    Very Nice!
    Same shoulders as earthrise cliffjumper and co -> i assume cybertronian bee will be at the same size, which is very good!

    AND... he seems to be compatible with the C.O.M.B.A.T. system : he has 5mm holes and 3mm pegs, even on his gun: Awesome! I am glad hasbro continues in this direction

    So what I'm getting at is, this is basically Siege Bumblebee?

    Yeah, for sure. And again, with Bee's size I can't imagine the difficulty of engineering something like this. Kibble is to be expected.

    That Origins Bee Head... OMG.
    They got it RIGHT!

    He doesn't look angry.
    He doesn't look constipated.
    He doesn't look like a bug
    He doesn't look derpy.
    He looks like G1 Bumblebee!

    I might get 12 of him just for head swapping.

    What I love the most about this release is that is an actual Cybertronian looking Bumblebee instead of the "Let's make this a slightly weird looking vehicle just so we can slightly remould it later into an actual Earth vehicle" from Siege.

    You have to respect Bee as a character.

    I am an old school, OG geewunner who NEVER liked Bumblebee, yet have owned three official versions of him: the original, Takara Legends, and the tiny Buzzworthy. The last two partially for an exosuit Spike and Daniel. However, the TR mold is decent, and I like the idea of Bee being a tiny guy.

    AND I have entertained picking up two or three 3rd party legends scale versions in order to find the sweet spot between mold accuracy and personal size preference.

    And now I am entertaining picking up this guy.

    It makes me wonder how many collectors who DO NOT collect multiples have their transformers collection... and their Bumblebee collection.

    Oh wow, they actually did it!
    Face looks a bit chubby but overall this seems to be really well done.
    Love that his chest is actually part of his vehicle mode!

    Hopefully we'll get to see some of the other upcoming Buzzworthy figures soo too! Very much looking forward to how the rumored Animated Bumblebee and MPM '77 Camaro turn out.

    Finally. I hope he isn't a nightmare to get.
    I don't think any of the e-tailers touched the buzz worthy line.

    Also, since this is a separate whatever line, I hope he's still to scale with WFC.

    Looks like a homerun of a figure. I'm very excited.

    I'd love a Wheeljack and Jazz at some point, too.

    I'm pretty certain i have to buy this. If he has the round tyre circle thing on his back then that just clinches it. Also i'm so surprised they didnt just do a new WFC Cosmos and have Cybertronian bumblebee as a retool

    I'd love to see this in Kingdom packaging with the wraparound box art.

    Funniest think is that none of the Siege molds were retooled to ER with the exception of Megatron and Soundwave if I remember correctly, and for Kingdom it’s just Sideswipe (and his mates) and Mirage

    They wasted an entire year just to take the piss out of it within a year. It’s incredible.

    So, has anyone else noticed that the robot chest becomes the actual front of the hovercraft mode and isn't just a faux piece? That's really cool!
