    Default Deluxe B*******e (the 'new' one).

    A photo of the back of the toy's card shows the new feature for this toy - cannons that pop out in both modes. Must be a feature in the film.

    He uses those shoulder cannons in the first movie when he is getting towed along by Mikalea fighting Brawl.

    Really? I thought it was just his hand cannon... I'll have to have another look at it.

    I only noticed it on my big screen. He starts off using his hand cannon then they pop up near the end of that scene.

    I reckon he looks pretty sweet, I really like the new arms though they may need a splash of paint. I suspect though BB is going to have a little more kibble on his back as evidently waist up this figure mechanically is quite different to the last BB mould we've already had.
    Also looks like he'll lose the balljoint on his head as in the previous figure.

    This Bumblebee is mostly new. The entire upper torso, arms, doors, car roof are brand new. The arms look more accurate now, but less accurate is the fact the wheels flip inside his hood (I think) to give him better range of shoulder movement.. I think only his legs/rear of the car is the same as Preview ROTF BB.

    I suspect this will become the default Deluxe Bumblebee mold from now on.


    Back in 2007, Radio Shack made radio control cars of Bumblebee and Barricade with optional snap-on weapons (Bumblebee had missiles deployed from the doors and his cannon came from the hood, while Barricade had drill-tipped missiles on his hood). At least for Barricade, these weapons were built into the prop Saleen S280 for use in the car chase scene after Bumblebee rescues Sam & Mikaela, but the scene was cut for some reason.
