    Hi! Guys this is my first time doing a topic on here so if this is the wrong place for this then sorry. Anyways I know that Tarkara hasn't done any MP of Goldbug yet but has there been a 3rd party MP Goldbug out. I know I think I have seen one before but that one what I saw look like a Combiner one and I'm not for that one. I also know about the G2 MP Bumblebee so that one I don't want either. I just want to know if there is a 3rd party version of MP Goldbug. Thanks.

    Toyworld Throttlebots - that's the closest you'll get at the moment I think.
    Toyworld TW-T Not-Throttlebot Combiner

    I will say that even though it's not G1 accurate (Mini Cooper instead of a Beetle, for starters) and he's part of a combiner, ToyWorld's Shinebug is pretty great. He's shorter than an MP carboy but taller than MP Bumblebee. As for the combining thing, if you didn't know it going in you wouldn't know it from handling the toy. In fact, if it weren't for him coming with important combiner kibble he's not even necessary since he just forms a backpack.

    He's so nice that I don't have combined with the rest of it. Stands in bot mode in front.

    I proudly display that KO with my MP collection. It has the best light piping I have ever seen.

    I went with the OS version of him by WeiJeing. I consider him an upgraded Bumblebee that can stand with the pack instead of the wimpy but luckily courageous one I never liked very much ;)

    He ain't no MP but a CHUG figure, but I still think United Bee with the Beelzeboss Growing Pain kit blends in with the line.

    Toyworld Bii makes a perfect MP Goldbug if you wanna get your hands dirty:

    I was just wondering: If the Beelzeboss head is compatible with BII, one could just use it on the metallic version and have a shiny Goldbug without getting his hands dirty...

    Edit: Did you mod the backbapack?

    Beelzeboss head is larger and it pegs on to a smaller post. Some modding would be necessary.

    Neither MP, but Art Feather Goldbug kind of works (I am used to comic Goldbug so I painted some parts).

    I so completely missed TW gold Bii. I wanted to get it, but only saw pre-orders for a set (with the blue one) and then all of sudden he was gone.

    Why don't you like shinebug? He is part of the combiner for some reason, but he just folds into something useless on the back. He's not built to be an arm or a leg.
