Preview of more ROTF toys & repaints!

September 22, 2009 | By Juliana Heng In Toy observations, Toy updates, Transformers |

ROTF Cannon Bumblebee action figure with masked head.

Yes!  I knew that the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (ROTF) toyline will have a Deluxe Bumblebee action figure with the masked head sooner or later!  He will indeed be released as a slight repaint of Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee!  (The red color on the cannons gives the impression that there is blood on them, LOL!)

You can view the photos of all the upcoming ROTF toys and their repaints (this is so typical of Hasbro) at this link here!  I look forward to seeing the above repaint of ROTF Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee in the stores soon!  (If only Hasbro decided to release a Stealth repaint of Deluxe Cannon Bumblebee with the yellow masked head, just like they did with Transformers The Movie aka TFTM Deluxe Stealth Bumblebee!)

      i’ve been thinking about that this morning, why hasbro did not opt to produce rotf bumblebees with with mask down, especially for the legends class. or a black legends recon bumblee like the deluxe tftm one, instead of the minor repaint of the first rotf one. a black legends bumblebee would have more demand i think.

      I will be interested if they do release a legends class ice-cream truck. :)

      Hippo, me too, even the RPMs version, if ever they release one, especially if it is truly movie accurate. :)

      Hi Bany,

      I think there is a black ROTF Legends BB coming soon, but it’s an exclusive that comes with the Jap ROTF DVD only. Same for the trans-scanning ROTF Legends BB:

      You were the one who informed me about this right? :P

      Hi Hippo,

      Same here, I’ll want the Legends Ice Cream truck too!

      I think you mentioned this before, and I replied you that the individual Ice Cream truck twins would end up being smaller than Legends figures, if Hasbro does produce it :)

      Not nice leh..The red paint of the cannon looks like blood stain.

    7. Juliana Heng on September 25th, 2009

      Hi deSMOnd,

      No worries, we can always repaint the cannons ourselves. I only like the masked Deluxe BB head :P

      Hi again Juliana,

      Here’s another repaint pack:

      The Legends figures are “battle damaged”.

      *sigh* I hate being a completist. :(

      BTW, the Mudflap from the Straightaway Shootout 5-pack, is also a variant with “mud” on some parts, someone told me at TFW2005.com.

      Come Christmas season, we can expect more repaints and repacks. :(

      Hi Bany,

      Thanks for the photo link! This set is reported to be selling in Singapore dept stores, though I have not seen it in person yet. I can’t see the “battle-damaged” parts on the Legends though :P

      I’ve seen Straightaway Shootout Legends Mudflap in person. No wonder his shade of colors look quite dull, cos he had been “coated in mud”, LOL!!

      Nooo…., no more repaints and repacks!!! :(

      Hi Juliana,

      yeah, it makes me sick to think i have to have every single variant, some redecos are just too minor.

      btw, takara rotf ez wave 2 are mostly repaints, not the same as the hasbro releases, what makes wave 2 interesting are the inclusion new molds, wheelie and soundwave. here’s a link to new pics:

      battled damaged op and megs actually look like “played with” condition toys, hehe. :)

      Hi Bany,

      I’d like Legends Soundwave and Wheelie to be in my collection :D

      Hi Bany,

      Thanks for the links! Are you getting these too? They are repaints :P

    14. Bany on October 27th, 2009

      Hi again Juliana,

      Yup, i plan to get them eventhough they are repaints, i actually like most of them. Most likely they will come as 2-packs. :)

    15. Bany on October 28th, 2009

      Turns out they are Target exclusive 2-packs:

      Hi Bany,

      Thanks for the links! It should take some months before we see these Legends 2-packs at retail stores..
