Shut up and take my money :ic$:

...this I like. I'm glad I didn't buy the original with Spike now. That little jetpack will look pretty slick.

If I didn't already spend 80$ on the g1 version this would be bought. I'll hold out for the possibility of goldbug/cliffjumper later down the line, probably as seperately numbered releases (though I would hope cliffjumper would be a significant retool into a squashed up porsche turbo along with a new head.)

Excellent. I prefer the toy faces for the minibots and if that jet-pack doesn't fit Sideswipe, I'll find a way.

It's not Sideswipe's jet pack.

so... anyone else wonder if he'll come with another exo suit? or just be by himself?

i think (simply based on BBTS's prices) that he'll be flying solo. their MP BB w/exo is $75, while their preorder for MP G2BB is $65 (and pictured solo anyways).

The backpack will be in place of the exo suit.

One that's a difference shade of gray/white from the rest of his body for maximum accuracy. :-B

G2 Bee didn't have a symbol on his chest, it was on the bottom of his foot.

Would have preferred an Exosuit Spike figure over the jet pack, but at least he comes with the battle mask this time.

A Bug Bite, who knows, maybe at Tokyo Toy Show or even e-Hobby like the original?

A brighter yellow with the same metallic coating could still make for a convincing Goldbug. Just give him a new head without the face gimmick and an Exo-Spike and I won't care if the vehicle mode looks a lot like the others.

I am kinda torn between having a G2 version or a proper Goldbug. Not sure which I want more.

by **Peridot** » Fri Jan 09, 2015 4:24 am

I'm still debating whether or not to get this version or the original MP-21 release... :-?

I didn't intend for anyone to necessarily care, but since people were talking about Goldbug's head color, I thought it worth a mention.

Orders are open at Big in Japan. Marked way down 25% off to 4,125jpy or about US$35 or around US$41 shipped via SAL. This is why I always import my Japanese Transformers, there's no way I'm ever paying BBTS/TFS/RK prices.

Great reveal on Big in Japan Emerje. Those are stupid low prices. They offer G2 BB $50 with 4 day shipping. No way you can beat that. Thanks for spreading the word.

i really cant put into words how excited i am about this figure.

Thanks to fellow fan, Shajaki, we were directed to Amazon's listing for the upcoming Masterpiece MP-21G Bumble G2Ver. Back in the early 90's, Hasbro released Generation 2, which was a mix of repainted G1 molds, new and original molds, as well as a semi-cgi rehash of the original G1 series. Of those repainted G1 molds, Minicar Bumblebee was among the first to see release and he came along sporting a vacuum metalized (aka chrome) deco that made him all shiny, which you can see here.

TakaraTomy is homaging that G2 release with a metallic paint deco release of the MP-21 Bumblebee mold, with new accessories including a jetpack!

You can see the order page here and we've mirrored the images below:
