Buzzworthy Bumblebee - the "everything goes" toyline

[Nevermore]

Since it appears the Buzzworthy branding won't be going away for the foreseeable future, I though we might as well give it its own thread to avoid cluttering other related threads with stuff that doesn't really belong there.

To summarize - thus far we had:

Studio Series Deluxe Class:
Bumblebee 1977 Camaro with Charlie (re-release of the figure from the Studio Series 16 set, minus the customizing car parts and stickers)
WWII Bumblebee (re-release of the mainline Studio Series car mode Shatter figure)
Shatter (re-release of Studio Series 40 Shatter)
Bumblebee (Revenge of the Fallen production model Camaro, first release of this version followed by a mainline Studio Series general retail release this year)

Studio Series Battle Packs:
Bumblebee vs Dropkick (re-releases of mainline Studio Series Volkswagen Beetle Bumblebee and car mode Dropkick)
Clunker Bumblebee vs. Barricade (re-releases of mainline Studio Series Clunker Bumblebee and Barricade)
High Octane Bumblebee vs. Decepticon Stinger (re-releases of Age of Extinction High Octane Bumblebee in the colors from the "Transformers Tribute" Bumblebee 3-pack and Studio Series Stinger)

War for Cybertron Trilogy Bumblebee & Spike Witwicky (completely new figures)

War for Cybertron Trilogy Origin Bumblebee (completely new figure)

War for Cybertron Trilogy Worlds Collide 4-pack (Nemesis Primal, Fangry, Bumblebee & Blackarachnia)

Grimlock & Bumblebee aka "Bumblegrim" (redecos of Robots in Disguise Crash Combiners Grimlock and Bumblebee from the two-pack with Sideswipe)

Cyberverse Spark Armor:
Bumblebee & Trash Crash (re-release from Bumblebee & Ocean Storm and redeco from Grimlock & Trash Crash)
Megatron & Chopper Cut (re-release)

Evergreen Warrior Multipack: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron & Starscream (Cyberverse re-releases)

Age of Extinction Mega 1-Step Bumblebee (re-release)

The latest entry is a new wave of Studio Series Deluxe Class figures... well, actually, it turns out these are technically not "wave 2" - they're assortment #2.

The original Buzzworthy Bumblebee Studio Series Deluxe Class assortment was F1280.

This one is F3927.

Hasbro has got some real jerks working for them, going to all the trouble of creating a new line at retail just to make me buy Earthrise Cliffjumper again.

 

[Manoiki]

Mmmmm... more Cliffjimper, with painted windows. I'm diggin' the painted windows. Sometimes I really don't want to see the inside parts. Or maybe I just don't want to worry about the plastic breaking.

 

[TheSupernova]

This almost feels like a modern take on Reveal the Shield. New molds! Old molds! Movieverse! Classics! A re-release with a blue painted windshield!

All we're missing are rubsigns!

As long as it's just not translucent plastic painted over.

I wish we could get red VW Bee and yellow Cliffjumper in this line. And Glyph and Tapout. Pretty much Bee and CJ in every color of the rainbow.

Take your pick:

 

[Shockwave 75]

I've got little to no interest in this line, but I did just get Origin Bee, and he's a brilliant figure! Much like the Siege Seekers & Jetfire, this is a figure that I've waited 30+ years for, and I'm very happy with it.

 

[Donocropolis]

Take your pick:

If I were in charge of things, we would get, AT MINIMUM, Origin Bumblebee repainted into an Animated inspired Pre-Beast Wasp(inator).

 

[Platypus Prime]

In my mind Buzzworthy just sounds so much like an English Butler name that I assume the entire Buzzworthy universe, whatever that is, is adjacent to the Doctor Who universe. Thus, everyone on that Cybertron speaks with a British accent.

The only thing he is missing is a gun to hold, the Jetpack is kind of a odd choice of accessory, the rods I can understand but a Jetpack? The only other question, is, when do we see a origins Wheeljack, based upon his first appearance in G1 and have the boxy alt mode?

 

[Shadewing]

He's got a gun.

 

[Superomegaprime]

He's got a gun.

(goes and checks packing)

I honestly, didn't see that in the packing as it was right down in the corner, where the fold in the cardboard is, but then, I'm use to my figures being in plastic shells or at least have their weapons seeable directly, then, I guess I wasn't really paying attention! Now, are you going to tell me that the packing is hiding a Jacky based on his G1 pre-earth appearance?

 

[Donocropolis]

I do appreciate how Origin Bee's jetpack is made to fit nicely on any of the other Bee/Cliffjumper molds as well.

I'm reminded now of Buzz Killington from Family Guy, only I suppose this would be "Buzz Worthington."

Yeah, the jet pack is an odd choice, but he did use one in the Dinobot Island two-parter.

 

[Superomegaprime]

Yeah, the jet pack is an odd choice, but he did use one in the Dinobot Island two-parter.

That would of been a good idea to include if they were doing his G1 cartoon, Earth form look

 

[Sabrblade]

Yay, they fixed Kup's vehicle mode deco:

 

[RCX]

And swapped out the Bayverse insignia in favor of the classic one.

 

[The Predaking]

Is that a new background for Kup?
