So glad the doors/wings are not clear plastic. And the galleries are looking better every new review! Pretty cool how SS' first fig was bumblebee, nice way for the 100th to call back to the first fig
Tell me about it I got Revenge of the Fallen Bumblebee for Christmas and I can safely say that almost 50% of him is clear plastic and at that size with the complexity of his transformation yeah I'm not going to touch him for a while I'm going to still pose him and make him look cool but no I expect him to shatter on me any day now
You and Emgo are my favourite reviewers. I enjoy how you're able to provide criticism with such a positive attitude and vocal tone. Whether the review is good or bad, I always leave feeling good about life. 😂
I was hesitant on this guy at first but the new leg transformation honestly sold me, I have almost every SS bumblebee so having one that breaks up the monotony is really nice
This is definitely the best studio series bumblebee figure I seen, I’m glad the doors don’t have clear plastic. This figure definitely deserves a upgrade kit and a repaint. Great review like always :)
I’m as cautiously optimistic seeing the trailer but The Bumblebee and Battletrap figures have hyped me up so much for the new movie!! Can’t wait for my preorders to get here.
My problem with almost every other bumblebee is that during transformation, tabs had to align perfectly and often felt fiddly. This SS100 Bee is just an easy transformation, no mess or fuss. I love it!
Whoa! Great review. The ROTB bumblebee just released in one store in India. It’s not even a preorder, it’s just there!!! Anyone from India watching, Toycra has him in Stock! Watch this exquisite review first tho!!!!
The whole issue with this guy’s paint isn’t that he’s lacking it, but that this time around, instead of moulding in silver then painting it yellow like previous bumblebee figures or having his limbs be silver with separate yellow layers, he’s been moulded in yellow and painted silver which means a lot more paint is used for the limbs than usual. The lack of dual layers is also probably how this guy has better articulation and a simpler transformation than say the dotm bumblebee or the cybertron figure
I can’t even believe how easy he makes transforming it look I’ve been crying my face off in my room trying to snap the hood in place to no avail and now the plastic has dents where I’ve been trying to snap it together and at this point I’m so close to giving up trying to transform it ALL I WANNA SEE IS IT AS A CAR IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK FOR
This is such a good figure I went on a hunt for the takara version today I went to 3 different stores and when I finally went to Walmart it looked like they didn’t have it but I noticed that it looked like someone tried to hide a night bird so I thought to look under the shelf and I just saw his face. I gotta say it was worth all the driving
I love how even without looking the comparison to the 2007 movie figure Bumblebee's robot mode looks like he is a small Transformer! Such a shame about those paint apps, but I love the improvements to the doors!
@@MicrowaveableLemon I think it'd be pretty cool. Especially for complete collectors that get every character. And to get some neat poses next to SS devastator.
Well, the head isn't actually that inaccurate. If you look closely in the trailer when we get the shot of bumblebee transforming, we can see that he now has some yellow under his eyes.
Love the honesty in your reviews. I have to give it to you. I believe you’re the best reviewer on Transformers. Whether they are G1, G1 inspired, or Bayverse, you keep it real & professional. Keep up the good work. Cheers 🍻
Regarding the blaster being cast in yellow plastic but then fully painted in gunmetal, it'll be purely down to "sprue balancing" during the manufacturing process. It's not just about fitting as much as you can on a particular sprue but also making sure that the melted plastic flows smoothly and evenly and that each component on a sprue has the perfect draught angle to pull from the mold without catching. There is just so much that goes into engineering plastic kits/toys that the average end user has no idea about. Ultimately it's a costing balance between number of sprues (and therefor colours of plastic), the number of componets and their distribution on each sprue, and the final paint apps that the budget can then cover.
@@PrimeVsPrime No problem! I work in an adjacent industry (sculpting little minis for tabletop gaming) and the difficulties/restrictions/compromises of producting any sort of comercial multi-part kit or toy in plastic are both endlessly fascinating and frustrating ;)
So turns out gmc was actually selling him and battletrap yesterday on there website and I actually managed to get bee ordered right before he sold out! I’m so excited to get this guy
This has to be one of the best Bumblebee figures in Studio Series. The car mode is great too, it has the aesthetic of Shatter & Dropkick. Edit: A lot of people being butthurt that I like this figure lmao 💀
This is definitely my favourite Bumblebee design! I love this camaro and this is basically a better version of the 2007 1970 camaro bumblebee, so this is my favourite Bumblebee design!
Great review and so is the deluxe. New projects with clear parts inserts are how things should have been done from the start. Simplier transformation also works better since SS deluxes were really spindly with not much place for parts when transforming. Looks cool but I just might get Terrorcons and WFC bots from SS in 2023 and skip rest.
Because i do not have any Studio series Bumblebee from beginning in my Transformers collection, so i definitely 💯 percent pick up this one, Rise of the Beasts Bumblebee attempt how amazing this newest design on this Bumblebee between his robot mode 🤖 and his super cool alt mode 😁. Despite have minus issue on this figure, however i still like this new Bumblebee 😃. I love very aggressive looking when Bumblebee transform into his alt mode, very perfect to roll in battle 💪😄. Cannot wait to watch Transformers Rise of the Beasts and cannot wait to grab Rise of the Beasts Bumblebee soon 😊. Great job, PrimevsPrime 🤗.
If I’m not mistaken, the unpainted blade was a last minute throw in for this version of Bumblebee. It was originally meant for a later Bumblebee figure from what the designers stated. If I were a betting man, I’d say we’ll get another shot at the classic camaro Bumblebee with a more Bumblebee 2018 stylised head. I think this because in the trailer (with the exception of the scene with Cheetor) Bumblebee is only in the camaro form from the end of Bumblebee 2018. It wouldn’t be too far fetched to think that they’ll make a figure of that version with a painted version of the blade that comes with this one
Solid Bumblebee figure, and interesting update. Been wanting a decent/well produce classic Camaro Bee for a while as the only one I ever got was the original from the 2007 movie. Nice to see non painted doors for once, and really like the straight forward transformation where everything fits/slots properly in pace and doesn't doesn't need to be force puzzled into place.
I might get get it as well as some silver and chrome paints for the face and rally fog lights even though he’ll be spending most of his time in robot mode anyway. It is a good looking figure it’s just a shame about certain things but I like him
Have you ever find a coincidence that bumblebee was the first figure introduced in studio series as number one and bumblebee is now the 100th figure so far?
Honestly dotm bee and now this one are Honestly my favorite bee molds. The dotm has that amazing spoiler and stripes and this one's mold just looks so accurate despite the paint problems
Dude I’ve never been so geeked for a bumblebee figure in a while it looks so clean. Only miner issues I have is I wish he was the same color as the B-127 figure and the armors kibble in the car mode but either way solid figure.
Thank you for this video I’m glad I came across it. It helped me. I have never had transformers before and I got my first one today and figured it out. Thanks to you.
Looks so much better in hand! The head paint is kind of accurate as he does have more yellow on his head sculpt but agree it still needed some silver around the eyes. Joints are super tight, quality is brilliant. 100 up with style 👍
Loving these new figures. Im old enough to be G1 original. beast wars was never my thing but have to admit im looking forward to the movie beast figures.
wow this is awesome! an incredible model and mold for bumblebee! maybe the best one yet. So glad the roof doesnt fold into an ugly backpack that is visible like the others. the finger articulation is sad but it makes up in the transformation process and no fake chest
He looks like as a remold of studio series 01 bumblebee, but he has a few details from rise of the beasts. Including those few details come from bumblebee movie
Now that mention this design seems to take its aspects in terms of head designs from that picture of Bumblebee you showed, there didn’t seem to be as much metalic grey on that designs face which was probably this toy doesn’t have it either
So glad the doors/wings are not clear plastic. And the galleries are looking better every new review! Pretty cool how SS' first fig was bumblebee, nice way for the 100th to call back to the first fig

Transformation and blaster sound effects at 4:42...pretty damn good! 🤣 Love it.

That impression of the handcanon transforming was spot on tbh
This and animated prowl made my boring sunday better. Thanks as always pvp!
I have not been a big fan of the bumblebees that have come out that are not strictly G1 but this is probably the best bumblebee I’ve seen so far!!!!
Him having the tail lights on his ankles brings to mind how 2007 Bee's concept art has tail lights for toes.
i love the backpack kibble management. its not invisible its just really flush and polished

This is going to be a must buy for me for 2023.
I've been watched this video so many times and now I'm finally getting the figure and I'm so excited it looks amazing😀
Im soooo glad we have a new bumblebee. As a new transformers fan, im glad i can get a figure of my favroute auto bot

I've never been interested in any bumblebee figures before. I might pick this up and paint the missing details myself
I’m so happy I’m getting in five days on my bday yay!
4:26 PVP calls every shade of grey gunmetal grey😂
Your intros got me looking all over for a decently priced marvel legends black widow.
This offroad bee goes well with the shatter and dropkick car modes...
This mold is crazy good, and simple too. Really hoping they go back and use this for older ones like bug bee and the bayverse ones too
This has to be one of the best Bumblebee figures in Studio Series. The car mode is great too, it has the aesthetic of Shatter & Dropkick.

@@kairiley8520 Exactly. Look at the lack of paint on this thing. When compared to the previous Studio Series Bees, it looked so cheap.
Bro this thing sucks ass. Not even close to any other bee in ss. Underarticulated and looks cheap asf.
Best SS bee figure till date, embodies all the previous figures and is delivered well!
This is definitely my favourite Bumblebee design! I love this camaro and this is basically a better version of the 2007 1970 camaro bumblebee, so this is my favourite Bumblebee design!
I really like this design too! It’s basically a mashup of bumblebee across the live action films
this would probably end up being one of my favorite bumblebee toys
Thanks for the tutorial for bumblebee because I got him today and optimus prime rise of the beasts Thanks dude keep up the good work 😎😎😎🔥🔥🔥
So it's nostalgic that studio series 1 and studio series 100 bumblebee are of the same old camaro (except rotb is off road mode)
The kibble management on this is honestly pretty good
