Confirming what everybody already knew, the BB s a new scout sized BB mold. With a slightly different transformation.
What we didn't know is the Hydro portion does not need to be removed to transform him.
Priced as a Voyager, seems a tad expensive for a scout. If Hasbro decided to release just the a scout BB, I'd likely pick it up. If only because its in better scale to the other figures.
YouTube user Peaugh has published a video review of TakaraTomy's recently released Jetpack Bumblebee. The figure has been cancelled from it's original Hasbro release as Hydrodrive Bumblebee. The video details the figure's new size, transformation, and Jetpack accessory.
It's surprisingly well designed, but my god are those paint apps fugly. I wonder if accuracy nuts over in Japan are importing Hasbro's versions instead of the other way around XD

Doubly glad I canceled my preorder now.
The original Bumblebee is still better, even if he is out of scale. I'll deal with the size issues. This is just craptastic, honestly.
I definitely don't like the gold "chrome" all over.
And the backpack is even cheesier than I expected. =\
*sighs*

Yes. Why she was telling me about her experience with you, I don't know. It was awkward.
Laugh inducing, but awkward.

Heh heh, I FINALLY had something before peaugh. Idk why Hasbro would call him "Hydrodive" Bumblebee, doesn't even look like it goes in the ocean. Anyway, yeah, this is a decent figure, but only get him if you really like Animated
