If Bumblebee is the most courageous Transformers warrior, Stinger is the most devious. Built by humans and controlled by a shadowy organization, he is the evil counterpart to the heroic Autobot, a Decepticon spy programmed for sabotage and destruction.
We've mirrored the images below. And if you fancy, Seibertron's own Bumblebee gallery can be seen right here!

He looks very good, and we really need more human made Decepticons. Any rumors about Hasbro making or releasing this Stinger?
Good pictures, I love the mold. The subtle canon arm and battle mask are very nice adds. Hopefully they won't abandon the movie toy line. I'd love to see more generations movie figures.

Nope. Last BotCon, the group I was hanging out twith was told at the Hasbro booth that Hasbro had originally planned to produce a Stinger remolded from Bumblebee, but it never got past the prototype stage.noctorro wrote:Any rumors about Hasbro making or releasing this Stinger?
The AOE line is over for Hasbro. RID is taking its place.

I dont think takara cheaped out. Its just that stingers rims were painted black in the movie so they went for that look. As far as the lights, thats the same way they were painted on bumblebee.

alright, you made me feel better about the rims. but the lights still bug me. and FYI, the "autobots united" BB had painted rims and lights, he looks stellar.Rated X wrote:shajaki wrote:honestly im a little let down. the lack of paint in car mode (lights/rims) is not befitting of a pricey takara import.

That is an awesome repaint.

I have the normal Leader so might get him if he's not to super expensive. He looks great.
I wish they'd do something with Nenemsis Prime in the next film.

I don't think it's going to be on there. it's a Japanese TRU exclusive. I don't remember HLJ getting the Nemesis evasion mode prime.
I NEED preorders for this!! but yea colors on the chest is a lil strange too.

I don't know about teal and black, but the last black Autobot Optimus Prime was Prime Dark Guard, without the teal:

Even though Black Lioconvoy started the trend, and the teal and black isn't limited to Optimus Prime either

DOTM Soundwave (Dx & Ha), Q, and Dx Leadfoot, never made it outside of Asia. That really suck because they are all great toys. Especially HA Soundwave. I bought mine for 60$ shipped when it was still time. No regrets because he's amazing and now go for a premium on ebay.

Ah I knew that about Wheeljack and HA Soundwave... I think I paid like $89 shipped for HA Soundwave. Which was about a little after I realized it was not going to hit the shelves...

They already did. There were four Dinobots in the movie, so they gave those four the movie-accurate Black Knight treatment.shajaki wrote:Soooooo.... anyone else wondering if they plan to finish making the Black Knight Dinobots?

There are, however, no other details at the moment as to what line it is part of, or why the redeco appears at this point in time. What do you make of it? Take a look at the mirrored image below, and let us know in the Energon Pub!

Still, if anyone don't have him, why go to Ebay to buy the original when you can have a sweet-ass limited edition for the same price?

That would be a nice move by Takara, but this business re-releasing older movie figures seems to include either leader class guys or HA figures. Don't hold your breath.

Because they were already released in general retail over there. The only reasons MP Movie Bumblebee (aka Battle Op Bumblebee) and MP Movie Starscream (aka HtfD Leader Starscream) worked was because they were not part of any regular line there.
Besides, Optimus Prime and Megatron are better milking cows than Sentinel Prime and Ironhide will ever be
