    Bumblebee is Netflix, Cliffjumper is Earthrise. But both are from the same WFC "mainline" basically.

    It's acceptable, but I don't like Bumblebee being taller than the other minibots, so I prefer TR/LG Bumblebee or Hot Soldiers Bumblebee.

    With you on the scaling for Minibots relative size, Netflix is a bit too "Buff" in comparison for me too - though I'd love Goldbug rehead/redeco -, the TR/LG 'Bee just has a certain Chibi-but-athletic build I still really dig, and is the best modern iteration of the classic 'Bee head design IMHO youthful-looking but not chubby like the MP head designs. 'Netflix is a bit of a stoic, "adult", and chiselled face for me.

    IMHO, he fits in with the Combiner Wars/Titans Return/POTP trilogy Legends perfectly...although as you can see I changed the headsculpt, because personally I didn't find the factory one very appealing....

    This guy and their Swerve are nearly impossible to find now. Any chance of a reissue? Considering Gears was cut from Kingdom there’s a market still.

    I wouldn't bother hunting these down. They're extremely disappointing, as the MFT-MS minibots are friggin' huge and don't fit with the rest of the MFT/MS line. I don't know what they were thinking unless they were trying to supplement someone's CHUG collection, but all of mine went straight into a bin, never to see the light of day.

    I love my MFT collection, but these minibots are a colossal waste of money.

    This is exactly what they were doing with their minibots

    Keep checking HZJ on ebay, he occasionally gets restocks. I just saw one there maybe a month ago and considered picking up a second because I like it so much. He’s on AlieExpress too (Lensple Robot Store is one seller that has him.)

    Between the aesthetics, super robust construction and fun transformation this is my favorite 3P minibot, and I don’t even like Gears that much! Haha. He’s almost big enough to fudge into an Earthrise display too, being nearly as tall as Bumblebee. Hope you can find one!

    If that's true, they really should make that painfully clear up front, as they fit with no other MFT releases. Typically, I see MFT, I press "add to cart". Big mistake, and I'm dumb enough to have made it twice (Huffer and Gears). Just don't want any other MFT Legends collector to waste time and money hunting these down only to have the same sad realization.

    If you're collecting for CHUG... that's ok I guess, but I would hope you have better choices, as these look and feel like chunky little fisher-price toys.

    I made the same mistake around 4 months ago.

    I was looking for bigger Huffer and Gears than MST ones cos I felt they should be slightly-bigger-minibots.

    But the MFT ones are way too big.

    Good thing is they are cheap, though not cheap enough to throw away.

    Since you guys seem to feel like its garbage that you don't want, why not hook up BazingaTronZ who actually wants one?

    You guys realize these came out in 2018, right? Things have changed with the company a lot since then, so not sure if it's MFTs responsibility to continually remind ppl 3+ years later about old stock not fitting in. A quick bit of research with the ol google or even this thread would've clued you in to how tall they are and avoided buyers remorse.
