I like the Netflix mold, I've got Goldbug, its a good mold, but I think this SS86 one is better. Both are good.

I know this has nothing to do with bumblebee, but I got silver bolt the other day, and I really think there should be more transformers that turn into mythical creatures

Would have been nice if he had a spare tyre accessory that just plugged into the back, it would have made the robot mode even more accurate, but I'm sure an upgrade kit will make that at some point

I feel like they could have afforded an official VW license getting full DX price for this guy, but then they'd have had to keep paying it for any repaints, and with the non-licensed penny racer car there's less to change to turn it into a decent Cliffjumper - basically just head and feet. I have to say I like the black windows so much more than light blue, though. I've been meaning to take some metallic midnight blue to the five-pack Wheeljack and Trailbreaker I bought off ebay, and I think that'll be even better given how the toyhax sticker sets end up when they use dark metallic blue, but black is just as good as long as the rest of the vehicle mode isn't too dark to contrast well.

Hello great review

This quite nitpicky of me, but I would prefer that the corners of the roof be more rounded to more resemble a squashed, penny racer looking beetle. Those are really the only things holding me back from loving the vehicle mode.

The Hard Angles in car mode and incorrect headlights to skirt the VW License kill this for me. I'll keep my Netflix one

It's unfortunate they didn't cast the chest piece in the same yellow, and paint the windows, instead of painting the black plastic yellow. Guaranteed it was done this way to save more pennies, which is lamesauce, because he's already the smallest deluxe with no bonuses to warrant costing the same as the others. He's smaller, and costs less to make. Toss in some kind of bonus to justify the price man, blast effects at least :/

Love the vids, keep up the amazing work, I think bumblebee and wheeljack have been my most anticipated figs.

I can not wait for this guy!!!!!

Devastation 5 pack when, Hasbro?

Could never justify buying a box set just for Goldbug so I hope they use this mold for him

I do appreciate the conversion comparison.

I also have Goldbug but I think this is a good upgrade, mainly because it completely drops the clear plastic windows. On my copy of Goldbug, one of the little tabs on the window that hold the chest in place snapped off, making it loose. This is the only breakage I have had with any modern figure I own. Great review! Think I will pick this new one up when the price drops.

I believe the designers said the black windows was because of some of them, being on the same mold as some of the limb pieces

Yes, believe it was in its reveal that they explained this

My third time collecting began in 2018, just as PotP ended and Siege began. I do remember thinking it was weird we didn't get a Bumblebee in Siege given (a) he was one of the few main cast Transformers in G1 who got a Cybertronian mode and (b) his movie was out. I was excited to get the Earthrise one, and I do love it. I especially love the vehicle mode, to the point, I prefer to keep him in that mode. I'm excited to get this Bumblebee to transform back and forth.

I hope this figure gets retooled into Autobot Bumper!

100th like! But I don't think this isn't going to be the last bumblebee because there is the tf 1 bumblebee, the rumored re-do or release of a movie 6 bumblebee.

The double Autobot symbol is kinda redundant and the vehicle mode looks a lot like bumblejumper. But I still ordered 2 😂

The Netflix version barely touched the shelves here in the UK so this one is very welcome.

I personally prefer the er cliff mold bee but this new one aint bad Also the hood and roof bit transforms easier if you peg in the head assembly, I didn't know to unpeg it and was disappointed at the head movement until I realized I could unpeg it

Great Review mate! How did you get this early? I did the pre-order but don’t remember when the general release is going to happen.

this might be the first deluxe class transformer that I want to buy lol (I only have one deluxe figure by trading that that was it)

I love this mold but I think that Ill wait for the inevitable Cliffjumper retool

I can’t wait to get this figure I wasn’t able to get the Netflix one so I only have the worlds collide version and goldbug (btw off topic but is your 86 ratchets headcrest red? 1:17)

Better than PvP review better production value better script and a amazing review my dude I'm getting metroplex legacy your review inspired me to buy him

I kind of like how this Bumblebee pairs with the _Legacy_ Goldbug, especially knowing how much more different they are mechanically. Plus, it’s sort of a Porygon to Porygon2 situation where the upgrade/evolution rounds out the hard edges. Even still, there’s enough rounded shape language on the former to imply Bee’s friendliness, so it wouldn’t be as jarring an upgrade between the two if I used the Worlds Collide Bee. Incidentally, using this ‘Bee and not the WC one means Hubcap stands out a little more.

I really like this figure. Hes such an awesome little Bumblebee with a great botmode, carmode, and everything! I really, really want to get him! Netflix/ER mold is good, quite well-done, but I think this guy is a little, just a little better. Both are good. I've got Goldbug, fyi

The Bumblebee-all-end-all, to pinch a Thewism. I like this guy. The Netflix and 4-pack molds were good too, I still enjoy them, but I’ll admit it’ll be nice to have a Bee that doesn’t partsform 😅

They keep trying to cram more and more complex engineering into smaller and smaller Bee figures and I feel like there are a lot of weird compromises and the car mode is ROUGH. Idk why they don't just add more articulation and refine the engineering on the Classics Bee and keep it simple.

I’m more partial to the vehicle-accuracy of the earthrise mold (I think the penny racer look is kinda goofy and weird) but I’m still glad we have an accurate figure from legacy

I think the black plastic windows are a materials necessity or something like that.

This thing would be near perfect for me if the front headlights on the car were closer to how they were in the show (more like a VW Beetle) instead of sticking out like that, and the back was a bit more curved. Besides that tho, I am very excited for this thing

As good as this figure is, it kinda sucks that Hasbro has basically gotten away with this amount of shrinkflation in their size classes over the years. They could have at least made deluxes around this size a little cheaper than normal, but Earthrise Cliffjumper basically told the higher ups that this is now an acceptable norm. ROTF Scout Class for 10/15 bucks vs this guy for 25/35 bucks just hurts on a different level.

@OtakuUnitedStudio

To be fair, the parts count on this one is nearly double that of an ROTF Scout, but it's still egregious that it's being sold as a Deluxe. Cliffjumper at least came with enough extra stuff to make up for the difference in size, but this Bee doesn't. This really should have been its own price point of around $18 at most, IMO. Inflation over the past 15 years (yeah, that's how long it's been) has been pretty bad, so $10 is just unrealistic given devaluation of the dollar.

At this point Hasbro has abandoned the idea of classes being size classes, and instead have kept the same name and are using it as price points for extra funding by designers/ are using it to make a profit on how much engineering a figure takes or the plastic quality. Figures that should be voyager class are called leader class due to them requiring more funding for engineering or them coming with lots of accessories. That’s the way I look at it now and to be honest it’s made me less opposed to how they’re handling the different classes, because some of these figures like SS ROTB Optimus Primal wouldn’t be as good as it is if it was actually marketed for the voyager class IMO, because I know it would be hard for him to look and feel as good to mess with as he does if he had voyager funding.

@@xeno8092 A good rule of thumb is the balance between parts count and size. A large figure with fewer parts can be a Deluxe, or a small figure with more parts can be a Deluxe. It's about how much they can squeeze out of the tooling molds allowed. Fun fact, Cybertron Override was originally meant to be a heavy retool of Studio Series Hot Shot but the designers managed to squeeze all of her parts into the allowed extra molds for a retool, meaning she's 100% her own parts.

For the best G1 style Bee still going to have to say the Classics one is the best. Honestly with a bit more engineering it could be done to look more or less exactly like a full on G1 version

Question is, who’s better, legacy animated bumblebee or ss86 bumblebee?

the legs on 86 bee remind me of power of the primes seaspray, as in the way they transform

I have the first masterpiece one, still don’t know if I should get him

Ur the only one who positively love the new one whereas the others bash it to death

I have neither, but if I were to choose, I’d get the new 86 bumblebee, especially since it doesn’t parts form for the back of the car.

I always hated the parts forming on the Netflix one plus the cartoon car mode feels so much more right along with the proper yellow instead of weird mustard so definitely prefer the new one. Can't wait to get mine!

This figure is genuinely great and I love him. I hope my local target or Walmart gets him in stock. Also, I think Bumblebee should be an AE86.

I honestly at first was a bit mixed on this figure. But from more and more I’ve seen of him. I started to like. This figure (despite no vw license)

No blue windows. That means there will be a repaint pack with BB soon!

Neato

So, I have Netflix BB and I like him more in general in terms of a realistic Beetle mode. Transformation and roobot though, I find the SS86 and Netflix BB's to be a draw. Yeah Netflix has to parts form the rear end, but that never REALLY bothered me. I'm not as big into the Pennyracer look of the new BB. I kinda wish they had made a more stubby BB where the fenders were all the same size and he was just a chunky round, Beetle-esque vehicle rather than a scrunched up SD Beetle. I'm also not a huge fan of all the straight lines they put on the curved sections of the hood and headlights like it was old video game graphics where circles needed to be made with a bunch of straight lines. I get they were trying to avoid a VW lawsuit and never having a licensed VW BB again, but I have to think that maybe they went a little too hard. Another thing I like better on the Netflix BB is that much like Goldbug, he's fully painted in vehicle mode, meaning that the color matching is somewhat better across the yellows. It just feels more premium. I'll get SS 86, and maybe Hasbro will do the eventual Cliffjumper, maybe Hubcap again, and maybe we'll et Bumper and Glyph someday before Hasbro decides to start the Minibots all over again...again. 9_9

SS86 is way, WAY better than the Netflix. No partsforming and as cartoon accurate as a Generations budget allows it. He's even much better looking than the MP2.0 from all angles. My only nitpick is the lack of a VW license, thus making the vehicle looks like the "PS1" version of a Beetle.

Man I hate the yellow paint on the windows

im glad this figure exists, but im also glad i have a netflix bee. the engineering on this one feels like the earthrise engineering got another pass and has truly been mastered, but that altmode is just… not it, man. coming off the beautifully faithful vw beetle of the netflix figure, the simultaneously angular and rounded look just doesnt feel right. especially since it’s studio series, aka the line that loves licensed cars, so it just feels like they didnt want to pay the licensing fee for it or whatever and just made a really whatever-looking car mode.

I still need the Studio 86 one. I have the Netflix or whatever the other one is but I have to have all the Studio figures.

I know the stubbyness of this ones car form has been a bit controversial but to be honest the netflix beetles more accurate proportions felt a bit weird to me. Cause like the og toy was squished up because of microchange (and the pretender one) and the cartoon, especially the movie which SS86 is about, was also pretty squat. The length of the netflix beetle is more accurate but it means that Bee was bulkier and the feet were huge. Bee has always been super squat in my brain place so this one hits a bit more.
