These 2 new die cast cars are based on Bumblebee and his 2 different appearances in the 2007 Live Action film. The first is based on his 1977 Chevy Camaro mode, all the way down to the rough details and body work he had in that mode, and the second his based on his newer 2006 Camaro self that he scanned halfway into the film. Both vehicles are equipped with real life details, including opening hoods, trunks, and doors, and have complete interior work too. Both also come with Bumblebee's robot mode engraved on the bottom, much like the RPM figures of years past, though oddly both feature his 2006 Camaro robot mode.
Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of these new die dudes below!

It looks like the front is a bit too tall, I think it is that lower valence on the front

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BUMBLEBEE MOVIE RIGHT?
since it was confirmed that Bee in the movie will be a Voltswagon beetle and not a camaro

Bumblebees are like cockroaches. They will survive armegedon and exist for eternity. Its not surprising to see another swarm is coming.

Let us know if you intend on picking him up or not if you see him. This toy has been found at both Target and Walmart in the US for around $7.

I do like this model though, and the ability to pull Prime's trailer is a bonus. For 7$, it's fine

Do you spend a lot of time just staring at semi trucks counting the number of bars they have on the sides?
There you go, three bars on one side, and I didn't even have to look that hard.

Personally, I thought it compared pretty well and could do the job as fill in display, if it was not for the trailer hitch differences.

Coming from both Michigan and Manhattan, and both found at Costco (including on the online store here) for $49.99, the toy is an RC 1:12 VW bug with monster truck wheels for all terrains. We knew of the Camaro Bumblebee and the Optimus Prime truck from previous stories, but this one is relatively out of nowhere. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think!

There is a 5% "non-member" fee if you don't have a Costco membership, but regular shipping is only $1.99.
I saw the other day at Target they had the Jada R/C Bumblebee Camaro in stock, and on the shelf right above Jada also makes a totally not Bumblebee plain yellow R/C Camaro.

Spotted in two Walmart locations, earlier this week and yesterday. Looks like it might be the same chassis as the Monster Bug one. $54.99 online.
The car was last seen back at Toy Fair 2019 tucked in a shelf of Bumblebee movie merchandise where it went largely unnoticed. Bellow you'll find official photos as seen on Walmart.com.
And if you have any sightings be sure to let us know and post them in the Energon Pub forums.

The Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Metalfigs are each 4 inches tall, have light up eyes, feature 3 points of articulation, and even have accessories. Both are listed at $12.99 each.
The G1 Metalfigs diorama set includes 4 separate highly detailed and painted figures: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream. Each are 2 and 3/4 inches tall and are made from die-cast metal (the most precious metal known to toy collectors). The set is currently listed at $15.99.
Are these the mighty minis you've been waiting for? Need some fodder for that enormous Unicron coming soon? Share your thoughts in the forum and as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

At least that's actually legit: seen plenty of Transforming RC Vehicles that knock off Movie Prime and Bumblebee at mall kiosks

They match well with the Citybot Titans. But I only have Devy, Predaking & the Ark... and these minifigs don't match with any of those. However they'll look cool lined up in front (or on top) of my PC monitor though. I might get them just for that and if they can be found and are priced reasonable enough (no idea how much they'll cost).
