Me: I'll be damned if I'm going to give any of my money for this stupid, crappy movie junk.


Hasbro/Takara: *whips out movie masterpiece Bumblebee*


Me: well, maybe just a little money.

Too much yellow already!

this is me

like squeeks and leader megs
i wasnt gonna go all out on this toy line but i may have to get 5-9 now

Each MPM figure getting its own thread!

This Bee is literally perfect. The deluxe 2007 Bee was my first Autobot and 2nd Transformer only to voyager Megatron, so I have a soft spot for the guy. Can't wait to get him!

Fellow Seibertronians, courtesy of weibo (again) we now have several stock photographs of the upcoming Movie Masterpiece Bumblebee figure. These pictures show that the yellow is of a more vivid hue than other Bumblebee figures tend to be, and that the grey is quite a bit darker than the official pictures would have us believe. The pictures have been mirrored below, and you can check out the source here, and if you need to refresh yourself check out the official images of MPM Bumblebee and all of its features. What is new here is the "exclusive" sticker seen on the box which confirms the early doubts from the Toysrus listing that it was a Toysrus Exclusive. That means there would be no preorders available stateside as this product is only available on Toysrus, just like what happened with the Chaos on Velocitron set. So what do you think of how this figure is shaping up? Let us know in the comments below.

How is it shaping up? As of now (no mmp optimus pics yet), this is the only thing connected to Last Knight that I'm dropping money on.

Leader Megs, that is all

What happened?


That nice deep yellow was changed to an eye searing highlighter yellow?

and the cool smokey windows are now bright blue?


Talk about changes from prototype to final figure.

Not liking this so much anymore.

God I can't wait for this figure! Hopefully it shows up before I move. I dunno if there is a TRU anywhere near where I'll be post mid-July

I doubt any amount of lighting and photography tricks or lack of skill would account for the smokey gray to now be blue.

Even the box shows it as smokey gray.

I'll wait for in hand review before actually deciding whether I want it or not.

Assuming the out of box picks are for the Hasbro Version and the box is Takara as shown in the corner possibly.

But I was under the impression that figure was going to be the same in both releases.

THAT'S IT?! Yeah, call me spoiled, but I want to see the BACK. They promised the roof will hide inside, making Bee having a REAL back. I'm also curious to see how he'll scale with other MPs.

Finally, does this mean there will be other MP Bay figures? We kinda already got it with the Buster mold of Optimus Prime, but I'd really love to see a MP rendition of Optimus Prime. The MAD engeneering it would require...

Even though Leader Starscream is incredible, Finger crossed for a MP version!

Yes. MPM Prime has been pretty much confirmed:

transformers-movie-masterpiece-mpm-optimus-prime-thread-t108752.php

There was also the Masterpiece Starscream form the Leader Starscream Mold.




Bee, and Prime will be continuing the numbering scheme started with Starscream and the first Bee.

Which is why Bumblebee here is MPM-3.

Prime would ostensibly be MPM-4.

Both Leader Starscream and the Masterpiece redeco are silly monies on eBay. Would be nice if Hasbro would re-release them.

Those Bumblebee stock photos make the figure look worse than it does but that's lousy stock photography for you.

Yeesh, that sure is a deco change. My 2007 deluxe Bee has a better yellow. I hope these aren't final. I remember that TR Chromedome had drastic brown differences but you could barely tell on the actual figure. Probably just lighting.

If they do a Masterpiece Blackout, I will never need to buy another Transformer again, and can finally die happily, without any further desires

Come on, give us the Leader we all demand since 10 years!

the wonkiness of the gun arm on that MPM Bumblebee stock photo is annoying. Fix it, Hasbro.

at least its fixable and not made like that.
these new photos make him look like he has cankles

oh jeez poor sideswipe

did they change his cannon too. it looks different

Carnivius_Prime, there has been even worse, remember that Combiner Wars Ironhide with the missing wheel?


By the way, I really look forward to your thoughts on the new molds in the TLK line when they arrive.

william-james88 wrote:Carnivius_Prime, there has been even worse, remember that Combiner Wars Ironhide with the missing wheel?

I don't think I ever saw that one! :O

Who, me? I'll be lucky if I can afford any. Really hoping that the early £25 Deluxe and £32 Voyager prices is a mistake cos damn. New Deluxe Bee and Vogager Prime are my most wants (yeah i'm boring going for those two cos they have the most toys ever but I really like the new figures in photos and want to see how they are in person). MPM Bee would be nice but too expensive and doesn't really fit into my collection other than as a possibly seperate tribute piece to one of my fave ever badass robots.

My local car boot sale starts up again on April 7th. Hoping to get some 'new' stock to fix up for profit and some random bargains. Not looking forward to those 6am Sunday bike rides to the field 6 miles away to make sure I get there in time before all the good stuff has been scavenged.

Oh jeez. Suppose it's better the stock photo is missing a wheel than if the figure itself inside the packaging was missing a wheel.

Everybody wants to see an MPM Blackout, and I'm just over here hoping for a Bonecrusher.

Still silly his biggest toy was a Deluxe when he had that memorable encounter with Optimus who in the same toyline had Voyager and Leader class toys.

Loved the name, love the look. He is worthy of a larger figure

A bigger Bonecrusher would be awesome. As would a bigger Blackout/Grindor.

black out/grindor is gonna be a cheetor/tigatron thing.
supposedly grinder is taller than black out

And that's precisely why I want to see Bonecrusher soon in the MPM line. He's one of those movie characters who never really got his due, despite being in one of the movie's funnest scenes.

With MPM Prime as a definite, you can bet your bumper that if a Bonecrusher followed soon afterwards, I'd have the two locked in mortal combat on my shelf, with Prime beating the eyeballs out of the 'Con just like old times.

I honestly don't care when we'd get him as long as we do ultimately do. But IMO he deserves a proper new figure sooner than Blackout does.

I would love that. And if I could just have the cast of the DS Decepticons game fully realized, I'd be forever content. That game was one of the things that got me into Transformers, and I still love the personalities they gave the 'cons. Especially slick and smooth-talking Barricade.

Even though a movie masterpiece Bumblebee is all I need, I really hope this movie masterpiece line continues on for a while. There's so many amazing designs from these movies that deserve more from their figures.

Also, do you guys think this Bumblebee will be remolded for possible ROTF/DOTM/TLK releases?

Who knows... it may eventually be remolded for the different Bee looks.

But who knows if or when.

If it sells well it may be possible we get to see MPM-03[a][b][c] or something for the other looks in the future.

July has been the press releases you guys posted for Bumblebee, "Summer 2017" for Optimus.

I'M CORRECTING WJ!!

JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ!

It's why I'm not on the news team.

If they both happen in July, I expect a news credit though.
