I absolutely love this Bumblebee. Great transformation, the first time I put him in car mode I instantly got nostalgia...he looks just like his cartoon car mode! Toyhax sells some nice labels for him, complete with blue windows

[@dialNforNinja]

I feel like they could have afforded an official VW license getting full DX price for this guy, but then they'd have had to keep paying it for any repaints, and with the non-licensed penny racer car there's less to change to turn it into a decent Cliffjumper - basically just head and feet. I have to say I like the black windows so much more than light blue, though. I've been meaning to take some metallic midnight blue to the five-pack Wheeljack and Trailbreaker I bought off ebay, and I think that'll be even better given how the toyhax sticker sets end up when they use dark metallic blue, but black is just as good as long as the rest of the vehicle mode isn't too dark to contrast well.

[@TheRavenArchon]

First Bee since classics that I haven’t had major issues with. Issues so big I didn’t display any of the previous versions. No parts forming, no bits that don’t clip in tightly, no awkward proportions, looks amazing in both modes.

8:36 Regarding the claim that this figure is gonna still be on shelves, that was entirely wrong. Just about every store that I've visited that sells Transformers products/figures has run out of the Bumblebee figure. Check Gamestop, Walmart, Target, and many others and they have had the figure sold out or unavailable in-store. Luckily before work I ended up checking my local target and they finally had not 2, not 3, but 1 sole copy of the figure. I got so lucky getting the figure as I was thinking of not stopping by but I'm glad I did cuz the figure was worth picking up.

I kind of like how this Bumblebee pairs with the _Legacy_ Goldbug, especially knowing how much more different they are mechanically. Plus, it’s sort of a Porygon to Porygon2 situation where the upgrade/evolution rounds out the hard edges. Even still, there’s enough rounded shape language on the former to imply Bee’s friendliness, so it wouldn’t be as jarring an upgrade between the two if I used the Worlds Collide Bee. Incidentally, using this ‘Bee and not the WC one means Hubcap stands out a little more.

So, I have Netflix BB and I like him more in general in terms of a realistic Beetle mode. Transformation and roobot though, I find the SS86 and Netflix BB's to be a draw. Yeah Netflix has to parts form the rear end, but that never REALLY bothered me. I'm not as big into the Pennyracer look of the new BB. I kinda wish they had made a more stubby BB where the fenders were all the same size and he was just a chunky round, Beetle-esque vehicle rather than a scrunched up SD Beetle. I'm also not a huge fan of all the straight lines they put on the curved sections of the hood and headlights like it was old video game graphics where circles needed to be made with a bunch of straight lines. I get they were trying to avoid a VW lawsuit and never having a licensed VW BB again, but I have to think that maybe they went a little too hard. Another thing I like better on the Netflix BB is that much like Goldbug, he's fully painted in vehicle mode, meaning that the color matching is somewhat better across the yellows. It just feels more premium. I'll get SS 86, and maybe Hasbro will do the eventual Cliffjumper, maybe Hubcap again, and maybe we'll et Bumper and Glyph someday before Hasbro decides to start the Minibots all over again...again. 9_9

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

He's pretty neat, but I've expected a little better. I'm leaning more towards picking him up than not, but he won't put an end to my quest of finding the ultimate G1 style VW Bee. I do like the Penny Racer vines of his car mode, but it also comes furstratingly close to how it looked in the show without sticking the landing. The way the beetle mode insignia disappears into his foot in robot mode is really cool, though.

[@izzik2781]

He wasn't a VW in G1. Watch Transport to Oblivion, and it's very clear this new figures car mode is perfect to a lot of G1

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

@@izzik2781 I mean, he was a Volkswagen Beetle, he was just based in his Penny Racer toy. He didn't turn into a realistic Volkswagen, but saying he didn't turn into one is a stretch imo. Cliffjumper also still turned into a Porsche 924 Turbo, even if his vehicle mode was understandable "Penny Racerified". The Sunbow toon never was the most consistent thing in the world as far as scale or character proportions go, and while there might be 1 or 2 episoes where Bee's car mode looks similar to this for a second or two, I maintain that for the vast majority of his screen time Bumblebee was a lot more round and bulbous in car mode.

[@izzik2781]

@@RosencrantzxGuildenstern except he wasn't a Volkswagen. He was an inconsistent, poorly drawn animation model of a toy, of a toy, of a toy, of the vague approximation of a Volkswagen. We're multiple steps removed at this point. And since it was so inconsistent in G1, one particular look isn't more accurate than the rest, since it changes in every scene. So choosing to base it off a scene where you have one of the longest unbroken scenes of just the car from a consistent angle, is the best choice they could have made

[@RosencrantzxGuildenstern]

@@izzik2781 A badly drawn horse is still a horse; a stylized or inconsistently drawn Volkswagen is still a Volkswagen. The Sunbow show might've been inconsistent at times, but it wasn't to the point where you couldn't tell vehicles apart or recognize them for what they'd supposedly be in real life. Ask TF fans what G1 Bumblebee turns into, and the vast majority will either say VW Beetle or look at you funny for asking something so obvious. Maybe there'd be a handful smart alecs going "Well, technically it's a tiny yellow carlike object that may or may not be a Beetle", but that's about it. Hell, were you to grab some random guys who are vaguely familiar with cars, show them various footage of G1 Bee in his alt mode and ask them what sort of car it is, I guarantee you the majority could identify it as a Volkswagen Beetle. As I've already said: yes, there might be 1-2 episodes where Bee's car mode looks close to that, I'd be willing to bet in the vast majority of episodes it looks way more rounded and obviously a stylized Beetle. When you're making supposedly de facto figures of animated characters, you look at model sheets, not some in-between frames or obviously scuffed footage.

[@izzik2781]

@@RosencrantzxGuildenstern this isn't based on inbetween frames or scuffed footage. Its a continuous take, of a clear and consistent model. Makes perfect sense why they chose some of the most clear shots to base the figure on. If the model looks different in literally every scene, it makes sense to pick scenes that have long continuous shots, of a clear and consistent drawing. Which is what they did. And most people would be wrong then. Since she literally isn't a Volkswagen, and that's not what he's based off.
