    gonna have to see the prototype and how it scales to the others because at this point, based upon the silhouette alone, it looks horrible.

    Hmm... I don't mean to start something here, but it kind of looks like his roof might be on his back.

    Either way, I look forward to a proto pic to see the figure better. And whatever it looks like, I'll probably still buy it because just from that pic I can tell its Bumblebee.

    The large feet point to this being more like a real-world VW than the G1 toy. Until we see him in vehicle mode or next to another MP though we won't know whether the vehicle modes scale.

    The thighs just look a little thin next to those feet.

    The long awaited Bumblebee silhouette is finally revealed and......I'm a little disappointed. The feet are too big, but I guess there's no way around it.

    Yup, thighs and arms look disproportionally small compared to the feet on this silhouette

    I dunno; playing around with levels, it looks like the roof is on the chest from what little I can tell.

    And if iGear could pull it off I imagine the MP designers can too.

    This is the best I could do

    [​IMG]

    Rough translation of his tweet.

    "While the release of the MP-20 Wheeljack has been determined, the whole picture will eventually be shown. The developer working under me will be releasing more information to share very soon. The photograph is a silhouette of the prototype. By all means, please look forward to the follow-up."

    Same here. Threw it in Pixlr.com, but that was about as good as I got it. It does look like a windscreen on the chest, exactly where it belongs (and where it would be expected).

    I second that. The only way to have the feet proportions satisfactory is to apply some mass-shifting of some sort.

    I think Bee shared almost similar transformation scheme with MP wheeljack... so the skinny thighs and crotch is expected.

    Bee's supposed look like a weak PoS. (Therefore, DAMN YOU MICHAEL BAY!!) So I'm perfectly happy with his slightly goofy proportions.

    Looks pretty good. Its the details like the face that are most important, though.

    Finally, a confirmation from Takara. It's going to be a nice second half of the year.
