    And half of the car doesn’t partsform on the deluxe either

    Agreed. A Mold that doesn't rely on parts forming is sorta a plus. Less chance for lost parts.

    A Dollar Store Shared Exclusive? Now that would be interesting. They really need a good way to combat those knock-offs.

    Haha, I know, I’m being a bit hyperbolic (and I still want deluxe Bumblebee). But I also strongly dislike the partsforming on the BB and CJ molds...

    At least Cliffjumper didn't split completely in half this time.

    "Bring me the ugly one" makes sense now.

    If we’re really getting a Bumblebee subline, maybe they could squeeze in a Cybertronian saucer Bumblebee.

    Although on the other hand, it truly doesn’t seem to be much more than an extra avenue to attract the kids. Quality isn’t there and feels super unnecessary.

    At least we still have the Netflix Bumblebee. I don’t see them doing a better VW figure after that.

    I'll probably pass on this since I have the Legends Bumblebee with Headmaster Spike. But it's definitely not bad.

    Seeing multiple posts about ER CJ / Netflix BB partsforming...and fandom at large does not care one bit since they keep selling well.

    Legends has a nice deco. Since Spike's head is partially round, BB can actually hold him as a makeshift blaster.

    So does this mean we won't get a SS86 Bumblebee?

    There wasn’t going to be a SS86 Bumblebee for the foreseeable future anyway

    Looks like a very nice Bumper. Just needs correct head.

    I have a hunch they might have a pretool head for that.

    - buzzworthy for all the wrong reasons. Actually the main issue I have with it is the altmode. Would have preferred chibi VW, or saucermode. Obviously Spike is a bit of a joke, but so what.

    Is it reasonable to assume it's to scale with these guys?

    It's also not parts-forming, but that doesn't stop people from complaining anyway.

    I'm so gonna get this, just wish the car mode wasn't so blocky. Feels more like it'd fit Cliffjumper more, which stinks cuz that robot mode? *chef kiss* Maybe someone can make an add on with rounder feet that clip over these blocky shoes of his.

    This post hit me with some spontaneous insight. I remember a long while back before MP-21 was released that VW finally allowed Hasbro to use their licensed Beetle so long as they agreed to use the older 50s model and not use the bright yellow colour. To compensate, Hasbro later released MP-45. I think it's a similar thing all over again only this time, a change in scale as well (I'm assuming anyway). I don't know if they can use the same mold or license under another colour. Perhaps someone with better knowledge on the subject can confirm with the correct info on this. It's just foggy in my mind at the present moment.

    As for my opinions on this, I like the alt mode and colours. I can't really get into anything else other than the Spike figure. I am really looking forward to reviewers to get this in hand (nudges PrimevPrime).
