New Gallery: Masterpiece MP-21G Bumble G-2 Ver (aka G2 Bumblebee)

Posted by Mindmaster Aug 3, 2015 at 11:41am CDT 38,537 views
Suddenly, a new gallery update appears! Today's Masterpiece subject hails from the first series after Generation One, Generation 2: Bumblebee! While not as shiny and blinded out as his precursor was, this figure fits right in for the G2 enthusiast along with Masterpiece G2 Sideswipe. In place of a Witwicky in an Exosuit, he instead comes with a jet pack accessory. If you're still in the fence on this guy, why not take the opportunity to take a look through our gallery?

Looks great. It'd be cool if HLJ would ship mine.

I had two packages from them ... one shipped out by Monday last week. The other shipped out yesterday. Hopefully this is just a little blip. I liked it a lot better when something would arrive at HLJ Thursday, ship Friday and arrive at my house on Monday.

Looks good!
I like seeing him next to the OG G2, G-wiz!
Tracking shows he has cleared customs in NY. Hoping he's here by the end of the week, 'cause I'm jonesing for some new bot action.

The Autobot logo on his feet is optional or is it tampgraphed on?

It looks to me like it's a sticker. In some of the close-up shots, you can see the edges of the sticker just visible.

I seem to recall from a video review that all his emblems are stickers, so if you choose you can put either the classic or the G2 on his flippy chest panel.

G2 Bumblebee was just a shiny version of himself? That's disappointing.

You are correct, sir!

They're slowed down because of the mid-year sale.

My order shipped out Friday, and arrived today. :-P

All of the G1 molds in the G2 line were like that. Straight redecos, with or without new accessories.

^ Wasn't expecting anything other than a repaint, but with G2 Grimlock being blue, Sideswipe inverting his colors and adding electric green details, and both Megatron and the Combaticons sharing this bizarre purple camo theme, I thought Bumblebee would be something equally wild.

That ain't Goldbug. Coin got the name wrong.

I don't know how hard it would have been to do, or how well it would have held up, but I wonder how hard it would have been to have done MP G2 Bee in actual vacuum-metallized gold chrome.

I agree. This should have been Goldbug with a new head with just plain gold paint.

We've just seen a batch of in-hand images for the latest redeco of the Nissan Fairlady Z mold from Takara Tomy - but why not take a look at Masterpiece MP-18B Bluestreak in all his glory in our new Seibertron.com galleries? The last (as far as we know) addition to the Datsun streak (heh) of characters, the figure shares the same basic mold as the first Streak and the Tokyo Toy Show 2014 exclusive Silverstreak, with some added Prowl parts for further accuracy - and is also actually blue, a callback to the rare Diaclone predecessor figure.

Any of the images below will take you to the full show, including comparisons with the toys mentioned above, multiple poses, the trademark under-the-foot shot, and much much more. Click away!

Also, bit of trivia about the character this toy represents. He's a different person from G1 Bluestreak, suspected of having come from the Diaclone universe.

I didn't realize until I transformed MP-18S Bluestreak that he has Prowl's robot mode parts to make him look more like the G1 toy.
