Not Bay movies. And yes, I meant WFC Bumblebee. I'm very sorry for being so bad at conveying my thoughts and questions regarding Transformers. I've always been a Star Wars collector (which I still am) so I'm struggling to get familiar with all the characters, lingo, and lines of figures. Thanks for willing to help me out.
Her is a more organized list of figures I would please like recommendations for Earth based Vehicle modes:
-Bumblebee
-Cliffjumpee
-Jazz
-Staracream
-Skywarp
-Thundercracker
-Soundswave
Ah, there you go. You seem new to the TF fandom so allow me to give you some recomendation.
First, what scale do you want to collect? Small ones like scouts and legends? The normal ones being deluxes and slightly bigger, the voyagers? Or the big-ass ones, the leaders and masterpeices?
For the seekers, meaning starscream, Skywarp, and Thundercracker, here are the best ones:
Deluxes: Go with the good old seeker mold. It's a very fun mold, very G1 accurate. Unfortunately, they all come from older lines, meaning they can be pretty expensive each. You get Generations TC, Universe SW, and Classic SC.
There is a set that counteain all 3. It's a expensive Takara set.
As for the leader size, meaning 60$ a figure, there is the new Combiner Wars Leader Thundercracker you can get in store right now. Starscream and Skywarp are coming pretty soon.
If you a rich and want perfection, you can go the MASTERPEICE route. Either the original MP-03 molds or the newer MP-11 remolds. No matter what you chose, each seekers can cost between 100 and 400$, depending on which one you want.
Left, MP-11: Perfect bot, Imperfect jet.
Right, MP-03: Imperfect bot, but perfect jet.
For Jazz, it's either the Generations deluxe:
Or the bigger, but less accurate Alternator. Alternators have the most realistic car modes by the way. With detailed interios, rubber tires, doors that open, and a hood that show the engine.
Soundwave, you only have ONE option. the Masterpiece. The Hasbro box come with ALL the cassettes so you want that one. However, it's expensive as hell.
Finally, Bee and Cliffjumper. You have 2 choices of deluxes for the best ones. Classic and Prime 1st Edition.
Classic:
Cliffjumper is the exact same thing, but in red.
Prime is a bit different. Bee is a mix between movieverse design and animated.
Cliffy is his own thing that transform in a kick-ass muscle car.
Finally, the most perfect G1 Bee is the Masterpeice. Takara only, is deluxe size, and is about 80$ A cliffjumper is very likely to come out.
Hope that helped!
And you dont have to wait 20-30 years to have the perfect rendition of the character model you like from the game (unlike people who watched the G1 show back in 84) but you can have them now, and you did. I look at it that way.
