    There’s no lab coat. I showed Sam the sticker sheet. He identified the stickers for me. Wish there was a lab coat though.

    Hey @Phamduc, you don't want to reveal the pictures, but how about showing some of them to @ambitron so that he can do the same awesome traces he did before. Then you can show everyone the traces, without technically showing them the photos :D 

    Just a thought, I know ambitron's a Bumblebee super-fan, plus he did such a great job with these:

    Yeah he has grown on me a lot since the first reveal, and it is hard to believe he comes out only a month after MP-44. This year has been a great year for MP's.

    My apologies. I should have said that @Sam found a lab coat from a totally separate toy maker. It’ll fit Bee but there may have to be some slight alterations. MP-45 seems to be skinnier than MP-21 so it may prove to be a better fit. Sorry for the confusion.

    Sam, do you still have that picture or the link to the lab coat?

    on the back of alt mode where we untab the trunk , you can manage to have a big enough slot to insert a coin, exactly like a penny racer

    lol i look back at these photos and notice how horribly mistransformed the back is. The waist panel should slot onto the torso

    Did he have a lab coat? I often think of windcharger when that’s mentioned. Yeah
    Gosh those are so good. Always there to remind me of how great this guy is.

    Takara really has thought of vererything. I'm really hoping they're planning a Cliffjumper in this style.

    it's very good
    this setting in photo or 2D plane make this setting very bloated out , but in hand you quickly get over it , because when holding in hand you will feel such back presence diminish really fast

    i still think it's just some afterthought since you still have to slightly untab the back of alt mode , but it's great that they made such homage

    If you can answer this. Does the back tab in more than this picture, or is this the correct way?

    that's the correct way. can push the backwaist panel a tiny bit up more but that's it
