    It's the proportions! He's kinda stocky and short in areas like the torso and arms. The necessary details are there but it's a lil chonky

    It has the potential to be a better MPM3, now somebody needs to refine and undersize it.

    I think that thing beats the mpm mold. It is builky, chest piece is more accurate. It is not in scale with anything but can be acceptable with ls03 as the mechtech dotm bee.

    The improvements are great for this mold, but no one wants a foot-tall bumblebee that scales with nothing. Also the head is way too small for the body. Someone needs to USKO this OSKO!

    As someone who missed out on the MPM Bee KO repaint, I would have loved to have had this guy as a stand in. But he's just too damn big. That and I hate super transparent windows. I don't know why it's so rare to get dark tinted windows on Transformers as it does wonders to hide the internal kibble.

    If this is MPM sized, I have no doubt to double dip in this

    Why do we get a Bumblebee too big for anyone's collection but no upscaled SS Sentinel Prime?

    Why do 3rd parties only care about Bee and Prime?

    I really wonder what the tolerances and plastic quality is like on this guy. Size aside, It really is a damn good and movie accurate Bumblebee figure. I may even like the look of this guy more than the MPM. Also that unmasked headsculpt is beautiful, one of if not he best movie Bee facesculpts I've seen on a figure. I would love a downsized version of it to put on my MPM Bee. The only real gripe I have (other than size) is it doesn't look like his wrists swivel meaning he's got those gorilla arms going for on. I would 100% buy a downsized version of this figure.

    They are not so popular. But i want a os ss sentinel too. It need not so much work: articulated hands, good paint and a shield like dna tadaam. And i still waiting for os ss wreckers, because tf dream factory robot modes are total trash. I understand why bmb not making a dotm os ss megatron: it need to many modification, but the sentinel and wreckers mold are good as shockwave and rotf megatron mold was.

    Pretty sure he has wrist swivel. You can see his left hand rotated in this pic.

    Outside of his size, one thing I don't like about this figure is his mask. This head is clearly not the same as SS-49 which ultimately looks better and movie accurate. So why the heck did they not just oversize that head? Its weird for them to oversize SS-49 but not the figure's head itself...
