Thing that troubles me about the face-changing gimmick is how strong the hold will be after a few changes and if you'll have collectors having to glue the faceplate on instead
A 'collector' will not take the toy out of the box. If you are a 'fan' you will be playing with the toys and posing them and enjoying the option of changing the face and giving BB a war face.
I'm a collector, I unpack them, put them in the pose I like, and put them on my shelf to display my collection.
MISB collectors won't take it out of the box, but they're not the only kind of collector. Next you'll tell me that "true fans" really do exist and travel on flying pigs to hunt Haggis.

Can we take it by some kinda reverse logic that you're NOT ok with the backpack if it isn't? 
If the mold is just used for Bumblebee, then yeah I think the backpack is a bit disappointing but I don't know what else I would have expected them to do. Somehow having the back pack fold up or invert or something to make it look less like half the top of the car hanging off his back would have been great. It doesn't look terrible, just not what I was expecting.
But again, if this "cheat" was done with Goldbug in mind, I'm AOK with that decision.
Looking at the pic, it's impossible to have had this transform with multiple panels and fold in on itself, if you look at it, there is already a lot of stuff folded up under it.
