Thanks to fellow fan, Shajaki, we were directed to Amazon's listing for the upcoming Masterpiece MP-21G Bumble G2Ver. Back in the early 90's, Hasbro released Generation 2, which was a mix of repainted G1 molds, new and original molds, as well as a semi-cgi rehash of the original G1 series. Of those repainted G1 molds, Minicar Bumblebee was among the first to see release and he came along sporting a vacuum metalized (aka chrome) deco that made him all shiny, which you can see here.

TakaraTomy is homaging that G2 release with a metallic paint deco release of the MP-21 Bumblebee mold, with new accessories including a jetpack!

You can see the order page here and we've mirrored the images below:

Those silver faces (happy and serious) would look great on the standard MP Bumble.

Indeed, since Goldbug was more than a mere head remold and deco change of Bee's original body. He deserves his own mold.

absolutely. GB is different enough to warrant his own mold, cheap repaints is really not representative of what the MP line is about.

however, should you be so inclined, id put money on a 3P making a GB head replacement. and you could even go so far as to flip that G2 sign around to the blank end and put a repro G1 autobot insignia on to make him all proper.

G2 does nothing for me, but I think I have to get that jetpack.

I really want the silver serious face with the proper yellow headcrest to go on the regular figure. Also that photo is evil. Showing the side mirror as an accessory made me look through those pictures like 5 times because I thought it was a scope for his gun.

I'm diggin' this deco. Glad I waited on the OG release. Jet pack or exo-suit, doesn't really matter, but I gotta have that battle mask. I would rather have toy accurate than that derpy cartoon face. :lol:

Thanks for the super sale amiami.

I mean, if that's what you want to do, fine, do what you want with whatever you buy, but even with a new head and G1 symbol, there's still plenty different between Bee and Bug. For instance Bug's wheels all go on his feet in robot mode*, and he has that kibble backpack. So while you can make it work, and if you want to, again, great, good for you, it's still not "all proper".

*For some reason, the placement of those wheels on his feet always make me think he's wearing roller skates :lol:

No, but seriously, the cartoon face is amazing. Especially in-hand, it has all the geometry from the character model.

That is why to those naysayers.......quit PREJUDGING a fig until released! BB is amazing, especially for his size.

Transformed MP-21 Exosuit again today because I wanted to see it next to LG10 Arcee. The Exosuit is such a wonderfully clever toy. Surprised some didn't care for it.

I think this is one of my top 3 favourite MP's to date. Very good articulation, everything is stored away nicely. The only downside I can think of are the holes in his lower arms. But that doesn't bother me. Love the way he looks in robot mode, very little 'kibble' or whatever you call it, much like MP-10 there's nothing hanging around that boths you. Atleast nothing I can think of. The Spike/Daniel doesn't do anything for me thoughn, would've preffered him to come without and be 10 euro/dollar cheaper instead.

So I'm gonna go ahead and toss my hat in the ring for MP Bumblebee being the best MP figure yet.

Agreed! Especially how they implemented in such a small body structure.The MP engineers really do out do each other creation they release.

From the same show of the MP Tracks image we posted, Cyberpath has also posted a HobbyLog.jp photo of the G2 redeco of Takara Tomy Masterpiece Bumblebee - MP-21G Bumble G2Ver. Pretty much the same as the figure release earlier this year, but with a shiny gold deco, shown off here with the battle mask on. Check it out!

I've got this little bad boy on pre-order from AmiAmi.
This photo is making me anxious. Thanks CP! :grin:

My order still shows late July for release, but it seems everyone has doubt.
What gives? Do they keep moving the release date?

I know most MPs get miss their intended releases by a week or so, but I also don't understand why some people think this isn't coming. Hell, Exhaust was released, why wouldn't G2 Bee?

Sure. I would think this release is pure gravy for ol' Tommy Takaraka.
Especially after Smokey.

The release date just keeps getting pushed back, I think it according to BBTS it was supposed to be released in February or March back in November and the date just keeps getting pushed back and back with no reason provided.

IIRC, MPs 6,7,9,13,18,19,22 and 23 didn't hit their original release dates. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Gold Bee will be released

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!

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