I agree with the statement that his face should look like a Bee since he is a Camero and he turns into a robot so his battle mask mode and coloring dictate the name.. thats actually pretty sensible and intelligent. In G-1 he was a bug so hence the name then... so it works...
I also prefer this battlemode face to the original face underneath.. it suits him better with battle mode mask down.. and I too wish the toys being released have that battle mode version.. but I know for a fact that the Ultimate Bumblebee won't, or maybe I guess from what I have seen he won't..I could be wrong though..
In any event lets hope Takara gets the rights to produce the Movie Bumblebee in style as a Masterpiece Transformer..
That would have a movable and functional Battlemask option, now that would put their engineers to the test.. I could see this Movie Masterpiece Toy line being the ultimate challenge to Takara/Tomy.. given the kibble and mass shifting on these robots in disguise..I gotta say, I'm not pleased with all the movie designs, but at least this bumblebee (with battlemode mask) actually looks and feels like a G-1 representation..and Optimus Prime is pretty sweet too.. not too impressed by the other bots.. I still think Ironhide would look better in Red, and Ratchet should be done in White with Rescue markings, even though the rescue coloring is Puke Green, its still ugly...
Actually if they changed ratchet and made him black and called him trail breaker it would have suited his bot mode better..
But there is nothing we can do about it now..
