this is the first i've seen of bumblebee. not bad looking with some nice stabby blades - 'float like a butterfly and sting like a bee'

all the other toys as previously seen look pretty sweet.

I'm gonna have no money left by the time Transformers 3 comes out. Come to think of it... that might not be so bad ;) :p

I think that is what Hasbro is planning, getting more funds to make some super cool awesome new figures for the next movie, but also to keep the money flowing in for them ;)

What's with Bumblebee's chicken thighs? I like his alt mode though - it's like a "Tron car" ;)

There isn't enough toys in this subline for me! :)

What about the Blue guy with the Mattock and WFC Megatron?, and there is others I'm sure, or are we just talking about the first wave?.

Well blow me down! Kup is actually interested in something post BW. :p

As for me, I only like thrust so far. :) I still don't really know what drift is all about.

And that's a bad thing?

That Bumblebee would make a sweet Cliffjumper remold.

Not necessarily. Although I didn't expect any of the character's vehicular modes to be the same as the ones they have on Earth, that's all.

That Thrust and Drift arent part of the War For Cybertron Game/Book/Toys. They're part of 'Transformers Generations' which is the name for future releases that aren't part of the 'Movie' or 'Universe' toylines.

Basically Hasbro are being lazy.

Generations is basically 'Universe 3.0' - A catch all line which happens to include the War for Cybertron figures.

As mentioned, Drift and Thrust are NOT War for Cybertron.

Yes, Hasbro are being lazy but there is nothing unusual about that ;)

Ahhh! That explains a lot then! My bad...

(modified topic title to prevent further confusion)

These are available for pre-order from RK

I quite like the look of these esp the bike bots. So these are slated for domestic release?

Im just wondering , does anyone know if they are these boxed figures?

Nope... normal deluxe size carded bubble

I like the fact that WFC Bumblebee and Optimus and packaged in their robot modes. They'll make a good display piece for those wanting to keep them MOSC.

Here are some new (official) in-package images for the first wave.

i wonder what takaratomy will do with these?

i only have henkeis so these might look funny next to them.

Part of me hopes they dont.
I went Classics for Wave 1, Henkeis for Wave 2 and since I can't wait will go Generations for Wave 3.

They will all look funny mixed in together.
