Optibotimus Reviews: Transformers Studio Series Deluxe Class BUMBLEBEE

[@sundownerstudios8563]

All I know is that my popcorn bowl is ready when Blackout comes out haha

[@datboikenrick4936]

TheBagladyofCHS nah megatron is badass af and my tub of popcorn is waiting

[@sundownerstudios8563]

I want the new Megatron too, but Paul is most likely doing a super review, as we all have been wanting a leader class Blackout

[@ronaldorejalde3338]

I will be waiting for that blackout figure

[@ronaldorejalde3338]

I will be also be waiting for that megatron one too

[@perez2k144]

I'll be waiting for Megatron and prime

[@jeromeredalarde2557]

thank you for being professional paul. thats why most of the videos i watch is yours and emg0s . because you have a professional opinion. i can understand baltmatrix's rants but his review for stinger was too overshadowed by his comments on bumblebee that's why i always watch yours even though i had already watched on others

[@Litebikeman97]

I really appreciate the fact that you take the time and effort to transforms these toys back to vehicle mode. I thought I was going to break the hood part when trying to get it to fit into place. Thank you for walking us through it.

[@deadlock4_844]

Thank you for being more informative and professional than baltmatrix. All I want is a normal informative review and you have done it for me.

[@crustypaladin]

I totally agree. I think baltmatrix complains WAY too much.

[@noir6467]

Tries too hard to be like JobbyTheHong. and it doesn't work

[@optibotimus]

You noticed that trend too huh? It's why i stopped watching him

[@razorquake46]

and he hurt my feelings if you want to know watch his video you will see why i hate him so much

[@crustypaladin]

Yep

[@MsKristy79]

Optibotimus, Thank you so much for these quality reviews. I can tell just by looking at them, you put a lot of hard work and effort into your reviews, From the edits, and the video quality. I really appreciate your dedication for your fans. You have, and always will be my favorite Reviewer, Thanks for the past 10 years, looking forward to the next!

[@ralph_reviews]

Hopefully they'll come out with a "custom faded" version

[@hatmann5697]

Nice one

[@alicerieker7292]

tfwiki.net/wiki/Bumblebee_(Movie)/toys#SSClunker its in the next wave, studio series #27

[@Zavecticon]

As someone from the future, I can confirm that they did (ss27)

[@johnturturo3889]

@@Zavecticon yessir

[@primusvsunicron1]

At least you kept your cool while Baltmatrix let the frustration get to him

[@TFanPage101]

I think it'll differ between people, I noticed people had issues with TLK Bumblebee (the original) but mine seemed to be fine. Guess it depends.

[@octobotimus]

i feel like most reviewers conveniently get the bad ones and everyone else gets one thats fine.

[@foriamjustacommenter7141]

I like this review a lot. You didn't bash the figure or flail around with it like the other two videos I've seen of this toy. I actually like this new version of Bee. However I'd be happier with a voyager Bonecrusher and upscaled Dinobots.

[@outrunno4563]

Bonecrusher - The Hateful Claw of Megatron grimlock is as big as a rotf leader figure

[@foriamjustacommenter7141]

Geometry Dash Lemonade I knew Grimlock was huge. I was talking about the other Dinobots being upscaled

[@Bob_McJeff-ij9nr]

The vid was AWESOME as always, but what really shocked me was the maximum quality I could go up to. I'm not sure if this is for all your other videos but it's just absolutely jaw dropping.

[@grahammacdonald42]

I really wanted them to release a MP version of bumblebee in this Camaro style.

[@stanletters]

It looks really nice, but the figure as a whole seems weak

[@bumblebee5940]

Thank you, optibotimus, for not smashing me unlike balmatrix.

[@sasukeuchiha9436]

You know ratchet is really large deluxe and scales good with bee

[@themccman]

I thought these guys just got announced and they're for sale already!? Dang hasbro you fast

[@thelonewolf2929]

For a limited time.... order them now!

[@transgeek2345]

themccman They're on Hasbro Toy Shop

[@arkforge]

they hit actual store shelves in April

[@bobsworldofentertainment3177]

EFSFGaming cool man I appreciate the news I was wondering if they were gonna be available in stores i haven't bought a new transformer since age of extinction

[@buniboi2163]

They're not limited, stupid.

[@Pokey_Puni_]

I appreciate the professional review of the new studio series bumblebee, even after watching Baltmarix's review, which I personally thought was pretty entertaining, but still lacked a few details. Even though I may not be a consistent viewer or fan, I again appreciate the review and your substantial opinion.

[@HeartbeatsBloodstream]

I agree, most controversy stems from carelessness and misguided order of operations. Berserker fell to the same thing, he's not hard, people just try to tab everything in at once instead of in order.

[@katsuro9008]

I love how much patience optibotimus has when transforming thr new Bee while baltmatrix is rushing it and seems a lot more impatient with the Bumblebee. I also love the tip optibotimus gave when transforming

[@smb-c3po]

Paul, this is actually one of the figures I ordered on Black Friday and can open everything in 15 days during the holidays.

[@hatmann5697]

A lot of people are complaining about the size, but I must say: the Autobots were smaller than their rival Decepticons in the movie, so Hasbro had a choice: either make normal sized Autobots with scaled up Deceptions, or make normal sized Decepticons with slightly smaller Autobots. Naturally being a company, Hasbro went with the latter because it is more cost effective. There are a few exceptions such as megs being larger voyager class, blackout being a smaller leader class and Ratchet being normal sized. The reason for these exceptions is that the scale was like that in the movie, and considering this line is all about accuracy and scale, they went with it.

[@Blue_JayC]

I respect this review, (as far as I know) you didn't throw it against the wall in anger 👍

[@IamGalvatron]

Hey Paul another great review as always. My opinion is Hasbro isn’t aiming at scaling the vehicles but instead the robots. I’ve seen pics of the new Lockdown and the car is massive compared to other deluxe scaled cars. I’m pretty hyped for the Studio Series and finally being able to get definitive figures of the film characters.

[@tony2763]

I just bought Bumblebee to see if it was as difficult to transform, after I watched the Baltmatrix "review". Thank you for a great video.

[@grossboss3218]

Yeah you are by far one of my favourite reviewers along with Shartimus, Emgo, and Sean Long. You are also my first reviewer I ever watched P.S so happy we got a new classic camaro bee

[@Paxtin]

I get the feeling we're going to see a few up scaled KOs of this line. And as for the intended scaling, I get the feeling it's only in reference to the figures in this line specifically.

[@dantherandomgamer5743]

Do stinger next

[@optibotimus]

Okay!

[@dannycorpuz5615]

Dan the Random Gamer just got stinger today

[@ragemalachi]

The scale they are talking about is in reference to each other. So the figures in the new line will scale with eachother better then past lines. But they dont really scale with older lines

[@cdr2691]

I am interested in having this version of Bumblebee in my collection, especially since I love this body style Camaro and I enjoy the Last Knight version of Bee. I hope to get my hands on this and Stinger as well.

[@cio6335]

They made a deluxe starscream Into a Voyager, I guess that made sense

[@HeartbeatsBloodstream]

Also wow, an actual review of this figure. On the internet. Thanks dude.

[@baldytalkinnerdy3462]

I think they were meant to scale better with EACH OTHER. If you look at Ratchet, he's a bit taller than Bumblebee, despite being the same size class. His alt mode is also better in-scale with him. Same with Stinger.

[@soniccooldude54]

i noticed that everyones complaining about the scale but honestly, hasnt bumblebee in movie canon always been this small?? hes awlays been considered the pup of the autobot litter, where as most movie bumbles ive honestly considered being alittle bit too tall compared to their wave mates. what i think is, when they say they fixed some of the scaling, that they fixed it so that the figures truly scale their absolute best with other figures in their same line. and honestly, given how lazy hasbro has been with figures for since like 3 years?? i think i'll give hasbro credit with this line, for actually pulling out the stops, going as far as joining up with takara, and overall actually trying while making things more screen accurate. :3 besides, this is only the pre-order version- obviously they intend on focusing on quality control up to the april release date

[@jordanharrington1890]

My thoughts exactly 🙌🏾

[@brianyzq7776]

lets not forget how tiny he was in g1 too

[@Delfromteamrad]

Who would've thought that a deluxe class figure review would be the length of around the same price of a voyager!

[@Brain_Sync]

I love this incarnation of Bumblebee, but the one I got has some issue (apart from the roof that pops off very easily), it wasn't transforming correctly, so I thought something was wrong. Turns out a component was mounted in reverse! I flipped it around and now it works alright. Also I don't understand certain design choices, like part of the interior left empty, while the shins stick out quite a bit from underneath the car; or the tiny wings hanging from the doors (like MPM-3), that could easily be attached to the roof instead. All in all not too bad, but definitely not the best engineering design :/ I hope they're gonna make a masterpiece of the '76 Camaro in the future.

[@matthewmatics6]

For the scale... it’s meant to scale with other studio series figures. (Kinda). There’s a photo with all these studio series figures and yeah the scale is meant for the whole series.

[@br0kenp1xels]

May think the scale thing is an excuse to make toys smaller, but you also have to look at the rest of the line. Lockdown looks to be fairly large, and scales really well in alt mode with Bee. Lockdown was also almost the height of Optimus Prime, so it does make sense. All I'm wondering now is if we'll get a voyager Sentinel Prime the same size as the new voyager Starscream so he's taller than Optimus.

[@NextLevelCollecting]

Hmmmm. As a loose figure...idk. I’d rather stick with my original movie 1 figs. But that first take you did with the toy in the box was very appealing. This series may be the first (and probably only) set I collect and leave in box. Great review, Paul! Appreciate the link too...I thought I missed out on these dudes or something

[@nostalgicotaku2977]

Im so glad you reviewed this, the only other person that did was balt and he had a bit of a breakdown, but i really want this bee thanks for your usual great review ^-^

[@globalchaos5154]

What are your thoughts on the rest of the figures? Which are your favorites?

[@bignate6568]

I got lucky with my figure. The roof is not loose so I apologize for everyone with a faulty roof design. However to get the grill out for the transformation makes me wanna die as its really stuck in there

[@AronJamieson]

I've been wanting a new figure of the old Camaro for quite some time, this is great! You sound ill man, I hope you get well soon. Keep up the great work!

[@dillonworkman931]

I KNEW HE WOULD REVIEW IT BALT HAD A RAGE ON THIS FIGURE

[@Ravioli-75]

Dillon Workman yeah that review was trash

[@slimebuck]

your comment is trash, that review was help ful, showed me to stay away from that garbage toy, plus it was entertaining. Stop being so serious

[@dillonworkman931]

I know but I'm still buying it

[@Ravioli-75]

Mr. Regardless because who destroys a transformers with a hammer beacause it's bad???

[@beer-usplease4991]

Pedro 657 Well,optibotimus did more than use a hammer to destroy legends starscream

[@austinhinton3944]

Given what I have seen of the other figures in this line, Bumblebee is smaller so that he is better scaled to Jazz (small) and Ratchet (a rather large deluxe). I don't mind the downsizing if it means we get more accurate figures, especially if the original trilogy characters, I really wanna see a voyager Bonecrusher.

[@some_shiba7083]

Finally a bumblebee transformation not screwed up

[@c.a.k.comedy692]

“If you look at the crotch piece, they’re the same, but this one is a little smaller” You just had to compare those didn’t you

[@zacimusprime4865]

Okay I definitely need this studio series bumblebee!!!

[@jignat]

Good review as always. I hope some POTP Wave 2 videos are coming soon. Hope you feel better!

[@optibotimus]

I have the voyager figures already, those will probably come before Ratchet and Crowbar from this line as those figures aren't TOO different. I still gotta get the deluxe ones though

[@diablospecter2463]

wow you really took your time transforming it.When I saw this video I thought you would be mad about this toy but you aren't .

[@jimbotron1655]

I can’t wait until he does blackout, brawl, and especially ironhide they look AMAZING

[@michaelajustin3443]

I agree. I don't like how they made the new ones smaller.

[@timprimetal5380]

4:38 That scale comment is in reference to the fact that these figures scale better with each other lol. So Jazz is gonna be smaller than Bumblebee and Ratchet will be larger, despite them all being deluxe.

[@arkforge]

Oh optibotimus i praise you, you had his car hood tabbed in properly. So many people dont do that and it annoys the hell out of me.

[@superpixelwarrior6893]

Optibotimus, in your opinion, what is the best deluxe class bumblebee mold we've gotten in the movie lines?

[@deadlock4_844]

Super pixel warrior 99 I would say battle blades bumblebee or the wave three tlk bee that this figure is based on.

[@lonewanderer_9312]

Lol exleast you didn't take a hammer to it like balmatrix did

[@optibotimus]

He seriously did that? 🙄

[@danielespinosa2051]

optibotimus yes he did he went straight up pissed off on bumblebee

[@optibotimus]

🙄

[@hanneskarp2916]

but also His version was exceptionally bad, loose joints etc.

[@smar7931]

optibotimus Lel remember when you boiled, melted, and crushed that starscream? (That was funny tho, unlike Balt Matrix complaining his butt off).

[@thesalamander5401]

Love your reviews, they help remind me to try to get new tf figures keep it up

[@jedipoodoo]

I just wish this one wasn't so small. I get that they've adjusted the sizes of their figures over the years compared to the original Bay movie figures, but damn. Was hoping it would be better.

[@stephenevangelista4371]

I watch all the ads so Optibotimus gets more money

[@blackbeetle6992]

Stephen Evangelista LOL

[@nachoparadise9262]

What Barricade figure would you recommend for this boi? A barricade that scales well and everything

[@octobotimus]

its not an excuse to get away with smaller toys, proof of that is starscream being nearly leader size and grimlock being around the size of an rotf leader, so i'd say they are god on size.

[@baldytalkinnerdy3462]

Thank you... THANK YOU... for not having a swear-laden meltdown like Baltmatrix did. Honestly, that and his thoroughly unprofessional Masterpiece Barricade video led me to unsub from his channel. I've always enjoyed your videos - especially in crispy 60fps.

[@SpecGen]

Joshua Lynn Swear laden? Quite the exaggeration...

[@keilafleischbein59]

I want a wei jiang upsized classic bee now. They alwaya have a clever trick up their sleeve for improving good molds.

[@jordanharrington1890]

Is anyone else living vicariously through Optibotimus?

[@wferg9776]

Will the figures be sold in stores?

[@garyconstanza3120]

Yes

[@bweebleberryJam]

I can understand it getting smaller. I have been collecting bayverse transformers since the first movie and i think some time around the 3rd one, the toys all got smaller (around the time they gave us the mech-tech weapons). So this new bumblebee is probably closer to the scale of the cars when they shrunk down. Perhaps. I would be curious to see how this guy scales with some of the more recent bayverse figures. Ive limited this hobby to only buying model grade figures so Ill never know.

[@art-n-filmsam3844]

The problem is with this, is that this is the only 76 Camaro Bumblebee figure with new engineering, which drives me nuts. I want a Movie Masterpiece 76 Camaro Bumblebee Hasbro/ Takara !

[@JCGold98]

Another great review from the ultimate Transformers reviewer!

[@robdavidwilson4183]

Sorry this is a late reply but is he not kind of the same figure as the last knight bumblebee figure. If that makes sence sorry my English is a bit crap sorry.

[@Magikknight76]

Great review Paul!!! He looks like a cool figure...

[@jcfv83]

No, the scale will work better with other deluxe figures from this line, like deluxe Ratchet. They will look in the proper scale. As well with leader figures like Blackout. By the way this is a real review! Yours are the best

[@defenderprime8046]

Hmm, I'm not sure about the smaller size Deluxe class figures, it makes it harder to transform because of the size, looks good, but I think I would pass on this one, looking forward to see Stinger, like many people I think. Cool review.

[@MrBrandonStar]

Looking like the classic bumblebee from 2007

[@MrBrandonStar]

snokoan2 why

[@Blue_JayC]

Lol

[@aether1230]

You know that the feet actually have two pegs and most people don’t realize that and that is why the figures feet are loose

[@Brandon-McFadden.]

This figure looks ok to me, i like the 76 camaro and couldn't find the TLK version, so I'll get this. I can't wait to see the beetle version.

[@sasukeuchiha9436]

Dudeman awesome I feel like 10 years

[@ArionRDAW]

Over in the Asian markets there are a lot of complaints about the QC on this figure. The Chinese social media is frothing about the "made in Vietnam" (an irony that the rest of the world can appreciate).

[@Sportimus]

I like it, but I truly hope we get an MPM version of this 1977 Bumblebee. :)

[@TheRealDustinNunn]

KZbinr Baltmatrix reviewed this figure. He hated it and smashed it with a hammer. I recommend MPM-3 Bumblebee. He is way better.

[@vinc87787]

30k views, Go Optibotimus!!

[@steelman296]

I think they mean this Studio Series scale better with other Studio Series and not with other lines.

[@maXVolnutt]

Rapid prototyping. They probably had 3D models that could be printed at a smaller scale. That would be my guess, anyway.

[@cdogcdog4814]

Awesome you got the figures early. Did you get them from Hasbro? Or some other source? And when they are talking about made to scale better they are talking about the studio series itself alone scaling with each other. If you notice Starscream is taller then Optimus Prime, Blackout is next, with Grimlock being tallest.

[@optibotimus]

I got them from Hasbro. As i mentioned in the video, they were sold exclusively through Hasbro Toy Shop while supplies lasted. I think they are talking about the scale being more uniformed across this series. We'll see once we get more of them in hand

[@jimbotron1655]

This looks pretty cool

[@saschahorvat2683]

Funny, it was yesterday when I thought: why there is no new version of the 70 camaro Bumblebee.

[@Ravioli-75]

Nice review and I'm veeery excited for this line keep up the good work ;)

[@tylerclark1801]

You just mad a 4 year old very happy on his birthday

[@OurayMountainModels]

He's smaller because he's smaller than Ratchet. When they talk about them scaling better it's because not all the deluxes will be the same size. Ratchet will still be a deluxe but Bee will only come up to Ratchet's shoulder.

[@jaraxel888]

I think the "better scaling" is within this line? that'd probably make more sense than between toy lines?

[@theterriblelizard3013]

These things came out faster than I thought

[@Delfromteamrad]

at least Paul didn't use a hammer on this guy, like baltmatrix, or try to burn him, like with the legends animated starscream(idk what toy line it actually came from, i just know that's what the toy was meant to be)

[@thepikachu176]

I'm so hyped for Blackout, he was my first movie figure :)

[@mattigi]

They keep making them smaller and more expensive, it's only a matter of time until they are making deluxes the size of legends at leader prices.

[@randytda4463]

Yes !!!!! Thanks optibotimus. You like a reminder to me😊. I can't wait to get him now !!!!!!!

[@alejandronoceti8984]

At laaast!!! A new version of the '77 camaro Bee!!

[@gdragon4829]

hasbros quality is so bad now >:(( edit: i bought a studio series bumblebee and the roof fell off right out the packaging and the joints were too loose :( i really like his mold

[@duyle7248]

I think they shrunk him so that they don’t have to rescale ratchet, so ratchet is still the same size with dotm deluxe

[@najam_042]

They reduce the size be in scale with the other figures they're releasing

[@jazztheautobot7257]

Did You Know That They Go In Stores In April?!?!?

[@SuperdreadnoughtLiebe]

You sick Paul? If so, I hope you feel better soon.

[@syawedisideways8538]

The z28 I think that's what it is was actually kind of a small car compared to its other Camaro counterparts

[@steelman296]

For deluxes, I think nothing has ever came up to Battle Blades BB from Hunt for the Decpeticons from way back when. I'm still hesitant on the MP counterparts.

[@muisverriet]

Steelman2906 The Battle Blades Bee is extremely overrated IMO. The DOTM Deluxe is better.
