If he's a faithful VW bug and the same size as classics or smaller ... it'll be a maybe.
Artfeather was VERY tempting, but he was just too tall in robot mode by far and it's robot mode only works if you remove a bunch of stuff. Classics BB is already a little too big anyway. So ... it's a maybe.

Scale him the same size, prefrebly slightly smaller than Classics BB and I'm sold.
I get where you're coming from, but to the extent that Classics figures are modern updates, I have no problem with Classics BB not being a beetle. Although I did gave both my Classics & United 'Bees Beelzeboss upgrades for a armed to the teeth BB and an adorable little Goldbug. Love those guys!
Between the Classics update and the upcoming (G1) MP, I have no need for a 'Bee in between.

I'm hoping that the 'Bee picture is just trolling. So many other opportunities to partake in. And I'll echo previous sentiments: Throttlebots, Magnus, and Dinos (not in that particular order).

Good point however personally I feel that G1 BB was such an iconic Bot and the main reason for that was that the Beetle is such an iconic car, as much as I really like my Classics BB whenever I look at him I just think "I wish his feet looked more like a Beetle" now ArtFeather would scratch that itch however as mentioned before he is too big so this guy (if scaled correctly) is an instant buy for me.

I'm assuming the official classics Bee will be the same height as the official Takara MP Bee.
Only way I'd buy another is if it was scout sized possibly?

Yeah scout size would be great, plus he would fit in with iGears mini warriors.

That is something... i have ZERO interest in buying! I've got over a dozen Bumblebee's spread out across god knows how many lines. I don't need a third-party one, for the love of criminey!

Nice, would be interesting if an official Hasbro figure, but still super easy to pass due to the upcoming MP.
This would have been interesting 2 or 3 years ago but is just boring now.

I guess it's true: Bumblebee.
3rd Party prices being what they are, there's a good chance this will cost as much as MP BB, in which case, what's the use?

Yea.
With MP BB coming up, I don't see a point in this guy.
If he is somehow better than MP BB, and with that backpack I doubt it, then maybe.
But I think this is a pass for me.
For Sale:
Classics Magnus/Skywarp 2 pack MIB
Classics Devastator MIP
HA Sideswipe K-Mart exclusive color Loose
Currently looking for:
ROTF Target exclusive Sideswipe from the 2-pack
TFCC Punch/Counterpunch
Alternity Primes, silver & white versions
(opened is OK, to be used for customs)

This is so... dumb. There are Bumblebee's from the beginning of the franchise. There are SO many other characters they could do. Hey, your Throttlebots?!

Meh, what a shame, was actually really looking forwards to this

it looks pretty darn good. but if it's not scaled correctly I will actually riot!*need to see pricing first before deciding whether I may take the plunge. the legends one from a while back is pretty much good enough for my classics collection to be honest (at least til there's an updated beetle in the same size)
*i won't actually riot.

Even without the backpack and arm kibble, it's still the same size as Art Feather BB so no deal. If it was scout class I would be more interested. Plus Im not liking the upside down car roof with the windshield wipers on his chest instead of his belly like most BB's.

He's okay, but the side and rear windows in alt mode look wrong. If Takara weren't making a MP Bee then I might have gotten this, but he really isn't quite show accurate enough.
