Is it just me or does the bot mode look very disproportionate. The head sculpt looks good though.

Seems a little lazy in comparison to Megatron...
Has a Classics Sunstreaker vibe to me.

hmmm...looks okay i guess. he's a bit too short and fat even for a bumblebee...
bot mode reminds me of sunstreaker, while alt mode reminds me of ironhide.
guess it's better to wait for pics of the colored version.

It's almost insulting that Takara and the vendors plan to charge 50 bucks for this turd. Definitely not for me.

The conceptual art for him was an instant buy, this prototype is an easy pass.
That item is hardly worth the effort. It sort of shocks me that it has such care in its head, arms and legs only to be complete fail in the torso department. I'm hoping there's some for of mechanism in play that allows the chest to slide in a bit, or something similar. If not, then the bulging chest that sticks out rediculously far was very played down in the concept image.
It's simply stopped stroking me.

I like the alt mode since it evokes a Bumblebee flavour. VW Beetle, minis, hatchbacks, superminis, etc. all look "right" as BB alt modes to me. Compact cars are the way to go for BB in my opinion.
The robot mode, hmm, very chunky torso while the limbs are relatively scrawny. That's my main issue. It's unbalanced in robot mode. I like the design of the limbs, though, so if I were in charge of designing it, I'd say find a way to alter the torso rather than the limbs.
I like the head sculpt. It's an update to the traditional G1 hornhead design, which I like.
Admittedly, the concept art does show a rotund figure but these photos show a chunkier body. Wow, if only it wasn't so big in the torso, I'd buy this. I like but am in no way a big fan of the other Alternity figures and BB was the first one I was considering buying since his alt mode reminds me of a more traditional alt mode for the character.

Has to be mis-transformed. Can't see TT putting out something that looks nothing more than a re-shelling of a BT.

I think it is miss transformed. look at the chest, it looks like the roof is supposed to flip over
if not then, either way its a pass

Could it be that they have his head, arms and legs facing his back, so we don't see the actual front, jus the back with the limbs backward? If not, that is epic, epic fail.

I'm hopeful some color or some fiddling with the transformation improves the look of this thing greatly...as of now, I think I'm with the "yikes!" crowd.

Wow.

When it even draws your ire, there's something wrong.
Yeah, so far it doesn't look good, but I'll wait to see some color pics before making my final judgement.
Even if the lower torso extends more so you can see his hip armor under it would be a major improvement. He's just too short and fat.

Everything is fine, but his body.
I can understand having their chest as the face of the car, but not half the frikin' car being their body.

Alt mode looks great....
but that bot mode, it can't be right.
No change of grabbing this one unless there is a mistransformation here.

Massive Torso and stubby legs look disproportionate - doesn't help there's no waist. Too bad,really. Holding off on this for now.
