    It's what the 42nd movie Bumblebee?

    Yawn.

    This is interesting, but I'd be more interested in The Fallen as he IS the supposed main movie villain.

    I have all of my Bumblebees on one shelf together, and almost half of them are from the movies. And I don't even have all of them (skipped Ultimate and Stealth, and a couple of the Legends).

    So totally not needing another one. Hasbro have already released a massive Bumblebee - do we need another one?? I agree with Optimus - The Fallen would have been a far better choice.

    Mind you, I'm not even sold on the Leader Starscream. I'd far rather unique, relevant and size-appropriate characters for Leader toys; Jetfire worked. And of course accepting that Optimus and Megatron will always be Leader class.

    I'd prefer Leader BB over The Fallen, at least it would turn into something. I'd much rather leader class Grindor/Blackout or Bonecrusher

    Leader Class Alice? At that scale they could probably do an old school Pretender shell with that weird robot inside. And there could be a trapdoor on her... posterior for the tail.

    Not something I'm desperate for, but I'm sure it'd be a popular toy amongst the fans (:

    I bet it would. We would probably get some skewed results over on this thread though

    What a waste of plastic. Seriously a leader Bumblebee? What's the point?

    That is clearly a poorly thought out marketing driven toy since the stores and Hasbro seem to think that Movie Bumblebee is the best selling character ever and that all kids will buy anything that has to do with the character.

    Given the amount of Bumblebee toys released I'd say that's a fair assumption, although I have no interest in a leader class Bumblebee a waste of plastic would be a bit extreme, as it will likely sell better than some of the other leader toys they have released so far, Brawl I'm looking at you.

    I don't really see why it's poorly thought out though, maybe if we Fan's were the whole market it would be, but there still pushing Bumblebee toys so I think he's far from an unprofitable branding.

    Given the quality of some of the recent leaders it will probably be better than Ultimate Bumblebee too.

    Still I share the general lack of interest in this toy, and it means that Bumblebee has clearly secured his place along with Prime, Megatron, and Starscream as one of those TF's who is in every damn toyline. Clearly a sad day for poor Goldbug.

    It makes you wonder what could have been if they had Grimlock in the movieverse
