    Looks to be the right size according to the movie’s scale.

    gun mode looks bad but can't really be mad since we don't even know what the alt mode actually looks like

    This is actually got me thinking tho, Hasbro’s releasing a SS scaled BB Shockwave next year. I wonder what that'll turn into.

    I'm glad they're still making more Bumblebee movie figures. Though I feel like his torso should be bulkier? I don't know, he just looks wider in the movie.

    @Illiterate Scholar he might be bulkier in the movie (I don't know :D ) but as we can see this guy is very nice...plus he would just end up transforming into an even wider pile of something. ;)

    I really hope him transforming into basically nothing means the cost is kept down.

    Hot take: transforming figures based off the Cybertron Scene Cast, especially as an MPM or Three Zero scale, are inherently bad and borderline predatory regarding collectors. This of course is going to change with Studio Series providing alternate modes to the cast, but at the moment the robot modes are a beacon of nostalgia for people. You guys will pay for em, and pay extra if they are big and accurate in robot mode. The problem is, engineering shoots up the partscount and therefore price point of a figure, and with no established alt mode these companies can spit out whatever and you will pay out of pocket for em. Non-transforming statues are of course fine because you get what you pay for: a well scaled, accurate robot. But like, look at the...not submarine (?) and tell me you wanna pay a bit more for that mode. One of the selling points they called out during the panel is "It transforms!" ...yep. You guys deserve better, you shouldn't have to settle, just be patient. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

    ……. It’s predatory to give people what they want?

    Dam let’s go to Hasbro and complain about their Cybertron scene figures. They’re predatory!!!

    I could have worded it better, but you get what I mean right? If you want a big one that transforms, wait till they tell us what it turns into, then a third party will get right to work. If you want just looks for robot, get a statue or something. Otherwise you're paying more for a figure that has an inflated part count/price point and only one decent looking mode out of the deal.

    They already told us what they turn into in the BB movie extras.

    Also there are no other BB shockwaves coming that we know of, so what else would we buy?

    1. My apologies, they did tell us. I still don't think the alt mode looks great, but it hits the criteria of "somewhat resembles space gun"
    2. Another my bad, Yolopark showed one off but it hasn't released yet and likely costs a fortune like their Optimus. This at the moment is the best we got.
    3. If this is the most accurate one on the market, then yeah go for it. I'm just against the idea of some companies just slightly resembling the described shape while very obvious robot parts are in alt mode. They just don't look super coherent to me.
    4. Again super sorry I sidetracked this thread, was just a thought in my head.

    @wreckgar39 i'd agree with you except for this shockwave which only has yolopark's basically nonexistent offering to compete with, and threezero prime is still a lot more expensive than most transforming ones. ditto soundwave.

    Are the figures of the other characters that go with him made by the same company? Been away from collecting for a while but I need this whole cast.

    I just noticed he's missing this trademark wire hooked to his left hand. The wire was definitely in the movie.

    Ehhhh that's flawed because all those extras do is list what the characters have turned into in other continuities. Otherwise, the BB Ironhide turns into a GMC Topkick or BB Cliffjumper into a Porsche 924.

    It’s an official source telling us vehicle modes so companies use it. You have more accurate vehicle modes to go off of?
