I feel like in this case it’s done poorly but I’ve seen figures where the window piece is separate from the door and the whole thing isn’t clear. Not having the hinge and load baring piece be clear plastic while also having the window clear and more realistic seems like best case scenario for me. If only every figure had that budget
The hinge that connects the lower body to the backpack needs so be horizontal to the figure in order for the torso tab to line up and make a proper connection. I had the issue aswell and that was my fix
The way the wheels are transferred from traditional car to robot mode on this figure should be done on every movie bumblebee moving forward or just bumble bees that are like this
I love this figure man, in a see of people dunking on it, I'm the lone ranger that protects it. It has its issues, but it's such a refreshing and fun Bumblebee, completely different to any deluxe movie Bees that have come out in years. And a great size too! I'm pretty proud that I was the first person in the world to review the figure, that never happens 😏
it does some cool stuff, the wheels on the back is actually great, but everything else about this thing is just so much worse than the studio series figure to the points its just like why even make this thing.
There’s a Revenge of the Fallen 2 pack from back in the day, had the first ROTF Deluxe Bee and Legends Grindor. Grindor was in a cool tan and orange color scheme but the relevant part to the video is Bumblebee had a green torso and green highlights on the vehicle- and mint green windows like ROTB Bee has. The paint mismatch on the doors (the only painted part of this plastic, the windshield and back window were separate pieces) was insane. That green destroys Bumblebee’s yellow matching
I really wish this design had gotten the SS budget, if it had better legs that maybe integrated more of the back of the car to reduce the backpack, tweaked tolerances and better paint matching it'd be easily the better one, the weapon integration is genious, just like the way it deals with the front wheels. Still, as it is, I see it as a mould with a lot of potential, the whole line makes me wanna learn how to paint, but that also means that they should be even cheaper.
Definite pass for me as for the price Studio Series has this beat. Armada Hotshot also has the color match issue. And though it doesn't show as badly in person, through a camera you can really see the mismatch between the painted plastic, and molded plastic on the Leader Scourge. Still really a fan of that DOTM Bee.
I really wish they incorporated the wheel transformation into the SS mold. I feel like his wing/wheel transformation hasn’t changed since 2010 HFTD. I think the 07 deluxe mold still has the best door wing and front tire placement. It was the only version of Bee, that I remember, that had the wings fan out close to his spine.
I love the chunkiness of the car mode here. Beefier tires... he feels more off-roady compared to the Studio Series. But that paint mismatch. UGH. This would be a more stellar figure if they just ditched the translucent plastic.
Honestly the colour mismatch looks like not only the paint is too thin but not even the right shade of yellow to begin with regardless of the colour of the clear plastic.
Nah, you cant see the difference on the camera screen but it defintely shows up in the video...its really really bad! Glad I just got the Studio Series!
This mold is actually really good, if u have the money and your willing to do it, just repaint it. Maybe do some customising like removing the back kibble and definitely fix the vehicle paint job. I plan on doing this on the copy I’m gonna get so wish me luck! (Also I can use blue tack to stick the tabs in so they won’t get lose)
Im still baffled by how mainline can get the wheels on the back and Studio series cant. It buggs me so much how they stick out that they cant just add a hinge to flip the wheels in a bit.
The day we get a backpackless classic camaro bumblebee will be the day hell freezes over. I feel like the first, inaccurate-to-the-finalized-design bee from the first bayformers was the best kibble-distribution-wise and it's somehow been downhill from there
I highly doubt you see this, but I want to say I love you. I love your videos. I love your style. I love your comedy. You have been such an awesome and positive impact on my life and you have helped me get through a lot of tough times in my life. Keep doing what you do. And keep having fun.😊
What with the Studio Series and Mainline ROTB figures coming out around the same time I'm torn as to which versions of certain characters to go for.... this at least makes my mind up for Deluxe Bumblebee, but what at Cheetor and Airazor?
welp.. its the closest to the studio series bcuz there isnt even a studio series bumblebee ive only really saw the studio series airazor and cheetor which i didnt really want tbh, but despite the upper torso issue ill just kinda try to figure out a way to fix it (reply if u got any suggestions on how to fix the upper torso problem)
I’d be interested in getting this guy and Mirage for heavily discounted prices. I wonder if thickening the tabs with super glue can help the untabbing issue.
Hey Toy Guy! What's been your favorite live-action mainline Bumblebee figure to date? I had the original 2007 mold but I could not for the life of me transform him from robot into car and flatten the hood as a kid, so I gave him away. I haven't been keeping up with Bumblebee figures since. I'd love to hear your opinion!
I agree with the front wheels looking better, but that’s… technically not accurate. I prefer that placement but compare that to your Yolopark and ThreeZero’s DLX and the wheel placement is the same as Studio Series, although there aren’t the blocks of yellow that SS has ofc I think you’re thinking of BB movie, where the wheels are above the folded down door wings.
I started watching this and almost immediately the video twice refered to the movieline as the "mainline" (which is Legacy) and I'm out. I'm just out. If you can't even get that right...
Mainline can refer to more than one thing. There's generations mainline which is legacy, and rise of the beasts mainline (as studio series is part of the generations banner but isn't the generations mainline). I'm sorry you didn't like my use of terminology but it's what the Hasbro people have said so I use it
I understand you have a "platform" and are trying to grow your channel, as well as other RUclipsrs...but to all yall have to stop supporting Hasbro if you want to stop these weird transformation gimmick and "for no reason" color mismatching. There is absolutely no reason this figure can't remain the same yellow color scheme
4:29 at this point I said, out loud, "Who the fuck puts ratcheted knees on a deluxe?"
The day Hasbro stop with the transparent windows on everything is gonna be a great day
Yes. My absolute dream is them only using clear plastic is for energon weapons, like Optimus primes axe and Megatron’s mace, nothing else.
I feel like in this case it’s done poorly but I’ve seen figures where the window piece is separate from the door and the whole thing isn’t clear. Not having the hinge and load baring piece be clear plastic while also having the window clear and more realistic seems like best case scenario for me. If only every figure had that budget
@@joemakesmodels6640. I just want solid colored windows lol
Honestly I find clear plastic on the figures themselves to be fine when the transformation doesn’t require you to apply a sh*t ton of pressure on it.
I got SS 101 Scourge!!! He is cool
The hinge that connects the lower body to the backpack needs so be horizontal to the figure in order for the torso tab to line up and make a proper connection. I had the issue aswell and that was my fix
Before i get bee, Does this trick still work?
I can confirm. Just got the 3 pack he is in today and yes, having that rear hinge straight keeps the chest in place nice and snug.
@@Maxis899No, they sent a software updated that patched this workaround. You'll need to revert to a previous version for it to work
I am slightly impressed that they got the wheels in basically the right place but it’s off in so many other ways
The colour mismatch between the doors and rest of the car is horrible
Only pro ill give it is the wheels on the back and weapons. Rest it doesnt matter what i think
I love how the front wheels on both Optimus and bee fold up similarly
The way the wheels are transferred from traditional car to robot mode on this figure should be done on every movie bumblebee moving forward or just bumble bees that are like this
@@Maximal3235disagree for accuracy but i understand

It may not be the worst bumblebee figure overall, but it’s not great
I honestly absolutely love this Diet SS100. Thickening the tab for the chest with superglue makes him a lot more solid.
The color mismatch on the camera shows up with my Earth spark Bumblebee
Well howdy there Lcblades. Lol

Everytime you upload, my day gets better. Thanks for bringing back all the nostalgic memories. Can't thank you enough.

Nah bro wat you on
I really wish this design had gotten the SS budget, if it had better legs that maybe integrated more of the back of the car to reduce the backpack, tweaked tolerances and better paint matching it'd be easily the better one, the weapon integration is genious, just like the way it deals with the front wheels.

Damn if only SS Bee had the feet articulation of this pos
More like rise of the bees amirite.
Definite pass for me as for the price Studio Series has this beat. Armada Hotshot also has the color match issue. And though it doesn't show as badly in person, through a camera you can really see the mismatch between the painted plastic, and molded plastic on the Leader Scourge. Still really a fan of that DOTM Bee.
Worst thing of all, I bought this figure thinking it was studio series.
I really wish they incorporated the wheel transformation into the SS mold. I feel like his wing/wheel transformation hasn’t changed since 2010 HFTD.
I think the 07 deluxe mold still has the best door wing and front tire placement. It was the only version of Bee, that I remember, that had the wings fan out close to his spine.
Guys remember when mainlines were great quality and looked good
The paint. Oh the paint. Oh it hurts. Oh the paint.😂😂 and the kibble. Oh the kibble too.
In the film he does actually have his wheels in front of his door wings so its 100 percent accurate
2:26 no it isn't?? his doors are clearly behind the wheels in literally every shot we have of ROTB
I love the chunkiness of the car mode here. Beefier tires... he feels more off-roady compared to the Studio Series. But that paint mismatch. UGH. This would be a more stellar figure if they just ditched the translucent plastic.
basically the reason why i want it and dont want it at the same time
Bumblebruh
habsro trying to make main line looking off compared to ss line is funny af, imo there should be no main line anymore
Honestly the colour mismatch looks like not only the paint is too thin but not even the right shade of yellow to begin with regardless of the colour of the clear plastic.
I feel like this was a test run for some ideas that theyll implement with a possible VW bee 2.0
hasbro really needs to stop trying to put yellow paint on blue plastic, like girl this is atrocious
Nah, you cant see the difference on the camera screen but it defintely shows up in the video...its really really bad! Glad I just got the Studio Series!
This mold is actually really good, if u have the money and your willing to do it, just repaint it. Maybe do some customising like removing the back kibble and definitely fix the vehicle paint job. I plan on doing this on the copy I’m gonna get so wish me luck! (Also I can use blue tack to stick the tabs in so they won’t get lose)
“Powtuckit” 🤣
The wheels are actually supposed to be between the back and the door wings, but the compression is still nice!
The one figure to get the wheel placement right is the worst of them all….ironic
Im still baffled by how mainline can get the wheels on the back and Studio series cant. It buggs me so much how they stick out that they cant just add a hinge to flip the wheels in a bit.
Sorta like how mainline Optimus Prime has his smokestacks facing backwards, while the SS has them pointing sideways for some reason.
It’s a shame we’ll probably never get a repaint of this, cuz that alt mode is begging to be Cliffjumper
The day we get a backpackless classic camaro bumblebee will be the day hell freezes over.
I feel like the first, inaccurate-to-the-finalized-design bee from the first bayformers was the best kibble-distribution-wise and it's somehow been downhill from there
Basically, it's another Bumblebee figure that shares an almost identical mold to the last five to come out.
K.
So... good purchase?
The painted yellow looks almost constructicon green, just a few shades off
I highly doubt you see this, but I want to say I love you. I love your videos. I love your style. I love your comedy. You have been such an awesome and positive impact on my life and you have helped me get through a lot of tough times in my life. Keep doing what you do. And keep having fun.😊
:)
0:39 wait...is the SS *smaller* than the mainline??!?
Man this is funny, people were hyped for this figure
Bee's tires actually end up under the doors in robot mode and not on top in rotb
The doors and that part of the torso are like OG Armada Hotshot yellow oof
That color mismatch... What happened?
This is the second time Skids’ stupid face was on the back of a transformer, the first time was last night Hound. Weird.
Holy shit I haven't watched TLK since it came out and that line kinda goes hard
try putting glue over the tab under the chest and wait for it to dry, it should thicken the tab
The ONE thing this figure did right was get the wheels behind the doors like in the movie
Nope lol, they got changed the wheels sit on the back towards the shoulders and infront of the door wings
The peg on the neck is for his alt mode
Hey where did u get that? I haven't found any mainline figures except optimus prime and primal in Canada so far.
It reminds me to TFA Bumblebee as in how the yellows never matched.
bro, that green neon on doors and roof part, hasbro make some weird choices, like why not a different yellow? bee looks like rise of the chernobil
It's the camera. It's not really green.
I happen to love clear plastic but i do agree and wish theyd stop being brain damaged with it
At least the wheels are accurately on the back
Nope, the wheels got effected by the design change, Bee now has them on his back INFRONT of the doors and more towards his shoulders
I wish it were cheaper or better painted
Jeep bee is still the best modern bee
Tbh I like this one more cuz it's more accurate
for the adult collector intro you shouldve used the one where he says “time to kick ass” cause its a bad word
What with the Studio Series and Mainline ROTB figures coming out around the same time I'm torn as to which versions of certain characters to go for.... this at least makes my mind up for Deluxe Bumblebee, but what at Cheetor and Airazor?
Bro how you pick such banger songs in your intros 😩😩😩
welp.. its the closest to the studio series bcuz there isnt even a studio series bumblebee ive only really saw the studio series airazor and cheetor which i didnt really want tbh, but despite the upper torso issue ill just kinda try to figure out a way to fix it (reply if u got any suggestions on how to fix the upper torso problem)
If it wasn't for the chest untabing constantly and the head I'd like it more than the studio series
Is the best if you dont mind a few things like the feet in the back and the two colors.
I’d be interested in getting this guy and Mirage for heavily discounted prices. I wonder if thickening the tabs with super glue can help the untabbing issue.
Looks like a very average bee
The wheels are supposed to be in front of the door wings…why are you complimenting it?
Because it looks good.
@@sophieprime4669 eh
I’m tempted to buy it and mod it to just be a figure?
this toy was very rushed from the delay of the film mostly from a virus we know about and his bumper can be used as a club
Oh I forgot hornet my brother existed
The aoe mainline bumble bee had an arm cannon
Hey Toy Guy! What's been your favorite live-action mainline Bumblebee figure to date? I had the original 2007 mold but I could not for the life of me transform him from robot into car and flatten the hood as a kid, so I gave him away. I haven't been keeping up with Bumblebee figures since. I'd love to hear your opinion!
Probably battle blades.
@@ThatToyGuy Thank you! I'll check it out.
I agree with the front wheels looking better, but that’s… technically not accurate. I prefer that placement but compare that to your Yolopark and ThreeZero’s DLX and the wheel placement is the same as Studio Series, although there aren’t the blocks of yellow that SS has ofc
I think you’re thinking of BB movie, where the wheels are above the folded down door wings.
If the chest locked in properly he'd be fine. I enjoy this fig more than ss100, and a decent modder can make him great.
I'm gonna say this : Only get this if you want the legs and the bumper blades. Get the SS first, though 😂🤣
What if i bought the 3-pack with mirage and airazor
Then you would have those 3 figures.
They just need to stop with the transparent plastic all it does in car mode is show the kibble inside and break the illusion and just flat out breaks
very good video
That car mode is hot garbage even without the mismatched colors
I was thinking of buying this figure but I didnt know about the whole thing with the chest so I didn't thank you
I should have got the SS if only it wasn't that expensive :/
Bumblebee looks odd for that toy
Yeah mainline bee will be skipped on and imma just stick with the studio series
I got SS. 101. Scourge!!!
I have this😢😢😢
you can barley see the color mismatch in person
thank god..
studio series superior main line infireor
Sting like a trash can
wheres the quality? what happened? from tlk to that? we had some good toys in the past why does bumblebee suffer the most?later on?
Hey
Isn't bumblebee supposed to be yellow NOT BLUE
My favorite line
You
Am I the first? It’s fine if I turn out not to be.
Stop it. Get some help.
I have that toy
It's horrible
This bumblebee figure is a bad figure

I'm sorry you didn't like my use of terminology but it's what the Hasbro people have said so I use it
Mainline usually refers to Deluxe, Voyager, Leader ect. So no, he's not wrong
You hurt my head with the amount of stupid in this comment, my one braincell hurts, please know your info before you spew this kind of bs
Mainline isn’t legacy dumbass. Look it up. MOVIE. IS. MAINLINE
I understand you have a "platform" and are trying to grow your channel, as well as other RUclipsrs...but to all yall have to stop supporting Hasbro if you want to stop these weird transformation gimmick and "for no reason" color mismatching. There is absolutely no reason this figure can't remain the same yellow color scheme
Dude that’s not how it works. If you stop supoorting Hasbro the brand dies. Realize that. Buy less 3rd party.
I hope a bee stings the back of your knees
