While this could just be for fun rather than a full blown tease, the fact that we now know we are probably getting a Hasbro MP Bumblebee does beg the question as to whether or not the MP Bumblebee featured on that picture is Takara's or Hasbro's own issue.

I just want to point out that they've used MP Bee two other times here and here. It was likely all done just in fun, but it definitely got the rumor rolling about two weeks ago.

It's worth it. I consider MP Bumblebee the single most perfect Transformer ever made.

For larger ones they're roughly half the price of their Japanese counterparts, but for the cars they've been just about the same. When it comes to the big MPs it makes sense to take a chance and wait for Hasbro (this is the year we should see Ultra Magnus if ever), but for the cars the best bet is to import. My MP BB only cost US$35 plus another US$5 for shipping by importing.Ironhidensh wrote:Starsaber468 wrote:Me right now: I don't have the MP bumblebee mold and now their is possibly going be release I might get it.

That's a pretty bold statement. Personally, the forearm kibble bothers me way too much.

I stand by it. For me, the Bee represents everything I want in a transformer.
