This set is so absurdly good. I love it so much, the transformation is PERFECT (you can't even imagine how hard is to design a transformable G1 Bumblebee, imagine doing it using just LEGO bricks), and the few changes it has compared to the G1 design make it look even cooler (rear wheels as shoulder pads and the collapsed front hood as the boots). 10/10 sets, no doubt about it. I think I've never been this excited about an official set here on my channel.
Very clever engineering in how Bee transforms while remaining solid, and somewhat articulated. Inaccuracies really don't bother me as this definitely feels like old school Bee, with about the same updated look/engineering seen across the Legacy toy line. Car mode though not large, is a nice comfortable 8 wide size, and looks to be about the approximation of a chibbified Beetle. While the feet, and legs could be a bit better/articulation considering the smaller scale really like how he turned out over all. Feels like a good year to get both Prime, and Bumblebee as they both look and scale nicely together. Not accurately but close enough.
Lego created a new joint for Bumblebee to transform. I would probably add knee joints (like I did to Optimus Prime). It looks amazing, can't wait to build and transform it 😀
Given that Optimus could transform without any real partsforming, you'd expect them to be able to do something similar for Bumblebee here. The only reason I can think is that it would be too complex otherwise, but I still wish it didn't have to partsform, even if only for one step
I never understood why people complain about partsforming. It's really not that bad and it's been a thing since G1 and people didn't complain about it in the 80s so why are people complaining about it now?
@@Jason49110 To be clear: Weapons partsforming isn't a big deal to most TF fans. Weapons are just accessories, so if you lose them, you still have the robot to mess with, thus no harm no foul. But say that partsforming is REQUIRED for the transformation? Not only is it seen as lazy engineering, if you lose that part, well the toy isn't going to function as good as it normally would. Earthrise Cliffjumper is an example of that, as his WHOLE rear end of his car mode is detachable and used as a shield. If you lose that, his car mode is ruined. In Lego's case, partsforming is expected, but they managed to make a fully transformable Optimus Prime, with only ONE piece needing to be partsformed, and that was optional. This isn't like Hasbro's Kre-o where everything had to be built and rebuilt to be transformed, there's some precedent here. Hope that clears things up, and apologies if this comes off as rambling.
@@Sp4dester you can store the back of the car on his back though I guess it would be annoying if the partsformed part didn't have anywhere to store on the robot mode, which means it's more prone to getting lost. But besides that I don't get it
@@Jason49110 The issue here is that the partsforming serves no real purpose, it's tacked on to the back because 'it needed somewhere to go' It doesn't make the robot mode look more cohesive like with earthrise Cliffjumper, it was clearly an after thought
@@hachiroku24 To be honest, I think you would design a great soundwave figure. I tried it on my own in bricklink studio but didnt have motivation to finish it. But I was very happy with the design for the head.
I think this set looks great! I can understand the limitations it has, such as no knees and stuff, so that's not a big deal for me. I am 100% gonna buy this!
Could I suggest a future project I'm desperate to see realized in Lego form? Basically a Mecha Gamera that can actually transform from a turtle form into a flying turtle with jets. Would be cool to see some extra bits like the scutes on the shell lifting up and revealing canons or other kinds of weapons like Blastoise or just having extra jets there like pop up headlights but turned the other way around. Mecha Godzilla gets all the fun but I think Mecha Gamera or some sort of a giant turtle megazord of your own imagination would be super super cool to see as well. I love and adore what you do and what you can do. Keep being awesome!
@@2660MHz The scale that they were going for, they wanted to make it in scale with the Lego Optimus Prime set, which limits on what they can do... including the pieces they use and how the set transforms from robot to alt mode.. Plus they were going for G1 cartoon accuracy, and the G1 toy they were using did not help them at all, they had to use Parts forming due to the way it had to transform... so that was ultimately a sacrifice they had to make. You also gotta think about it from a business perspective as well... budget and part count... those can be possible restrictions, licensing for the VW Beetle, they probably couldn't obtain it so they wanted to have the same feel as the Beetle, but not actually be one Hope that this clears it up
@@Springboi9832I mean it doesn't scale right with Optimus (and it was never going to because that would've been impossible) so they should've just gone bigger and had it at a similar price and size to Optimus
Me, who spent money on bricks to build my own bumblebee based on hachi's video, but didn't finish upgrading the lego optimus, and the official bb gets out 🙃
@@Trija204Same, I would have preferred to get Megatron before Bumblebee, personally, but given how popular he is, I'm not surprised Bee was prioritized
@@Trija204I don't see Megatron happening sadly since LEGO doesn't make military sets... Which includes tanks.... And before you say "they can make him a gun instead!" A gun is even worse since LEGO is a company targetted towards younger people
Building the model in *CAR mode* _(and not in _*_robot mode_*_ like for Optimus Prime)_ is quite interresting. I would let the Autobot Symbol on the roof in both alternate and robot mode though...
This set is really cool but I gotta say your moc blows it out of the water I think it would be the absolute best g1 bumblebee if you possibly swapped out the gold parts for the yellow ones on this set and if you swapped the heads
i have some minor gripes with it, esp that it should have been a little smaller to be more in scale with Optimus, but mostly it is a good build and i will definitely get one at some point. P.S just bought your "Ideas Insects" set today, cant wait to build it when it arrives in the post. beautiful set
If the car was just a car from the Speed series I'd love it. It looks like a tricked out bug. It doesn't look anything like 1984 G1 cartoon BB and that's what they were doing with these no?
Tbh they nailed the car mode but the robot not really as there is better build then this which more accurate and has a decent car mode but something people don’t realize is the playability and user friendly transformation much like Optimus prime where they original toy didn’t look like Optimus but still had a truck mode and was amazing at the time so i see them taking inspiration from g1 first toy and try and make a figure that can get handled alot without falling apart
Yes, but if you go for a smaller scale, you would either have to lose structural stability or make the transformation worse. The partsforming on this one is clear that they really couldn’t have done any better at this scale, let alone smaller
It's a fun set to build but not absurdly good. It's difficult to make a completely rounded car out of square blocks so kudos to them for doing it. Also, tough to make it rounded AND transform. However, the transformation is needlessly complicated, way more than Optimus Prime is. I feel there are ways to change it and make it better. It's a good set tho overall.
This guy's not even out yet, but I'm already reworking that windshield design. For starters, not a fan of the blue windows at all, so that all needs to be black - either transblack or normal black. If possible, I'd like to make it convert into something more useful instead of the weak 'wings' it is now. Although not G1 accurate, Bee has used a big viking hammer before which plays into his (historically inaccurate) viking helmet, so maybe that's the way to go.
What do you do with all the sets after you buy them? Do you part them out, or put them on display? I would also really like to know how you store and organize all your pieces for Mocs.

Honestly, I think your Bumblebee is better. But this set is pretty cool
hi, make a venator like in the skywalker saga using lego parts
You should compare that to your bumbulbee moc.
We need some Bayverse designs stat. They don't even need to transform, a giant lego 2007 Prime would be unbelievably fire
Now we need a Megatron with Soundwave or Starscream
Make More Lego Transformers Mocks
The backpack probably could've been done better, but let's be fair, this is the best possible bumblebee we'll get in lego.
Wow! first Optimus and now Bumblebee! Who's next? Megatron?
Sadly no
Awesome thank you for sharing
I've seen this set get a lot or hate, and all their claims are EXTREMELY stupid, Lego did the best that they could with the restrictions that they had
restrictions?

I agree. But restrictions? No, Lego did the best they can with the best Lego elements available.
They should make a soundwave next
Knowing Lego prob Megatron then Starscream then Grimlock then Soundwave
Maybe they would make Megatron as a Jet. Lego is going here in the G1 theme.
Maybe when they learn how to make stable knees
Now all we need is a Megatron
And a lot of luck.
We also need a Soundwave.
And a Starscream
We won't get megatron. If anything, we are more likely to get Soundwave
