As much as I like that Spike in exosuit, damn that Bee alt mode is just ugly.

It's got the WFCT logo and Kingdom packaging color scheme... but no Kingdom logo. Weird.

The scrunched up look of the muscle car altmode gives it a striking resemblance to Bumper's altmode.

Seeing Spike in there makes me feel this was intended for the 86 Studio Series then it got shifted to War for Cybertron.

Doubtful as the bee alt mode is way too different to swing for the movie version, plus it doesn't look a great deal for a ss deluxe price point
No, i think this was always intended for this side of Generations, the same with Earth Mode Magnus and Galvatron et al. The movie's Anniversary is getting spread across two lines (while beast wars only gets 1).
Still, wasn't someone else wanting more characters in the core class size *assuming that it is of course*

Kinda hope that isn't the rumoured Daniel figure with Slug in SS86. I'm not exactly rushing to get a new Bee (I've amassed a glut of them just by accident) and it looks like they started with TR Bee when engineering this one (and I hate TR Bee).
What a strange reveal though, I don't think this was even rumoured. It doesn't fall into any toyline neatly and seems a bit like a SS86 release that got shifted after they realised it's the only one of its kind.

Probably not, SS starts at the Deluxe size class. The only viable way to design something that small for SS would be to put it together with another figure. But more that that, Bee really wasn't a major player at all in TFTM, so making a SS86 figure for him doesn't make much sense and this one is horribly inaccurate to the on screen appearance which is SS whole thing.
More likely this is something they wanted to do for the new core class but didn't have a great fit for it anywhere.

Exactly, also regarding Daniel with Slag, I do find it weird that spikes face here is completely silver, but at thecsame time, ill be surprised is the Daniel figure is a re-release of this Spike. Though I suppose we will see when pictures if Slag are made available.

I want that Spike figure. Maybe two if the figure with Slag is just a figurine like Wheelie is with Grimmie.
Oh, he comes with a Bumblebee accessory. It's okay, but it would have been better as a faux bug like the Classics version.

This does not look even remotely like the rest of the Studio Series figures. Just because they're movie characters doesn't mean they have any relationship to that line.
I think the TR Arcee Daniel headmaster is a better stand-in for the exosuit, even though it doesn't transform to a car. This appears to have even less articulation than that.
Did the SS rumors specify if that Daniel is in an exosuit or transformable? After the Wheelie reveal, I'm anticipating something with a better deco but fewer play features.

Meh, the Netflix Bumblebee is definitely better looking, and even if I didn’t already have him I’d’ve stuck with Titans Return Bee. This one doesn’t look good at all. Would really only want Spike and even then it’s a hard maybe. Though I wonder if they’ll do similar standalone sets.

Why does it's packaging look like a mix of Kingdom and Bumblebee movie stuff with the Cyberverse/Evergreen head design? That's such a weird combination.
Well, people were asking and speculating about Bee's presence on the Kingdom poster, so I guess here he is. Definitely not for me though.

Yeah, I didn't feel like actually recalling the line. I've got brain fog today.
Also, I guess I didn't 100% mean it. I kind of want the Spike, but knowing Daniel is in the offing it's going to come down to a choice as to what would get displayed. I imagine it won't be too long before we start seeing Slag stolen toy reviews, so we'll just have to see.

Except your logic for why this isn't tracks perfectly for why it could be. This looks like the same size Bee as Titans Retirn, that means this is a $10 figure that includes an additional blaster and a crude but Transformable Exosuit that I am bettong is roughly the same size as a Human Alliance Figure. That puts it close enough in the budget range for a $20 pricepoint which is exactly the Deluxe class Cost Studio Series would be wanting.
Disclaimer: I don't think this is either because the Bee asthetic is all wrong and the packaging does not match. I am betting Target Exclusive. Maybe the game store guys

That's not Bumblebee.
That's Bumblejumper.
Give me a Cliffjumper repaint with a new head and you get my money. But unless in deep discount live at a brick and mortar store, this is going to be a hard pass for me.

So we have some kingdom box art with Bumblebee movie packaging, a picture of the evergreen version on the front, and a G1-inspired figure.
Definitely some strange packaging xD
Anyway, this is kinda neat. I might pick it up.

Here is a quick size comparison to Core Optimus using the 3mm hand ports as a size reference. He's a little big, but probably as close as we can expect to relative scale at this small a size.

I think the figure is miss-transformed in the promo pic, again. There are panels that I think fold all the way back and I hope there's more to the arms. What really bugs me (get it?) is the handle of the blaster looks bent in the packaging so Bee looks funny holding it.

After seeing this weird Bee and the leaks, I dont think there will be a Goldbug figure soon. Basically the last few years I have updated, or gotten for the first time, my ideal head canon G1 season 4/Headmaster + line-up. Along with my older Classics, 4 or 5 3rd party and such figures. I only have a few left, after Kingdom and SS86, that I need. One of the big ones is Goldbug(also a good Alpha Trion) and I thought this new Netflix Bee would be perfect for a Selects Goldbug repaint(and new head). I still have a small bit of hope they will, at least a 3rd party or Shapeways Goldbug head for Netflix Bee maybe.

Yeah, of all the strange things about this release that Authentics Bee head shot on the front is the strangest. That makes me think this is intended to be sold at discount stores like Big Lots and Dollar General since it takes from so many different lines and probably wont be sold at any standard price point.
As far as how this figure came about, it was probably intended to be part of Kingdom, but just like the SS86 line it probably got bumped from Kingdom to give us Rattrap and Vertebreak in wave 1.
It's not a great figure and the design is probably the way it is for the same reason that Deluxe Bumblebee wasn't ready in time for Kingdom, VW took too long to approve it. This was probably going to be their fallback figure to get a Bumblebee into the series, but in the end neither made it in.
However, it's still a WfC figure which means I need to track one down to complete it. Hope he isn't hard to get and exclusive to third world countries or something. Man, if this is a Universal theme park exclusive I'm going to be very angry.

I dunno, I'm a pretty big guy, and already pretty agitated over my internet being out and having to type this out on a little phone...

That might take some time since pretty much everything I planned to do tonight requires the internet and it isn't estimated to come back until 4:30AM.

Doesn't really look like it fits in with the WTC trilogy at all to be honest, and the picture of spike on the box looks more like Daniel to me.

The reaction alpha trions pretty good for what it is, if a bit small maybe they could do a Red version.
As for where this bee fits into the lines maybe siege was meant to have legends sized figures after all and this was cybertronian bee :p and they thought na, we pushed our luck fooling them with the rest of the cybertronian modes.
Would have been cool for slammer to be this size or core class freeing up a slot in the deluxes for Tarantulus or terorsaur.

Earlier in the summer, my family was under quarantine because of a potential COVID close contact (thankfully, it was a false alarm). Some construction guys took out our WiFi and the earliest Suddenlink could fix it was a week later. Lo and behold, after a week passed and no fix happened, we called and found out they didn’t even put us on their schedule. Very irritating.Emerje wrote:Sabrblade wrote:...until you can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within you.Emerje wrote:william-james88 wrote:Emerje wrote:Man, if this is a Universal theme park exclusive I'm going to be very angry.

A lonely time can best be spent as we all come together and find out what led to this toy's existence and think of ways to repurpose it.
