    Random that these are legends scaled. I do wish they where SS scaled cause I think that Bee doesn’t looks half bad.

    LOVE that they went with robot-accurate headlights, even if it makes the alt mode look less like a VW Beetle

    Fake chest on Prime means an instant no. And honestly it looks like it suffers from it in truck mode.

    The chest on 'Bee looks like it might be the actual front of the car, with the center bumper fitting over the lower part. Hoping due to no room for a faux chest that there is none. If true and pricing is good, I'll grab one.

    All said, I'm VERY interested in Bay Movie/Bee Movie legends figures.

    If they did a Bay Ironhide and Peterbilt Prime that would be great to go with Scavanger/Demolisher.

    Hm they seem to be losing track on what to focus on. MP Bayverse drift,MP Beast Wars terrorsaur, and now Bumblebee movie legends scale figures. Let’s not pull a maketoys here.

    Wish it was Studio Series scale to replace the Volkswagen BB in my collection but I'm probably gonna pick that Bumblebee up.

    Interesting, the bee might be too small for ss scale, right? But if it's really good it could make for a fun pocket figure.

    What’s the height on these guys. Bc core class megatron is 3.5” and new age optimus is 4.5” so I’m just wondering if this optimus will scale with the kingdom core class megatron? Bc I customized mine and it’s a WIP to be more like a movie version kinda

    The heights are right there in the first picture. 11.7cm for Prime, 7.5cm for Bee. Prime's going to be taller than NA Prime by about .7cm

    I hope they do the whole line up from Bumblebee - Wheeljack, Ironhide, Ratchet, Arcee, Brawn.
    For collectors who prefer smaller size with good detailing, these 2 look brilliant.

    Woah, judging by this new image it looks like they significantly redesigned it since the initial reveal. Maybe they saw Lucky Cat’s BB and knew they had to do better to stay competitive.

    They're gonna have to work really fast if they don't want all their business taken by luckycat. I already ordered one and this one's gonna have to be a lot better.
