    Sigh. I usually roll my eyes at folks who complain "it's not G1 enough" but....this isn't G2 enough. G2 Bumblebee was reflective to an absurd degree. I want to see a reflection of the photographer in those pictures.

    All of my yes. I hope Bee and Swipe sold good enough to justify Geetoo Grims, Prime and Screamer. Then again, TakTom doesn't usually need an excuse to release a new Convoy figure every few months. Make it happen!

    It's cheaper than MP21, includes the battle mask, doesn't have Spike... think I'm sold :p

    I want to put him right next to Sideswipe and G2 Classics Jazz.

    Although, maybe we'll get an MP G2 Jazz, and then an MP G2 Ramjet, and then EVERYONE will look at my masterpiece shelf and know how crazy I really am!

    ... I love this. But he needs wing mirrors. Minor gripe. I like the gold paint, even if it's not full G2 vacmetal. This may be my first masterpiece purchase. (they don't pay me enough to afford all the TFS I want. Because I would just have all of them.)

    It comes with one wing mirror (same as the original MP-21) which is authentic to the Beatle. You can see the mirror in with the accessories in the first photograph - you just need to place it yourself. :)

    So I love it, and while I was on the fence previously I'm probably gonna get in on this guy. The question remains, though - is his chest symbol the G2 logo, now? That would be amazing. :D

    Looks like they didn't get the sticker sheet included.

    For those asking, there is no moulded autobot logo. You can clearly see in bot mode the two little indentations on the sides of his panel indicating that it has been flipped over, but is moulded smooth to allow for either the G1 or G2 Autobot sticker.

    It doesn't look like the tooling for the logo is there, you'll have to use a sticker for either logo

    Does anyone still have MP-21G available for preorder?

    As a sticker yes, both logos are stickers.

    I didn't want the normal one at all, but that mask really does make a difference

    I wish he was Goldbug or chrome. Not something in between. But he looks great.

    It goes under the front of the car. No VW in the history of ever put a tire on the back. That is where the engine is.
