I'd love a MP Glyph out of this. Easy way for Takara to add another fembot to the line at the same time they make more money to justify the mold.

Yet people seem to (incorrectly) assume it's an omission or removal (despite not also complaining about the "omission" of MP-21G's jetpack).

Lol my mp bumblebee has the battle mask. And he didn't come from Amazon.
Not even that Lil baggie or paper.
It was inside the instruction sheet.

Then it's either a KO or your seller opened it up to slip in the extra Amazon stuff, because packed-in faces come in their own slot in the plastic bubble, not in the instructions.
Add-on bonuses, obviously, do not.

Is the gradient on the transformers logo incorrect on the KO version? My box has the correct logo
Can you tell me differences between KO and official on the figure itself?
And was the coin amazon exclusive?

Coin for Asian release. As for it being a KO, either you got the amazon exclusive version or your vendor was just a nice guy.

Except I don't think the battle mask is offered even at an extra price, which I'd be OK with if they did.

Yeah, if you ask me, the only versions of of this mold, both existing and hypothetical ones, that don't really need the battle mask are the regular cartoon-based MP-21 and a hypothetical (if unlikely) Bug Bite release. All others (G-2 Ver., Red Ver., a hypthetical black redeco, a hypothetical Glyph redeco) would need the battle mask since they'd be based on versions of the original battle-masked toy.Seibertron wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:Seibertron wrote:Red Bumblebee should have had a regular Bumblebee face and the face shield.

There is no MP Goldbug.

Goldbug deserves/warrants his own mold.

There is an KO of mp bumblebee but it has the same takara tomy logo but its packaging is lighter and not as dark as the offical/takasa tony verison

I got the Amazon extra slid in my case as well; I can verify that my seller is legit and the order was not placed through Amazon.
It was a nice, unexpected add on, regardless of origin.

Whenever the KO topic comes up I always like posting this video:
Anyhow now that THAT is out of the way...
I am wondering if Takara will milk the hell out of this Bumblebee mold. I am kinda wondering if they'll come out with a Wasp, Glyph, Bugbite, or maybe even a Goldbug. It seems like something they'd do. I'm a big Wasp/Waspinator fan so that's the one I'm anticipating.

For the amount of REAL Transformers they have, they have like 2 or 3 times as many KOs. At least at the popular Costa Rican toy stores.

Already happening(the Lambor mold, MP-10,Seekers). Just waiting for a retooled BB for CJ.

But then you'd think someone would say "Have you seen Slicer" to them too - as they'd sell a lot of that too if they could make that too.
But the recoloured Bumblebee's would be easier as it's just a straight colour swap job.
I would actually PREFER to own a KO G2 Sideswip with the proper head over the one with the official oddly changed one - I much prefer the more restrained head - I suppose I'm in the opposite position to some in that I want one with the incorrect parts. But then I also prefer the KO Sideswipe head too - the Official one looks like one of the designers copied a human likeness of one of their friends onto a robot and it looks as much Japanese human look as G1 Galvatron does too. Red Alert has no such issue so again I prefer Sideswipe to not look quite so Japanese as the official one does.. as it's not like it's an established likeness for him to look like that - so I consider the Official Takara version to be well "wrong" looking.

I really am doubting at this point that Takara will release an MP Cliffjumper.
I am also kinda disliking how G2 Bee looks now. I used to like the gold color, but in higher quality pictures like the one above, I can tell that it looks like just gold plastic rather than paint. I really want to get original Bee but he is just too pricey just for Spike or Daniel or whoever he is. I want this mold so bad though.

It still wouldn't be Cliffjumper, as he's a different model car (Porsche 924) and not a retool of Bee here.
And don't loose hope! MP Clffjumper may still be in the plans, but don't expect the car mode to look like the original Super-Deformed toy. It worked out for Bumblebee, but for Cliff:

Do you think this was an official leak?

If it was, then most likely it's been cancelled since that was two years ago. That "leak" came out in early 2014.
Posted by DedicatedGhostArt on April 17th, 2016 @ 3:24pm CDT
Anyway, I just figured out probably why they chose the vehicle mode for MP Bee that they did over the G1 alt mode! Since the model they used is a longer and less "squished" vehicle, maybe they did this to plan ahead and more easily do a Cliffjumper retool? I can totally see this...

Being retooled into this...

But NOT from this vehicle.

See what I mean? Maybe this means hope of a Cliffjumper after-all.

TFormers don't allow hotlinking. It worked for you initially because it was in your cache. Guessing you restarted your computer thus when you came back, it was no longer in your cache.
It's still there though so it definitely hasn't disappeared. It's just your computer.
