Legion Class Bumblebee Variant Found in Stores

Isn't that the common one? I've seen them all over Ireland.

that was the one all over my TRU too. I'm guessing it's an unintentional "Memorial Bee" following the events of the IDW comics.

The US version has a red symbol instead of black:

Saw these in Smyths and Argos on Friday.

If they're gonna keep putting out that Legends Starscream, could they at least put out a Skywarp already.

Actually, a multipack of seekers would be superb. Even if the wings aren't altered, the fact that you can make these figures into coneheads yourself is enough for me.

i like that they're labelled FIGURKY on the shelves, because at those prices, you're gonna need some lubrication.

These again? I have them all already

This is a variant? It's the only version I've seen so far.
I'm more concerned about the fact the back of the packages tell you there are rubsigns where there aren't. They're just re-using the RTS stock graphics, even though that Bumblebee wasn't in RTS in that colour scheme.
I'm guessing it's more a running change than a variant...

Anybody spotted these in Canada yet? Wouldn't mind getting my hands on that Starscream.

I really, REALLY love that packaging. I may sound ridiculous, but I want one of these just to keep sealed. (I already have all of them, older version, open and played with.)

i actually just found the red package version of these in biglots last week, first time ive ever seen them in my area.

Can't they release some of the other Universe legends, instead of just the Reveal the Shield ones.

There's also an Optimus variant
One version has the Autobot symbol on his left shoulder while the other doesn't.

Yes, is a unique find, if you eee it around, you might have items coming from UK as well.

The picture is the backside on the packing

Interesting these aren't even the new legend figures.. Might need to pick them up since I don't have any of them

Japanese retailer Red Mercury has posted listings of 3 new toys part of the "Classic Legion Class" line which started last year, consisting of redecos of previously released legends molds. The three new toys are:

Ultra Magnus
Cliffjumper
Skywarp

Since the line so far has an Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Starscream (pictured below), it could be that these are the same molds used for these new toys.

A white Prime? Red Bumblebee? Black Starscream? Gimme! Hopefully they'll appear just before I leave for the U.S.....

Skywarp...finally.

But I thought they were coming out with a Skywarp repaint of the larger Legends Starscream.

Let's see, I have the original Prime, Motorbreath, and a clear one released for AOE; looks like I'll be getting a white one now. If Skywarp comes with the null rays I just might be inclined to pick up a Starscream so I have a proper set.

They are. These are different lines for different markets, why can't they each get a skywarp?

So sick of seeing these characters over and over again... would rather have those slots given to characters that could use the update.

Why would you consider these updates? These are 5 year old molds marketed at dollar store chains in the states. They probably wont see a mass retail release at big box stores as was the case with the previous releases.

Repaints. How surprising. (I'm being sarcastic.)

I wonder if there will be a way to jam that (hypothetical) Ultra Magnus into the Leader UM. That's got to be the best option, right? I mean, totally ridiculous to have a white semi-truck inside another white semi-truck... but doable.

Old as in released before? Yup, by TakaraTomy:


Transformers Henkei Cliffjumper (Cliff) Gallery


Chronicle EZ Collection Skywarp

This will be their first US releases, sporting the mold tweaks (holes in the wings for Skywarp, extra pegs for Cliffjumper) so they can told apart.

Extra pegs? I must've missed something, what were the extra pegs for on Bumblebee?

This minor retool stems from the 2012 single release, and is easily missed. The pegs are located in the arms where the elbow would be, and are for locking the Vehicle Mode together better. Works too well if you ask me, once I transform him the arms won't unpeg anymore.

Saw the original character versions of these shelfwarming at Big Lots about a month ago. I think they had the Bee with the black symbol, but really didn't pay much attention since I already had some version (or two) of each.

A fellow TF fan hurricane567, on the TFW boards, found the recently listed Generations Legions Ultra Magnus and Skywarp at Fred's in south Louisianna. He also took pictures to show us fans the deco. As predicted Ultra Magnus and Skywarp are based on their RTS Molds. Generations Legion Skywarp is not to be confused with Generations Legends Skywarp which also comes out this year and is a slightly bigger size, more akin to that of a scout class figure.

I thought Skywarp was Dirge for a second, until I realized that I was looking at both his head and his back simultaneously rather than separating the two.
Hopefully when I have a chance to buy these, the paint won't wear easily as some of my recently bought figures.

Goodbye, Minimus Ambus. Hello, Legends Ultra Magnus.

I'm all over these like white on Prime.

I like that UM's wheels are white.
Was there ever a Thundercracker deco of this seeker mold?

Cobotron wrote:Was there ever a Thundercracker deco of this seeker mold?

Yeah it came in that G2 themed generations box set with the blue hero prime.

yes, as part of the Generations "Ultimate Gift Set"

it was retooled a little to have null rays as well as the built in weapons

Thanks fellas.

I recently saw a Starscream with the extra weapons at Big Lots.
I might have to go get one and just do a custom TC paint job.

Finally! The G1 direct inspired design! Soooooooo getting this!

I NEED THAT SKYWARP!!!!!!!!!!
Not want, NEED! This is the only scale I can afford the seeker trio without paying high prices or having to search high and low for because I already have the other two!

While I love the idea of the Minimus Ambus figure, I gotta admit your idea is very tempting haha!

Oh, great, one of those things I didn't know I wanted before: an armored Ultra Magnus in naked Magnus colors. The blue legs on the figure annoy me, so close to getting it right.

And wow! That is some ugly Skywarp art! I'm sure that'll sell some figures.

There was also one that came out with that short run of Generasians repaints that were TRU exclusives. That's the one I've got. I'm sure it's the same as the one that came in whatever multipack the others are referring to.

Yup, and its a pretty incredible giftset when you look at the molds they choose to include, all winners! I even fond the first time we newsed it: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/inhand-images-transformers-generations-ultimate-gift-set/25923/

Hey Emerje, you'll have to explain that one to me (I still feel like a noob sometimes). That sentence left me stumped. How is he both armoured and naked?

ANOTHER seeker and Magnus?! This is asinine...

no, takara had the one with no holes on those wings, I actually show him on my signature

edit... yes thundercracker came, but is the first skywarp with those holes on wings, previous takara mold was like on my signature

Come one man, its not even something you'll find at toysrus. These are made for a different market like Fred's (whatever that store is, I never heard of it). Its a lower priced official transformers toy for a parents who want an inexpensive toy for their kids. I just posted it because I thought fans would like to know these are out there because they do go along with a scale we have other toys of. And also because these wouldnt be found at the usual places.

I think he's thinking about putting THIS legends Magnus inside the the upcoming leader Magnus armor. Piloting and the like.

Actually I was talking about the backer card art showing a fully armored Ultra Magnus in the "Albino Prime" white and light blue colors. Now I kinda want to see Leader Magnus in those colors.

Oh my God..I didn't want this Ultra Magnus until you said that. I can picture it now. Delicious.
