When The Hub was first introduced to us, only Transformers: Prime - Bumblebee's upper proportions were revealed. Thanks to Hisstank member gunslingercbr, we get to see the fully figured Bumblebee, along with other characters of Hasbro's property. The pictures were taken at Hasbro's Booth at the Licensing Expo. Check it out below.

Can't say I'm too thrilled at the overall look but I'll keep an open mind, after all despite the art style, Animated pleased many fans.

Hm, pretty cool.

And what's this? Snake Eyes?! New G.I.Joe series perhaps? :shock:

Yep, G.I.Joe Renegades was announced a few weeks ago about the same time as TF: Prime

Not bad. Vaguely movie-esque, but cleaned up with smooth shapes and unique in it's own right. Sorta like the face lift they gave G1 in Ongoing, but with a less ugly face. I'd like to see where this goes with other characters. They can only pull the "face plate" so many times.

Hmm, interesting. I wonder what the premise will be, especially with a name like "Renegades". Rogue G.I.Joe operatives perhaps? I wonder who would voice Cobra Commander (assuming he's in the show)? Would be great if it was Charlie Adler, I love his Cobra Commander/Starscream voice!

When I look at that Bumblebutt I just feel like the designers smoked a lot of pot, watched the TransFormers live action movies, the entire run of Animated & Gurren Lagann and decided to rip 'em all of. Just my view.

I actually really like the design. It takes all the cooler features of the movie bots but gets rid of all the bug like features. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

I have no idea if the Gi Joe series will be any good, but Snake Eyes looks like sh*t.

Snake Eyes looks like he needs to hit the gym.

i do think that the design of bb looks good, but i'm a bit on the fence here. but i am willing to give it a chance. plus snake eyes looks like he's from the spectacular spiderman cartooon, and oh my god a living truck! kill it before it kills us all, and kenny.

Think of the Paris Op in ROC. Let go from Government control, on the run while still going after Cobra.

I am not impressed At all I feel like i am being alienated on two fronts, both transformers and JOES suck... Ugh I was hoping it would be G1 feeling oh well. It looks like most of my transformers purchase will be perfect effect and fans project in the future... it is real depressing now that i think about it. :BOOM:

Ah, okay. Thanks for the insight there. That part after Ripcord took out the missile and landed in front of the White House only to be arrested again made me laugh. :lol:

Bumblebee looks interesting kinda digg the design.

I think Snakeeyes looks like a teen, kinda makes sense. I'm looking forward to this series.

Looks like they are using almost the same artwork for Snake Eyes as in Animated. Animated GI Joe perhaps.
Oh well, I'm glad I'm not too fond of how these Transformers looks of that series.
I guess 3rd companies understand us G1 fans better. Saving my money to spend on them rather than Hasbro.
I'd only wish Takara-Tomy would hurry up with the Masterpiece releases. It seems that it is taking forever, especially because of the last 2 repaints MP's. I want MP Soundwave bad after I purchased the audio player version (if they decide to produce him).

Why the talk of 3rd party companies in this thread?

Of course those guys make stuff for fans, it's their whole point.

This show is to tie in with Hasbro and we know their bit is to sell toys to kids not collectors. We don't half to like it, or support it, but if kids (and/or their parents) buy the associated toyline then Hasbro is justified in doing what they want. They own the franchise, not fans after all.

Ooooh! A new doggy cartoon!

News Credits: 37 · by **SlyTF1** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 2:21 pm

My eyes!!! My eyes!!! :shock:

Naw, it just looks way too much like movie Bumblebee. The art looks stupid (more stupid than when I first saw Animated.) But like Animated, I hope it turns out to be THE best (yeah, I said THE) Tf show ever. It also looks kind of like theyre gonna be focusing on the real war this time, it looks like hes over armored or some crap like that.

Bumblebee doesn't look that bad considering it's basically the movie design, but Snake Eyes is awesome! Hope the new Joe toon is like Resolute. And some toys coming out in the UK would be nice too, Hasbro.

That Bumblebee reminds me a lot the word Protoss

. Is it just me or does it really look like a Protoss from Starcraft? It always reminds me that when I look at it.

I like it. Better than then Animated "style".

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 3:15 pm

Well, all we need to see now is Optimus Prime and Megatron, possibly Starscream, and we'll be good. :lol:

Well they won't miss you. They could easily afford to have the entire collector's community quit buying their products and still make plenty. I've said it before, with the bunch of whiners that fans tend to be, it's a miracle they do ANYTHING for us at all. Who knows? We keep crying and pouting, they may just stop anyways.

I like the sleekness of this version of BB. It almost looks like a cross between Animated and the Movie version. I will be interested in seeing what the toys look like. I have a feeling there will be a lot of difficulty in getting a truly show accurate line, just from what I'm seeing here.

Is Snake-eyes wearing those pants that Lloyd Bridges wore in the first Hot Shots movie?? Those are the baggiest fatigues I've ever seen.
