    MP G2 Bee looks good! I still wish that his wheels were chromed, and I hold out hope that an exclusive vac-metal/chrome version gets made. And what about getting a Glyph or BugBite from this mold, why not?

    I wonder how a Hasbro version might look. Would it be vastly different in color like MP Hot Rod was, or would it be almost indistinguishable from it's Takara counterpart like the US MP Optimus was? Maybe they'd make him a less buttery yellow, and give him a more bright/light shade and a silver face, instead of pale gray. If the Spike/Exo-suit were excluded, that would be OK, but I'd still want his alternate faces & jetpack, at least.

    There's been no word on a US release yet, right?

    What's with the blue drop on his face mask? :lol  I expect those kind of mistakes on retail copies, not MEDIA copies! :/

    I love this Bee, but is that color accurate? What kind of light is that?

    I feel like we need to see him in SUNLIGHT to get a better sense of his "gold", which I know will not be gold at all. Is it too much to ask that they chrome-gold him??? Or I guess that's only "lucky draw" junk now, huh? :banghead:

    While I understand how you feel I'm actually sort of glad they didn't chrome it all over. It's not as fancy this way but I feel like it is a bit closer to how it would look in real life.

    The masked face makes it worth it. I only se could get a Deluxe Bumblebee with that face.

    I wish they would've included that stand to get him to 'fly,' but I'm still going to really enjoy this guy.

    This needs a 3P Goldbug head. Twist the back kibble around and voila, Goldbug!

    ...So the tooling for the G1 logo is still there, and we get a sticker for the other side of the panel?





    TRU pad the prices on the cars, and it probably won't be before summer next year at the earliest.

    Just buy the TT one and be done with it.

    I like the colors almost looks better then my mp-21 Bumblebee but I think a lot of it just the wow factor. When they are both out I'm sure I'll appreciate the original more.

    Still. Looks pretty cool with the jet pack. I'd like one of those for MP-01 or my MP-10. I seen some kinda 3rd party one but not looking this official or cool imo
