Thanks to Hasbro, we now have a few official photos and a short video of the upcoming Buzzworth Bumblebee "Worlds Collide" 4-Pack featuring Blackarachnia (in her original Beast Wars toy colors), Bumblebee, Fangry and Nemesis Primal!  These figures are due out soon as they have already started hitting stores this week.  Enjoy the video and images below and good luck in hunting them down!
