his size is in perfect scale. i've never been a fan of the G1 minibots.. but MP bumblebee has definitely made me want more masterpiece minibots. hopefully we get cliffjumper soon. i'd be very interested to see what sort of alt mode he'd have. also.. the round thing that attaches to bumblebee's back is there because he had it in the cartoon. lastly.. i'm almost positive that the head sculpt is daniel, not spike. if you lined up the head with screen shots of daniel and spike, to me, it most definitely resembles daniels head.
I'm a little disappointed you didn't yell out "Give me your face!!!" as you tried to remove bee's faceplate, lol! Great review as always! Thank you, Peaugh!
I may be mistaken, but it looks like there is a groove in the spare wheel so you can store the license plate when you put the spare tire on Bumblebee's back.
I don't know if I can justify paying that hefty price tag for such a small figure but at the same time I really need me one of these, he is just so cute
I had the same thoughts. I got him and Wheeljack and I was looking more forward Wheeljack but one they both came out of the boxes bumblebee just lit me up! I like Wheeljack a lot and I'm glad I got him but he wasn't everything I hoped for
I like the G1 style, but the awful chest treatment & Bayverse Camaro yellow really bum me out. I wonder if they'll re-release him in classic yellow - if not, could be a huge opportunity for the KO producers. That & getting rid of the awful raised insignia.
I'm not exactly feeling that transformation process for Bee, it looks even more annoying than the old Classics one ever was with all the tabbing & untabbing going on. I like how the car doors make the back of his feet, though, that's pretty sweet. Hopefully the hip joints aren't all awkward like some larger MPs that make'em a bit difficult to stand up completely straight *glares at Starsaber*, because I think this seems like an awesome figure. (And, the face molds stink, they don't look anything like the anime...the Classics Bee did a better job with that, even if Bee never had a goatee before!) Finally, you've scored another awesome review, peaugh!!
I don't know...I guess for nostalgia's sake and the cartoon feel this Bee is ok, but I much prefer my Henkei Bee. A slight modernization of the G1 characters feels more logical to keep it off the 80s time. So my CHUG collection is as it is, the only thing is my MP 10 that sits well with them and that is as it should, cus Prime feels modern although the cab is from the 80s.Another thing I don't like about this Bee is the face, it looks weird, not the childish look it had on the show, look kind of constipated. But cool transformation, wish that Spike/Daniel could be bought separately for my collection.
something about this i really dont like. i dunno, i mean i never really got many bees...when i was a kid my bumblebee was the pretender one. now that i'm older i got the classics one and i really haven't gotten a bee since. for whatever reason i just dont like his molds....though i would have gotten a herbie version.....
WHAT THE FUCK?????? THE MASTERPIECE IS SMALLER THAN THE CLASSIC????? Wheeljack is a 1000 times more awesome than that thing and thats spike right there. Daniel never was teamed with Bee, so why would we call him Daniel. Daniel was Wheelie's companion. Spike was Bee's boyfriend
KingOfHalla The robot is in scale, the car however is not. Imo it would be better if they've made BB a head taller, so that the car would be a bit bigger as well.
i think fans have forgoten in transformers 1986 movie spike is shown were the exosuit on moon base 2 to at the start of the movie
I believe the model of Beetle used is actually a pre-1967 version, after 1967 they started adding two wing mirrors, before that they only had one.

soulofhiroshi There is.
So great to see VW finnaly approved this! Now maybe we might also get a Porche 911 for MP Jazz
I'm a bit upset that the wrist does not pivot. There were other smaller deluxe toys that had it.
the licence plate can also be stored inside the spare tire which is handy.
I guess there is a cliff jumper coming out later just like the lambo brothers lol
You can actually push the pin in so that you can install the passenger mirror of you'd like. I did it for my Bumblebee.
Optibotimus had frequent problems with Spike's right elbow ball joint as well.
I'd buy the Herbie repaint in a heartbeat. Oh well, maybe reprolabels will come out with some stickers for a DIY Herbie repaint.
Not quite Spike, not quite Daniel, he is clearly... Spaniel.
Dike
Emm Kitten I'm depressed I can only thumbs up your comment once.
He does have a waist swivel as well.
I don't know if I can justify paying that hefty price tag for such a small figure but at the same time I really need me one of these, he is just so cute
Why didn't you bring out the Universe Legends version of Bee?
It's actually neither Spike nor Daniel - it's John Larroquette circa the Night Court years.
No Mention of Daniel on the box. It says he's Spike. Face looks more like Daniel to e\me though.
Surprised the tail lights didn't fold into the empty space on the forearms. Just makes sense to me...
Other than that, looks rad.
I had the same thoughts. I got him and Wheeljack and I was looking more forward Wheeljack but one they both came out of the boxes bumblebee just lit me up! I like Wheeljack a lot and I'm glad I got him but he wasn't everything I hoped for
does bumblebee mp-21 fits with roller at the same time in mp-10 trailer?
What about movie verse/Bayformers Bee from TF1 to TF4? :p Would be interesting to compare with MP Bee.
Not a super beetle, super beetles have curved windshields, he's just a Beetle. You're welcome..
What I be able to buy the faceplate separate??
Mine came in the mail today . Unfortunately my daughter says I can't open him till Christmas ! My wait continues ..
Thanks for the review Peaugh! Are you going to review Maketoys Utopia?
5 Bumblebees in a row? It's just like the pegs at the store! ;p
It's chip, he's not crippled anymore
Great review.
Nice review, quick and concise! I really dug that lineup of Bees. Are you aware you lost a mirror piece on Wheeljack, though?
Ribieconvoy I am now.
Overtime you just call him "Bumble", I think of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. xD
isnt tat daniel ?
I want MP Cliffjumper, especially if he actually looks like a Porsche 924.
what happend to Wheeljack.. he is missing a rearview mirror..
DarkWickedGamer It just fell off in the bag I brought him to work in and I didn't notice. It's been found and replaced.
oh I see.. so now Wheeljack is whole again? :D that's good to hear :D
Best bee ever
I like the G1 style, but the awful chest treatment & Bayverse Camaro yellow really bum me out. I wonder if they'll re-release him in classic yellow - if not, could be a huge opportunity for the KO producers. That & getting rid of the awful raised insignia.

Pretty sure that Daniel
pretty sure it's not
I'll name him Spaniel.

Not sure if this is masterpiece quality.
SPIKE!
something about this i really dont like. i dunno, i mean i never really got many bees...when i was a kid my bumblebee was the pretender one. now that i'm older i got the classics one and i really haven't gotten a bee since. for whatever reason i just dont like his molds....though i would have gotten a herbie version.....
He could even be Sam
Bumblebee es camaro no un pinche bocho

Moaroe shit ill never afort
I still like ToyWorld's better. I can't quite place why though...
WHAT THE FUCK?????? THE MASTERPIECE IS SMALLER THAN THE CLASSIC?????
Wheeljack is a 1000 times more awesome than that thing
and thats spike right there. Daniel never was teamed with Bee, so why would we call him Daniel. Daniel was Wheelie's companion. Spike was Bee's boyfriend
He's in scale, what do you expect?
KingOfHalla
The robot is in scale, the car however is not. Imo it would be better if they've made BB a head taller, so that the car would be a bit bigger as well.
why has made this figure in this horrible orange color and not yellow? !!!!!!!
It'd yellow.
it's not the cartoon yellow accurate!! the toyworld Bumblebee figure is perfect
