    It doesn't matter if its a painting, or a car, or a plastic action figure, when i invest money into something i want to know what I'm getting. Mistransformed photos on CHUG figures are to be expected because they have a much smaller budget than an MP figure, but if I'm investing over $120usd on a figure, I damn well want to know properly what poses it can hit, what ranges and joints i get, and at the bare minimum photos of the figure looking how the designers intended in both modes.

    I don't think people are out there by being miffed about mistransformations in marketing photos.

    I think it really depends on what you want in your collection.

    The recent g1 MP's seem to be striving hard to hit that on screen cartoon appearance. v1 bee looked just like a regular Volkswagen with a semi-acurate robot mode (based on the g1 cartoon whos scale is up for debate anyway), but thats just it; If you wanted a show accurate bee then this new one is going to hit those marks by looking like a squished penny racer, and a slimmer robot mode (i'm mainly talking in the torso, i know about the backpack and that thing is naf)

    I think if you want an MP Bee that hits a more realistic car mode and wanna pair it with mp10, the original cant be beaten. If you want a more toon accurate one to park beside mp44, 2.0 may look pretty tempting

    Stop letting interns set up stock pics, HasTak. Theres no app to help them...

    ...also, i hope the delay was for those amoeba and Mike Tyson tattoo stickers.

    With all this talk of bumblebee’s stock photography, what if Hasbro did prime’s?

    rrmmm... Those are called feets.
    They don't LOOKS like feets, but they are.
    They look like flat surfaced auto body panels all laid flat on top of each other,
    OH WAIT, they ARE flat surfaced auto body panels all laid flat on top of each other.
    The first one did it better imo.

    Yikes!! The more I see this guy, the more I think it may be the worst executed Transformer of all time.
    Yeeesh. No thanks.

    That's the most hyperbolic statement I've ever read in my entire life.
    Yeeesh.

    I still think this toy is good enough to be in the top 5 MPs ever made. Yes I already have it, just in case you want to use the "How can you say that without seeing it." rebuttal. :)

    Never understood why anyone with a distaste for a product would go into that thread only to express their negative view(s).

    Hypothetical silly situations:

    I dont like chicken, so I go into a KFC restaurant and tell everyone there I dont like chicken.

    Or I goto a Porsche dealership and tell them their cars are way over priced and I'm going to get the KO.

    Too much bafoonery happening. SMH.

    I cant wait for this awesome guy along with Hound. I'm excited were getting this level of engineering, paint and positive enthusiasm for our toy hobby.

    Because this is a discussion thread where people can highlight/critique things they don't like.
    If someone is so delicate that they can't handle that then go the the Bumblebee appreciation thread where everything is awesome.
    Where do I stand? I actually don't mind this little guy. His fewert are atrocious and his backpack isn't the greatest but I love his litlle car mode.

    Or he can post here with delicate whiners who can’t handle comments about their whining. Jdk504 had a great point.

    Can’t wait for MP Bumblebee 2.0!

    Ah but Dean, you are one of the people who can't handle negative critiques of figures you like (MP-44 amd MP-45). That's the only reason why you say redwolf has a great point.
    It's a discussion thread. Discussion goes both ways.

    I get the heart stickers but I find it hard to imagine anyone wanting to semi-permanently apply a big Morphobot sticker or Cosmic rust or ice cream drip on their MP Bumblebee. Unless of course it’s not a sticker sheet but more like a window cling, reusable rubbery sheet.

    Have to question how many times they’re going to mistransform poor MP-45 after seeing the previous backpack quirk in what was supposedly leaked version and his forearm flaps below his hands here...

    LOL, calling someone an idiot just because they have a different point of view. That is very positive and constructive. You truly have beaten us with your experience.

    Even he's properly transformed...he still looks mistransformed.
