It looks like FC Toys has posted some images of the upcoming Deluxe figures Bumblebee (2008 Camaro version) and Arcee. The images show the front of the card with the mugshots of the characters, as well as the back with photos of the toy and character profile.

The pics are mirrored in a thread by littleiron at TFW2005, which you can see by clicking here

It isn't transformed correctly. We have seen pics of the chest peice broken down more accurately.

Still want that bumblebee.

Excellent! '08 Bumblebee doesn't suffer from Jazz Syndrome! (The weapon actually stows inside the vehicle mode, instead of strapping to it. Yay!)

BB is sweet cant wait to find him. Arcee is ok. All she really is is a remold of the energon design. I may get it just to have another female transformer. But Arcee is a hunter now? wasnt she a gunner or a pilot in G1?

Arcee is more than a simple remold. For one she was a basic in Energon. Plus they already did a repaint of the Energon Basic for this line. No this is a completely new mold.

I love the 'keeps his plasma cannon dry' part. I hope Arcee is in the next movie.

I hope not. At least not without an overhaul. That's just a disturbing look she has.

Why the heck is Arcee's head all uneven? I freakin' hate it!

Worst bio ever!

Did I miss something in my days of watching TF as a child. Would a highly evolved, intellengent civilization that require no "food" for sustanance hunt for sport???

I guess the english lettering answers my question as to if Arcee and the others will be Japan Exclusives or will they have a wide spread release!

Posted by Sonray on June 6th, 2007 @ 7:04pm CDT

Oh yes, i have to add this version of BB to my collection as well! I love his bio, gives him great character depth. Dont like Arcee though...why the feck do they keep making her as a bike?

Why doesn Siebertron have galleries of this new BB?

well i suppose we all know that Arcee wont be in the second movie. if she was, then they wouldnt have released the toy yet.

Or, the greatest preview figure ever...three years in advance!

The robot mode of 08 Bumblebee is just so much better than his '74 counterpart. Kind of makes you wonder why they bothered with the older version toy since it is so plainly horrible in comparison.

Re: 08 Camaro Bumblebee and Deluxe Arcee In-Package (151970)
Posted by Koloth on June 6th, 2007 @ 7:57pm CDT

They bothered because it is in the movie and people would and have bought it. And now those same people can give Hasbro even more money for the new mold.

I was hoping that BB's package would say more than his name to identify him as the new '08 version (besides his bio that is). I'll just have to pay extra attnetion to the figure inside the package when looking for him.

Oh I wouldn't worry. There's an extensive difference between the two figures. You can't miss him.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. I guess I should rephrase my earlier statement. I'll be able to realize it's a different figure, but parents (and some kids) will not. In short, bad marketing on Hasbro's part.

Hadn't thought of that, but you're right. Imagine some kid's disappointment on his birthday when he asked for the '08 verison but mom can't tell the difference so he gets the '77 version instead.

Hmm, tempting for that 08 BB. Looks damn fine. But I have CL BB. I only wanted 1 BB. I was only gonna get Blackout. Now I added Barricade and possible 08 BB. WHY CAN'T I STOP BEING ADDICTED TO THE PLASTIC CRACK!!!!!! :sad:

Arcee still fails, but that Camaro is made of pure WIN and sex.

Bumblebee V2 I still like. I still think Arcee is the ugliest toy in the line by far.

Why can't I find '08 BB on the Hasbro website? When does it come out?

At first I didn't like the Arcee mould, but it's grown on me a bit over time, I can see what they were going for with the uneven head, I think it was meant to look like hair over her face or something. She doesn't hold a candle to BB though.

^ Props for best username ever.

Yeah, the uneven head is supposed to be hair. That's not what I don't like about it though, it's the face and torso.

Torso looks fine to me. :-?
