That pairing sounds nice enough, but I wish they would just make a damn Ricochet from this mold already. Preferably with opaque plastic, but having this exist at all would be nice.

Richochet has a great color scheme, so yeah, that would definitely be my preference, too.
Description of the contents of the 4 pack from nune at TFW:
3 Deluxes:
Bumper
Ultra Magnus (guessing white inner robot from Devestation Prime) EDIT: OH! Or Deluxe "Missing Link-esque" Prime! That I would absolutely love
Horri-Bull
and Voyager Animated Nemesis Prime
I was just thinking yesterday about how ridiculous it was that in this, the year of our Lord 2025, we still hadn't gotten a Bumper figure.

These two were the first ones known about in the set. It's the other two who are the new reveals.
*sigh* Another four-pack I have to buy to get the one character I want (Bumper), the one character I guess I don't mind (Horri-bull), and two characters I basically have no need for.
I'm in for all four of these. Especially if that Magnus is out of the Legacy United G1 Op.
Yeah, I need a first ever official Bumper toy and a Horrible to finish off the 88 Con Headmasters.
The other two are collateral damage to my wallet.
-ZacWilliam, now PLEASE 88 Autobot Headmasters and Omnibots Hasbro.

That's a whole lot of Autobot Headmasters in Omnibots.
Bada-ba-ba-ba, I'm lovin' it!
EDIT: Wait a minute, Bumper still has the Volkswagen hood feet. That's not right for his altmode. The hood feet are the main aspect of the mold besides the head that everyone expected to be retooled into different hood feet for other non-Bumblebee uses of the mold.
As I expected:
Neutral, NEED, NEED, Don't particularly want.
I've bought worse. Now let me order it.
-ZacWilliam, nothing wrong with the Ani-Nemi I just havnt been collecting those figures. Still He'll be interesting/new to fiddle with in that case...

Oh, you will LOVE him. The Legacy Animated Optimus mold is amazing. One of the best molds of the entire three-year line.
And sold. When is this due out? If it's tomorrow, that's not soon enough. Gimme it now.
That Animated Nemesis is a lovely update to the maddening-to-get original. I hope Horri-bull isn't as floppy as the Skullsmasher mold (that got fixed around the Retro use right?). And the Magnus is gorgeous and from a fun mold so I'm happy to get it.
I appreciate that Bumper is SS86 based, because the custom I made is from a spare Selects Hubcap and they can hang out. Or I may just give this head to that and use this as something else idk.
Is the SS86 Bumblebee head swappable with the WfC Bumblebee/Cliffjumper/Hubcap mold? I think I'll be happy with this Hubcap, but if they are swappable, I might be tempted to put his head on Worlds Collide Bumblebee. It's one of the spare toys from that pack that I didn't really want, but now have anyway. Then again, I might just not bother. The front end isn't right, but otherwise the SS86 mold always looked more like Bumper than Bumblebee to me.
Anyway, Horri-Bull is the one I really want here. Bumper is a nice bonus. I have no real interest in the other two.

The ball joint size matching is purely a wishful assumption on my part (also partly so the custom doesn't go to waste or need much reworking). But you're right, no real problem keeping this Bumper as is. The look and proportions of the car bits are a good fit. And I guess since I can avoid the detaching trunk, it's preferable.
But wow, this set. Worlds better than my of the 4packs so far. (And some were kinda nice.) But the Nemesis I wanted from this mold, the last of the 'con headmasters, a white cab Magnus (always welcome), and the first-ever official Bumper figure?
I haven't made pitiful grabby hands at my screen this intensely since... well, the AOTP Excellion reveal.
