Its incredibly small, smaller than Kingdom Jazz, transformation is awkward at best, he doesn’t tab in correctly in vehicle mode, and he’s just not that fun to mess around with. Sam is completely pointless.
I have the Buzzworthy release, I really think it's the best deluxe movie Bee. Transformation takes a bit to get used to, but the figure overall, especially in robot mode, is awesome.
I'm going to respectfully disagree with that assessment. Takara's MBM DotM Bee I think takes that award. Some may not like the black spoiler, but other than that it uses the updated DotM movie mold with a great paint.

I don't see what so good about a teeny tiny Deluxe bee with super loose hips and an awkward transformation that doesn't let him tab in properly in vehicle mode.
Had he been 15% larger he would have been real good, and probably avoided the tabbing issues in car mode.
He's barely o.k at best, but has some real issues.
If size is the main complaint when comparing DOTM against SS, then SS will always come up short (pun alert). SS are all designed to be as close to in scale with the rest of the SS line as possible, not the previous toylines. There was a noticable decrease in size of the movie toys somewhere between DOTM and TLK with Studio Series being pretty close to scale with TLK and sharing some molds.
For the transformation and tabbing together, are you sure you didn't just get a defective one, are are maybe missing a step somewhere? Mine tabs together just fine and most others who have the mold haven't mentioned any problems either. I haven't messed with it in a while, so I can take a look and see if there is something that might cause the tabbing issue you are having.

Jolt is one of the stand outs of the year for me. He is probably in my top 5 figures so far. I can't believe how accurate they got him, but I do hope DNA makes some new whips for him. Now I think we only need The Fallen, Sideways, Demolishor, and the Twins for the RotF figures to be completed!

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Four WalMarts produced a GRAND COMBINED TOTAL of 5 Transformers figures. 4 Netflix and a Blackarachnia in a spread of four stores. Until I see full shelves, I'll believe Hasbro as much as I believe politicians. I actually believe Hasbro even less.
I know my opinion and dollars mean diddly squat, but until I see actual product on shelves, they aren't getting squat from me monetarily.![]()

Here is what it looks like all the way pushed in from the other side.
Here is what both legs from the first photo look like from above tucked under the roof. On the left, the black foot is just starting to peek out from under the roof. On the right there is plenty of clearance under the roof. That is where the clear inside portion of the doors need to sit to have everything tab in.
Hopefully this does the trick for you. As a heads up, mine almost had the opposite problem. Mine was in a bin in car mode for a while and the door part and the rear fenders that stay on his legs did not want to let go of each other. I had to work them free a little bit.

Which ones? SS-74 Bee has been available online for several weeks at least on Amazon and is available for pre-order on BBTS and TFSource.
Joltn is up for pre-order on BBTS and TFSource, but not Amazon.

Sideswipe, the Sweeps, Waspinator and Shadow Panther. I mean in-stock by the way, not PO.

They've been largely avoiding AOE and TLK characters since they're less popular.

The TLK ones especially tended to be mere straight redecos anyway, so there's that too.

A shame because TLK Megatron is the best Megatron design ever.
GIMME MY LEADER SS TLK MEGS, GODDAMMIT!
