literally a mini masterpiece, I don't give a damn about the parts forming,its a masterpiece bee for 20 bucks right?,DEFINITELY WOULD MAKE AN INVESTMENT.
Brian Babin besides the facts that they don’t care about the engineering, or remaking Bee and Prime multiple times with the latest versions coming with unneeded accessories to artificially inflate the price. And of course the robot modes looked nice from the from, but it feels like a cardboard cutout
@Optimus prime Fan 555 The partsforming ruins the creativity and puzzle factor in a transformation, and if you loose the piece you lost one of the modes. The partsforming ruins the toy for the kids, and the figure for the collectors.
@@Jazmission True. I'm sure the transit time is increased to England especially with covid. The time from. Asian factories to an Asian reviewer is probably a lot less.
I'm still amazed we have a proper VW Beetle Bee as a mass-release retail figure (walmart exclusive, but still) and that he's the retool of Cliffjumper. 2020 is a weird year, man.
I’m fairly surprised it took them this long to make a bumblesbee, usually it would be the the first thing in the line not in the 2nd/3rd wave of the second toy line
Earthrise Bumblebee rocks from head to toe. From the yellow/black/blue color scheme and to the molded/sculpted design that has been retool in some areas from Cliffjumper. His bazooka weapon seems to big for him though. So I'm planning to switch his with Ironhide's weapon. So Bumblebee would has a small blaster gun, while Ironhide will have the bazooka split into cannons to mount on his arms, to give him a bit of a live action appearance. Well, until the weapon kit arrives.
you know I thought it was a rifle when I first saw it and I thought that kind of makes sense he's not as strong as other Bots so him being able to hang back and snipe people make sense
Studio Series is being expanded to include animated designs, and they're bringing a bunch of '86 movie characters in for the movie's 35th anniversary. Leader class Grimlock (who comes packaged with Wheelie) & Slag (comes with Daniel) are confirmed for the Dinobots so far, along with Hot Rod, Kup etc in smaller size classes.
I bought this one, low key on your recommendation, and I just want you to know that I’m laying on the couch whilst playing with it and rewatching your review for like the third time this week. Cheers.
The Volkswagen Beetle model from Bumblebee will always be my favorite character in the Transformers G1 series, in "Return of Optimus Prime" Part 2 Bumblebee changed his name to Goldbug but still the same Bumblebee we know and loved.
This just beat the Masterpiece 2.0 out of the water, and it's so much like the 1.0 but this one has wrist swivel. So not only is Cliffjumper on my wishlist, but Bumblebee as well together with Prime.
Earthrise and some siege figures are the best masterpiece figures out there even some prime wars characters like rodimus from potp have much better ingenuity than that original masterpiece hot rod and the wfc trilogy figures look way better and have better scale and ingenuity than the the moon figures
When in robot mode, I use the rear pop off piece as a shield using the weapon peg. It looks pretty cool. The bazooka? Ehh... I use the short piece like a pistol.
That’s happening with SS too. I know, Jeep Bumblebee came before Cliffjumper, but, Cliffjumper has come before a Cybertronian Bumblebee, which will be a repaint of Cybertronian Cliffjumper.
Since kingdom is doing earth modes for siege characters who didn't receive one in earthrise, as we see with Ultra Magnus, here is a list of siege characters I want to see get an earth mode in the kingdom line. 1. Sideswipe. 2. Hound 3. Mirage 4. Acid Storm, Ion Storm, and Nova Storm 5. Nemesis Prime 6. Red Alert And now just for an addition , here are characters I want to see get a WFC figure in the kingdom line 1. Brawn 2. Slipstream 3. Slug, Sludge, Snarl and Swoop 4. Blitzwing 5. Windblade
For a few years now, I've wanted to collect a G1-style set of the original 18 1984 Autobots but cannot afford the Masterpiece Editions. The War for Cybertron series is slowly but surely making that dream a reality.
Nice review bro. I really want this figure so badly. I kinda think it looks like a reused of the studio series bumblebee for the vehicle mode at first but I kinda think it's a new figure overall
And now I know you can do the same thing with Cliffjumper's bazooka in his vehicle mode. In all seriousness though, I'm looking forward to this little lad coming out. Glad to hear he's a good remold, and Cliffjumper's one of my favourite WFC figures to handle.
Finally bought him, $42, as the price keeps getting higher and higher. First thing I noticed, I thought the passenger side mirror was broken as it's only on the driver's side. However, it didn't look like it's broken and painted over so this video helped to confirm that he only has 1 side mirror.
I’ve been hesitant about picking up the latest figures from the current mainstream TF line. This is purely a matter of personal preference, but I prefer a certain amount of solidity to my toys-if I’m gonna pay for something, I want the thing to last-and what I see as the current “origami” folding style of transformation makes me a bit nervous. This isn’t to say, I’ve made the knee jerk comment that “these suck,” but more it’s “these maybe aren’t for me...” But dammit, the OG Bumblebee remains one of my characters in any fiction, and I think this video made a great case for my getting hold of one of these! Great review!
Love the War for Cybertron line. Got me started to collect them again and get my son some. Unfortunately had to double dip on some as to collect for mine and get the same copy for him as well. Great line and looking forward to Beast Wars as that's my introduction to Transformers.
I am definitely looking forward to getting the Earthrise version of G1 Bumblebee!!! Thank you again for this highly-anticipated review and information about Earthrise Bumblebee!!!
"Movie masterpiece bumblebee 2.0" no joke I think primevprime just made a concept that I now want, a dark of the moon mpm bumblebee. Which sounds awesome for a 2.0 release
Finally!!! A great review of a fantastically realized VW Bee 👏👏👏 But are we ever going to get a Cybertronian alt mode Bee from either the Bumblebee movie or Siege/Earthrise??? Such frustration!!! 🐝🐝🐝
The frontfenders seem lighter then the rest of the figure but maybe that's due to the clear plastic behind the yellow molded parts? Overall a great figure and i hope i will be able to get him here in the netherlands
The upcoming Selects Bug-Bite is gonna look nice. I would still prefer a green bug with purple windows. I’ve been wanting an earth mode Wasp since Animated was on.
GUYS! They just restocked this guy on Walmart's official website. PRE-ORDERS ARE UP RIGHT NOW! Edit: They just sold out. Thank god i pre-ordered mine before it did.

I changed this because I regret it

Yeah well don’t forget bumbleebe didn’t have a proper toy yet so they couldn’t do much with him
I couldn't agree more, this is best bumblebee we've gotten in a lot of years. Great review as always!

Good man steve well, just look at the generations lines, for combiner wars and power of the primes, we didn’t even get a bumblebee!
I like the fact this line is pretty much a cheaper, better produced masterpiece line that isn’t gonna break the bank.
tgiacin435 agreed
EPICCOGMAN that’s why I’m surprised cause it’s only happened in a few number of lines
Good man steve same
I like this trend of Generations WFC figures being budget masterpiece figures.
This review is literally the final nail in the coffin for my masterpiece collection. eBaying the lot tomorrow. CHUG all the way!!!
I bit random but the original mp bee is more scale accurate to the Netflix show than the Netflix bee . But still the new one is better
Old one is better in my opinion. I got mine two days ago for Xmas 2020 and I am in love
Thank you for showing his gun from the centurion pack!
No problem! :)
A smaller version of the masterpiece but still a lovely Bumblebee
Hasbro: *makes this figure*
Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
This looks better than both MP bumblebees
Idk man the MP21 is better in my opinion
Too bad there’s a big chunk that is just partforming

Yo they should make a earthrise grimlock
They are bringing the Dinobots into the Studio Series 1986 movie line
@@botlovingbeard6708 the studio series 1986 movie toyline? Never heard of that yet..

Who needs masterpieces when you’ve got wfc
I'm okay with parts forming as long as the figure is solid and looks good
Joseph Tucker This guy gets it.
I always pretend that the parts forming a weapon storage
7:30 Remember that scene in The Love Bug, where Herbie splits in two...........................
Bumblebee: appears
Me: ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!
@Starscream91 yep
3:55 "One of the best vehicle modes we have ever gotten" and then he should just end the sentence there.
Now we can FINALLY recreate that scene from Bumblebee
Uh which scene?
The intro
@@skintgirafde320 um we would need a remolds of ss cliffjumper to make it accurate tho but still
Falak Hassan we got WFC ER Cliff
@@skintgirafde320 nope we need the vehicle mode too and the accurate robot mode
The only reason they gave him that giant bazooka is so they meet the plastic quota to charge the deluxe class price, because Bee is so undersized.
Now, THAT'S the Bumblebee I know and love!
My favorite versions of Bee:
1. Prime
2. G1
3. Bumblebee movie
4. Animated
5. Fall of Cybertron
Nade Coles that's awesome. The G1 is probably always gonna be my favorite.

Me to
Me three!
Me four!

Me 9
I generally avoid Bumblebee. But I really like the transformation, and I really like the VW beetle. I may very well try to get him.
“The masterpiece one has huge feet while the Netflix one handles that better.”
Excuse me?
This is a mini Masterpiece and you know what else is masterpiece? This Channel!!
this is a budget masterpiece
Dude, you really explain so good how to transform
Ah thanks! Glad it helps
Im disappointed that he doesnt have the Autobot symbol on his chest/car roof, but otherwise he looks great!
Masterpiece needs to be taking notes

But not as good as MP21
@@JethammerTakeoff moon figures?
Come on Hasbro, ask Disney for a license to remold this into Herbie for the Collaboration line.

Just came a week ago
Transformers war for Cybertron line is becoming mini masterpieces and maybe better than them .Almost every figure is outstanding.
YES FINALLY A FIGURE THAT I LIKE AND THAT I CAN AFFORD! Awesome review.
Thank you! :)
4:16, nice to see that you found the antenna for your ER Arcee.
Great review BTW.
I did! Haha & thank you! :)
No problem, PvP!
Hope CJ's upgrade kit is compatible with BB, that kit was amazing IMO
I was hesitant to get bee but watching full review from you, I'm gonna find and get him no matter the cost.
Love seeing Bumblebee back to his spiritual scale. Still washing the taste of that muscle car Bee craze out of my mouth.
Im wondering if you just break in to hasbros hq every now and then
When in robot mode, I use the rear pop off piece as a shield using the weapon peg. It looks pretty cool. The bazooka? Ehh... I use the short piece like a pistol.
Cliffjumper used to be the recolor, but now bumblebee is the recolor. That's ironic.
That’s happening with SS too. I know, Jeep Bumblebee came before Cliffjumper, but, Cliffjumper has come before a Cybertronian Bumblebee, which will be a repaint of Cybertronian Cliffjumper.
This new series transformations are just amazing! Great job Takara and Hasbro!
Best G1 Bumblebee! I never liked the Titan´s Return one! This is a must have!

Bumblebee- your fighting to win and that's going to get all killed
My Cliffjumper’s shoulder paint is chipping from the transformation. Glad they didn’t paint them on Bee.
Me too!
Same!
Fans: Cliffjumper was always a repaint
of bumblebee. WE WANT CLIFF IN HIS OWN MODE !!! Earthrise: don’t worry! Now bumblebee is a retool! Fans: yay...
FINALLY! Also Damn, Boi! Arcee is *THICC* in vehicle mode!

@@PrimeVsPrime you're welcome bro. Keep up the good work
If part's forming makes a better Robot and Alt mode, then why not?

In all seriousness though, I'm looking forward to this little lad coming out. Glad to hear he's a good remold, and Cliffjumper's one of my favourite WFC figures to handle.
Isn't Bumblebee one of the main and popular character? And why are they making him exclusive? How will fans from other country going to collect him?

I wish they wouldn't have painted him. Now you have to worry about chipping. And I wish they gave him a smaller weapon.
Flaws: nothing
Flawless: everything
Weapons: good with add on gun
Bumblebee: 10/10
Wow, this is so much better than Iron Hide. Do they really have no quality control over there?

I thought that Bumblebee wouldn't be a good figure, but he looks great! Good review
Considering this is presumably a licensed VW Beetle product, they probably objected to the idea of having a hole on the roof, hence it’s removal.
$100 dollars cheaper than the masterpiece 2.0, but 100 times better
Completely agree!
The bazooka was long ago featured in the Dream Wave comic Transformers Ongoing#2. Bumblebee is pointing it pointblank at Bruticus
The frontfenders seem lighter then the rest of the figure but maybe that's due to the clear plastic behind the yellow molded parts?
Overall a great figure and i hope i will be able to get him here in the netherlands
Looks better than all of the MP bee's! Excellent video! God bless
Thank you! :)
Can I just say how nice it is to have a non movie transformer that turns into a real life vehicle?
The upcoming Selects Bug-Bite is gonna look nice. I would still prefer a green bug with purple windows. I’ve been wanting an earth mode Wasp since Animated was on.
Now if we could just get an Earth Rise Jazz with this level of awesomeness!
It would be indeed!
I still think it is hilarious that this time bumblebee is a repaint of cliffjumper lol
Hope to find Bumblebee for myself soon, just got Cliffjumper and love it
This figure looks amazing and the only thing that could make it better is if they do a redeco of it as Goldbug.
GUYS! They just restocked this guy on Walmart's official website. PRE-ORDERS ARE UP RIGHT NOW!
Edit: They just sold out. Thank god i pre-ordered mine before it did.
Great figure. Already got it on pre-order.
Never going to use the weapon mode on the back in vehicle mode.
Autobot sign on the foot instead of chest is a miss. I hope they release under Studio 86 line and get it right this time.
Bumblebee : hey optimus
Optimus prime : yes b127
Bumblebee : i got a figure of me
Optimus prime : me too
Would love to get this, surprisingly this would be my first transformable bumblebee figure.
All right kiddies! Make sure to buy that backpack connecter to true make this a MASTERPIECE
This bumblebee is awesome 🤩 a masterpiece for a cheaper price and definitely worth buying I love him a lot
Can't wait to pick this one up once he comes in stock
Such a small, simple transformation, yet sellers on eBay are asking for $65.00.... COMPLETELY OUTRAGEOUS!!!
Great review! Just got mine. Can't wait for my Ironhide and Soundwave. 😄
I'm not into partformers but c'mon, a beetle Bumblebee with a really nice looking robot mode, definitely gonna get it.
