I think the mpm and ss versions were a good effort considering they were given unfinished concept art for reference and the time crunch of the release along with the movie. If they are planning to make a 2.0 tho, that would be great
emgo has been the inspiration throughout my life and has unintentionally helped me through hard times and i cannot express how important someone i’ve never met is to me, i’ve known you all my life emgo, thank you.
Not gonna lie: when I saw the figure at the beginning of the video, during Mascot's introduction, my first thought was "oh, another Transformers figure that doesn't transform" when I noticed the amount of detail and lack of 'hanging car parts" on the toy. Kudos to TransCraft.
I would like to add by saying you differ from prime vs prime because your videos you make more jokes which is why I really like watching them lol, Like the BM screws, and some of the other jokes you make lol
S a m e, EmGo will always be my go to for any and ALL tf-related reviews. Nobody competes with his amount of detail and unbiased opinions on the figure’s quality itself
To have a KO transformer toy engineered in such a way that is movie accurate...I have nothing else to say but kudos to them. They just made Hasbro look like a kindergartner compared to a college student.
Just got this today and I'm blown away. Transformation was bit tricky the first time to get everything exactly right, but after that, it gets easier. Very impressed by the engineering.
@@napalmdex440 26:21 he's the same size of MPM BB, but, none of them scale right with mpm Ironhide. You'd need OS BMB Ironhide. And in fact, BB MOVIE Bumblebee is smaller than bay Bumblebee. So, you decide what fits
I am a huge fan of faux chests. It's the best way to make the figures look the most like the character. I just received my copy of this figure, and I love it. I never liked the MPM version, but this one really makes the official feel and look like a cheap toy. It is one of those figures that when you look at him, it is hard to believe he transforms.
Thank you for the review EmGo! I was on the fence on whether it was gonna be like Toyworld Optimus' nightmare engineering, especially since it hides all the kibble so well, but yea I'm DEFINITELY buying it now
There was no WAY I was going to miss out on this Bee! Got him in the mail on Saturday and have pretty much playing with him non-stop. He's a perfect display piece but too fun to leave on the shelf. I can't wait to see what Trancraft does for Bumblebee movie Optimus and Blitzwing. Though Zeta's Blitzwing is going to be hard to resist, I haven't seen an Optimus that's worthy of the name yet. The only trouble with Transcraft was the wait was absolute torture. Worth it, but torture.
Yep you’re right I am too waiting for a good day prime with details like the toy world and solid as the wei Jiang or bmb I forgot. And that transform of course!
Wow that is Incredible! What a marvel of engineering! I didn't think it trasformed at first!These 3rd party companies are absolutely CRUSHING IT! the fact this transforms is astonishing! GLORIOUS engineering! A true masterpiece for BB movie BB! :')
Now, this is a real "transformer" toy. He actually transforms himself to either mode. Most of them just have panels around the robot to become a vehicle.
I don't know why this suddenly hit me now, but at the end with your outro, all I can hear is: "Remember, you don't stop playing 'Bee'cause you grow old, you grow old 'Bee'cause you stop playing. 'Bee' geek, 'Bee' proud!" I'm sorry, that's all I can hear now, lol! (Also, I'm a big fan of your outro, really cool and it's true!)
I don't mind fake pieces for better accuracy as long as the regular piece can be hidden away like they did here with hiding the headlights into the legs
Ok, for some foe parts on transformers is reasonable because it’s damn near impossible to make it like the movies or cartoons, HOWEVER! When a part like the chest of any transformer is a foe part, to me personally, it seems like a problem. Usually it is the front of the car mode so it’s just REAAAALLLYYY annoying to see the entire chest as a foe part.
For some reason I get the feeling the entire figure was designed that way because someone was like, oh hey, the back windows would work well for this designs wings
For anyone who doesn't know (or cares), the quote on the box is a reference to the song (Don't You) Forget About Me, by Simple Minds. I can't remember off the top of my head if that song was featured in Bumblebee
Hey emgo I have Head that there is some new transformer prime one the (attack prime) (dark master) (angel engine) and I love u video it makes me happy thank u for the videos 😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍
To me this is the mpm bumblebee movie bumblebee I haven't got any of the bumblebees for this movie yet but this is the only one I'm getting amazing work they have done genius on how he transforms too
That's really impressive; agree that this is probably as good as it gets while still transforming. I'd take 3A over it, but barely. Their engineer(s) must be insane in a good way.
Bro this figure is insane but it costs a lot of steps and money. More like a masterpiece. This figure is just like the movie version. It is better than the studio series version.
That toy world prime argh. I very nearly hate that version. Closest screen accurate version yet of Bee. I would love to see IDW Mirage soon if you managed top get him.
@emgo316 Some Taobao sellers are using your videos in their product page. Not this, I don't think, but I saw one from the Wei Jiang KO Upscaled SS38 Prime. Tried to post a link, but think UA-cam took it down.
It is definitely an involved transformation, but not to a frustrating level. And to prove my point, I will say just this: TFEVO HOT FIRE. Painful memories, aren't they?
Although I don't own it, my Transformers Toy of the Year 2021 goes to this guy. Just amazing...puts the official Masterpiece to shame. It's funny sometimes when people think of China they think cheap KO but in reality TransCraft and legends scale designer NewAge and even the old KO shops like Weijiang are putting out amazing product in recent years and formed an interesting relationship with Takara/Hasbro.
Dang, at first glance I wouldn't even think he transforms.
Same.
Transcraft? more like witchcraft
I thought it was just one of those ThreeA figures until I saw there was a transformation video for it.

This is what the masterpiece version should of looked. Otherwise this is a great representation of Bumblebee.
The MP is a glorified upscaled SS, and SS Beetlebee wasn't even good enough to deserve the SS label.
I think the mpm and ss versions were a good effort considering they were given unfinished concept art for reference and the time crunch of the release along with the movie. If they are planning to make a 2.0 tho, that would be great
Yeah
not to mention how painfully difficult it is to transform masterpiece bumblebee
Hard agree. Might have to pick this guy up and put the MPM one away, it's still a good figure, but this one is spot on

Kudos to TransCraft.
They kind of have to use fake parts in robot mode because if you look at him in the movie his chest mass-shifts to transform.
Yeah, good eye. That detail was interesting
Me seeing the thumbnail: that cant possibly transform
Me now:😮
Same here
Me seeing the thumbnail: Ok another Bee movie figure, hope this won't be nightmare to watch

Does he really transform all those characters for comparisons? Mad respect

@@emgo316 no way that is some amazing stuff
My favorite thing about Emgo is the effort he puts into the comparisons (that and the skits at the end).
Really appreciate the size comparisons
only thing I like from the bumblebee movie design it has bayverse elements still. hope the other autobots have g1 and bayverse mix designs
@PhantomZettonX18 i prefer the bayverse designs better

It's not a KO. It's just a 3P figure. KO are copies, this one is original, it just isn't from Hasbro
@@Lu1zF3l1pe you're probably right. I always think of 3rd party toys as KOs.
@@Rorschach771 lol I feel ya
To be fair this is expensive and probably bad quality and Hasbro has low standards

Just to be sure, are you going to put this bee on your masterpiece movie shelf?
definitely

The robot design is reminiscent of the Unique toys movie models. If I didn't already have a movie Bumblebee I would have gone for this.
What black magic bulls*** is this!? There's zero kibble on a panel-former, how is that even possible?
It’s called underpaid Chinese workers
It's not hasbro
@@JosephStAmant-vm1cg we know that
Wow, when I saw the thumbnail I thought it could not transform. Really screen accurate. Damn

Now, this is a real "transformer" toy. He actually transforms himself to either mode. Most of them just have panels around the robot to become a vehicle.
The only thing that is a detrimento real transformer toys is that they have to compromise some joints to be visible on the outside.
Surprised to see how close it was to the 3A bumblebee. Transcraft really did a goodjob on this one!

I swear I made a comment like this before
he's not a pain to transform. not to me anyway.
@@emgo316 hi. Do you use discord?
@@emgo316 Oh, alright! I'll take your word for it :)
I like learning the things emgo doesn't care about in each new video.
As much as i dislike faux chest pieces, this is a figure with a satisfying level of complexity that enables screen accuracy.
Man the panel lines are crazy I’m not the biggest bumblebee fan in the first place but this guy got some panels.
I don't know why this suddenly hit me now, but at the end with your outro, all I can hear is: "Remember, you don't stop playing 'Bee'cause you grow old, you grow old 'Bee'cause you stop playing. 'Bee' geek, 'Bee' proud!"
I'm sorry, that's all I can hear now, lol! (Also, I'm a big fan of your outro, really cool and it's true!)
XD I can now never unhear this
LIKE I ALWAYS SAID I NEVER LIKED THE THIRD PARTY BUT EVER SINCE I'VE WATCHED YOUR THIRD PARTY REVIEWS I'VE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART!!!!:
I knew it! Emgo will not miss this Bumblebee!
I don't mind fake pieces for better accuracy as long as the regular piece can be hidden away like they did here with hiding the headlights into the legs
This is the most glorious, well-designed transformer I have ever seen. It's beautiful.

thank u emgo you are the main reason why i collect tf figures im almost 3yrs collecting... cant wait to have my transcraft bee ..:)
For some reason I get the feeling the entire figure was designed that way because someone was like, oh hey, the back windows would work well for this designs wings
The engineering on these toys are insane. 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome review emgo!
How many more volkswagen beetle bumblebee is he gonna review this is like literally the 10,000th time XD
I think this figure deserve the title of CRAZIEST Bumblebee ever
I'm considering getting this figure but Emgo makes the transformation look so easy that I'm like fooled by it
For anyone who doesn't know (or cares), the quote on the box is a reference to the song (Don't You) Forget About Me, by Simple Minds. I can't remember off the top of my head if that song was featured in Bumblebee
I am in favor of faux chests if it looks better, such as with this figure.
wow... complex but enjoyable... and screen accurate... i like it...
He has so much detail , and makes it complicated for transforming but not for Emgo
Hey emgo I have Head that there is some new transformer prime one the (attack prime) (dark master) (angel engine) and I love u video it makes me happy thank u for the videos 😀😀😀😀😀👍👍👍👍
This buggers' impressive. The car mode looks a little wonky to me, but holy crap at that robot mode.
Sir, I both love and hate you for this. I now have a deep burning need to buy another Bumblebee figure lol.
All those dislike are from Blitzwing’s friends

To me this is the mpm bumblebee movie bumblebee I haven't got any of the bumblebees for this movie yet but this is the only one I'm getting amazing work they have done genius on how he transforms too
The robot mode is amazing! But the car mode has all the joints everywhere, witch kinda sucks, buts it’s ok I guess.
This is one of the best bumblebee figurs i seen
Have you seen the New OS KO of this guy with all diecast joints? He scales perfect with WJ M09 and Toyworlds BBM Prime
From the thumbnail I clicked I thought this was another 3A type figure. When I clicked the video and this started out in car mode I audibly gasped
I’m not really a fan of how the wheels look in the alt mode but the robot mode is perfect
Got mine today. What an amazing figure. The transformation is so cool and it actually isn't as hard as it looks. MPM 7 was harder for me lmao
Holy crap this is intricate
I am PINING over this version of Bee to add to my collection
Also, I love your content AND your sense of humor
That's really impressive; agree that this is probably as good as it gets while still transforming. I'd take 3A over it, but barely. Their engineer(s) must be insane in a good way.

The fact that we are even REMOTELY comparing a transforming figure to a ThreeA figure is bonkers.
Wow, based on thumbnail I thought this was a non-transforming model. Fantastic detail in robo-mode.
Oh my personally I think this is looking better than ThreeA itself. With that scale he looks superior, and boi did I mention about those thicc legs?
