Honestly, I'm not even going to put the mirrors on mine. They seem to hurt the botmode and Wheeljack came with 2 sets like they were expecting them to get snagged and break off. I'm not bother to put them on any of them and wish I had that option for the earlier cars.

Its the Cubex one, forget his name, made by the company which took a lot of flack regarding its QC issues, who subsequently changed their name and turned their back on it!

I think there's a two-fold reason they used Stinger...

1. He's a redesign of Bumblebee's original look, hence the 'bee (the insect) look.
2. The buzzing noise the engine makes when he's moving in vehicle mode.

3. He's the master of the Scorpion Death Lock

Masterpiece MP-21 Bumblebee English Language Video Review

Postby Autobot032 » Tue Nov 18, 2014 3:22 am

Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
Fellow fan and Seibertron board member Transformermegazord (AKA Bens Collectibles) has posted the first English language video review of the upcoming Masterpiece Bumblebee. It should be noted that this is a test shot and not the final product, but it's close, so the video will give us a good, solid idea of what to expect when the figure sees release towards the of this month. Also of note, he does not have Spike on hand, just Bumblebee.

The car mode looks nice, but it's still odd to see an alt mode that doesn't look like the G1 toy or the G1 cartoon, in the masterpiece line.

I kind of think it's the best of both worlds. A G1 accurate robot mode and an alt mode accurate to the vehicles they were based on. Yeah it doesn't look like the cartoon depictions, but I always figured the cartoon fudged them for licensing issues. This makes them more real. Also full disclosure I'm a bit of a car fan so there's that too.
Wheeljack is the closest I'll ever be to owning a Lancia Stratos (my dream car) so this is pretty awesome.

Why would you assume it's fragile just because of the size? If anything, larger figures are more prone to breakage. In my experience, smaller figures are more durable.

Still not feeling this figure, somthing about it feels a little off. I dont really like the forearms, the gaps and the panels on the arms hurt the overall look, and I dont like how visible the arms are in alt mode.

Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
You're probably thinking "Another Masterpiece Bumblebee review?!" and it does seem like he's taking the review/headline world by storm right now, but this time we get to see Spike in his Exo-Suit, plus the figure in question here seems to be the finished product, and it's in English from the get go.

So, now that the whole package is available for review, will you be buying? Check out the embed below, courtesy of RocketPunchArmy and find out! When you're done, post your thoughts on the board and let us know what you think!
