Or its an Italian GiG Red Bumblebee. I've read they're out there.

It could also be a pre-rub G1 Red Bumblebee, too. There is an article on the blog Transformers One that has a pre-rub Red Bumblebee with a rather messy looking sticker, too. The Yellow Bumblebee is a bit messy as well.

Transformers One wrote:The first pre-rub Bumblebees shared the same copyright stamping as the Takara Micro Change Volkswagen, "TAKARA JAPAN" in a circle underneath the left foot. This copyright then changed to a 3-line Takara stamping that featured country of manufacture and dates, still in the pre-rub era of releases. The above picture shows both stamping variants for the pre-rub G1 Bumblebee.

This is an item I am going to list in my eBay store. Just not sure how to list it properly to cover the bases here. How accurate does this description sound to you guys?

"The red Bumblebee figure in this listing appears to be an early version of the Bumblebee mold with only the Takara stamp on it (no Hasbro stamp is on the figure). It is unknown if the Autobot sticker is original or not since this item came in a large collection I bought about 6 years ago. This toy comes with a custom box that is a little flimsy. The interior foam appears to be discolored. Please do not make any assumptions about this item. If you have any questions, please ask before buying. Thank you!"

That sounds very fair to me. I've had wonky Autobot stickers myself in the past (and blue Decepticon logos) and they've always been from the very early 80s runs of the toys, so I'm personally convinced this is 100% legit pre-rub, but you've got yourself fully covered here.

Yeah, that sounds fine. As long as you aren't making any claims they can use the photos to form their own opinion.

Here's how the listing ended up: https://www.ebay.com/itm/RED-BUMBLEBEE- ... Sw~8JcWhmd

Let me know if you guys think I should change something. It looks like I didn't take a picture of the backside of the figure (so you can see the sticker on the back of his head), so I'll need to update that accordingly in the near future.

A user emailed Seibertron.com asking one this toy is. Anyone have any suggestions?

I think this goes with an RID Optimus but not sure which one.

It might be the one that comes with just the plain old regular Warrior class figure, but I thought that one's axe was a bit more orange than yellow. Yet, all the other releases of the mold either came with blue or black axes, from what I can tell.

Yeah, it cant be that one since its one of the few toys from that line I dont own. Is it certain to come from RID though?

Yup. Warrior Class Prime had that axe:

Who do these guns belong to?

The left one is the engine block belonging to either Universe Sunstreaker or Sideswipe.

It's flat grey, so it's either Sunstreaker or Gen. Red Alert. Sideswipe's is white painted silver.

The purple gun belongs to Gen. GDO Powerdive.

Thanks, it was red alert's.

As for the other gun, it was one of Leader Megatron's. Totally forgot he came with smaller guns (that combine).

Anyways, I have 2 more. One is a small piece that looks like an exhaust port. I forget who that goes with.

The other is a red gun, probably from Titans Return but I dont know from who.

Got some new parts lots to complete figures for the Seibertron Store. The parts in these pictures are ones I don't recognize. Some of them are definitely Transformers parts/missiles/accessories (mostly in pic 1 and 2), but some are definitely not (mostly in pic 3). Any help sorting these out would be greatly appreciated my fellow Seibertronians! Thanks in advance.

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

Both of the Ys go to Bandai Digimon Digivolving Birdramon (yellow stripes are on the other side, hair is on the back)

W goes to the Transwarp Megazord action figure

C goes to Voyager Drift

S goes to RID yellow Grimlock (you can tell by the black feet)

D goes to Deluxe MechTech Laserbeak

E: Lego Bionicle pieces assembled, but not sure from which set

K: Armada Blurr's lower leg

M and N: My gut is telling me that these are from some Power Rangers toy, but I don't know which

P: A Lego propeller piece

R: Lego Bionicle "Kakama" mask belonging to the character named Huki/Hewkii. This mask saw two releases. First as part of Huki's McDonald's Happy Meal release in 2001, and later in 2003 when Hewkii was given a new toy at mass retail.

S: Lego Bionicle shell carapace cover piece belonging to the Bohrok species called Tahnok

X: The wings belonging to Digivolving Silphymon from Bandai's Digimon line, part of the Season 2 series.

AA: The chestplate belonging to Warp-Digivolving Gallantmon Chaos Mode from Bandai's Digimon line, part of the Season 4 series (redecoed from the very limited-release Warp-Digivolving Gallantmon Crimson Mode of the Season 3 series, which was also rereleased but equally limited in the Season 4 series)

AB: One of Armada Unicron's ring connector pieces

AC: Lego Bionicle piece

AD: Lego piece, likely from the same Bionicle set as AC

AG: Lego Bionicle mask, don't know which, though

B: I feel like I should know what these are, but they're escaping me. I'm pretty sure they're Transformers pieces, though

F: Lego Bionicle piece

G: I feel like I should know what this is, but it's escaping me. I'm pretty sure it's a Transformers piece, though

L: Lego Technic rod piece, Bionicle sets used lots of these little pieces

P: Lego Bionicle piece

O: I feel like I should know what this is, but it's escaping me. I'm pretty sure it's a Transformers piece, though

V: Lower arm of the Walmart yellow-and-black redeco of RiD 2001 Heavy Load

W: I'm positive that this is a Transformers piece. I think it was used as some figure's lower torso flap

Y: Very positive that this is a Transformers piece, possibly part of a Mini-Con or other small figure

EE: Lego Technic piece, likely used in Bionicle

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for helping me sift through this stuff. You should have seen the original pile of parts that I bought that had hundreds of parts in it. I was able to recognize and identify most parts but then you see a few things here and there that are obviously not Transformers parts and sometimes there are ones that I recognize as Transformers parts but just can't pinpoint it. I have a ginormous 60 - 70 quart tub in my warehouse that has most parts that I save for future collections I buy. I really need to start listing some of those parts on eBay to help thin out this stuff.

I've given up on trying to complete G1 toys for my store. G1 is just a different beast, too expensive and too many variables. But anything Beast Wars through current is fair game to me to buy collections of to sell in my store. I love completing, repairing and restoring figures. It's immensely satisfying to me. Just yesterday, I completed an Energon Starscream and Beast Wars Injector by just organizing the parts that I've had sitting in my warehouse for the past few years (though I was actually trying to complete a Beast Wars Rampage that is in pretty good condition with minor paint chipping ... I'm two missiles shy of completing him, which is how I ended up coming across the parts for the other figures).

@William James ... if that ROTF Megatron part is something you need, send me an email. Thanks!

Group 3 - B goes to AoE Strafe

Group 3 - T is one of Energon Bulkhead's armor's claw pieces.

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2019 10:07 am**

It's finally hit me what Group 3 Piece G is! It's a side door belonging to Transformers: Energon Energon Strongarm (the blue redeco of the normal yellow Strongarm).

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2019 11:26 am**

Few more came to me for Group 3.

Z also goes with Voyager Sky Drift. E belongs to deluxe Scorn. W is the end of Cybertron Scourge's front skirt flap.
