Although I've got to say, especially now looking at side-to-side pics of the MP BB vs the Netflix BB, its absolutely amazing how the WFC Netflix BB looks SO much freaking better than even the MP. I'd argue by far the best G1 Bumblebee ever made, hands down, without competition. But that's just me. The proportions, the face sculpt, the colors, everything. I genuinely love that Netflix BB.

I agree with almost the entire list, but this would have been my #4. Pretender Bee felt like the proper upgrade that Goldbug wasn't thanks to that 4x4 Beetle alt mode and bigger bot mode. I have both the Pretender version, the Legends version (same thing without the shell) and a KO red one which fits his Cliffjumper head well (the only negative of the figure for me).

Can you share pics of the KO "Legends" Bumblebee? I'd love to see it since Pretender Bumblebee's inner robot had Cliffjumper's head.

Good job on this list BTW.

Since ROTB is delayed,if the licenses aren't a problem,it would be a good time update movie VW Bumblebee in 2022.
Evil Eye wrote:Funny question, but I kinda want to get myself the V1 MP Bumblebee mold. Question is, which version should I go for? All have their charm to me- the standard yellow is a classic of course, and I actually don't have a yellow "G1" Bee in my collection (my CHUG BB rep is the police deco I made from Bugbite), but the G2 would go with my G2 Sideswipe. Meanwhile I actually really like how the red version looks, especially in car mode. Something about a red bug just works, you know?
