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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 have figured out that the gun for him that comes in the weapon packs can be stored in car mode by stiking it behind the elbow and the barrel look like a side tale pipe in car mode it does not have a port but is stiks by frictune real wel even with shaking
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
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!
I am disappointed he doesn't have a back post socket like Cliffjumper does. I am designing a Wavecrasher backpack accessory and it was highly dependent on that socket to attach to his mechanoid mode. So now it looks like the only one who gets a Wavecrasher backpack is Cliffjumper.
It would have been nice if Earthrise Bumblebee wasn't a heavy copy/paste/retool/edit of Earthrise Cliffjumper. Earthrise Bumblebee needs to be his OWN mold.
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.
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
Why does he look better than both of the masterpiece figures😂

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.

EPICCOGMAN that’s why I’m surprised cause it’s only happened in a few number of lines
Good man steve same
Thank you for showing his gun from the centurion pack!
No problem! :)
Hasbro: *makes this figure*
Me: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
I like this trend of Generations WFC figures being budget masterpiece figures.
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

A smaller version of the masterpiece but still a lovely Bumblebee
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
Bumblebee: appears
Me: ILL TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK!!
@Starscream91 yep
Who needs masterpieces when you’ve got wfc
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.

Transformers war for Cybertron line is becoming mini masterpieces and maybe better than them .Almost every figure is outstanding.
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.
Now if we could just get an Earth Rise Jazz with this level of awesomeness!
It would be indeed!
Can I just say how nice it is to have a non movie transformer that turns into a real life vehicle?
Hope to find Bumblebee for myself soon, just got Cliffjumper and love it
Hope CJ's upgrade kit is compatible with BB, that kit was amazing IMO
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.
Dude, you really explain so good how to transform
Ah thanks! Glad it helps
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.
I was hesitant to get bee but watching full review from you, I'm gonna find and get him no matter the cost.
Man when are you reviewing the Haslab Unicron?
When it comes out, probably.
He probably already has it
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.
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...

Love seeing Bumblebee back to his spiritual scale. Still washing the taste of that muscle car Bee craze out of my mouth.
the 2 peg holes behind his head always reminds me of Mickey ears haha
Bumblebee- your fighting to win and that's going to get all killed
Would love to get this, surprisingly this would be my first transformable bumblebee figure.
Im disappointed that he doesnt have the Autobot symbol on his chest/car roof, but otherwise he looks great!
Finally I have waited so long for this
Can't wait to pick this one up once he comes in stock

You can do an alternate transformation woth prowl's shoulder pads on the car mode to fit the ski below him
I thought that Bumblebee wouldn't be a good figure, but he looks great! Good review
I still think it is hilarious that this time bumblebee is a repaint of cliffjumper lol
Wow! Bumbleblee looks very good

I am designing a Wavecrasher backpack accessory and it was highly dependent on that socket to attach to his mechanoid mode.

Great figure. Already got it on pre-order.
Never going to use the weapon mode on the back in vehicle mode.
This new series transformations are just amazing! Great job Takara and Hasbro!
My Cliffjumper’s shoulder paint is chipping from the transformation. Glad they didn’t paint them on Bee.
Me too!
Same!
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.
The fact this is better than MP-45 is an absolute embarrassment on takaras part.
For those who want the Autobot insignia on the figure's chest, you can always get one and apply it. At least that is what I am planning to do.
Amazing that this is essentially the first MP Bee at a $20 price point. Nice!
The bazooka was long ago featured in the Dream Wave comic Transformers Ongoing#2. Bumblebee is pointing it pointblank at Bruticus
When does it actually come out I missed the Walmart preorder.
If part's forming makes a better Robot and Alt mode, then why not?
Wow, this is so much better than Iron Hide. Do they really have no quality control over there?
