    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 (:

    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.

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

    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

    you forgot bb I wouldn't have included Cliffjumper; he's technically a separate character.

    There have been more Bumblebee action figures released between 2007 to now compared to 1984-2006. Not including variants and reissues, prior to the live action movie we had:
    1. Bumblebee (original 1984)
    2. Goldbug
    3. Pretender Bumblebee (I'm counting Kmart Legend Bumblebee as a variant )
    4. Action Master Bumblebee
    5. G2 Bumblebee (1993)
    6. Go-Bot Bumblebee
    7. Smallest Transformation Bumblebee
    8. Classics Bumblebee

    Since 2007 we've had: (again, not including variants like Lawson, Evolution of a Hero etc)
    1. Slumblebee
    2. Deluxe Bumblebee (70s Camaro)
    3. Deluxe Bumblebee (Concept Camaro)
    4. Deluxe Bumblebee (Premium; and I'm counting Stealth Bumblebee as a variant of this mould)
    5. Deluxe Bumblebee (ROTF Preview)
    6. Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee
    7. Legends Bumblebee (TF1)
    8. Legends Bumblebee (ROTF)
    9. Ultimate Bumblebee (TF1)
    10. Ultimate Bumblebee (ROTF)
    11. Trans-Scanning Bumblebee
    12. FAB Bumblebee (TF1)
    13. FAB Bumblebee (ROTF)
    14. Cyber Slammer Bumblebee (70s)
    15. Cyber Slammer Bumblebee (Concept)
    16. Cyber Stompin' Robots Bumblebee
    17. Robot Replica Bumblebee (TF1)
    18. Robot Replica Bumblebee (ROTF)
    19. Micro IR Bumblebee
    20. Human Alliance Bumblebee
    21. Gravity Bot Bumblebee
    22. Battle Charger Bumblebee
    23. Power Bot Bumblebee
    ...and I'm not including all the Bumblebee toys that I personally don't consider to be "action figures" like RPM, Voice Changer helmet, Plasma Cannon arm, movie dangler, Kite, ZipZap, XMOD, Unleashed, Chess Knight, Beatmix, Robot Heroes etc.

    So basically we've received triple the number of Bumblebee action figures between 2007-2009 compared to what we had between 1984-2006!

    Please don't tell me that was just off the top of your head Goki?

    I suppose if one were to collect them all from the first movie (2007) and ROTF, it might look a bit like this...



    Although, why anyone would go to the effort is beyond me.

    Some of it was from other less comfortable places... like the back seat of a VW Beetle
