    I’ve never really noticed that electronics back pack was integrated into the figure. I thought it was removable

    I’m honestly reconsidering my preorder. I hate that. I’ve not payed yet.

    Anyone have color picks of the unwanted electronics compartment in question painted?

    Thats what I have been preaching all along. Takara is dropping the ball on some of these newer MP's while Hasbro is uping up the anty BIG TIME!

    Streak + is also priced to Takara's as well so we've got two that carry the original price. I just don't think we should be hoping Hasbro decides to price what is sure to be a big seller despite the insane price tag lower.

    I shall now start complaining that MPs are too cheap. Takara is crazy if they're selling Prime 3.0 for anything less than $1000!

    4.0 will be 3 inches smaller, have the entire alt mode on the back, and cost $1200 USD.

    notice how the new masterpiece bumblebee looks more mistransformed at the back, I think you can get the back to be more clean

    Unless Takara only had one day to take pictures of their own product we've seen a ton of official pics from that that make it pretty clear he's not mistransformed, just badly engineered by someone who thought they were so much more clever then the guy who did the first MP Bee.

    Except they are way clever since they were assigned a task and challenge. Meanwhile the previous designer had creative freedom to make a bumblebee which was kinda accurate.

    For what it could have been, I call MP Bumblebee a swing and a miss.

    Why is Prime listing to one side? Bee's head is abnormally large for his body

    Rotated the photo of Jazz's packaging, which upside down is one of the better images we have of a properly transformed robot mode

    The terrible Bee 2.0 begs to differ at them being clever.
