He also reports having already purchased DOTM Deluxe wave three. Not unusual since they often get figures at retail ahead us, but this does confirm the contents of wave three: Laserbeak, Mudflap, Nitro Bumblebee, and Thundercracker. Since wave one and two have already made appearances at our local retail, hopefully we won't have a long wait before we see these guys on the pegs.

Exactly what size is "Commander Class" anyway? Scout-ish? I'm trying to guess by the level of detail/articulation on each figure, but I'm still not sure.

They're somewhere between Legends and Scouts.

This is not the legends class Cyberfire Bumblebee, this is a repaint of the DOTM deluxe mold. TFW_2005 member len_d69 has shared an image from the limited Transformers: Dark Of The Moon Toy Guide Book that was distributed freely with a purchase of RM200 or more. It features a yellow and black flame deco and red windows tinted windows with the same MechTech weapon as DOTM Bumblebee.
I even repeated that on the first page.

It's just DOTM Deluxe 'Bee with new paint. Even their weapons are the same.

It's too bad that it seems they are just mostly repaints (in the deluxe line). Personally, I wish there were some more original molds in the line (especially wish Sideswipe would get a new one or at least use the Sidearm mold). But Hatchet (in the commander class) looks kinda neat (that is the Voyager class right?). So far it seems that I'm only going to get 2 or 3 from this line, it seems kinda boring
First of all, Commander Class is Cyberverse, and are inbetween Legends and Scouts in size. And Sideswipe is a new mold altogether, check the galleries.

Ty for the clarification. I had forgotten the Sideswipe had a new deluxe mold. I guess the way they transformed him in the picture just made me think it was the old mold, my mistake

I really hope it turns out as a good figure, I like the whole Jet to Beast spin, don't see that executed too often.

That being said, I have managed to snag a Shockwave, but havn't found any Deluxes beyond Wave 1. I wants me some Laserbeak.

Because he is the most popular character, and they think people/kids will buy them up like hotcakes.

So your'e saying he's more popular than optimus? By the way I think BB is being overused

Pretty much. Bumblebee has become the posterbot for the Movieverse, hence them abusing the character like this.

And Laserbeak actually looks good to me this time!

Human Alliance Bumblebee? Battle Blades Bumblebee?
I hope you both realise it's a repaint of the first DotM Bumblebee.
Well, I do know that, I was just listing the Bumblebees I thought were really good, I'm not liking the new ones though, but hey, I don't have to get everything.

Kid-appeal characters > Hero characters. Any day.

Just ditched his stupid weapon and gave him a pair of extra blasters. EVIL COP PISTOLS!
Honestly, while I don't like them per say, I think MechTech was a WONDERFUL idea... if only because it puts the stupid gimmick Hasbro insists every movie figure have in a piece that's removable, allowing the figure itself to be better.
Still don't need THREE F*KING BUMBLEBEES IN AS MANY WAVES though. Especially since they're trying to trick stupid kids with the different paintjobs and weapons. If you're going to repaint/retool a mold, at least make it a different damn character.
