Hasbro Pulse has released some information about the upcoming Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee figure! The press release contains mostly information that we knew about previously, but is still here to give you a little more in-depth information on the upcoming Masterpiece. Read up on the release below, and let us know what you think in the comments section below.

3 THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE BUMBLEBEE MASTERPIECE FIGURE

The news has broken, and the excitement is spilling out in waves. The Masterpiece Bumblebee figure will soon be available, and we assume you—the fans, collectors, and more—have some questions. As a preemptive strike, here are 3 things to know about this monumental action figure!

So…when exactly CAN we get it? And what will it cost me?

Short answer: Soon! Longer answer: The Masterpiece Bumblebee figure was created for ages 8 and up, and is slated for release in summer 2017. It has an MSRP of $79.99.

Is this modeled after the TF 5 Bumblebee, an earlier incarnation, or something different all together?

This Masterpiece Bumblebee figure is based on the first Transformers live action movie using some die-cast parts to commemorate the film’s 10th anniversary . .

Timeout. Does it convert?

Does it ever! Much like in the first Transformers live action movie, Bumblebee converts from his dynamic, Autobot scout form into a 2006 Chevy Camaro concept car. The figure also has a whopping 33 points of articulation, making it a collectable, and versatile figure. The design premise allows fans to articulate the figure into all sorts of movie-accurate poses!

Dengecki Hobby has a 5 hour video of the Japan Wonderfest event with guests talking about the toys they designed.

At the 4:32:53 mark, famed Takara designer Hisashi Yuki promotes MPM-3 Bumblebee, as he did with Legends Super Ginrai before. This is a joint Hasbro and Takara design, with both company names appearing on the box.

He shows off the features such as the articulation and the battlemask.

Enjoy!

This Bee is literally perfect. The deluxe 2007 Bee was my first Autobot and 2nd Transformer only to voyager Megatron, so I have a soft spot for the guy. Can't wait to get him!

Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of weibo (again) we now have several stock photographs of the upcoming Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee figure. These pictures show that the yellow is of a more vivid hue than other Bumblebee figures tend to be, and that the grey is quite a bit darker than the official pictures would have us believe. The pictures have been mirrored below, and you can check out the source here, and if you need to refresh yourself check out the official images of MPM Bumblebee and all of its features. What is new here is the "exclusive" sticker seen on the box which confirms the early doubts from the Toysrus listing that it was a Toysrus Exclusive. That means there would be no preorders available stateside as this product is only available on Toysrus, just like what happened with the Chaos on Velocitron set. So what do you think of how this figure is shaping up? Let us know in the comments below.

What happened?

That nice deep yellow was changed to an eye searing highlighter yellow?

and the cool smokey windows are now bright blue?

Talk about changes from prototype to final figure.

Not liking this so much anymore.

I doubt any amount of lighting and photography tricks or lack of skill would account for the smokey gray to now be blue.

Even the box shows it as smokey gray.

I'll wait for in hand review before actually deciding whether I want it or not.

Assuming the out of box picks are for the Hasbro Version and the box is Takara as shown in the corner possibly.

But I was under the impression that figure was going to be the same in both releases.

THAT'S IT?! Yeah, call me spoiled, but I want to see the BACK. They promised the roof will hide inside, making Bee having a REAL back. I'm also curious to see how he'll scale with other MPs.

Finally, does this mean there will be other MP Bay figures? We kinda already got it with the Buster mold of Optimus Prime, but I'd really love to see a MP rendition of Optimus Prime. The MAD engeneering it would require...

Yes. MPM Prime has been pretty much confirmed:

transformers-movie-masterpiece-mpm-optimus-prime-thread-t108752.php

There was also the Masterpiece Starscream form the Leader Starscream Mold.

Bee, and Prime will be continuing the numbering scheme started with Starscream and the first Bee.

Which is why Bumblebee here is MPM-3.

Prime would ostensibly be MPM-4.

Posted by Carnivius_Prime on March 29th, 2017 @ 4:45pm CDT

Both Leader Starscream and the Masterpiece redeco are silly monies on eBay. Would be nice if Hasbro would re-release them.

Those Bumblebee stock photos make the figure look worse than it does but that's lousy stock photography for you.

Yeesh, that sure is a deco change. My 2007 deluxe Bee has a better yellow. I hope these aren't final. I remember that TR Chromedome had drastic brown differences but you could barely tell on the actual figure. Probably just lighting.

Who, me? I'll be lucky if I can afford any. Really hoping that the early £25 Deluxe and £32 Voyager prices is a mistake cos damn. New Deluxe Bee and Vogager Prime are my most wants (yeah i'm boring going for those two cos they have the most toys ever but I really like the new figures in photos and want to see how they are in person). MPM Bee would be nice but too expensive and doesn't really fit into my collection other than as a possibly seperate tribute piece to one of my fave ever badass robots.

My local car boot sale starts up again on April 7th. Hoping to get some 'new' stock to fix up for profit and some random bargains. Not looking forward to those 6am Sunday bike rides to the field 6 miles away to make sure I get there in time before all the good stuff has been scavenged.

Oh jeez. Suppose it's better the stock photo is missing a wheel than if the figure itself inside the packaging was missing a wheel.

And that's precisely why I want to see Bonecrusher soon in the MPM line. He's one of those movie characters who never really got his due, despite being in one of the movie's funnest scenes.

With MPM Prime as a definite, you can bet your bumper that if a Bonecrusher followed soon afterwards, I'd have the two locked in mortal combat on my shelf, with Prime beating the eyeballs out of the 'Con just like old times.

I honestly don't care when we'd get him as long as we do ultimately do. But IMO he deserves a proper new figure sooner than Blackout does.

I would love that. And if I could just have the cast of the DS Decepticons game fully realized, I'd be forever content. That game was one of the things that got me into Transformers, and I still love the personalities they gave the 'cons. Especially slick and smooth-talking Barricade.

Even though a movie masterpiece Bumblebee is all I need, I really hope this movie masterpiece line continues on for a while. There's so many amazing designs from these movies that deserve more from their figures.

Also, do you guys think this Bumblebee will be remolded for possible ROTF/DOTM/TLK releases?

Who knows... it may eventually be remolded for the different Bee looks.

But who knows if or when.

If it sells well it may be possible we get to see MPM-03[a][b][c] or something for the other looks in the future.
