They made it so that you can store Origins Bumblebee in the back in his alt mode, though you do have to partially transform him so that he'll fit. Check the image of the back of the box. I think that's better.

MISB collecting is a bit pointless with these cheap open boxes.

True. That's what I liked so much with the previous boxes, ER/Siege as well as SS86 before the window reduction.

Legacy packaging it total garbage due to its cheaply made materials, paper thin carboard.

Simply an excuse to charge higher price for what's essentially a DLX? It plausibly works here due to the design and size need for Bee to fit inside, but I fail to see why any of the card warrant Voyager release. And as it is we're got Ironhide and Ratchet as Voyagers so that should tell us all we need to know how it would turn out. Are those two more complex than say Sunstreaker or Tracks?

There's a slippery slope here fi we start the push for for something like that I think, because then what is the factor in which Bots get pushed and which ones remain DLX? Will it essentially be all the minibots are only DLX releases at that point?

If you have the rods you already have a Bee that fits inside. Wheeljack is designed to accommodate origins Bee, a bit crumpled up mind you, but he does fit.

That's what the little side panel on the back of the Wheeljack box is indicating.




While a smaller, non transforming one, would fit more conformably, it would be technically out of scale.

Wheeljack looks like he a siege cassette bot stuck on the front of him :/ not a great figure by any means but def a great oddity that I might have to pick up

You guys are right! Hard to see it as we thought it was showing the storage for the window shield. Need to stop buying TFs and get new glasses ...
