Fellow Seibertronian Hokutron has pointed us to a couple of new ebay listings that feature none other than a Transformers Animated Deluxe Class Bumblebee figure from the upcoming fan-favorite Legacy line. The original Animated Deluxe Bumblebee was released in 2008. This new toy retains Bumblebee's friendly smirk, turbo boosters, reworked-stingers, and compact yellow car mode. It appears to be a nice representation of Animated Bumblebee.
The photos below are from ebay listings from merchants_of_moe and transmimi. It is highly advised that you use caution when buying from overseas sellers or sellers with low or negative feedback.
Check out the images below.
Here are some additional images provided by Sowndwave76 on Seibertron.com's Energon Pub forums.
For reference, you can check out the original Animated Deluxe Bumblebee's gallery right here on Seibertron.com!

Legacy Animated Prowl was a hard pass, but this Bee might be another story...if I didn't already have 3 extras of his original toy for the Clio custom I swear I'll get around to someday.
Looking at her commercial appearance again, I'm probably the only fan who thinks she looks similar enough to Animated Bumblebee for this to make sense, so I can't count on HasTak retooling this mold into her...but this will surely make a good Wasp down the road, and maybe they'll go nuts and repaint it into every variant in the Allspark Almanac!

The head and altmode look alright, but the rest is still lacking in most of the curves and proportions the Animated design was known for. Put a G1 Bee head on it instead and people would instead think it's just another Classics-style G1 Bee.
And what were once the front feet on the original design are now the heels of this design, with new tinier feet replacing them.

That's just a small detail.
You gotta admit that this Animated Bee is MUCH more closer to the original as any of the Prime figures hoped to be. Even Animated Prowl.

I have been collecting the Legacy Junkions, in anticipation of their eventual combined mode, only to be pretty disappointed by the semi-official Junkasaurus build, once I had it in hand.
I searched around to see if anyone had any more interesting combinations, and I found nothing.
So I tinkered a bit, and came up with this, completely unofficial, but improved (In my opinion) Junkasaurus.
I used a Trashmaster, an Axlegrease, and a Scraphook, along with all of their components.
If anyone has any other cool Junkions combos, I'd love to see them! (I still have yet to find any really good 'Evo-Fusion' ideas for Trashmaster's parts, other than just swapping out the trucks front end)

The original TFA Bumblebee figure was perhaps my least favorite of the lot. The vehicle mode was fine, but the robot mode was a mess. Those horrible clown feet, the loose arms that keep falling off, the flimsy Stinger gimmick - they definitely seemed to have phoned in their design efforts with his figure.
The Legacy version looks much better, except it appears to be very small. It looks almost Core sized, and I thought that it WAS a Core figure at first, until I saw the translucent plastic windows. And the face detailing looks like it got scribbled on by someone with a Sharpie. I hope that's just a prototype and the final version will be cleaner...

Amazon says my Trashmaster should be arriving tomorrow, despite not actually shipping yet, so I probably won't have much time to mess with it. I've only seen one actual video online combine it the way it was teased, and they said the connections was very unstable. Im just looking for a stable bi-pedal configuration making it as tall as possible. I know the quadrupedal look inspired by TF RotF Devastator has a feral/savage appeal, but I'm trying to see if there is any chance this could be a contender to slot in with my other UW/CW/PotP combiners, since I'm still one Autobot team short of balance. Signs aren't looking good especially since Trashmaster appears to be the smallest voyager made in recent years.

I am disappointed that the stripes are not aligned and that the front end ends up on the heels instead. He's close, but again, just off.

Thanks to Seibertronian Kanrabat, we have some in hand pictures of the upcoming Pulsecon exclusive Powerlinx Armada Hot Shot and Jolt. They found these in Canada at Gamestop, which is where the figures are exclusive to north of the border.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

-Kanrabat- wrote:Found at GameStop Canada, the Legacy Evolution Armada Universe Hot Shot and Jolt pack! I have no idea if it's a Pulse/GameStop exclusive or not.
First thing you'll notice is how damn expensive it is. 68$CAN (50$US) for non-Edge members plus taxes is a lot of money. Way, way more than Red Cog.
WHY?
This is why:
There is lots of stuff. The minicon Jolt is basically a CORE CLASS Transformers. Plus, there's two extra guns, plus two sets of 3 blast effects for 6 total.
The little Jolt is fantastic, despite his lack of paint.
He's complex enough and he's fairly articulated.
Hot Shot himself is not bad, but he's not great. Especially on th backpack that come undone too easily, as well has his knees. But otherwise, he's fine enough.
He really shine with his extra guns and theBLOOOOOOOOOOSH
Oh, and Jolt can do the hover mode.
The transformation is interesting enough. Plus the vehicle looks great. Except on my copy, the coloring on the roof panels are different and doesn't match with each others for reasons.
Fully equipped, the car is awesome.
My Armada crew is looking good! Now only Armada Wheeljack is needed. Plus if they can make the other minicons as core class figures. Maybe as a 3 pack?
Was is worth that much money? Ultimately, not really. I say the set may be 10$CAN too expensive. Regardless, I don't regret my purchase. I FOMO'd hard on this one and there's no way that I would gamble finding it on sale.

I got my Titan Nemesis in, and she is pretty good. She has a good presence to her, and I love the shadow she casts. I do not like the bicep kibble, but that is really the only setback on her. I will say I wish she had a little more backweight, as i want to pose her in the hunchback look, but she is difficult to balance in a convincing look that way, plus she takes up more room in that way.
I also got Nova Prime and Shadowstriker. Nova Prime is very cool, I love it. Shadowstriker looks good, but still annoys me as she looks almost nothing like her Cyberverse self, and her transformation is a pain.
Bludgeon still rules. He is better than Tarn.
I also got Strongarm and Detritus in. Both are pretty neat, I will discuss them later.

I meant, FULLY announced. With the price and all.
Because so far, no one know for how much the damn thing will cost in the USA.
I just want to know by how much I overpaid (given the Canadian trend for so many exclusives), or if the prices are relatively balanced between both countries.

So that mean with the EDGE Platinum membership, I end up paying 5 to 8$CAN extra compared to the American price.
Not too shabby considering that if I was stuck ordering from Pulse, they would have charged my the whopping 25$US in shipping fee at the bare minimum.

The big boots were a key feature of Animated Bumblebee's silhouette. They were even based on the feet of G1 Bumblebee, which were made from the front bumper area of his own original toy, a toy that also had big boots. So the original feet were already a G1 homage. Hasbro's attempt to G1-ify the feet here results in eliminating something that was already G1-based.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:And what were once the front feet on the original design are now the heels of this design, with new tinier feet replacing them.

Yeah, they still refuse to let Animated be Animated. I don't really see any improvement here, it's just as heavily G1fied as Prowl and Bulkhead.

Thinking about it, that's an odd choice.
Also, the way the thing are built, I don't think the feet can rotate. That's unfortunate.

I think it looks loads better than the other stylistic ports (Prime Bulkhead and Ani Prowl). Not that it would take that much ... it's a low bar at this point.
I guess it's a good catch on the feet. It's been so long that I forgot about that. In the end it's still an ascetic conversion and an entirely new toy. For me it hits the mark. I guess I don't need it to be 100% accurate. 80-90 is fine.
If I were interested in Animated BB. Which, sadly, I am not.

Having big boots is simply G1 Bumblebee's thing (among other things), and the original Animated Bumblebee toys replicated that faithfully.

In fact, checking the wiki real quick, a vast majority of new-mold G1 Bumblebee toys ( and all of their redecos/retools) made since the original Classics mold in 2006 have all had big boots:-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The big boots were a key feature of Animated Bumblebee's silhouette.

Got the (Amazon exclusive?) Nova Prime!
First, that's big, sturdy box! The insides of the packaging must be quite premium.
...Or not.
I noticed that the whole thing was put face-down. Not a biggie, but what the F with those paper bundles? Sure, it's way more environmental friendly than plastics clamshells, but still. Am I moving some dishes to a new apartment or what?
Looks like Nova Prime have a bondage fetish. Kinky! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
The super bot looks awesome, except for the hollow firetruck things. I'll be looking forward an upgrade kit.
The mini Prime is nice. Like a clone of Magnus.
The transformation was full of TRAPS. The worst one being the legs-armor's "panels". Those are screwed in place and are not meant to be moved. As for the rest, it's so different than Siege/Kingdom Magnus that I had to look up the instructions to know what to do. That's rare.
The final truck is pretty damn nice.
I'll be looking forward some upgrade kit and the Reprolabels.

Nice configuration! I don't mind the official Junkasaurus might not be good... as each individual Junkions are pretty good on their own with a ton of playability. So the combining aspect is a pure bonus. I kind of like Axelgrease's color mixed into the combiner and some asymmetry on the limbs, and not needing to double dip on the same figure is another bonus too.

I searched around to see if anyone had any more interesting combinations, and I found nothing.
So I tinkered a bit, and came up with this, completely unofficial, but improved (In my opinion) Junkasaurus.
I used a Trashmaster, an Axlegrease, and a Scraphook, along with all of their components.
If anyone has any other cool Junkions combos, I'd love to see them! (I still have yet to find any really good 'Evo-Fusion' ideas for Trashmaster's parts, other than just swapping out the trucks front end)

Hasbro Pulsecon is coming later this week and we know there will be a whole new Legacy United line unveiled for us. We've seen animated deluxe Bumblebee and now we have our first look at Animated voyager Optimus Prime. You can see the images below. Let us know what you think of it. While several fans have complained that many Prime toys and even animated Bumblebee have lost a lot of their unique designs in favour of more standard proportions and aesthetics, this Optimus Prime retains a large amount of his Animated aesthetic. Also remember that this very same mold is getting redeco'd into Motormaster later next year.

Oh, unexpected! But do we really need OP from Animated? The Constructicons are right there after all.
Maybe their plan is to do the entire Autobot cast...

Thanks to ScreenRant we have not only the reveal of the subtitle for next year's Legacy Line: United, but we also have the official reveal of the first 2 figures from that wave: deluxe Animated Bumblebee and voyager Animated Optimus Prime!
Bumblebee was previously leaked this week, but these new images show us the official reveal of the figure, complete with his box.
Optimus Prime is brand new for everyone to see, and is a great attempt at remaining faithful to the Animated look while trying to fit in with the rest of the Legacy toyline.
Both figures will receive attention at Pulsecon this weekend, and are expected to go up for Preorder some time this weekend.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think in the comments below!

Oh my god, Optimus looks AMAZING!!! They did him justice.
If the feet were right on Bee, I would say they got him right too. That is about the only thing wrong with either one of them.

I'm liking the Optimus more then the Bumblebee. These are both pick ups for me. As long as they keep doing a good job with my favorite TF series I'll add them to my collection.
Also I'm glab they showed Primes. If there is one Prime that should always show his face it's this one.

So Uni stood for United rather than Universe as some theorised, an easy mistake to make.
Optimus looks the best one yet, we know what else will be in this wave don't we from leaks?

Not bad for Optimus, despite the shins molded details that are weird and the messy truck rear.

JTPrime teased the name almost a full month ago.

My word! I didn't see much of Animated, and only got Grimlock as a figure. Not sure why. But those two? I reckon I'll defo get that Optimus and probably the Bumblebee!

Prime looks pretty good, his legs look a bit messy with the cheap looking wheels but not minding what they have done with the forearms. vehicle mode going to 6 wheels intead of 4 might have been needed for rolling purposes. At voyager price he should have the faceplate gimmick though or interchangable heads.
Bee might look better with the rims of his feet painted black and shouldnt look too much like all the other non animated bees that have the bumpers on the feet pointing forwards.

Animated Optimus might be the best example and use of an uniform art style for this line. His proportions and detail look good while still resembling the character model.
On a personal note,his transformation seens based on the deluxe toy, so that is a win for me.
Great work work Hastak!

Bro, you got or are getting Commander Armada Prime, right?
I like these animated reveals even though I wasn't a fan of the show or aesthetic. One thing that kinda disappoints me is that Prime doesn't have the flip up face plate and his axe doesn't look like it opens for a double sided blade.

I like what I see with Optimus so far. The only drawback is that it looks like he won't have the flip-up face mask that the original Voyager had. On the plus side, the Legacy version of his axe looks much better than that weird flyswatter they had for the original Voyager...

Optimus looks pretty good. The lower legs are a little iffy but the upper body is spot on, love the axe and love the face sculpt. I wouldve like a mouthplate gimmick as I've always preferred Optimus that way but this one looks solid either way. Maybe there'll be a variant down the line with a mouthplate in a buzzworthy pack or something
That being said, I'm on the fence about this guy. Might get him and headcanon him as Orion Pax or something
On the fence about Bumblebee too. Looks great, but I might wanna wait on a Prime universe Bee down the line

This makes me excited for a tf animated Ratchet. That's hands down my favorite version of ratchet, which is why I don't currently own any ratchet figures. Prime universe ratchet is a close second though
