The paint weathering and rust looks pretty good, and makes him a lot more screen accurate in his 70's Camaro form. I especially appreciate that the hinge on the hood and roof assembly now has a pin through it to keep it from popping apart every time you transform it, unlike SS-01 Bumblebee.

The worst part is, she’s not even mine, I GAVE HER AS A GIFT TO MY BROTHER!

So this version is better with the pin right? If one were to pick only 1 between the two, which would be best?

We've still got 6 more Constructicons to go, as well as a LOT of missing characters from all of the sequels, including Skids, Mudflap, Jolt, Wheelie, Acrcce, Chromia, Elita-One, Sideways, Yellow Rampage, Demolisher, Scalpel, Soundwave (satellite), Ravage, Grindor, Insecticon, The Fallen, Dino, Que, Roadbuster, Topsin, Leadfoot, Brains, Sentinel Prime, Shockwave, Hatchet, Soundwave (car), Laserbeak, Hound (AoE), Crosshairs, Drift (Bugatti), Scorn, Slug, Strafe, Galvatron, Junk Heap, "Two Heads," Steeljaw, Stupid Drone, Hot Rod, Hound (TLK), Squeaks, Daytrader, Dragonstorm, Stormreign, Dragonicus, Steelbane, Skullitron, Nitro Zeus, Barricade (TLK), Mohawk, Onslaught, Dreadbot, Berserker, Cliffjumper, and Shatter (jet). And that's just a mostly complete list of properly named characters from the movies! There's a lot more unnamed or unofficially named filler Autobots and Decepticons that can be used for more conceptual entries. The Studio Series has a loooong ways to go yet until the movie cast is completely represented. I'm hoping it has the legs to go another several years at this point.

I'm really hoping they don't go that route, unless they plan this line to run on for 5 years or so. That would be acceptable.
If we get a new DotM Bee, I really want him to be capable of having Stealth Force

Just the deco

And the pin.
It's annoying. The Clunker Bee has a nice rusty look and that pin in the roof joint, but is lacking accurate paint in places that the first figure has (lacking yellow on the stomach piece, small parts of the forearms and most notably on the cannon arm).

Thanks, I'd kinda answered my own question by watching a review of the official toy. I've ended up with an oversize KO then, but it's surprisingly good quality and they've improved it a bit by enclosing the waist swivel front and back with some detailing to the front piece, The arm sword has some vaguely Cybertronian squiggles along each straight side of the blade. A lot of it is held together with screws, No Autoboot insignia or VW badges though, and no battle mask.

It holds together pretty well, about the only niggle in alt mode is a few triangular gaps in the roof line and round the windows and the rear engine lid dislodges with a touch. The tab underneath to store his gun arm on doesn't hold ('though the blade connectors are fine), the body piece isn't big enough to grip the gun hole and there's another one on the inside of the roof which can supposedly hold the arm/gun arm or blade in robot mode, none of them fit that either.
This one, the wheel's are off the table and I'm holding it with my nails under the roof
Datail of the filled in waist and the blade with symbols rather than dimples
Comaprison with Masterpiece Bee and the Legends class VW Bee from the movie line
He makes a good companion for HA Bee.
Despite not being quite what I was expecting I'm happy with him, and at the price the deluxes are going for now and the QC issues I did end up with a bargain IMO.

Because I have looked at every single KO of this guy and the MPM and they all have the chest pieces straight out like yours does, which leaves some gaps in the chest in robot mode. I'm hoping that's just a mistransformed chest

Is that not just on the Movie Masterpiece Bee, they tilt up to reveal 'missile pods'? There's no further transformation in the chest past what's in the pictures, this is an oversized KO of the deluxe toy, not the MMP. There's only a side to side swivel which untabs the chest pieces for them to rotate up.
