TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece: MP-21G Bumblebee G2 Version In-Hand

Posted by shajaki May 31, 2015 at 5:16pm CDT 19,878 views
As many of you may know the TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-21 Bumblebee is getting a G2 deco release (as MP-21G respectively), and Weibo user Lost-Zzl has some in-hand shots! Generation 2 of course took place in the 90's when everything was shiny, neon, and mostly, EXTREME. So this Gold Chromed Bumblebee certainly fits in that category. With these shots we also see that this G2 version comes with all 3 faces (2 stock & Amazon Bonus) and that the molded G2 Autobot chest insignia is flipped around (in case you sensed something was missing). Scroll down to see the shots, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all your Transformers News!

Wow, paint looks pretty great. Looking forward to seeing some pix with the cartoon face.

And I think that I just now realised that MP-21 has waist swivel. :lol:

I actually prefer the toy's "Battle Mask" face to the cartoon face. I know, I know, BLASPHEMY! :michaelbay: :BOOM: :BANG_HEAD:

Glorious! I really hope they do more G2 inspired figures. Can't wait to add him to the collection.

Not at all! The battle mask is so awesome, I'll eventually buy a second MP BB to display him both ways.

If it were me, I'd have MP-21 with the cartoon face and MP-21G with the battle mask.

I've almost got 4 different MP displays going:
-Cartoon accurate (which is most TT releases)
-G1 toy accurate (Silverstreak, Prowl w/repros and shoulder cannons, and BB w/mask)
-Comic & Oddballs (YOTX, King Grim, G2's)

You could toss Hasbro's Grimlock and Rodimus into that category.

I wasn't listing them all, but yeah totally. Speaking of Grimlock, I'm very surprised they never made a cartoon accurate yellow (instead of gold) version, or a G2 Blue version. I'd but those in a heartbeat!

I've always liked G1/2 Bee with a face mask. It was somewhat disappointing when his pretender form lacked it.

It was really weird how that toy even had Cliffjumper's face instead of Bumblebee's.

If they do a Masterpiece Cliffjumper, I wonder how they will do the car mode. Will they go for the accurate version of the Porsche or will they leave it superdeformed.

With licensing, it'd have to be real world accurate.

If it's just a red Bee, it certainly won't be a Masterpiece. [-(

Oh, mark my words: there'll be a MP21R, Red Bumblebee. They love their repaints and retools, have shown much Diaclone love, so its just a matter of time. Dunno what he'll be named, but it won't be Cliffjumper ;)
