Welp imma say it again for the millionth time but they confirmed we are also getting movie game characters (forgot the deal i believe is if the wfc subline suceeds). Only thing we know is breakaway is the first fig and later on warpath.
Hopefully, we know leaks wise Breakaway was going to be the first but that changed now. I think if they do well they definitely will, Sam (SS designer) want to do Warpath. And dude he’d look perfect with the BBM/ROTB bots.
The chest on the new one is just too WIDE. There should have been something they could have done to make it look cleaner and more accurate. But actually handling it is a significant improvement over the original. I'm sticking with my Thrilling 30 Scout Class Bee. It might not be an accurate vehicle mode but the scale is good and the robot mode looks mostly better except for his head being a little undersized.
To add on to this, the new WFC Bumblebee's legs are REALLY impressive to me, the way they fold 180 degrees in two different directions at once. It looks like this one is way more fun, but I still feel like another week of revising the sculpt could have made it just about perfect.
It's a decent figure but mine had the shoulder pads on the wrong arms. Took me a while to figure out why I couldn't get them into the correct position for transformation.
FYI on the old version, the arms actually have little tabs that loosely tab into the underside of the shoulders and if you don't have that in place it still seems like it should all line up but it actually makes it a lot harder to get everything to smoothly fit together
The backpack isn’t bad this time it’s the chest pack, like it needs to suck in or scrunch up better. Maybe if it was on a double hinge or something to Angie down the chest just something to slim it down The deluxes in the first wave are such a let down cause a first for barricade and a new bee sounded awesome but in hand it’s not awesome especially compared to how good Optimus is like they spent 90% of the time on him and rushed the other 2. Also sucks cause cliff jumper is a repaint of bee so same issues
Yeah that's quite literally what happened from what I've heard, only Optimus was going to get a figure, but corporate Hasbro wanted more and they used the rest of the budget on these two EDIT: Didn't realize he quite literally says that in the video but I'm going to leave this here just in case if anyone didn't hear it.
I feel that it's just a matter of putting two double hinges, one on the chest and one at the back so the front looks more accurate but the back also comprises more and creates that nice shape from the game. If I was to make a perfect WFC game bee I'd use the old one's leg engineering cause that was great, the blades and the rear end tooling but on the new figure colors arms and chest
10:40 You can store either the sword or the battle pistol on the underside, you can store the plasma cannon up top, and you can store 2 of any of the 3 on the back section where they also store in robot mode. Personally, I store the battle pistol on the underside, the sword on the bottom back section as a sort of 'bumper', and the plasma cannon on the top of it.
I had the original Bee mold as the Cliffjumper repaint, and thank GOD i wasn't the only one who found the transformation absolutely excruciating. To my memory i only transformed into the car ONCE before deciding to never do it again
You're struggling with the transformation on the old one, because you're compressing everything in the wrong order. Firstly, the legs should audibly click into place when you're compressing them. With the order of operations, it works the smoothest when transforming from robot to car, if you a accordion the backpack, rotate tthe shoulders back, rotate te neck panel to compress the head, convert the backpack shell, convert the rest of the arms, then do the waist and legs.
I will always say this: Studio Series is made for accuracy above all else, they still want to make a functioning toy but god damn it can be a bad line at times from fucked tabs to generally fiddlefests that the little shits can be.
I personally think that this figure was a great update to the original, specifically for the arms, but one think I would change on it is difinitely the lower legs, as the old one made a really accurate lower leg, except for the ankle articulation.
Easy is subjective. It's easy enough IF you know all of the quirks. But more often than not, getting everything to stay tabbed together isn't always easy.
Seeing these figs has me think that The WFC designs won't translate well at all in Studio series form due to the designs and also because of the budget
I really love the use of the WFC game cutscene, would be interested in revisiting WFC/FOC games and especially multiplayer modes at some point?(Yes they got revived and are working on pc and ps3)
As a fellow Canadian I feel $35 is too much for any deluxe class figure. $25 already feels a lot, but with the improved paint, engineering, and durability over older lines seems more than fair. I think other than the larger size the only thing the older Bee has over the newer one is the leg transformation though nearly every other aspect of the toy is pretty awful. Always hated the feet, and the balloon arms.
I really and I mean really want a fall/war for cybertron jazz. I saw they have a redeco of this toy for cliffhunper coming out in October as number 5 I believe of this toy line
These shoulders don't snap where you say , I can't seem to find why there's so many things in the way and that backpack always falls off when I try to move the front of the car up
I have a love/ hate with this figure. I think he looks perfect in Alt-Mode. He's a solid 80% in robot mode, I wish they did something better with his legs. If he had ankle pivots, I would forgive the inaccurate legs. That transformation is absolutely horrendous. I legit threw mine at a wall because the shoulders on mine do not sit properly, and if they don't sit properly, then the legs don't sit properly. I would say it has been the only transformation from a mainline to actually piss me off. I think he's worth the price, though. Barricade is the figure people should buy on sale.
I have the Cliffjumper variant, and its color is fine after many years of owning it, on mismatch, the only downside is that I lost a foot and a thumb broke, but other than that it was a great figure, even for holding. Sounds like t he Bumblebee variant, or at least the one you have, wasn't good as mine had no issues.
Im gonna get cliffjumper instead because im biased and like red, im also not the biggest fan of the bumblebee head with horns and i can never figure out why
I got this on sale. I would not have paid full price for this. It's............ fine, but those feet (and not just the lack of ankle tilts, those shin guards pop off at the drop of a hat) It worries me that all the basic Autobot cars are "Scouts" in the game, meaning they're all likely to be remolds of this. Cliffjumper confirmed, but also Jazz and Sideswipe. And probably others.
Meanwhile my studio series broke a peg on first transformation. Keept untabbing everywhere and the vehicle has messy gaps because it seems tolerances don't exist on my copy xD just nothing fits
The transformation of the new one has one big problem that all my friends have on their copies as well. When trying to transform him, the back panel pops off so easily. Weve looked at the instructions and followed each step, and the back panel is the biggest problem that there is
Can you do a review of peace defender robot? It’s a combiner where you have to use a toy screwdriver and I saw on Amazon and I wanted to see if it’s worth it or not. It’s also no transformers branded, but I don’t think it’s a bootleg either because the design is completely original.
I got the cliff retool bc i thought it looked better and in a weird way i love this figure and i dont think i want another cliff jumper bc this resembles like his prime/FOC version who i grew up with (prime and rescue bots were my G1) but I HATE this mold, im no engineer but there are things even I could’ve fixed
Hi! I love your videos. I was wondering, can you not just rotate the legs 180 at the thigh swivel? In the correct config which you show in the video the legs just look inside out :(
Guys the transit fight scene has finally been revealed
Watched it looks awesome
WHAT
Oh cool, thank you Nemesis
The best news we’ve gotten since the CGI render of Transit
Common Nemesis W
The issue isn't even that the chest sticks out too much... It's that there's literally NO waist or abdomen. It's just chest, and then crotch.
I sure hope they do the movie games at some point. Breakaway and Warpath are the ones I want the most.

A Skywarp would cool too from that one dotm arcade game
I also want another Longarm and Shockwave from 2007 game

@@o0xjaymex0o I respectfully disagree. I don't like how it looks. I don't know which TFP figure you mean.
@@OtakuUnitedStudio I wasn't speaking of any particular TFP figure, I was implying it could pass as one.

I'd say the change of not speeding through the transformation is good. I much prefer this way.
I haven't sped up a transformation in almost 2 years

I genuinly love this guys vehicle mode.
He is so small and is just great to play with or even just have sit in your hand like a computer mouse
I had the old one as a kid and I remember even then the transformation was frustrating. Glad they are revisiting these
Man I think you're CRAZY. I love the old Bumblebee figure. The one thing about the new one is that it's smaller which fits better with scale

Oh man, that's a smooth intro, that's a really good one
I like this figure, I’d recommend
He looks perfect in the pose you put him in from the opening cutscene, I’m sold and definitely getting the Cliffjumper
I will always say this: Studio Series is made for accuracy above all else, they still want to make a functioning toy but god damn it can be a bad line at times from fucked tabs to generally fiddlefests that the little shits can be.
Looks like a good figure to collect for transformers fans and collectors.
Finally, someone else who acknowledges his Arms!!!😂
That's a perfect transition in the opening
I have the cliffjumper version and who else has the infuriating problem of his knees being like spaghetti to the point where he cant stand at all
Transformers fans when a robot car has car parts on the robot. 😱😱😱
I LOVE THIS FIGURE the only ring I don’t like is the legs but I love the chest still
I personally think that this figure was a great update to the original, specifically for the arms, but one think I would change on it is difinitely the lower legs, as the old one made a really accurate lower leg, except for the ankle articulation.
Watching you transform the original wfc bee hurts to watch. Its not great, but its pretty easy to transform.
Easy is subjective. It's easy enough IF you know all of the quirks. But more often than not, getting everything to stay tabbed together isn't always easy.
Watching this for the first time after getting Cliffjumper and I didn’t have a sword either! No word back from hasbro yet tho
Seeing these figs has me think that The WFC designs won't translate well at all in Studio series form due to the designs and also because of the budget
That intro had no right to go THAT hard-
5:48 make sure he isn’t friends with any of the other figures or else there will be another bionicle series
"I just like buying fun GameStop" is a sentence i never thought i would hear.
i love this guy i like him very much i would have rather get studio series 100 but he is still good

Tons of respect for being so consistent with the videos

I broke my cliffjumper trying to transform this dood to car mode. SMHH
The intro was great!
The OG is what i use for an MP figure
0:41 I feel so attacked here. Lol. I was so mean to this figure before it got in hand.😂😂😂😂
The intro transition is sick 🔥🔥🔥
HI TOY GUY!!!!!!! I LOVE UR VIDS, AND UR REVIEWS! ur so funny and the MOST entertaining reviewer!
Ngl it looks like you are trying to get his attention
@@Jazmission yeah bc i am hes my favorite reviewer
@@SaberzIndeed ok
Bro intro was fire
Prime, 1-10, he's a 9, Bee is a 6.5, Barricade, looks cool but seems like a 5.
Really hoping they give us that F-35 breakaway
These shoulders don't snap where you say , I can't seem to find why there's so many things in the way and that backpack always falls off when I try to move the front of the car up
bro you had the same reaction as me when i transformed him the first time 😂😂😂 i know this is problay not his first but still “a little mouse”
Ima get it, and pull apart the old one so i can use parts of it to improve this one
Both my original WFC Cliff and BB broke at the waist so hopefully this new BB is able to hold up longer
The thicker gun isn’t the plasma blaster from ingame or the cutscene you used in the beginning, it’s the gun he has in the WFC trailer
Remember mates
He's a full blown Canadian
I have a love/ hate with this figure. I think he looks perfect in Alt-Mode. He's a solid 80% in robot mode, I wish they did something better with his legs. If he had ankle pivots, I would forgive the inaccurate legs.

Ironically my gamer edition cliffjumper has better tabs in the leg that tab in better
WOW! That was a fantastic intro!
Is Okay bummblebe figure In mine opinion
Dude, that intro is sick as f*ck
You're Canadian and now you're my favourite
I have the Cliffjumper variant, and its color is fine after many years of owning it, on mismatch, the only downside is that I lost a foot and a thumb broke, but other than that it was a great figure, even for holding. Sounds like t he Bumblebee variant, or at least the one you have, wasn't good as mine had no issues.
I used to have the orginal but he broke since i didnt know hwo to take care of figures
My son's gonna get it Transformers studio series gamer edition dedication Soldier
I did not know the weapon could store underneath
ill admit the proportions on the older bee are kinda iffy but imo the engineering in the legs is amazing
transformation-wise, i mean
or at least more game-accurate lookin. (the legs are the only things on the older one that i consider game accurate by visuals lol)
I'll be honest I still have the original but he's missing his feet, blaster, gun if only I took care of it.
I oen both and love both but the new one was my favorite from the 1st set of 3
Im gonna get cliffjumper instead because im biased and like red, im also not the biggest fan of the bumblebee head with horns and i can never figure out why
I don’t know if I should get this guy or rotb bee for my collection
2 bumblebee videos ina row woah
I got this on sale. I would not have paid full price for this. It's............ fine, but those feet (and not just the lack of ankle tilts, those shin guards pop off at the drop of a hat)

They 1:46 gave him a UNIBOOB, even g1 shockwave has one.
Edit: Hasbro, STOP MAKING EVERYTHING G1
same my sword didnt come either
You connected the arms wrong on the old one that's why it won't hold together in vehicle mode it has to go a certain way there's a port
I’am Canadian too

Why dose this mold look better in red, cliff wins again with the colors.

I feel your pain i have the same one and his knees are spaghetti i cant even get him to stand without him falling backwards
Bruh, the hood part doesnt latch to the front on my copy
Hear me out all they had to put on the box is fall of cybertron and boom it makes sense because fall bumblebee is chunky er than war

all the gamestops near me stopped selling transformers, that happen to anyone else??
I know this doesn't go here, but has anyone ordered from tf safari or bombusbee?
