Pics from ACToys of a Classics Bumblebee Glyph repaint...Might be an exclusive, possibly a henkei, who knows?
Pity we'll probably never see it over here, I'd pick up a Generations Glyph...
*sigh* we get so screwed on fembots in Oz.:(

At this time of year, and because of the origin of the character, I would have guessed it being a BotCon toy. But with the theme being Gen2, then maybe not. It would be an odd character to release to general retail, as it isn't a 'classic' or even well-known character.
Then again, Generations appears to include quite a few non-mainstream characters, so maybe that's the theme of this new sub-line.
Very cute. It's chromed too - maybe it's a Gentei pre-Transformers-blue Bumblebee? If it's ever released I'll pick it up.
Ah, chrome bits... Most likely JP then.
Couldn't imagine it'd be called Glyph then, as that wasn't a character they would even know about in Japan.
They could call it Freeway, if they had the Throttlebots in Japan.
Wow, that's pretty cool... it's listed on eBay for sale at the moment.
Lucky draw Henkei? :confused:Quote:
This auction is a blue Classic Bumblebee repaint from Japanese Henkei line. It is said to be a lucky draw exclusive in Japan in very limited number. This is absolutely NOT a customized one!
This doesn't work as Glyph for me. First of all I think the Classics Bumblebee mould looks too masculine to be Glyph. Secondly the blue looks too bright.
Ironically despite my previous whingings about red Bumblebees =/= Cliffjumper, I think this toy would work better as a Classics Carrera.
Well whoever it is and whatever line it's for, I like it. :)
If it's ever released I'll be sure to pick one up.
I do like the look of.
It's funny that anyone would pay so much for a Bumblebee, even if it is blue.Quote:

I'll just wait for more info or get someone to make me a custom :p
wow its at $200us at the moment. i have to agree with it being too expensive for a redeco.
but its such a nice blue and chrome, i can't blame people with cash to burn :D
Did we or anyone else ever work out exactly what this was? (There are two on eBay at the moment, both at the very reasonable price of $399.99US plus postage.;))
Though I can't remember where I heard/read it, I believe it was stated by a Hasbro representative that it was a KO and that Hasbro & Takara-Tomy had nothing to do with it.Quote:

It was clarified at Botcon and mentioned in griffin's report.Quote:

A search of completed listings on eBay showed some guy paying $220USD for it, just a week ago...
LOL! :pQuote:
