Lego is betting big on this Bumblebee release. A few months ago, they organized a reveal presentation to a slew of influencers, showcasing the transformation and scheduling interviews with designers. The presentation was kept under wraps until the official reveal of the set to the public so now there is a bevy of content available.

We have one such video below which includes the transformation and an interview with the designers. The transformation is far more involved than Optimus' but it also has partsforming. It should be noted that while Optimus' designer used to be a Transformers designer at Hasbro, Bumblebee's designer was not. Still, it is very impressive to see the lego set go from car to robot form with such minimal partsforming.

There is no preorder, the set will simply be released July 4th for $89.99. It can be ordered on the Lego site then, which is a good option for more expensive sets since they often have gifts with purchase: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/bumblebee-10338

That does not look good.
In any modes.

The Optimus was okay, but that Bee is horrendous.

Kinda sad that the only thing that looks a little right is his feet, but it doesn't translate well into a good front end for the car mode.

Car mode is rough, but I wasn't expecting too much. Bee was going to be hard to do no matter what using existing pieces without having to make unique/new pieces for the car mode. Prime's alt mode and transformation made things relatively easy for LEGO, Bee not so much. At least the plus side is it looks so little like a WV Beetle that they didn't have to bother with licensing.

I'm still getting it, but will wait and hope of a Christmas time sale, like they did do for Prime last year.

I'll need to get this, I loved Prime, and this is different, but still looks interesting to me

Finally built my Bee, and he is cool! He is adorable in person, I really like him!
