should be easy on my wallet
