    The one in the picture is just Cliffjumper's rifle assemblage reused.
    In the toon, he has a pistol. Given techspec firepower of 1, might as well use it to warm marshmallows.

    Nah, the only original Minibot that came with a weapon was Outback.

    Both Bumblebee & Hubcap will come with the same gun. The upside, though, is that it's modular. So you can give Hubcao & Bumblebee their own gun (configuration), should you decide to.


    Eagerly waiting for Masterpiece Meister

    He had a generic little gun or two in the cartoon, and since then he seems to have had a smallish pistol which I think they're including as part of that Centurion pack.

    Yeap, to quote the link it includes 'the iconic G1 blaster, drill blaster, glass gas blaster, and jetpack accessories inspired by the ones used by Bumblebee, Ironhide, Cliffjumper and Sideswipe respectively'.

    Or I could just make my own:

    Cliffjumper: It's not my gun, I'm just holding it for a yellow friend.

    I did find Bumblebee's Pretender Shell gun in my storage, so just for fun:

    Unfortunately, the post is too wide to socket into the port.

    Just got this from Hasbro Australia when I contacted them regarding the availability of the toy here:


    So, anyone got alternative suppliers?
    Looks like we'll have to use them as Hasbro has let us down.

    It should be coming here as part of the Netflix Wave 2 line, which they weren't going to be bringing here but then changed their mind and now are thanks to fan pressure and feedback from Griffin.

    I already put in a Pre-order with Robotkingdom. Might pick up a 2nd one if I actually see one in-store here.

    I went with ActionRobo for my Bumblebee preorder.
    Since I don't know much about about them, but they have some favorable reviews, this should be a safe choice I hope.
    I'm not so much concerned about when I get my Bugbee, just that I will be guaranteed one.

    Mostly it's just insurance, if my local Kmart fails to get Bugbee in (highly likely), then ActionRobo will do what they failed to.
    I honestly don't know what is wrong with my local Kmart, other Australians keep talking about getting their Sky Lynx, Optimus, sometimes even a Scorponok and I'm like, all my Kmart has is an empty section that they've never bothered to restock.
    They never had the bigger ones at all, as far as I can tell, Grapple is as big as I have seen from them.
    Even asked the BigW stock manager (personally, in store) if they'd get Sky Lynx, the only answer I got was "I don't know".
