I know you may already have figured it out, but I'm gonna say it anyway, because I wanna:

The official name is MP-21R Bumblebee Red Body

So this pretty much confirms that Clamp Down is coming out on Saturday (in Japan) with Road Rage and red 'Bee. It's the last weekend in December, and MPs seem to all be released on Saturdays.

It still amazes me how much of that toy's robot mode deco is based more on that of Animated Road Rage than the G1 Road Rage toy.

The more I see this, the more I want it.

They're really going for the femme fatale thing, huh?

Hmm, RoadRage's red color looks better in these pics, maybe it's a trick of the lighting. She doesn't look as matte or de-saturated, and her face is really well-done. Is she actually shorter than MP Tracks or is that just perspective? Maybe Takara did something similar to what they had done with CHUG Wheeljack & Tracks' legs a few years ago, which were different length by a few millimeters. :-?

Only lacking the blue lipgloss on the MP version. That would be gothic stunning!

Blue lips would have been amazing, and fitting this is a masterpiece figure after all. That would've been a great paint application.

I haven't bought Tracks yet & he may have to wait even longer. I like the look of Road Rage even better.

But Animated's lips are red in that pic.

Picked mine up at lunch time and had some time this evening to tinker with her a bit. Thoughts below, a bit stream-of-consciousness like:

Wish this also had a stand, but not the end of the world. Inner bubble was double taped, outer box just had one, wonder what caused that if they're all like that. Wish it came with a stand. Either I'm doing something wrong with the gun or she can't hold it well, probably the former. Not crazy about the head, the forward/back tilt on the neck has nowhere to lock in. Mirrors are a bit easier to get in as opposed to Tracks, likely due to the lack of a metallic painted overcoat.

Nice to look at, looks great when posed, but somehow I'm having a tough time getting her to stay together when moving things around. Painted details are super crisp, A+ job on that. Even Twincast's paint is superb for what it is.

Make sure the flat tab behind the gun handle goes into the slot on the top of the hand (same slot where the mushroom peg is). She holds it solidly.

Oh good I thought it was just mine. Kinda weird that Track's head clicks forward but hers doesn't.

Bingo! That did it. Thanks man.

Last fig from 2015. Just got RR and Beacon General. Same as the previous, when TT said they'd re-tool her, they really did. #-o

At least Tracks' neck can lock (sort off). RR doesn't lock anywhere.

Just like scotty, I can't seem to keep her grip on her black beam gun. (Tried following the instructions but the grip is still wobbly.)

Finally got it with the tab thingie. Thanks LC for the tip!
