I can't wait to get this guy, 22-23 years later I still have my original G2 and am looking forward to putting them next to each other.

A Red Bumblebee would be a G2 Hubcap, wouldn't it?
Heck, they could keep the G2 tooling all the way there.

Not quite, as Hubcap has a different head and uses the Cliffjumper mold (which, for the record, is not a retool of Bumblebee):
A red MP Bumble would simply be "Bumble Red Version"

Release a retool of Bumblebee as an Audi TT. It looks reasonably close to an SD Porsche and it shares a chasis with the VW bug. It's certainly a better compromise than you'd get by making him a realistic Porsche.
It also comes in a model with a spoiler.
And we have had non-G1 MP releases, right?
The MPMs and soon to be Primal.
So you do a Masterpiece Cliffjumper as an Audi TT.
And you call it Masterpiece Binaltech Cliff. You cheat as close as you can to G1 in robot mode. Masterpiece engineering. But use the Audi TT as the vehicle.

Which pics had a G2 logo on his foot?Thormind wrote:On some pictures there is a G2 logo on his chest and on one foot. Is it going to be like G2 Sideswipe where the logos are stickers and you can chose if you want the G1 or the G2 logo. I really prefer this golden version of him but I don't want any G2 logo in my collection...

I'm just like you. I think hell fit better in my collection than the first release. Plus i really hated that exo-suit. Most collector i talked to said they bought him but don't display the suit and would have preferred if it had not been included.
The jetpack is a much better accessory imo.

This is my first order with them, so here goes the test to see how it all works.
SAL registered shipping came too 990 yen for a total price of $40.37 USD.
Now we wait.
