    So my Bumblebee arrived from ShowZ today. He's great! Glad I picked him up.
    I think he and ROTF Prime contrast nicely with the G1 statues.

    I think that scale between the Primes work.
    G1 Prime is 22ft while Bayverse Prime is 28ft.
    Though Bee is bigger than he should be. But it doesn't bother me since he's just that good.

    Bumblebee feels really solid in hand too. I definitely would not call him "fragile" as I saw another poster do.

    Agreed. The guy said we'd understand once he's in our hands but no, it's another solid DLX release.
    Only things that are "fragile" are the pieces on ball joints. And those just pop off when you mishandle the figure.

    As cool as this looks, I'd love to see them do a movie 1 version.

    Does anyone have this bee and the premium scale TLK Optimus? I have a feeling this bee will be too small for the big optimus and too large for the DLX one that's coming out...

    Well I found this image of Premium Prime with DLX BBBB.
    157FF3F7-0BDC-49D8-88BF-76C7234ECC78.png And take into account DLX TLK Bee is hardly taller than him.

    Love the bayverse, and it\'s no fault of ThreeZero, but I\'ve always disliked the Last Knight Bee\'s design. I mean, not the design itself, but the proportions. He has the body shape of a child. Big head, really small chest, stout legs. It just looks bad.

    It's basically DOTM Bee but with a bigger head and other minor differences.

    Perfect side by side. Shows why I love the left so much more. Makes TLK look so goofy

    Thanks! Yeah he definitely won't go well with my premium OP. Too bad cause that's the main reason I would have potentially gotten this.
    I disagree that it looks bad but it is definitely odd that they went backwards with the proportions. If anything these should have been his proportions in the first couple of movies, then gradually he gets more "mature". Bee is not exactly a "kid" but he's definitely not portrayed as a real adult. I think of him as like a guy in his early 20s, mentally.

    I love many of Bayverse's designs and own like 90% of the SS line, so I'm no hater. But Bayverse's Bee's head, along with the twins are the most repulsive head designs for me, and the TLK version is the worst amongst the Bees. I used the word repulsive because, while there are uglier/monstrous looking head designs, those goes well with the whole body design/characters (e.g. Starscream, Barricade, Wheeljack/Que), but Bees & Twins are like... plain ugly/disfigured heads on regular looking bodies. They should be adorable, approachable characters, but turned out looking like freakshows to me. Fortunately, battlemasked Bees look great, so all my Bayverse Bee figures got the battlemask on. That skeletal sculpt just doesn't fit Bee's character to me.

    It's as if Bay ordered the "comic relief" bots must look like derivatives of Jar Jar Binks.
