    It’s highly likely that the wings are leftovers from an earlier version of the film model, but this guy looks so accurate otherwise that at this point I’m almost convinced there will be a point in the movie where Bumblebee “matures”, and the wings fold out. The only figures of this Bumblebee that don’t have the wings are a few of the gimmick figures.

    Wings aside, this looks absolutely fantastic. Easy day one buy.

    What if he DOES have his wings up at some point in the movie?

    I do not need a masterpiece that represents anything less than the definitive version of a character. Therefore I will try my best to resist purchasing this figure. (Probably still gonna buy it though.......stupid hasbro.....)

    Also I want it noted that I called that he would be based on concept art waaaaay back when rumors of this guy first started circulating, before we’d seen any promo material or figures.

    Maybe next time they should wait for a final cgi model before making a ‘Masterpiece’ figure. It’s just as inaccurate as the Studio Series version which is a shame.

    Pretty sweet! We’re those packaging art pictures of Bee with wings just bs concept pics to make the deluxe and MPM seem not as bad? Still, this looks pretty great! And I’m so glad he doesn’t have the Bumblepiggy face like the deluxe!

    Yeah. But it was kind of obvious since the start.

    This line has not been more than disappointing, for different reasons.


    First we get wrong color and model, then the controversial case of Prime, delays and delays, then inaccurate representation that contradicts the norm of the line. (wich is why it's being made)


    MAYBE if only they cared a bit, maybe just a bit of their own line, everything would be better.

    Since the day we knew Hasbro was in charge io the MPMs we were expecting nothing but bad things.

    eh, 5 movie lines later i can't even be surprised. if they don't bother making the first passes at designs accurate then they can make twice the money by releasing a more accurate version later.

    No idea what you’re talking about. This is the only figure I’ve been disappointed in out of the entire line.

    I don't really have an issue with the toys having the wings. I assume they will pop up when he feels confident or something during the film. I dunno

    Oof. Have to disagree on this looking good, to be honest. It has some really cool elements, but overall, it's just kind of a mess. The giant backpack, the super thin waist, whatever is going on with the face, legs that look really thin and could have used the rear wheel housing there instead of on the wings...And of course, wheels behind the arms, because apparently the old 07 camaro is the only Bumblebee toy allowed to get that right. :/ I mean, I know they're working off of concept art here, but I just keeping seeing so many areas where it could have been improved with not too much trouble and it's honestly a bit of a shame.

    Not going to lie though, I kind of wonder what the KO companies will do with this. Even if it's a concerning trend that the KOs tend to be cheaper and better then the official thing...
