    Different Bumblebee (Beetle vs. Camaro) but same cassettes.

    Makes me wonder if the Noise and Graphy molds aren't around, so they're sort of making up for it by just releasing the existing pair twice. Because otherwise the logical thing would have obviously been to split all four molds over the two boxes.

    The track list on the back of the box is hilarious.

    With a different head and paint this would be great as IDW Bumblebee in the earlier books.

    I'm hoping they're still out there and that doing it this way was just a ploy to get us to buy both box sets

    The Translucent version is the Deception, the solid is the original Autobot. They pair up over the two bumblebee sets to form the original Autoot tape pair, who combine as Legout, and their clear Decepticon duplicates.

    It's been demostrated from the packaging pictures of the yellow one that the mask is actually a removeable mask- so this will have both unless they somehow omit the battle mask.

    I'm a fan of both G1 Bumblebee and VW Beetles, and I was wondering something. What size is this "Gold Bee", & how does he compare with Masterpiece Bumblebee? It seems to be larger, which shouldn't be hard to do since the MP is tiny. Will this be standard Deluxe Class or Voyager sized?

    The gold Volkswagen Bumblebee actually resembles IDW Centurion.

    From the pictures, it looks like almost none of his leg is required for transformation so I wonder how many people will edit his legs down to give him the more squat look he has in the movies? I could see customizing it so that the feet are far higher up to around mid-shin.

    Didn't catch the 4.5 inches sizing the last time, interesting. Probably alt mode size, SS 74 Camaro comes out to 5 inches vehicle length
