    Default Buzzworthy Bumblebee new toy/line

    So a new G1-inspired Bumblebee and new transforming* Exo-suit wearing Spike Witwicky is coming



    *1 step transformation appears to be "lay figure down".

    Source: I first saw here on Twitter, but some more info and pics at TFW2005


    The toylines are seriously blurring together this year.

    The packaging is in the colours of Bumblebee Movie / Cyberverse toys, with a Cyberverse BB face, but it also has a War for Cybertown Trilogy logo and character art in WFC style.

    It's TFTM characters so kind of fits with Studio Series 86 line? He might scale better than the Netflix Deluxe?

    It's maybe a Core class size figure that otherwise would have been in Kingdom?

    And just to throw further confusion in the mix, that vehicle mode is clearly Bumper's. Hope that means we get a head retool at some point.


    EDIT: Just noticed that they moulded in the "Penny Racer" flap at the back of the vehicle. I heart you Hasbro.

    I guess I need to buy this just to get an exo-suit.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    Buzzworthy Bumblebee 15 Bumblebee & Charlie - Repack of Studio Series SS-15 1976 Camaro Bumblebee and Charlie figurine, but without the extra car parts (probably no stickers either, so it looks very plain).

    Hey, don't sell the toy too short, there is a panel on his back you flip over to cover the legs.

    I get so many mixed feelings from this toy. It's so confused.

    Another toy has been found sporting this new Buzzworthy branding... the mega 1-step Bumblebee from the 4th Movie in 2014, for US$30.
    That makes it six toys now in this new set of packaging.
    It was found at a Target store in the US, which could mean that the line is a Target exclusive line. (I can't imagine this being a general release line, as Bumblebee isn't THAT popular to the older collectors that most of his line is aimed at, so a retailer (Target) MUST have actually asked for a set of mostly Bumblebee toys in Bumblebee themed packaging... as there is no movie coming out soon.)
