You know, Hasbro wouldn’t even have to change their head sculpt for Bee. They could just paint the silver rings around his eyes blue, and bam, bigger eyes.
I love this mode but the rear side windows tend to crack a bit after a while from repeated transformations pegging them in. I wish Takara's clear plastic was as resilient as Lego's.
I think we can agree on this, the studio series community either thought “This is gonna be the best original sculpt of bee” and others might have thought “I knew it.”
The one thing that bugs me on this is that the lower wings are inaccurate, because in DOTM it was formed from the rear wing/spoiler. I know its impossible with this figures engineering but it would be nice if there was a figure who had the correct lower wings
@@uainjansun Actually the rear windows of his Camaro mode forms his lower wings in 2007 and ROTF. But in DOTM the rear spoiler becomes his lower wings in robot mode
Honestly for vehicle mode I think this version of bumblebee is the most accurate to the actual movies out of all three versions the first one used a production Camaro as a vehicle mode instead of the concept which always made it look off to me in vehicle mode especially since it had those extra rectangle reverse lights on the back the second one continued the error of the backend being wrong but then also had that really Jenkee looking paint on the front end where they didn’t continue the black paint in the areas where they should’ve this one looks like it got the paint the mold and the design right
You are the number 1 transformer UA-cam that doesn't rant on about the box and all the stuff that doesn't matter and you never disappoint 👏 well done keep up the good work I always watch your videos my favourite one was the sideways one ss 88 I got him for my birthday and you video helped me learn how to transform him thanks a lot 🙏 😀
I really wonder what else can we do with Studio Series. There is knight Optimus Prime, Devcon, and the last knight decepticons like nitro zeus or Mohawk. But it is a bit concerning that those 9 or so characters are the final options, excluding the entirety of 86, before we just devolve into nothing characters or concept characters. Atleast until ROTB.
@@uainjansun he got cancelled because he had too many parts for a leader class. Now that commander class is coming to SS, he's potentially happenening.

I would honestly love to get a Cyberfire repaint for the new mold. Hasbro and Takara did something similar like that with the Jeep Bumblebee, so why not get a Cyberfire repaint?
Looks great. I will buy. As you mentioned I really do wish there was a new ribcage/ab piece though. Perhaps a 3rd party will make an add-on kit or replacement piece or something. A new headsculpt would be cool too.
Awesome review as always! Keep it up! Now that DOTM bee dont have a Battle Mask, I am thinking Hasbro will release the 2007 and ROTF with Normal Heads. I wish it will be a 3-pack with a Stealthforce version of DOTM. here's hoping :D
They're rereleasing the 2007 Studio Series Bumblebee in a five-pack later this year along with the other Movie 1 Autobots and he's going to have an unmasked head
I'm gonna swap the heads for the DOTM and '07 molds. I personally prefer the' 07 design over the rest, but I didn't like the battle mask.. Now I can get my perfect Bumblebee
I got mine from DSHOP. It's a Chinese KO Version, that somehow cost almost as much. It fell in half the first time I transformed it into a robot. There was one tiny screw holding the two halves together that barely reached the second part.
I have too many CHUG Bumblebees already, and I was not going to get this one, but I think you just sold me on him. It does look to be the best modern Camero version of Bee in Studio Series.
I found this guy made by baiwei, and he comes with a bigger stinger blaster, the last knight hammer, a swappable battle mask, and the head mask lifted on the right side for when he took out Brawl from 2007. But no over the shoulder cannons. He even has an evasion mode/ high octane painted version
The wheels are two tone irl, with the large spokes being grey and the smaller ones bring black. Ik because I'm painting those exact wheels just like that!
It’s not bad, but sadly like every SS bee up until SS 100, this figure suffers from fragility, a super fiddly transformation, tabs that don’t tab in, frustrating legs, and overall I will always prefer the original 2011 DOTM bee mold as it’s far more enjoyable to transform. Though to be fair I am a bit bias since that was my first ever Bumblebee deluxe.
In all fairness, the original DotM Bumblebee mold borrowed engineering cues from the HftD Battle Blade Bumblebee. That said, now that we HAVE the DotM design...they need to do what Takara did with the original DotM mold in their Movie the Best line: do a pink repaint as the disguised Laserbeak!! For that matter, Hasbro completely dropped the ball on SS74 RotF Bee by not having his battle blade for his left arm.
I just bought the figure, and I love it. But I am gonna leave the figure in the vehicle mode as I don't wanna keep transforming the figure and allow it to get weaker and look worse over time.
Fun fact: the yellow-gold color of bumblebee is completely custom, you can not by a Camaro with that exact color. The Camaro does come in yellow but not that shade
I like this bumblebee but it’s really missing the rib cage which makes lt look off in an angle and the color is around orange but otherwise great job showing this to us!
If they all have the same transformation you could easily pop off the arms heads and legs and you would have what you wanted with the extra gun metal color
I also biggest fan of Dark of the Moon Bumblebee because i also like this design between robot mode 🤖 and vehicle mode 😊. That's mean nothing i want to complain about 😂. It's depends on me wether i want to buy this figure OR i wait Hasbro and Takara Tomy create Age of Extinction and The Last Knight Bumblebee 🙂.
I swear I just seen this in a shop and assumed he was a core class because he just looks way smaller than the other bumblebees. Maybe it was a different version. But what I seen was a studio series dotm bumblebee so it must be what I'm seeing here that looks bigger than I thought. Edit: On further thought I think it's because the new box sometimes makes certain figures look smaller than they actually are
So the headsculpt is better than I expected. Thought it would be a direct reuse of the Clunker Bee head. But I will still did on the hill that the WWII Bumblebee has the best Bayverse Bumblebee headsculpt to date.
@@PrimeVsPrime I asked King Samlock, the designer, on Instagram about this and he said it's a waste because they would have to use the tool for the whole WWII Bee mold just to get the head. I don't know why they wouldn't just use the same 3D file.
cant wait to get this figure I got the 2007 version accuracy for it is amazing but IT IS NOT FUN AT ALL it dosent tab in at all making it super floppy and the two door wings broke off the figure is not fun whatsoever maybe they fixed that with this one or the ROTF one. great review it looks great! I loved the changes they did to bumblebee in DOTM so this is a figure I will for sure get.
This is so cool I have the deluxe class transformers dark of the moon 🌙 mechtech bumblebee so I can’t wait for the transformers studio series dark of the moon bumblebee deluxe class figure and I can’t wait for it to be released next year in 1/1/2023 in January 1 2023
@PrimeVsPrime because there is a review of sidesways and bumblebee which are figures that come out until January and not galvatron that comes out in November
Did you know, that this 2011 Camaro look he has in DOTM, isn't an SS Camaro like in all the other movies, but rather a semi-custom Camaro *GS* which was actually a concept car that never officially hit the streets, and ended up strictly being a cadet for the track. Don't believe me? Look it up: Camaro GS Concept
Why do I get the get the feeling they might rerelease the figure but add the bigger rib chestplate covering the headlights like in the movie. Honestly I feel like they should do that for a potential the last knight bumblebee
What is up with hasbro's stock photos making their figures look like crap but they end up being awesome. Btw I hope you can cover SS 90 Galvatron soon, I love the channel.
It bothers me so much that Hasbro doesn't paint those 2 dots or whatever black on top of his head... it makes the headsculpt look unfinished and plain like it's such a little but big detail that they won't do for some reason
I love this mold, but I'm a little worried about getting it because I got the one from movie 1, and the door wing broke off after a couple months of having it.
While the sculpt work does look awesome with brand-new moulds, I'm tired of the same transformation engineering for this guy. Wish they could come up with some surprises like better placement of the front wheels in robot mode or something.
I just had to re buy mine because the wheel came off on the feet and the black paint job had a lot of hair and dust underneath it but my new one is perfect besides the little bit of grey spilling on some yellow
You know, Hasbro wouldn’t even have to change their head sculpt for Bee. They could just paint the silver rings around his eyes blue, and bam, bigger eyes.

I had the same problem with my 07 studio series Bumblebee. But it was the front window on mine.. stress crack.
Also happened to me but instead it was the rotf bumblebee with the door cracking
@@Dat1214 as a child, a throw about bee a bit but he is doing great. No problems after a year of transforming him.
Both of my doors broke on my SS-49 bumblebee:/
Finally someone mentions the eyes of the head sculpt!!! Completely agree!
Yeah they are just way too small! Thanks for checking out the video :)
This figure looks wicked! He’s definitely a must have in my collection. Phenomenal review as always PrimeVsPrime!
I think we can agree on this, the studio series community either thought “This is gonna be the best original sculpt of bee” and others might have thought “I knew it.”

I've been watching your reviews to determine which figures to buy. Thank you for your reviews and guides.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻

I absolutely can’t wait for this guy. Imma try to get him early like the unmasked B127. I just can’t get over how stunning this guy looks

there's still so many characters to go through, more than you think.
@@uainjansun Oh, I didn't know
Revenge of The Fallen:
- The Fallen (Coming)
- Demolishor (Repaint)
- Payload (Repaint)
Dark of The Moon:
- Decepticon Protoforms (Mostly remolds of Long Haul, if you think about it)
- Brawl (Desert Deco)
- Driller (Doubt it, but hey, it could happen)
- Devcon
- Barricade (Minor mold differences, nice opportunity to re-release that expensive mold)
- Que/Wheeljack
- Ironhide (Again, minor differences, but an opportunity to re-release a mold)
- Hatchet
Age of Extinction:
- Optimus Prime (Evasion Mode)
- Optimus Prime (Knight)
- Bumblebee (Evasion Mode/High Octane)
- Bumblebee (2014 Camaro)
- Crosshairs
- Hound
- Drift (?)
- Stinger (For the love of god, the first mold sucks)
- Galvatron (Coming)
- KSI Drones
The Last Knight:
- Bumblebee (2017 Camaro)
- Drift (?)
- Trench
- Megatron (Knight)
- Nitro Zeus
- Onslaught
- Barricade (New Mustang)
- Infernocus (Combiner)
- Dragonstorm (Combiner)
- Beachbot
Think that's it. The premium color subline might be good in order to rerelease some molds that are way too expensive, like SS32, SS35, etc.
Bee has been my favorite transformer for my entire life ❤❤❤
I hope there will be a premium version of this bumblebee, it’s lacking some details and should’ve been a different yellow
I was looking forward for this in years, but it was because I was hoping it would have extra gimmick in his vehicle mode, just like in the movie...
I honestly was not to thrilled with his stock photos on Amazon but man will this figure be epic. Anyways awesome review
Thanks so much! :)
I would honestly love to get a Cyberfire repaint for the new mold. Hasbro and Takara did something similar like that with the Jeep Bumblebee, so why not get a Cyberfire repaint?

They're rereleasing the 2007 Studio Series Bumblebee in a five-pack later this year along with the other Movie 1 Autobots and he's going to have an unmasked head
one issue I also have is that I wish the frontwheels would be able to extend back more in robot mode because it can get in the way of the arms
Now we shall await for an AOE Bee that's a heavy retool of Stinger
We need a remold, because that bee toy from 2014 was so disappointing 😕
I'm gonna swap the heads for the DOTM and '07 molds. I personally prefer the' 07 design over the rest, but I didn't like the battle mask.. Now I can get my perfect Bumblebee
The doors are the most hardest part of transforming Bumblebee into vehicle.
Have mine coming in tomorrow! Do miss the old bumblebee figs where you could pull down the battle mask

Ah amazing! Glad I convinced you otherwise haha!
Thanks for the video my 5 year old drives me mad asking me to transform these things. Very helpful

Bumblebee is a nice toy , only problem he has trouble tabbing in vehicle mode.

Weren't the spoiler making the "lower wings" in the back of his robot mode, in his DOTM design?

all we need now to complete the dotm cast is wheeljack and hatchet
This transformers studio series dark of the moon Bumblebee toy looks amazing 😻
I only wish it had flip down battle mask.
I wish the back spoiler was more acurate with 2 pillars instead of 4

was going to skip him originally but now ill being getting him since there's enough changes imo that justify getting it
Awesome! Glad you changed your mind :)
Awesome review 10/10 my friend 🤝🏾

Actually tf3 Bumblebee is based off of Jay Leno's custom 2009 v6 camaro, same front bumper and hood, and it is an ss in the movie.
I really hope we get a studio series evasion Optimus prime and last knight optimus both designs are in need of the studio series treatment.
Evasion prime would be really cool to see

Same after like a year tho with my tf 1 bee but my rotf one is pretty good it hasn’t broke yet
Brilliant translation of his best movie designs just a shame the plastic is flimsy on some parts and doors break easily

While the sculpt work does look awesome with brand-new moulds, I'm tired of the same transformation engineering for this guy. Wish they could come up with some surprises like better placement of the front wheels in robot mode or something.
Yeah definitely would’ve been amazing to have a complete brand new overhaul for this guy
This cool bumblebee mister primevsprime
Ikr?!
I always wonder if bubble bee has been as popular as Hasbro wanted
They are really rinsing this Mould 😂
I feel that the dark of the moon bee should have came with the battle mask and the 2007 one should of came with the normal face
Are any components from the upgrade kit hindered by the new sculpting, because when I get this dotm bumblebee, this will something I need to know
I'm gonna get this, and when I do it will be the 5th bumblebee figure 😂
SS 100 has gone full circle
SS 87 has perfect proportions considering what it is
yet SS 100 has incorrect proportions
gaddamn.
I really hope they repaint this into the dotm murder bee
Hey PrimevsPrime! Is this DOTM version or the mb18 warhammer from TLK a better figure?
Mine got broke, on the wings part. It's too fragile. The doors and chest too hard to attach
I just had to re buy mine because the wheel came off on the feet and the black paint job had a lot of hair and dust underneath it but my new one is perfect besides the little bit of grey spilling on some yellow
