It was announced at SDCC. We have known and had official images for it since July.

I meant, FULLY announced. With the price and all.
Because so far, no one know for how much the damn thing will cost in the USA.
I just want to know by how much I overpaid (given the Canadian trend for so many exclusives), or if the prices are relatively balanced between both countries.

I believe it was either $39.99 or $41.99.
It's been available at retail in both Southeast Asia and Australia for quite a while now:-Kanrabat- wrote:Thanks for the feature!

Note: Not my pic.
The big boots were a key feature of Animated Bumblebee's silhouette. They were even based on the feet of G1 Bumblebee, which were made from the front bumper area of his own original toy, a toy that also had big boots. So the original feet were already a G1 homage. Hasbro's attempt to G1-ify the feet here results in eliminating something that was already G1-based.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And what were once the front feet on the original design are now the heels of this design, with new tinier feet replacing them.
That's just a small detail.

In fact, checking the wiki real quick, a vast majority of new-mold G1 Bumblebee toys ( and all of their redecos/retools) made since the original Classics mold in 2006 have all had big boots:-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The big boots were a key feature of Animated Bumblebee's silhouette.

Thinking about it, that's an odd choice.
Also, the way the thing are built, I don't think the feet can rotate. That's unfortunate.

I searched around to see if anyone had any more interesting combinations, and I found nothing.
So I tinkered a bit, and came up with this, completely unofficial, but improved (In my opinion) Junkasaurus.
I used a Trashmaster, an Axlegrease, and a Scraphook, along with all of their components.
If anyone has any other cool Junkions combos, I'd love to see them! (I still have yet to find any really good 'Evo-Fusion' ideas for Trashmaster's parts, other than just swapping out the trucks front end)
