See the images below.

Frig, I hate to say this about a repaint, but BB may have to be bought twice!?!

The bot mode is so-so although I like the head, However the Alt especialy with the package backround...

...dam, thats porn-tastic!

Salvage I know has been a recent fan favorite, but for me, I'm sorry, it's a pass.

Still, if these are the official pics, I can't help but wonder if something like the warp in that front fender will lead to future problems?

Good Eye!

I'd like to see a clear shot of BBs black logo on the AS blue.

Wow.

Has anybody else noticed that Bumblebee has something that looks like Cybertronian next to the wheel arch. It's very small and in white but it's there.

So now we have 08 BB, Stealth BB and Cliffjumper, correct? Wonder which one of those would make the best Bugbite…

I'd do it if the mold is good enough. Beast Machines' deluxe-class Jetstorm figure was an example of this. I've bought all 5 decos I know about of this mold, and while repaints often get old fast I would get more of this mold if they're produced.

I might pick up this version of Bumblebee if I see it.

By these photos I've gotta say I'm glad I haven't picked up Dropkick yet. I'd rather have Salvage and pass on Dropkick.

Stealth Bumblebee looks nice and with the new face looks even cooler. Though I would get rid of all the yellow.

Salvage looks nice but the legs are too thin/"chicken like". Loving the "Sparkplug and Son" plug. Nice detail.

hmmm...
Dropkick looked like a purple mantis.
this guy looks like a cock-a-roach.
I'll probably just display him in vehicle mode then.
Stealth Bumblebee is sex.

Or is he talking about that inverted Y shape in the paint flaws?

Realy, it does look like BB is ready to have all that black just flake off.

For "Official" pics, that doesn't boad well.

Hmmm. I found this entire wave of transformers about 3 weeks ago somewhere on the net but I didn't post it. I might post it in a sec

Bumblebee 'the stealth version' is a must buy. I really like the colors like that. In fact if they sport those colors on a real life version, I might have to seriously consider...

I am not a big fan of solid reds on figures, but I will have to get Salvage just for his incredibly smart advertising. :grin:

wow. these images are very convincing. extreme detail exposure makes them look much better.
salvage is one of the repaints that look better than the original (c'mon, a gigantic Con symbol on the hood and roof?).
Why couldn't they just make a head that would come with the battle mask? So that it can be slided up and down.

These are both insta-buys for me!

Salvage will need some touch up paint, but they both liik great. :APPLAUSE: :APPLAUSE:
