As as the show (and toy altmode) accurate Bumblebee is a Takara initiated figure, it will be sold in the U.S., but with a black slipcover, that being the only change to it before it's imported to the U.S. for sale.
As these next two photos show, Bumblebee will come with a gun, a blast effect for the gun, another creepily-faceless Spike Witwicky figure, and interestingly, a sticker sheet. These stickers seem to give the option of covering the symbol on his license plate with a red heart, so as to not technically infringe on the "I (Heart) NY trademark. He also comes with stickers representing the I've cream splotches from the "Child's Play" episode of the G1 cartoon, rust patches from the "Cosmic Rust" episode and Morphobot spores from "Quest For Survival".
Next, we've got a great shot of the '84 main cast, many of them in their MP+ decos- a great way to see exactly how MP-45 scales with the other toys he's likely to be displayed with.
Then we have some nice poses showing off his poseability and cartoon accurate robot mode.
MP-45 was originally scheduled to be released in Japan this Saturday, September 28th, but Takara Tomy Mall's own website shows that he's been delayed to November 23rd. Do you already have your preorder in? Do any of these pictures sway you towards picking this figure up? Any speculation as to the delay of this figure? Feel free to discuss below!

For novelty's sake.
But not a cent more. And based on the previous MP Bee, it's a high possibility.

That's "battle damage". It make the toy cooler.

I think it's a stolen copy and not the final product. Maybe it makes a difference quality wise.

Takara's been doing that for a while. Ratchet did it too for the shoulders.

Man, as if there wasn't enough things to mock about this thing.

Also, I believe the release got moved up a hair as well.

Looks like someone is trying to copy Tidus's laugh from FFX

WOAH THERE!
It's something to be a bit inappropriate. But that was downright vulgar.

Man. That center image of him looks like he's thinking, "Why was I made?"

All three pics and links are broken since that site doesn't permit hotlinking.

The small chest looks comical next to all the "real" parts on the back.
It didn't even have to be so small. I don't think MP-21's torso is too big.
I do like the head sculpt in some photos, like in the first one from this batch. Would like to see someone else take a shot at an MP Bee with a chibi alt-mode.
Oh well.

The best thing I did all year was not ordering it in the first place.

I handled it at TFcon, even at half, I don't think it would be much fun

There is no saving the back end of those feet, but I've made peace with the rest.

The backpack looks ok but his odd window heels are gigantic from the side and rear and the split section yellow plastic on his front windshield is also bad design.

I'd love to see a chibi-beetle with transformation like MP-21 (using the real parts) and the MP-45 head-sculpt.
